User Reviews

Users praise the app for ease of use, reliable alerts, and flexible location coverage. However, recurring complaints focus on heavy advertising, occasional forecast inaccuracy/timing issues, buggy navigation (e.g., always-on setting), and too many non-severe notifications.

Pros

Timely and reliable weather alerts, including lightning and hail tracking, with solid radar data.
Easy to use with a simple, accessible layout and navigation.
Good location flexibility—can check weather for multiple places, including family locations across the country.

Cons

Excessive advertising creates clutter and frequent ad loops, detracting from the experience.
Forecasts are sometimes inaccurate or not timely, and can be out of sync with radar data.
Bugs and confusing navigation, including an problematic 'always on' setting prompt and inconsistent app modes.
Too many or unwanted notifications (non-severe weather alerts) overwhelm users.

Recent reviews

Keeps asking me to change setting for "always on" when it IS set for always on, then the screen won't remove unless I change to "only while using."

Please add the various weather cams showing views of the city to this app. The weather cams are on KCTV5.com but not in either of the KCTV5 apps. Also, the closer camera view of the KCTV5 Tower from Children’s Mercy would be a nice cam to add to the public list of cams.

The hourly forecast on this thing will tell you that there is a 90% chance of rain while the radar shows that the rain is 30 miles south. In other words, they’re only tracking location to generate ad data and make money, not to provide accurate weather information. (Which they don’t.)
