Luckily I can use zoom. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 3 dots for editing not working *2026-05-18, version 6.1.708* Could you please check the editing feature for locations? I like this app a lot but on the last update, the three dots stopped working. They appear and then disappear very quickly. ### 1/5 — CBS Austin Weather App - Stopped Working *2024-04-08* This app worked for a couple of days then stopped working. Reloaded the app and found it has many bugs which keep it from reporting accurate information. Not a good choice. ### 1/5 — Not believable *2019-12-12, version 4.10.1601* The current temp is stated as 33. The daily shows a low of 43 and a high of 62. The low temp is 9 degrees above then current temp. ### 1/5 — App crashing *2017-09-22, version 4.5.1602* For the past couple of days the app immediately goes into the background upon launching. Reloaded app and restarted iPad with same result. ### 1/5 — Not very slick *2015-11-26, version 3.9.1201* I've downloaded the upgrade 12 times. It doesn't seem to stick as the next time I open it, it's the old app and encourages me to upgrade. Huh ?? ### 1/5 — Crash crash crash *2015-05-25, version 2.7.16* Hard to track a storm when the app is more unstable than the weather. ### 2/5 — No latest video or any other detailed forecast *2024-03-15, version 5.13.1000* This app has summary forecast stats in tabular form and weather radar. I’m happy w weather radar elsewhere. Without video of latest forecast the app is pretty worthless. ### 2/5 — Always freezes *2015-11-05, version 3.9.601* Very accurate WHEN ITS NOT FROZEN. Freezes way to often. ### 2/5 — Decent, but duplicate *2014-03-15, version 2.7* It's a decent app, but it's a rebrand of Intellicast. The only difference is I have ads for a local car dealer. Was hoping for more custom content and video from the KEYE team. ### 3/5 — Delete option *2022-10-28, version 5.4.945* The delete option is no longer appearing when you click on the three dots. I’ve deleted and reloaded and it still doesn’t appear. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent meteorologist *2026-04-23, version 6.1.708* Best weather forecasts!! ### 5/5 — CBS Austin Weather 5-Star *2025-05-06, version 5.17.612* This app is best of breed in accuracy, focus, while traveling and is a must for locals and travelers. I’ve been using this app a year and no other app compares to it. 5-Star app worth downloading. ### 5/5 — Best Weather App 5-Star! *2024-03-28* This weather app is by far the most detailed, informative, accurate and state-of-the-art available. I was a Weather.com user for a year and canceled my subscription as this app’s notifications is alway ahead of the competition and more timely accurate. I use this app all over the world and have been very impressed with it. 5-Stars ### 5/5 — Weather app *2022-02-11, version 5.4.945* I us ### 5/5 — Best for local weather *2019-09-17, version 4.10.601* Sorry, KXAN but they have you beat on the app! ### 5/5 — APP does no work after last download *2017-09-22, version 4.5.1602* After downloading last update, APP does not work. Does not recognize location and closes app after awhile. ### 5/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-19, version 4.5.1602* The app closes back out when you open it and try to view something. I've redownloaded the app and restarted the phone and it still doesn't work ### 5/5 — Nice! *2013-05-02, version 2.5.1* Very nice layout and navigation. Jury still out on accuracy of forecast. ### 4/5 — Junk *2018-04-02, version 4.6.1201* Doesn't work, hangs up constantly on ipad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
