Good weather data. Horrible alerts. – Weather - The Weather Channel Review

The weather data is good and meets my expectations. The layout is too focused on trying to get me to watch their video content. Would like to be able to disable that, but not a deal killer. It’s the alerts that ruin the app. I want to get official warnings but don’t need some of the extra alerts about high/low temps and what not. You’re given the option to disable those extra alerts in the app but they will magically turn themselves back on after a period of time (more than and hour, less than a day). I can turn them back off but will come right back without notification. TWC’s official support article states that’s the intended behavior (?!) and to disable app notifications at the OS layer (in Settings). What, what?? You give me to ability to selectively choose what alerts I want in app but effectively ignore that and opt me back in automatically. Your recommendation is to disable ALL notifications, so I have to risk missing truly critical alerts to prevent unneeded alerts because you can’t code the app to honor in-app, granular alert options.
