KCRG-TV9 First Alert Weather for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ads Ads AdsIn order to use any and all the data you have to sit thru ads . Each time I tried to open another section it was another ad first . Liked the old version hate the new one . Will be deleting this and looking at KWWL.Version: 5.0.801
✓ Freezes and won’t connectMany times this app has frozen (won’t open past the home screen), won’t open (says turn on Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi is on and everything else works perfectly). Very frustrating. This happened on my old iPhone and now with my I have new up to date iPhone. I love using weatherunderground. It’s much more up to date and doesn’t crash or freeze. I have uninstalled and reinstalled more than 20 times during the last year in order to check the weather during a storm when it is “frozen”. If it wasn’t for the times this does work, and the school cancellations, I would ditch this app..Version: 4.7.902
✓ Great when it loadsI constantly have trouble with the radar loading, no matter how many times I play with the map layers it won’t show precipitation accurately. I end up closing and pulling up your competitors app and it loads perfectly fine..Version: 5.0.400
✓ Definitely less useful than the previous news/weather appThe radar is far less useful than the one that used to be on their news site. I would much prefer to get my weather and KCRG news from one location but now I have to open two different apps. It also redundant that the app always starts with an advertisement for the app..Version: 5.8.501
✓ New setupHi, new setup to view the view quickly is awful. You have ads that take forever to clear and can’t even get to a very easy to read pinpoint Doppler like before. Change is good when things need to change, but if something isn’t broke, why fix it! Go back to the old format …..PLEASE!!!!. I will no longer go to KCRG for new and weather updates if this can’t be done!!!!!!! Maybe KWWL understands that new technology just because you can use it is better!.Version: 5.7.301
✓ Toggles are not workingI have turned off the lightning and precipitation notifications via settings in the app but still receive those notifications...all the time. I turned these off months ago and the problem still persists..Version: 4.4.1305
✓ RebootLove the app. Giving it 3 states because every time I go to another app and settle back to it it reboots from the start up ad. This is the worst part about it. Not major but annoying..Version: 5.7.103
✓ Has to re-load every time you switch appsAnnoying that it has to reboot every time you switch out of the app, whether you close the app or not.Version: 5.7.103
✓ Does it still work?No seriously, does it? I’ve had it load for me twice in the past four weeks, and I check the weather every day. They used to give me the most reliable up-to-date weather for any local area, and their weather maps were the best out there. I miss them terribly, but one of these days I’m going to stop checking to see if it will work for me..Version: 4.10.2100
✓ Bait & SwitchWas pleased to see less clutter in main app until went looking for Pinpoint Futurecast. Then click over to ad-choked Weather App. Much faster to just use a dedicated weather site like Weather Underground.Version: 5.7.301
✓ Background activity drains batteryThis app has used 4 hours of background activity in the last 24 hours. I only opened the app once to check the temp. I don’t even have notifications on. There is no way to block this in the background activity settings either. Please fix this as it’s drawing my batttery. Thx!.Version: 5.0.402
✓ KCRG weather appWhen I first got it, it was great. Now it is garbage. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. It only works about every other time. I access it. Half the time it just sits and flashes and doesn’t do anything. Very very very unimpressed with the KCRG weather app..Version: 5.10.401
✓ Hate the changesI used to love this app. Now I use a different one. A change was made and now all it says when you click on the shaded area is “special weather statement”. That does not tell me enough information. It used to say things like “tornado watch” or “severe thunderstorm warning” which is actually useful. So disappointed in this app..Version: 4.10.501
✓ Too many adsGood for tracking normal weather but when severe weather hits and I’m checking on my loved ones and trying to watch the broadcast I don’t want to have to watch a stupid ad every time I tune back in to the broadcast. Even if I let the broadcast load when service is spotty and my screen times out and locks, guess what… another ad. Fix this please!.Version: 5.7.301
✓ Wrong AgainMore times than not your weather forecast is wrong not even close.Version: 5.2.600
✓ Widget won’t updateSome of the past issues have been resolved i.e. crashing and the frozen radar page but the widget is stuck on weather from a week ago. I tried restarting my phone, deleting the app and reinstalling the app but it makes no difference. And where is the barometric pressure? Where’s the app support?.Version: 5.0.402
✓ Redesign is horribleI knew from commercials that the app had changed designs. I did not like the way it looked, so I avoided updating. I accidentally updated it a week ago and I was right, I hate it. I am considering looking at other apps, even though I love channel 9 and I’m used to the meteorologists. There is just too much going on when you first open the app. It’s difficult to find the information I am looking for..Version: 4.10.2707
✓ Need “Advisory” alert options, NOT just warnings!This weather app is a great app EXCEPT it won’t give you any options for sending you any notifications if there are advisories out. We had a winter weather advisory this morning that would’ve been nice to know about in order to be aware of slick roads and delayed travel issues. At least make it an option to turn on the notification settings in the app..Version: 5.7.103
✓ What is happening?Until today I would have given the KCRG more than 2 stars. Last night the weather station I relied on for weather info & alerts worked perfectly. Now the app is telling me that “ the application is not available in my location”. I haven’t moved. I have the same phone. I still can use the KCRG News app. What has changed? have used the weather app for a number of years because I trusted the team to provide the most accurate, updated weather forecast. I watched Joe Winters before there were apps. I already miss him! Help!! JAC.Version: 5.0.402
✓ Once upon a timeOnce upon a time this was my favorite weather app. When I want to see a forecast I don’t want to see a bunch of advertising. Like most apps any more they a just a bunch of advertisements for garbage I really don’t want to see. I think I will delete this garbage and tune in to the AM radio for my weather..Version: 5.1.608
✓ Meteorologists know NOTHING!Within the span of 25 minutes in which I checked four times, the forecast went from 10% rain to 70% rain to 50% rain to 5% rain. Some might call the fluctuations but I call it dummy syndrome. “Only thing you can be terrible at and still have a job.”.Version: 5.11.502
✓ AnnoyingEvery time this app is updated it works worse than the time before. Now it freezes so often that I’m probably going to just unload it and find another app. This is becoming way to annoying..Version: 4.6.2101
✓ Wait for ads to finish is annoyingI want weather right away. I don't want ads! I usually go to another site where I don't have to wait until the ads are done..Version: 5.10.500
✓ Pop UpsJust trying to check out the weather and you have to wait for the CID ad. Then in one scan of the upcoming week’s weather this rate our app asked twice within about 30 seconds..Version: 5.3.800
✓ Play button goneEver since the most recent update, the play button on my radar is gone. KCRG is the only radar I have currently, so this bug is going to force me to use other apps..Version: 4.6.400
✓ Have to restart phone for map to workThe so called performance enhancement upgrade was a major step down. The map doesn’t work and it is extremely slow when it does. Please fix it..Version: 5.8.410
✓ Too many adsEvery time you want to watch the weather forecast you have to watch an advertisement. You would think that a tv station would be happy that you are using their app. That shows loyalty. But instead they use the app to jam advertisements down your throat..Version: 5.1.608
✓ Not workingAfter the update today the app won’t open up.. Have removed the app from my phone and reinstalled it but still doesn’t work !! Please fix.Version: 5.10.401
✓ Not a FanNot sure who thought scrolling through multiple screens worth of info to find what I’m looking for was a good idea! And the map on the main screen is now < 25% of the visible screen! These most recent changes are not good, and after years of using this app, I may look for a replacement. 😕.Version: 4.10.1300
✓ Each Update Makes It WorseThis app used to be incredible. Accurate and detailed radar with many useful alerts. For some reason they keep updating the app making it harder and harder to use. It used to have a single banner ad, very reasonable for a free app. Now starting the app gives you an entire page ad for at least 10 seconds. They have also decreased the size of the radar preview making it all but useless..Version: 5.0.402
✓ Bring back the useable app!A while back an update to the weather app took away the big radar view that let me see if I needed to be concerned about an imminent storm or weather change. Now after the insertion of the same meaningless ad day after day to get into the site, I have to hunt to find even the most basic bits of weather news among all of the unneeded clutter on the screen now. I want simple information quickly from a weather app. If I need something more in depth, I can scroll down..Version: 5.1.608
✓ Takes forever to loadDon’t know if it’s just me but every time they make a change it takes longer time load. I can’t wait for several minutes for a weather app to load. It’s great once it loads..Version: 4.10.1300
✓ Map issuesRadar constantly blinks. Have to hard close the app and reload constantly..Version: 5.8.501
