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

This app is fantastic. I’ve had all the various national apps and none of them take into account the nuances of local weather patterns. They are clearly just software. This app is not! It is reliable and accurate and has all the information you want. My favorite is the daily tab, that breaks down daytime vs nighttime weather, and the radar function. The only thing I don’t like is that some things are a bit small and hard to read/view, such as the video links on the home page. (Just a bit too much stuff on that home page.) I highly recommend this app to everyone in KC - even fellow Brian Busby loyalists like myself.

There’s no way to contact anyone to make you aware of bugs or glitches. This is only one issue with this app- every time you post a video update of the weather forecast, the sound goes silent a quarter of the way through EVERY TIME. Way too many ads and every time you open the app you get a long welcome/Home Screen that takes awhile to go away. Seems like the app is getting worse.
