User Reviews

Users praise Dakota News Now Weather for accurate updates and ease of use, especially hourly temps and travel reliability. However, radar functionality issues, excessive alerts, a video-centric approach with limited audio/text options, readability/UI drawbacks, and intermittent stability/location problems dominate complaints. The app shows strong data quality but needs radar restoration, reduced alert noise, more text/audio options, better accessibility, and improved stability across devices.
Pros
  • Very accurate and reliable weather data, including hourly temps.
  • Easy to navigate with good graphics and videos.
  • Trusted source for current and upcoming weather.
  • Accurate across travel and diverse locations.
  • Overall positive sentiment (e.g., "Love this app", "Best weather app").
Cons
  • Radar reliability issues: past radar missing, futurecast changes, glitches and incomplete storm tracking.
  • Alerts are too frequent/interruptive for minor conditions.
  • Video-first updates with no sound; users want text or audio options.
  • Readability/UI problems: white font on light blue background, floating screen, ads.
  • Stability and location issues: app freezes/crashes, not available in location, cross-device problems.

Station alerts used to be just for new watchs/warnings etc. now they are for every stinking little thing. For example, the one today was for don’t get used to the warmer weather. That is not something I need to be alerted for. Please fix!
