Has too many bugs. The app has way too many bugs. You can no longer adjust notifications by location or even delete a location. You click the 3 dots to edit location settings and it just pops up the screen for less than a second and disappears. This app was my main weather app but it’s impossible to use it now. I get notifications for places I don’t want and can’t get them for the places I do want. I’ve just silenced the entire app at this point and will probably delete it in the near future.

Frustrating. I get weather notifications then find that they are not available on the app! This is very frustrating! I wanted to read it again!
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Too many irrelevant notifications. I just want severe weather notifications. I don’t want to get a notification that the weather is going to be nice, the source of the smoke in NE KS, etc.

Notifications. I have my notifications to where I’m only supposed to get tornado watches and warnings, and I am getting notifications about other things.

Worst app ever. This app is the WORST app ever. Way to busy, hard to read and looks like a grade schooler developed it. Wait take that back, it would probably be better if a grade schooler did develop it.

No volume on weather update videos!!!. Weather videos don’t have sound.

👎. Not a fan of the new app.

terrible app. aside from the fact that the commercials on the app are copious and some containing far right leaning propaganda. it has the worst notification sounds and constantly pesters you every minute during a storm. it should be illegal to abuse push notifications to this degree. i turned down all the settings and it was still far too much. there is no excuse for this. epic fail of an app. don’t download. terrible

Rarely works correctly. Frustrated at the app. Rarely works and lots of ads

Weather app. This new app is not user friendly original showed more info faster and easier and it was all part of WIBW news not two separate apps very displeased with new format

Where is the live stream radar at?. I didn’t get the memo
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Accuracy. The weather accuracy is horrible. Never accurate.
★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…
Weather alerts. The main reason I have this app is to “stay safe” during storms. Friday night -April 29, there was a tornado warning issued for southern Pottawatomie county. Never got this alert. Luckily my husband got a notification from the national weather service, as the tornado was apparently only 8/10 of a mile east of us near St George. Apparently they only consider it important if the warnings are directly over you.

Review. Fair at best, Jeremy Goodman is a fake.

App was great before update. I really liked this app until today! I just received an update and now I am getting every severe weather notice in Kansas not just in my location! Obviously a bug needs fixed.
★★★★★excessive or broken notifications
Way too many notifications/alerts. This app will send several notifications throughout all hours. Even after turning off all alerts other than severe, it still goes off too much. It will go off for chances of rain, isolated showers, the forecast, etc. I would turn the notifications off but then I wouldn’t get severe alerts when needed, which is why I downloaded the app. I’m better off using another weather app and just checking the news when the weather is bad. Text alerts for severe weather are good enough for now.

Better get the big data plan. This S of B used 672mb in 14 days. I maybe opened it 10 time because it wasn’t worth opening. Only kept it for alerts.

App should be much better. Ad’s in front of emergency warnings is ridiculous. The app updates too slowly and doesn’t give an accurate enough description of the weather. overall lots of improvements need to be made

Need to animate rain. Animate rain progress

Error. Video errors.

Doesn’t work half the time!. About half the time I open the app, the temperature says 70 degrees no matter what the actual temperature is. And on the hourly and daily tabs, they all say 70 degrees as well. Very frustrating!

Weather alert. Frustrating when an ADVERTISEMENT pops up first when YOU have just sent ME an ALERT!
★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Video. We used to have several videos of weather forecasts but lately I have only had the 4am forecast. Let disappointed

Update. Just uploaded the newest update and the app won’t even open, keeps shutting down. So disappointed. So much for keeping me safe and informed.
★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Bothersome. Even though I have set notifications to alert only for severe weather, I get alerts all day that have nothing to do with bad weather. The only solution has been to turn off all notifications. I love the radar, but rely on another app for notifications.

Notifications. You guys are good but you guys send to many notifications 15 times
★★★★★slow performance and long loading times
It’s okay. Radar is a little slow(about five minutes behind the actual weather) and the app overall seems slow. But, it is WIBW weather, which is my preferred station for weather in the area.
★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Works well: one major flaw. For the most part, a very good weather app. Major flaw in the radar. Cannot see the precipitation/storms through the watch/warning overlays. Radar should be on top of the watch boxes.

Why I gave it 4 stars. I gave it 4 stars because you can’t really look at the world map which I like doing. But the app is still good.

WIBW weather radar app. I lived in Kansas for 50 years and was accustomed to using your weather app where ever I traveled for radar. I moved to Texas in 2021 and until your recent update was still using your app for radarj. Not sure why you changed it but I’m sorry I had to leave in order to look at radar.. actually don’t even see how local users can see radar. Good bye and thanks for the memories.
