Other Comments
This is a neat little app for reading official NOAA products, including the latest severe weather and tropical weather info. This app is free, but it is heavily ad-supported. There is a pop-up ad that launches when you first open the app, and to get to the app you must close it. There are also iAds, as mentioned above. That said, I still like the app and would gladly buy an ad-free version if the developer were to release one.

Accessibility Comments
This app is almost completely accessible. All elements appear to be recognized, and all buttons appear to be labeled clearly. The only issue is that the iAds refresh every so often, and this interupts VoiceOver's reading and also causes you to lose your place.
