Apple Reveals App Store Search Results to Include More Ads in 2026
In 2026, Apple is refreshing how ads appear on the App Store with new top banner ads and more running on search results.
“The Weather Channel” App is way better appearance wise, with NO annoying banner ads.
I still have the old school “WeatherEye” app from the weather network, one of their early app releases. Still works great on iOS 7. I find it quick and best of all no ads and doesn’t use as much space and energy as their “new and improved” versions.
You should upgrade to “The Weather Channel” app. It’s by far, the best weather app out there, with no ads.
Or just jailbreak and run adblock and have no more ads period. Anywhere, including YouTube and the likes.
If you’re not wanting radar or any of that other fancy stuff, SkyMotion is superior to any other weather app I’ve ever seen.
