I was astonished to find that the app does NOT follow its own settings...when you first set it up, you are given three choices as a setting: (1) Never use your location (2) Use your location only while using app (3) Always use your location Well, I chose (2), because I thought it only fair that an application might need your location info while you are using it, so that it runs more efficiently or better, etc. However, after I left the application - stopping it, I noticed that I still have a banner running at the top of my screen which says,”NOAA Now is Actively Using Your Location. I went to the website to the privacy information located at the bottom of the page, and was informed that the company that runs and oh AAA now does not knowingly pass your personal information on to anyone. That being said, if that is the case then why does it need to run in the background, even when you have left the application and closed it? Because what it is telling you is not actually what it does. For that reason I am uninstalling this application and sending a notice to the Better Business Bureau about the company’s misrepresentation of its product. Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware (even though this application version it’s free)

This app used to be awesome (especially the hurricane tracker), even with ads...but now, when it’s opened, you are given the option to buy and go ad-free, or to continue with ads...only you are now inundated with ads. Every single time you go to a new screen, an ad pops up and there’s no way to close it....EVERY. TIME. So you wait 10-15 seconds for it to close on it’s own and/or give you the option to close the ad...nothing happens so you have to minimize the app and open it back up for it to move on to the next screen...nobody has time for that in a weather emergency. So much for the “option” to go ad-free...no thanks...<delete>

**Update** CS refuses to respond to emails. Stay away from any of this companies apps. They just want your money. Do not subscribe to anything or turn on location services or notifications. This new company has now started scamming people for information that’s available on NOAA website. The previous owner of NOAA Now used to have a $9.99 fully functional app called NOAA now pro. They discontinued the paid version so that they can make more money by charging a reoccurring monthly fee to remove the bloat ware that they added to the free app. Don’t support these companies that offer a paid full version then take it away and only offer a subscription to get rid of the rubbish. Don’t download it even though it’s free because you’re only going to encourage other app developers with paid apps to do the same. That’s how in app purchases and games that only require a data connection started. Don’t help them start another disaster!!
