Beautiful App Ruined by Ugly Ads

There are several great design elements in how the app presents information to you.

The problem is they are overshadowed by frequently changing and often very ugly banner ads that take up almost a third of the screenspace.

I cant stress how ugly the ads were, often at a lower resolution with blurry text. Very distracting. In fact, I hold Progressive insurance responsible for my not using this apps as their ads were the most frequent and the ugliest.

I am in Atlanta, Ga and had no trouble pulling in info on the locations here.

I will continue to use TWNs website, where the ads dont ruin the experience. Maybe someday this app will offer a paid version without the ads and that extra real estate will be put to better use. Until then, there are far better options on the store. Shame though, this app showed a lot of promise.
