I do NOT like that a loud advertisement comes on as I open up this app! 11/9/2024. It seems that for a while the ads played when the app opened were not as intrusive. But it's terrible now to open the app hoping to read about the news or see the weather forecast, and right off the bat there's an Ad "yelling" at you! I'll have to download a different local station that does not do this. Please change this!!!

I really like KCCI's weather forecast and radar and it was great on the Storm Team 8 app becuase it was solely a weather app. Since they are no longer supporting that app I am forced to use this one if I want to continue to get weather updates from them. I find the weather info on this app clunky to access compared to the previous app, and need to scroll through the news and advertisements before I get to the weather. Extended forecast is also not as detailed (moon phase, sunrise/sunset time).

would give 0 stars if possible. very intrusive ads when trying to access things like radar or storm information. don't use if you might need to know if you're in a dangerous weather pattern quickly. literally, the ads on radar take up half the screen with no option to minimize. horrible UI.
