App needs tweaking

Not happy with the newest alerts from the app. This makes the app like the boy who cried wolf with random alerts not relating to imminent/severe weather. Plus the tone is annoying compared to the useful announcement of the unmistakable Jim Spencer’s voice. That’s my main gripe, however having ads play when trying to watch a severe weather warning video i s clearly much more of an issue, especially when the warning is about a tornado touching down. Also a link to the live broadcast in the sidebar of the app should be added for the same reasoning, and as a redundancy. Don’t forget this app is supposed to help save lives, if it’s too annoying when there’s no bad weather people are going to have the notifications off or delete the app when it’s need most.

This WAS my favorite app...

Love/hate has progressed to just hate with the new edition of (approx.) May 2019. The annoyance of the app not respecting the portrait/landscape current position (which it did at one time) just required a restart of the app. But the “new, improved” radar page is abominable, and will force me to move on. Where the prior iteration radar page showed clickable watch/warning areas only when the animation was stopped, this version shows non-clickable areas all the time, totally obscuring the radar data beneath them. Surely Jim Spencer had no say in that, since it renders the radar data useless. The underlying map data is ugly compared to before... and if you click on an alert for your area, it brings you to a radar view of the roof of your HOUSE... decidedly less useful than the neighborhood view of before, so you’ll be “pinching” the screen over and over to get a useable view. This is the equivalent of switching from Google Earth to Apple Maps in the early days.

New feature: Commercials

This app is just one problem after another. I did, however, like to see an actual person give the local weather forecast. Now, there is a new feature added before every video, called forced to watch commercials. This is just a slight irritation, because the commercials load up and play just fine. Where it gets extremely irritating, is that after being forced to watch the commercials, the actual video that I want to watch, doesn’t load and play. I have tried to check other videos and reloading the videos over and over again. It turns out, I just get to watch 20 commercials in a row, and never the weather forecast.

This app is now officially useless. I am deleting this app, because I have much better things to do in life besides watch commercials.
