User Reviews

Review consensus: Users praise KXAN Weather for accuracy, easy-to-use design, reliable alerts, and travel-ready location features. However, feedback often highlights issues after updates: the new design adds clutter and slows navigation; the app frequently crashes or freezes; and the traffic map is unreliable or unavailable. Despite these problems, many users rely on it for quick, trustworthy weather and warnings, sometimes improving after reinstalling. Overall, usability and reliability are strong, but stability and traffic features need fixes.

Pros

Easy to use with a clean, intuitive UI
Accurate and reliable weather data
Timely alerts and warnings
Location-aware and travel-friendly (works wherever you are)
Fast loading and quick access to information

Cons

New design/format is cluttered and not an improvement; too much information on open screen
Crashes, freezes, and performance issues after updates
Traffic map frequently broken or unavailable
Slow performance or lag after updates

Watch the forecast on YouTube. It's usually more up to date than the app. This App has too many ads. Get the radar images off your favorite weather app.
