Alerts not working properly. Issuing alerts for non severe weather. Alerts are meant for urgent/emergent weather, but this app sends alerts for every random thing (such as sunny and warm). It’s sort of like crying wolf. Initially startles you thinking something bad is coming and eventually you begin to ignore all of the alerts. No where in the settings have I allowed non urgent/emergent alerts yet that’s what I get all the time. The forecast is messed up as well. Some days it will show 0% chance of rain on a certain day but when you click on that day to expand it it may show 50% chance in the evening.

The app itself is a decent app. The issue is all the alerts that don’t warrant an alert. Especially at 4:30 to 7:30 am just to tell me it’s going to rain the weekend, or it’s going to be hot in the summer, or it’s going to be cold in the winter. This is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. Has anyone there ever heard the saying if you cry wolf enough times, no one will believe you? And I personally don’t think there should be anything political, including advertisements about impeachment of our President or any other politician. This has nothing to do with the weather. I am deleting the app, and will no longer watch anything on WIS or NBC. I invested about 45 years to your station/network, but have had enough of the one sided reporting that goes on, and all the unnecessary weather alerts. Hope Management is listening and happy they are running their watchers/listeners away.

The radar works decently when it loads up. But the daily forecasts are horrible. It will show 0 percent chance of rain and sunny but when you click on it it shows 40 percent chance of rain and cloudy..... it’s almost like one of them has to be right so just put both up there. The hourly forecast changes hour to hour to reflect what’s happening at that moment. I can do the same thing by looking outside.... it’s useless as a forecasting app. It’s great if you don’t feel like looking out a window to see what it’s doing outside at that moment though. Lol.
