Radar sucks with new update. I can no longer see the radar to present/future. I don’t have that capability anymore. I am now deleting this app because it is no longer usable to me

Radar is never accurate. Every time I pull up the radar for weather, it will not show any rain on top of my area, but it will be pouring. Sometimes it only shows a lightning bolt and will be pouring. When it does show rain over my area, it’s clear. I know you can do better than this when other radars show it correctly. Also, when you put it in motion, it will only show it moving for a few hours and then freezes while the bar at the bottom is still moving.
★★★★★excessive or broken notifications
Notifications. Not what I’m expecting. It’s an alert system which I take as a slight warning type system but I keep getting notifications such as clear weather coming and things not concerning bad weather that needs a warning or alert. Sometimes it’s in the middle of the night. Maybe spam has hacked your system so if y’all don’t do that please let us know

Location, location, location. I get alerts from all over La. and Texas. In the middle of the night.

No WiFi no app. There is no point in having a mobile app that doesn’t work with out WiFi.

Annoying Alerts. I wanted an app that would alert me to weather emergencies. This app sends alerts to let me know that the weather MIGHT change in a few days. Really? Ugh! Deleted.
★★★★★a needed feature is missing
New interface is terrible!. This new interface is clunky to navigate, both on iphone and ipad. It is too cluttered and difficult to see what you want. The carousel like navigation is a horrible addition, especially when you are on iphone...a quick swipe often turns too many sections at a time. They should have left this app alone....color scheme and all. I always used it over others, but i will be using the Weather Channel app until something is fixed (or reverted) with this one.

Not a good update. This is not a good update. It is not user friendly and overall difficult to navigate.
★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
Don't like this version at all. You heard the saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it!"? Well that applies here. I do not like this new version. The version that they just took away worked just fine and I could click on the app and instantly see the radar map! I loved it. Now I have to look for the map!!! I don't want to scroll through all of the different things to see it. Please please please bring back the other version. If had some bugs then fix them. Don't just redesign the whole thing because of it. Some people in this world appreciate simple!!!!!!!

Keeps crashing!!!. Much rather use The weather Channel app!!! Can't view radar without app crashing.
★★★★★a needed feature is missing
Add weather stats from 7 news app. The only useful thing about the 7 news app to me was the weather stats. Now they removed the wx stats section. I thought it weird I would find wx stats on the news app but NOT on the weather app. Please add them to the weather app where they belong.

App update May of 2019. I never write reviews but this update makes the storm tracks not near as useful as they were. Wife updated her iPad and it’s terrible. Please bring back the old version
★★★★★the strategic monetization miss
Need the weather quickly -you get an ad. Used this app for my local weather for several years. I realize they need ads within a free app, but a full screen ad pops up you can't 'x' out of for about 5 seconds before you can use app. Bad idea KPLC, I don't use you app currently. Will check back in a month or so, until then I will use Storm or My Radar. Please don't block your app with a forced ad.

Not good!. So very disappointed! I thought it was fine until it was recently changed! I don't like using it anymore and I may delete it! I'm going to just start using another app!

Don’t like new maps. The new maps are confusing and not helpful at all when compared to prior overlays of red, green, etc

Radar often does not populate.. ARadar

Bad Track Record. I love the weather forecast, but the accuracy and ability to warn me of impending bad weather problems has been a disappointment. For instance, just recently, high, 90 mile per hour winds, was a day late. These kinds of misses, along with rain or no rain can be awkward.

Weather App. The radar does not work half of the time otherwise it is a good app

No longer my favorite. Have always enjoyed KPLC cell apps. Used to b able to get feeds no matter how bad the weather was, unfortunately - no longer. Liked the earlier version better.

KPLC WEATHER APP. The weather app is pretty good it takes a little time to load sometimes but not as bad as the KPLC news app it’s just crazy and all over the place.
★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
Good but slow.. Got a bunch of weather apps and by for KPLC is the most accurate for our area. Gave you a four star only because the app is sooo slow to load. Fix that and you would be the king.
