✓ Could be betterSometimes you have to reload app to get the storm clouds to pop up, at times it will only show hail markers etc with no clouds loading. Second thing is the future radar is always way off. Like 5 years ago apps where very close. But now it’s just not happening with these weather apps..ObjectDustVersion: 5.8.501

✓ Thumbs down 👎Don’t like the radar. The previous version had color variations that would let you see the intensity of approaching hail. This one is green, yellow, and red. I would also like to have all of the semi transparent watches and warnings be an option instead of default. Every time I open the map, I have to go through and shut off the watches and warnings to get a clear view of the map and the things I want to see like earthquakes and storm tracks, I have to put on manually. Somebody please enlighten me on how this one is better. Wish I had a choice, I’d go back..IsitreallybetterVersion: 5.4.940

✓ Too much to loadWith the latest update, the app now takes way too long to load. They tried to put a lot of information on the homepage, but the downside is it takes longer than a minute to load. I can pull up two or three other weather apps in the amount of time it takes this one to display..Khart25Version: 4.6.1400

✓ Update has made it unusableSince the update a little over a week ago, the app is extremely difficult to use. The map moves too fast, and the resolution seems worse. There is a glitch as well that occurs after receiving an alert. For instance, if I get an alert that there is lightning nearby, and I click on the alert, it takes me to a static zoomed in map. But then when you return to the radar map, you cannot get any the watch or warning boxes (that normally disappear while the map is in motion) to go away. These boxes cover the radar image. Restarting does nothing. Frustrating. I’ll switch to something else..JodyNeffVersion: 4.8.900

✓ News 12 WeatherI keep getting updates for Kanas City. I live on Long Island. My location is in as Dix Hills NY. Very annoying to have to see the update isn’t for here. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I am still getting Kanas City. I do get for Long Island but every video is for Kanas City..LiweatherVersion: 5.12.700

✓ Not user friendly.I downloaded this app because I am a fan of the news station and the weather team. Unfortunately, the app is nowhere near the quality. It takes excruciatingly long periods of time for the video blogs to load. Quite often I find myself closing the app to use a different one that works better. As a result, I am deleting this app..GoondogVersion: 4.7.900

✓ It's now spammingThe app does a fine job of delivering local weather information. However, a key reason I used it was so I could get severe weather notifications. It used to limit itself to that. Then lately, it started sending out notifications for things like "clear and breezy". Annoying, but it delivered some info. NOW it is sending SPAM. Messages like, "Want to know when it will rain next? Check the app". Infuriating. Useless. If this doesn't stop in the next week, I'm moving away from this app..TheFirstJust4KicksVersion: 4.4.1003

✓ Alert overlays drive me nutsI’ve used this app for years but the most recent update has made the alert overlays appear by default. Every time you open the app you have to clear the alert overlays before you can see radar. It needs a way to save a custom view or a button to quickly turn off overlays..Every Justin Name is TakenVersion: 5.4.940

✓ Don’t wake me for wind warningsThe real utility for this app would be if you could set it for tornado warnings only. I don’t care if there’sna severe thunderstorm with 80 mile an hour winds and large hail at 1 AM because I’m already safely sucked into my house. What I care about is a tornado where I should seek basement shelter, but your app lacks a setting for that. If I’m awake I don’t need an app to tell me what other alerts are out there. You need more specific setting alerts. If I set a severe weather alert and you wake me to tell me the wind is blowing hard in Kansas I’d be angrier than the storm..SheahlVersion: 5.3.502

✓ Failure To ConnectWhile the Storm Team 12 meteorologists are good, this app is just the opposite. Half the time I try to pull it up it gives a message that it can’t connect to the server. I now have an Accuweather app loaded that I reference when Storm Team 12 app is not working. I’ve reloaded the app from the App Store several times hoping this gets addressed in an update but hasn’t happened. This needs to be fixed..Mess80Version: 4.7.1004

✓ Stupid notificationsDon’t care if lightning was 4.2 miles from my location. When there’s a thunderstorm with lightning it goes off all the time and it gets annoying. Only wanted notifications of storms approaching. Just shut off notifications so I guess I won’t get those now but am sick of all the notifications that mean nothing. Maybe you should send out lightning notifications when it hits my location..AVMan2Version: 4.6.1400

✓ Used 1.7 GIGABYTES in 6 days + major battery drainDespite the most recent update, this app is a major data hog and battery drain. Something was using major amounts of data and I was able to confirm that this app was the culprit by resetting the usage statistics and rechecking less than a week later to find that it used 1.7 gigs. The total of all my other apps was less than .25 gB in that 6 day period. Before this I tried scaling back the app’s location access but that made no noticeable difference (“only while using app” instead of “always”). Besides the data, there were days when it was responsible for more than 60% of my battery drain..Flurr BallVersion: 4.6.1400

✓ Nuisance NotificationsThe app was great until someone decided it was wise to send out daily alerts about nothing ("be sure to check you lottery numbers", "it's going to get hotter 3 days from today", "hey look at me"). I complained to their feedback on the 2nd instance, uninstalled it after about a week of daily nuisance alerts. Chatted with some friends at a local Apple user group today, 5 of 7 of us had each come to the same decision to uninstall this annoying app..SwaltnerVersion: 4.4.1003

✓ The latest update is terribleYou can’t see the radar when severe weather alerts are turned on because they cover up the radar so much. Thunderstorm watch/warning used to be yellow and tornado watch/warning was red. Now thunderstorm watches and warnings are red and significant weather advisory is yellow. I have no clue what tornado will be. The app still takes forever to initialize..Strim91GTVersion: 4.8.801

✓ Can no longer view forecast without persistent adsAs in the title. When viewing anything in the app a full screen advertisement pops up, after dismissing the ad it will come back within seconds making the app unusable. Along with this simply going to view a video forecast makes a video ad come up every single time. I get banner ads sure but this isn’t acceptable by any means. There’s plenty of alternative weather apps out there, only reason to use this was for local forecasts with our own meteorologists and to support the local station. But that’s getting much harder to do now..BrettAppleVersion: 4.5.1802

✓ CT Users getting Kansas notificationsI used to love this app, but now I get notifications for Kansas weather and I live in Connecticut. I have the location set up properly and still every day get alerts for Kansas weather. This has been going on over a week. When are they going to fix this?.Val-MalVersion: 5.4.940

✓ Rarely even opens after updateI used this all the time before the update. Now it takes forever to open. Normally I get tired of waiting or I have to go to work before I can check the weather. This is not useful. I have only been able to use it a couple times since the update. I had to load KAKE FirstAlert because I need to know the weather. Please fix it. I have an iPhone SE updated with the latest iOS and a 100 MBPS WiFi network. It should not be this slow. It was very pretty the couple times it opened. However, if it generally doesn’t open, what does that matter?.HiccupNAstridVersion: 4.6.301

✓ Poor weather accuracy, app freezes upThe chances of desired or undesired weather will always be 5 days away so you keep coming back to the app so they can sell more advertising. Go to noaa, not as flashy, but not concerned about people coming back so they can sell more ads. Only redeeming part is the radar is good if the app loads..No u the manVersion: 5.11.503

✓ Is not very reliableI’m about fed up with the app. It is so unreliable. Just last night I checked it and said storms at 5 a.m, checked at 2 a.m. and no chance of rain. Then at 5 a.m. storms came through. Sometimes you can look at the daily and it says one thing but if you look at the hourly it contradicts what the daily said. I can be looking at it on my phone and my partner in the same room will look at it at the same time and it says something different. I just can’t rely on it to plan a day. Very disappointing and frustrating..KsleatherboyVersion: 5.0.602

✓ Last update hosed it upYou’ve taken what used to be a simple straightforward app and progressively hosed it up making changes that ultimately screws up something else! Two updates ago it was a 5-star app, then you had idle time so you started screwing with its overlays. Now the map doesn’t load at all. Go back 2 updates!.WilliewarlockVersion: 4.10.501

✓ Not pleased with update.After the recent update I haven’t been able to see the names of the tropical storms/ hurricanes. When I go to click on the symbols, the screen shifts up and there is not way to open the information box at the bottom of the screen..Liz&Cami91Version: 4.7.200

✓ Too many notificationsUsed to be really good about notifying for severe weather. Lately been notifying me every time the sun rose in the morning. On my way back to Wichita from KC last week, I counted 8 notifications about lightning, each about 5 minutes apart. Tried to turn them off, but kept coming. Decided to kill the app and uninstall it from my phone. Unless it stops, will use a different app..Jargon452234Version: 4.6.1400

✓ Dorothy, I’m NOT in Kansas!While I can see how this app might be useful if it worked well, despite allowing it to track my location (in NJ always), it consistently decides I’m in Kansas and gives me a Midwest video. I never add Kansas, always delete the mysteriously appearing state, even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it a few times, and finally gave up. Not wasting my (NJ!!) time!.KL NJVersion: 5.6.400

✓ Content is great, ads make app glitchFirst of all, I understand that ads are necessary. But a 30 second ad for a 35 second weather update is a bit ridiculous. It’s also annoying that if you want to replay the content, you have to watch the ad again. Please fix that..SimpsonkVersion: 5.12.700

✓ Turned into a SPAM botThe app itself is a great way to check local weather and check the 24/7 weather stream when there is severe weather in the area. Lately they have been sending out pointless notifications. Before I would get notifications severe weather in my area. Now I am getting notifications that the end of summer isn't here yet, there is a heat wave coming or that Labor Day is going to be between 80-90 degrees. If they don't stop soon I'll be looking for another app for local weather alerts..DpjohnstonVersion: 4.4.1003

✓ I will be uninstalling soonIf you don't get rid of these stupid notifications that pop up once a day then I will be forced to uninstall. It used to be when I heard your notifications I would instantly grab my phone and look because you always told me about severe weather and such. Why would I want to know that the forecast is changing soon. Or about a hurricane that isn't even affecting me yet. Get rid of these stupid notifications please..DodgevixenVersion: 4.4.1003

✓ The Radar is always inaccurateI started noticing the radar would show rain or thunderstorm in my area when no rain was coming down. I would switch to Ksn weather or the weather channel, and the Rain was far from my location..NellksVersion: 5.10.500
