Simply The Weather-Accurate

Overwhelmed by advertising at another weather website I found this to be spot on accurate without delays.

Too many pop up ads.

This used to be my go to weather app since I live in Versailles and work in Lex. You used to get hit with maybe one pop up ad when you open the app and now it’s one about every 10 seconds. Ends up taking me way too long to just check the weather.

Too Many Ads

I’m not sure what precipitated this change, but in the latest release of this app I keep getting video ads every time I go to look at the hourly or daily forecasts. Very intrusive and bothersome! I don’t mind ads in the flow of the page as I expect that. But these video ads need to go … especially since I didn’t click a fixed ad to see it.

Too Many Ads

I don’t mind ads, I understand the reason behind them. But I don’t understand why you get an ad after everything you click on. Open the app. ADS. Want to see hourly forecast? ADS. Need to go back to see daily forecast? ADS. The worst about it is the ADS keep freezing & I have to close the app out & start the process all over again & hope they don’t freeze….again.

Slow opening

Once I turn on the app, it’s like it’s a 30 second delay to go through the home screen and then a pop up or two and then you get your weather

Over Advertising

I used to love this app. I've had it for years. It was my goto for weather and I live in Texas. The most recent update on the pop up ads is unrelenting. I can't do it anymore. I'm sad to say I'm deleting it.

Ads

Sick of the ads, the other day I got a tornado warning and got on the app to see what was going on and had to watch a very long ad, I finally decided to delete!

So many ads

This use to be an app I used daily but lately there are so many ads popping up that it’s just too frustrating.

★★★☆☆ United States · v5.17.508 · 28 Mar 2025

Video Player Issues

The video player is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I assume it probably has something to do with loading advertisements before the forecast.

Can’t use anymore due to ads.

I’ve used this app for many years and it has always been fantastic. Clean and reliable. You can’t physically use the app anymore due to full screen ads popping up every 5 seconds. I understand one add here and there but come on. Open the app get an ad. Go to map get an ad. Go to hourly get an ad. 100% unusable in this state.

★★☆☆☆ United States · v5.17.508 · 3 Apr 2025

Worthless

So we hear storm sirens, head to our shelter, pull up this app and click the LIVE button. The stream is 40 minutes behind the current time. Not useful during tornado warnings.

Running Non Stop Popups for RNC Convention

I looked up the weather on my WLEX Weather app for the last couple of days and I wasn't able to see the weather, or turn off the popups, or the LOUD SOUNDS due to the RNC Convention popups every 5 seconds. I deleted the app.

Ads annoying but no lightening setting

Wish the app would have notifications for lightening because then I may have kept using.

Might as well be an advertisement app. Hopefully you don’t need this app to see if a weather emergency is heading your way…..

Ads made me delete forever

Forced ads as soon as you open the app and anytime you select a new tab. Ridiculous for a weather app.

Radar doesn’t work

Radar doesn’t work half time. Just flashes on and off on my iPhone. Deleted app and reinstalled it but no help. Information on site doesn’t seem to be updated to latest forecast very often. I have watched tv forecast many times and app will not be close to being same.

Ads

This app has always been my go to app for all of my weather related needs, I will be deleting it because of the new version of ads! I usually don’t mind ads, but the way they use them in this app are ridiculous! It’s everytime I open it and most of the time pops up every few minutes while I’m actively using the app. They are very long ads and it takes three steps to complete the ad to go back to the app. This has ruined my usage of this app.

Unable to Use Due to Ads

The ads pop up too frequently and you can’t even exit out of the ad. You have to exit out of the app entirely and hope that when you open it back up, it might maybe let you actually use the app long enough to check the weather before another ad pops up and halts your use of the app. This is a local organization so I gave them a few weeks to get the issue sorted out and the ads went away but then they came back. It seems they care more about receiving money from marketing than allowing their community access to weather forecasts.

I hate full screen ads!

This app has always been great, and the most accurate weather app compared to so many others on the market but I can’t stand full screen ads! I open the app, and I get a full screen ad right away any more. Click on the map tab, full screen ad, can’t even look at the map fully without getting another full screen ad. Want to look at the hourly? Got to watch a full screen ad first, want to scroll down, you get another full screen ad! So annoying! I have to close to app just to open it again, just to get another ad! I know you got to pay bills but come on folks!
