User Reviews

The KOB 4 Weather app offers strong radar and alert features and an intuitive interface, making it useful on the go. However, multiple reviewers cite a recent update that removed landscape mode, added unwanted video content, and degraded readability, along with slow performance and inconsistent alerts. Accuracy concerns in some locations and limited customization further erode trust. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative with notable frustration over the redesign and reliability.

Pros

Real-time adjustable radar for visualizing weather patterns
Location-based severe weather alerts
Intuitive and easy-to-use interface
Reliable on-the-go weather information with hourly/daily forecasts

Cons

Major UI/UX regression: forced portrait-only mode, removal of landscape, and home screen video/news content that makes the app harder to read
Video forecast is unwanted and/or doesn\'t load
Performance issues: slow to load and some features do not work
Accuracy problems: local temperatures/forecasts can be off (e.g., Magdalena) compared to old version
Input/customization limitations: overlays can\'t be added and location search/keyboard issues

The most recent “update” on this app ruined it. It was wonderful before the changes went into effect. Now it can only be viewed in “portrait mode” and so I need to hold my iPad vertically just for this app. Also, since I do not live in Albuquerque, I have no interest in seeing the video of the weather forecast there and yet, that is what the Home Screen shows. I much preferred the old format visually, much easier to read. Now it looks like all the other weather apps except I have to orient the iPad in the vertical position and then clear away the video forecast. Really bummed about the changes.

I just deleted this app I’ve used for 7 years. I can’t add the overlays I am used to. It also subjects me to video forecasts I don’t want and news stories that have no place on a weather app. Such a shame you screwed it up KOB.
