★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Don’t show ads during tornado coverage. Interrupting Steve and the team with ads in the middle of live coverage of tornadoes rolling through St Louis? Ridiculous, craven, and embarrassing.

Bogus. I can never see the video about the weather - there’s always an ad running instead of the storm warning I want/need to see.

What happened?. This use to be my go to weather app, it’s pretty much unusable after the latest update. The overlays are a disaster. I just want to be able to see the radar with overlapping warnings, not a bunch of indicators for lighting. They only clutter the radar. It’s a hot mess.

terrible info-no info. app is again worthless. we used to be able set defaults on what to show. now you can’t set storm info, like: rain amount, storm info and direction. yes, it can be added, but each time the app is started, you must select that added profile, which at 3am, lights out, and not wanting to wake up my spouse, that can’t be changed without great difficulty. and you still can’t leave the app running because it stops updating. it’s storm season and flash flooding and tornado season, PLEASE FIX THIS.

First alert days. Why do I get an “alert” as in “first alert day” when there is nothing but clear skies and fair weather all day expected? I don’t want to be alerted to “nothing special today”

Glitchy at best. Used to love this app, radar feature hasn’t worked since I upgraded my iPhone. It will randomly show blue (snow) on the radar and it’s July.

Rating. Too many commercials pop up on this app!
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Too many ads!. Unable to event watch live video due to so many ads!!!
★★★★★search fails to find what is needed
Review. App doesn't work . Can never get the videos to play. Too many advertisements can't find the forecast
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Ads in the middle of tornado sirens. lol so glad I have to watch a 30 second ad to see some info about an ACTIVE TORNADO SIREN. This app is not intuitive- the live feed needs to be accessible - esp when you live in the Midwest and you’re panicking during a tornado siren

ADS. ADS. ADS.. Entirely too many ads to watch just to see a news or weather alert. I understand ad-sponsors but is it necessary to watch a 30-second ad for every 60-second video? It’s too much and a huge turn off. If I have to watch more than one ad to get my information, I will find another source.

Screen changes. Screen changes while I am reading the data without me doing anything
★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…
Too many notifications but won’t go live during severe. I’ve turned off all notifications except severe, but it wakes me to tell me a nice day is ahead. Then, in the middle of tornado warnings, it won’t let me go live.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
TOO MANY ADS. There are so many ads that the app is almost worthless.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Insufferable Ads. So many ads, and such LONG ads that it makes the app useless. Not worth the time. I could google the forecast before your app finally gets done soliciting to me. It’s especially annoying when it’s a severe weather situation. I don’t care what streaming service wants my business when I’m worried a tornado is headed my way.

No captions. No captions available in videos

Too many ads.. Too many ads.

App not as good as it used to be. You guys are way behind on updating the latest forecast if you miss the news on the times it’s aired it’s not updated til several hours later this last one actually stops when Kent is in mid sentence used to love the app but not anymore

Doesn’t work when you need it.. Doesn’t work when you need it the most.

Low accuracy with app. This app is very unreliable. It predicts 90% severe weather and not a drop of rain or other severe issues. It changes dramatically hour to hour as if guessing or reacting. Last weekend, it predicted a small chance of rain and the city got hammered and timing was off by 2 hours. Not sure it is worth using.
★★★★★slow performance and long loading times
Slow load. Slow to load. Poor content. Why video of everything. Would prefer a 1 paragraph weather statement summary

Talking on my phone. I do like the weather app except I don’t like the fact that it announces that it is the KMOV Weather Elert System.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Spam. Too many irrelevant text messages sent. I’ve never had an app spam me so badly. Such a shame. I liked the weather info they had.

Not happy with the update!. The old one was perfect! It had exactly what I wanted without having to sift through a bunch of clutter and garbage. I’m really sorry I updated it. I going to try channel 5’s app.

Quit changing stuff. The previous format was great-very simple. Why did you change it?
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Review. The new update is not as good as the old version. The new version is pretty but not simple. Simple is better.

Don’t like. Nee version does not alway open

Live stream. If your WiFi is not perfect the live stream BLOWS don’t have cable got the app for the live stream and it blows!!
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No sound. The commercial at the beginning has sound. The weather report doesn’t.
★★★★★slow performance and long loading times
Slow. While this app provides for accurate weather & the people are great, the app itself is frustratingly slow. You click on the notification & it takes a while for the app to fire up. Then it has to show you a couple of commercials. Then it starts up the video of the weather report that may be recent or maybe 30 minutes old or older. In the mean time I could have clicked on 2 other weather apps & got a report and full Doppler radar. It’s not like I’m running it on a real old phone (iPhone 16 plus ).
