User Reviews

Overall, users praise CBS Austin WX for its accuracy and clean design, with strong value for locals and travelers. The app's forecast accuracy, plus features like a tabular forecast view and built-in radar, are repeatedly cited as its strengths. However, a cluster of stability and data issues undermines the experience: frequent crashes and the app going to background or freezing; problems after updates (not recognizing location, failing to stay updated); data reliability concerns (precipitation sometimes not loading, temperature values inconsistent); and a UI change that removed the delete option. These issues appear across multiple reviews, suggesting quality improvements are needed.

Pros

Very accurate forecasts.
Clean layout and easy navigation.
Tabular forecast stats and built‑in weather radar.
Strong overall value for locals and travelers.

Cons

Frequent crashes, hangs, and instability (including iPad crashes and the app going to the background).
Update/install problems causing crashes or upgrades not sticking (e.g., location not recognized after update).
Precipitation data not reliably loading.
Temperature readings inconsistent (current temperature vs daily low/high).
Delete option missing after UI changes.

Recent reviews

Could you please check the editing feature for locations? I like this app a lot but on the last update, the three dots stopped working. They appear and then disappear very quickly.
