Updated review:The update has fixed all the glitches! I am once again so very happy with this app. That being said, I will probably never participate in an update again, since that’s how it became glitchy in the first place!My old review:This app used to be a 5 star app and it now won’t even open or load on my ipad pro since the last update. Please fix this!

The real utility for this app would be if you could set it for tornado warnings only. I don’t care if there’sna severe thunderstorm with 80 mile an hour winds and large hail at 1 AM because I’m already safely sucked into my house. What I care about is a tornado where I should seek basement shelter, but your app lacks a setting for that. If I’m awake I don’t need an app to tell me what other alerts are out there. You need more specific setting alerts. If I set a severe weather alert and you wake me to tell me the wind is blowing hard in Kansas I’d be angrier than the storm.

As in the title. When viewing anything in the app a full screen advertisement pops up, after dismissing the ad it will come back within seconds making the app unusable. Along with this simply going to view a video forecast makes a video ad come up every single time. I get banner ads sure but this isn’t acceptable by any means. There’s plenty of alternative weather apps out there, only reason to use this was for local forecasts with our own meteorologists and to support the local station. But that’s getting much harder to do now.

The app itself is a great way to check local weather and check the 24/7 weather stream when there is severe weather in the area. Lately they have been sending out pointless notifications. Before I would get notifications severe weather in my area. Now I am getting notifications that the end of summer isn't here yet, there is a heat wave coming or that Labor Day is going to be between 80-90 degrees. If they don't stop soon I'll be looking for another app for local weather alerts.
