User Reviews
There’s no way to contact anyone to make you aware of bugs or glitches. This is only one issue with this app- every time you post a video update of the weather forecast, the sound goes silent a quarter of the way through EVERY TIME. Way too many ads and every time you open the app you get a long welcome/Home Screen that takes awhile to go away. Seems like the app is getting worse.
Keeps asking me to change setting for "always on" when it IS set for always on, then the screen won't remove unless I change to "only while using."
Please add the various weather cams showing views of the city to this app. The weather cams are on KCTV5.com but not in either of the KCTV5 apps. Also, the closer camera view of the KCTV5 Tower from Children’s Mercy would be a nice cam to add to the public list of cams.
The hourly forecast on this thing will tell you that there is a 90% chance of rain while the radar shows that the rain is 30 miles south. In other words, they’re only tracking location to generate ad data and make money, not to provide accurate weather information. (Which they don’t.)
Love you and we don’t live in kc metro. We live in Tipton MISSOURI and still get accurate weather alerts for our area!!
There is far too much advertising in this app. I don’t wanna have to listen to a bunch of advertising to get my information and often times it loops through the advertising multiple times. The old version of the app never did this. I will probably uninstall it.
I LOVE LOVE ALL THE OPTIONS but tell me why I went outside and it’s pouring, 15 minutes later “Heavy rain detected near your location” I look outside and I’m excited to see how it could possibly get worse after how much rain I saw, and it’s barely raining, if sprinkling at all! I guess I’m giving it a 4 star review mostly because I was excited to see how much rain there was and got disappointed because of the delay. **Positive note:** Super cool app, I can even see when hails coming which I didn’t find on my other app. The lightning alerts are pretty spot on and I love looking at the lightning in the sky then seeing on the map where it striked?! Uh, super cool. And I even get alerts like lightning is 0.4 miles away from your location and then I get to watch it lol. So the lightning alerts are spot on once again. Otherwise from my small complaint maybe I’ll change it to a 5 when I use the app a little more. I usually don’t leave bad reviews because I feel pretty bad.
I don’t want notifications about the weather being nice. I only care about severe weather. About to uninstall because these notifications are getting out of hand.
Love this weather app. The only one I use
Volume is bad …..needs to be louder
