User Reviews

User reviews show the app is informative and useful for local weather with strong alerts and organization, but a core set of issues recurs: forecast/radar inaccuracies, frequent crashes and lag, problematic notifications, usability declines after updates, and intrusive ads. Pros include comprehensive local data and reliable alerts; cons include performance issues and data reliability. Overall, the app is valued for local weather coverage and safety features, but reliability and UX problems from updates hurt the user experience.

Pros

Very informative with lots of options and a clean, organized UI
Accurate and trusted reporting with reliable alerts
Strong local coverage, especially for tornado season
Excellent alerts that keep you updated on nearby weather
Comprehensive features that fit local needs

Cons

Forecasts and radar data can be inaccurate in some areas (e.g., SW Kansas) leading to distrust
Frequent crashes, freezing, and lag, especially with radar or after updates
Notification issues: broken links from alerts, too many pop-ups, and difficulty clearing notifications
UI/UX regressions after updates (new changes can be hard to use, banners not controllable)
Intrusive advertising and pop-ups disrupting the user experience

Recent reviews

They're good but could use improvement

I've had this app for quite some time and have been pleased with it. However , within the past few weeks I've had issues with loading when prompted to view anything you send to view.
