Had to drop my review 3 stars. What did they do to my app? The ad integration is AWFUL! I can't figure out a way to X out of them, so 90% of the time I accidentally click on them, opening the ad. It is utterly annoying. I feel totally trapped by them. Also, they changed the interface, and it's not nearly as good as it used to be. I have to scroll down pretty far to even see what I'm trying to find. Such a bummer bc this used to be an excellent app.

Ads are extremely invasive. I've been using the weather channel for maybe 15 years but recently it's gotten much worse. I get it. I'm using the free version. But it's like playing a cheap mobile game. Sorry, you won't irritate me into paying for your app! In fact, this makes me want to switch! Not to mention I have zero interest in all the other content they try to push all the time. I literally just want to know the weather.

I used to love this app. but ever since they changed how adds are handled. I'm deleting the app. Now if you go to the 10 day forecast then want to see the hourly you're forced to watch a rather long video add. Deleting and moving on to another app.. and no I will not pay for the subscription to a freaking weather app to have no adds. plenty of other apps that dont have these lengthy adds every time you want to look at the freaking weather.
