The app gets worse and worse with every update. Forcing a full-screen pop-up ad as soon as the app opens is very bad practice, considering people can be checking the app urgently during severe weather. Stopped saving the settings for the radar map. I don't want to have to turn on the various overlays every time I want to look at the radar. Seriously, revert this app to the version that was available like 5+ years ago. It was so much better.
Newest update makes it crash. App is unusable. I un-installed and re-installed. Makes no difference. App keeps crashing. It is now the middle of August and again did everything as described above. The app crashes everytime I try to use it. Radar is nearly inoperable. Still a 1 🌟.
Used to love woodtv weather app. Been gone from Michigan since 2011 and have always used it But now the app does not show me the radar from saved locations. And tne new radar stinks. I can not pick and save overlays. Must choose every time I go to the app Can't delete favorite locations either Can't delete locations I no longer need. I have to load the overlays everytime I use the app. Location will change for no reason from last login. NEXSTAR has ruined what was the weather app of choice
