1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ads are ridiculous. Tooo many ads. What happened to point and click to get what you want. The storms are over and done before you get your information!! Stop these stupid ads !! Please

2. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

   Alerts way too often. Far too many non-emergency notifications including warm ups. Why? Voice notifications are annoying. Far too many videos rather than just the forecast. I don’t have time to sit and watch a one minute weather forecast when all I want is just the actual forecast. Much better weather apps out there.

3. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   WXIX WEATHER BROADCASTS. Your “replacements” for THE CHIEF - STEVE HORSTMEIER….. are simply AWFUL. THE PRESENTATIONS ARE CLOSE TO A KINDERGARTEN DISCUSSION. IF WXIX IS GOING STICK WITH THESE “NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME” individuals…. Your ratings are going to crash…CHANNELS 5,9, and 12 will bury XIX INTO A HEAP…. Get a professional or two on your team and send these “INTERNS” back to school.

   What happened. This was a good app. What happened to it. I keep getting notifications about heavy rain or lightning. When I look at the radar there is nothing even close to me. I deleted the app and reset the location but still no good.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   24 hour Radar. The 24 hour radar does not show 24 hours it only shows 12 and stops loading the rest.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Weather. I need more update information, 3 hours ago isn’t helpful

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t know it’s raining when it’s raining 🤣. Horrible app …..weather information does not update often enough.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Always wrong. Its always wrong about cincinatti ohio. Sevear storm alerts and even says snowstorms in the mid summer when its 90 degrees outside. Who made this junk?

9. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Too Many Ads. They force you to watch a 30 second for a 40 second weather report. No thanks.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Left out. Sadly cannot use track radar any more after april.after all these years

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not up to date. App rarely matches their forecast - everyone including Fox is calling for 10-12 inches of snow app only shows 20% chance.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointed app user. I click on the latest video based on an update I received and only get a commercial for Pur water. I receive your updates frequently and normally they are nothing. It reminds of Chicken Little!

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App. Why does the 19 first alert weather app keep saying “This application is not available in your current location”? I’ve been using this app for years and now I can’t get it. I have updated and done everything possible but still does not work

14. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    HORRIBLE ADS. Every ten seconds an app pops up at the pop of the screen and the whole screen freezes. Don’t download. Not worth the amount of ads.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Failing miserably. Will say it can’t find me every time I open app and must refresh my location. And they changed the rain and snow to look like grey clouds. So you never know if it’s rain or clouds. Download weather channel if you want a good app that works.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Had to delete, wakes me up in the morning.. I had to delete the app because there was no way I could find to turn off all notifications except the selected severe ones. Every morning at 6 am it goes off telling me to go to the app to see nothing is happening today. I don’t need to get up that early and when my sleep is interrupted then I become an unpleasant human being. If they fix it to where I only get the notifications I want then I may come back. In the meantime I’ll stick with Apple’s built-in notifications for severe weather which are more reliable anyway.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. Worked fine until I updated it now it crashes every time I try and start it up

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App crashes -no longer works. App crashes at startup now, no longer works.

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Update = garbage crashes.. This app works like it should. Daily, Radar and traffic is great. I like the Lightning located -- miles away feature w/notifications, and as always the storm tracker is the apps best feature. Update: after update yesterday it's terrible. Broke what wasn't broken. Crashes. Useless. Off to find another app.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hate new update. Go back to old app

21. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Won’t work!!!!. Since I updated the app, it won’t work! It keeps saying I need a connection to use it! Even after deleting and reinstalling the app it won’t work! Get this together!!!!!

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    HORRIBLE. This app ALWAYS lies it changes my location when I’m right at home. I compare my app that was 2$ and this app and the 2$ was SOO worth it!! DONT TRUST THIS APP

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Infected with ADS. This app is borderline malware. It’s so full of ads that navigating it is hard. Never mind that you may want to read or watch anything. The notifications are also just a push to get you to watch their news channel. Notifications come in just before they air Trying to get you tune in...rude. I deleted the app. Very poor experience.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ads=Deleted. If your app is good enough I will happily pay to remove the ads. I won’t continue using the app with ads though.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Please work on grammar and spelling. I expect proper grammar and spelling from my news source. The news articles that are constantly being sent out have horrendous grammar and spelling mistakes. I find that it is absolutely unprofessional and sad when I see spelling mistakes on the SECOND word of a news story misspelled. Come on......spelling and grammar for a news station!?!?!

26. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

    Not Recommended. Too much advertising in the app and too many notifications that don't relate to severe weather.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Vertical format. Why did you abandon the landscape format. Deleted ap

28. ★★★★★the strategic monetization miss

    This used to be my favorite weather app; latest update rendered it unusable. Up until the latest update, this was my favorite weather app. Obnoxious ad placement -- which puts horrible, blinking ads in the middle of the screen -- has rendered the app unusable. Hint to developers: it's possible to incorporate ads in such a way as to be subtle yet effective. Really -- it can be done! Lack of landscape mode is also problematic, but the deal-breaker for me is the ads.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Boo on latest update. This was my favorite weather until this latest update. I am a musician who plays a number of outdoor gigs and have relied on this app to know if and when the weather will turn bad. I don't want to be bombarded with advertisements and would be fine with paying a reasonable removal fee. But if that option doesn't appear very soon, the app is history from my phone.

30. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    What happened. Latest update is a major disappointment. It won't rotate to landscape and I was stunned at how the new format bombards you with ads. Almost every other panel has an ad in addition to ads when you open the app. The older version was actually one of my favorite weather apps with minimal ads and a rotating feature that let you focus on the weather. As a person from Cincinnati, I liked having one local app that worked well, now I'll have to rely on one of the big weather apps instead. This is definitely leaving my device.
