User Reviews

Reviewers praise NBC 5 DFW's weather radar and forecasts and the smooth live stream, along with trusted local reporting. However, recurring issues hamper reliability: weather pages frequently fail to load or display accurate data; the app often freezes or crashes, especially during video playback; notification counts can spike to thousands or duplicate alerts, making them more annoying than helpful; many reviews complain about repetitive or poorly tailored alerts and excessive non-weather content. These reliability and UX problems contrast with the positive notes about the weather team when the app works.

Pros

The weather radar and forecasts are among the best locally.
Smooth live streaming of weather/news.
Credible local reporting and weather team (Channel 5 and Rick Mitchell).
Overall good app when functioning.

Cons

Weather pages frequently fail to load or display incorrect data/updates.
App freezes or crashes, especially during video playback or after updates.
Push notification counts spike into thousands or appear duplicated/unreliable.
Alerts are repetitive and not well customizable, with excessive coverage of certain topics (e.g., high school sports).

Recent reviews

Been using and loving app for years for this specific feature and have referred many to use it however lately one of the most important features for myself and home service business is the radar forecast slide that shows us future trajectory of weather and advances with a time clock to help us make critical business decisions. Reading others reviews seems I’m not the only one being this to light. Please fix asap.

The time on the radar page no longer advances when you slide the bar towards the right to see the future storm movement. You can see the storm coming towards you, but the clock no longer advances to show the time of arrival at your location. Please fix!!!
