  16. [R22] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Free Version No Go For Me: The free version interface is more simplistic than advertised but gets the job done. However, the continuous ads that run at the bottom of each page are too obnoxious and intrusive. The devs need to rethink or pay attention to the content of the ads that are shown on their app. The ads depict nudity, sexual enticement, toys for male enhancement, and more. Now, I can

I live in an area that is prone to severe storms so I like apps with good radar. I also understand that any free app including a weather app will have ads.

I NEVER buy apps and never will and lik
  19. [R29] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US Why is Weather & Radar so good…: Well. This can tell you what weather can happen next like a thunderstorm approaching and you look on the radar and see the future when it approaches. It sends you a notification what can happen next
