## Review summary

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
