A decent app most of the time, however, I turned notifications on so I could hear tornado warnings and ended up getting news alerts such as, "A married couple lost their wedding topper. You won't believe where they found it," and sports news that I care nothing about. It would be nice if I could choose the topics I am interested in following instead of their random alerts. It's so annoying and bordering on being a menace.

Feel like any app that forces you to keep your location on, and it says in the application that they will give that information to third parties, is predatory. I couldn't get severe weather alerts for my town at all because of this. You could put in a ZIP code but when trying to then activate the severe weather alerts, it wouldn't let you at all. And that's sad. It's sad because it's obvious they're selling that data. Too many ads. Sad priorities

I'm hesitant to open the app because I'm going to see and hear seven ads in a row, especially byrant heating , cooling ad. Get your ged etc. I'll bet I've seen them 600 times! Is wlky32 brainwashing their Mobile app users? Put a cap on it please. It only causes restrictive use on my part ! You can't fast forward Thur Thier same old redundant commercials. You have to watch all seven ads! If I could I would rate them a fat zero!!!!
