Update keeps crashing

Most recent update keeps crashing.

Animated radar crashes constantly

Anytime you attempt to add storm tracks the radar crashes. Won't even stay up long enough to use. Been this way for over a month. Works on iPad but not iPhones Stick with Weatherbug.

Clickbait and Bugs

Crashes and way too many notifications that don’t matter. Example - Gives notifications for counties in Oklahoma when they have a tornado warning. I don’t mind seeing that in NWA because it’s our region, but don’t send notifications. Also get meaningless notifications like, “Will the storms stay in the forecast? Click to see!” Uninstalling.

Unreliable!!

First, you have to watch a commercial THEN the live stream doesn't work. Real classy when a tornado warning is ongoing.

Annoying ”teaser” notifications

Find another option!!

Frequent notifications all of which are just unimportant teaser questions from Melissa and Dan.

Ex: “Will this heat continue or does the weekend bring us a cool down? Click here to find out -Dan”.

These pointless and very annoying notifications are always signed from either Melissa or Dan...they spam you several times a day!

It’s unnecessary and rude. It’s literally made me not like them anymore.

Weather related notifications should only be used for communicating important ACTUAL weather related news.

Ads Ads Ads

NWA is good and the info is good but the ads that pop up and obscure everything make it a non-stater for me. I would almost be willing to pay to avoid... but then again, maybe not.

This app used to be good

NWA used to be good. The last tornado warning we were under, they didn’t even provide the local weather... basically makes NWA worthless..

HORRIBLE - FLOODED WITH ADS REDIRECTS

HAD TO DELETE IT. Obnoxious ads, multiple redirects, trying to make money on ad clicks and in no way trying to provide a service to local viewers. The WORST weather app EVER!!!!!

Better have WiFi

When it matters the most and there’s a cloud in the sky, NWA is so busy with junk it won’t load if your on cellular. I’ve not once gotten a “live” report. Sunny day forecast is great but if there is stormy weather you might as well just look out the window. I’ve needed it to work several times in severe weather with plenty of signal and NWA has let me down. every. single. time :-(

Crash crash crash

Newest update won't open without crashing.

Video ads are a deal breaker

This has been the most accurate forecast app I’ve used. The pop up ads were annoying but a quick swipe and they were gone. The new mandatory video ads however are a step too far. If I need forecast data RIGHT NOW I can’t, I have to sit through video ads. What If it were an emergency?
I get the bill need to be paid, and showing still ads would be a fine compromise. But this...

Sorry, Dan. I’m out. I’ll get my weather data elsewhere.

Good, but can be improved (especially for ipad)

NWA says it is for ipad, but most sections are optimized for iphone. Maps and forecast screens cover just a third of the screen. The content is rich though. Has everything that you will expect from a weather app, including a live stream (during severe weather only). There is also a possibility to chat with weathermen.

Good weather app!

Comparable to Weather Bug, which is a great app.

Get it

Love NWA very good with weather.

Awesome

This tells me all the weather status and what's coming!!! I love NWA!!!

Love this app

I absolutely love your app, when I was in Missouri over the summer it still gave me the weather alerts in my exact locations excellent app

Latest update broke it

Please rollback the "bug fixes". It stopped working when you rolled those out.
