The app takes longer to load than my previous one. I’d prefer a landing page with the most useful info built in. The home page has high and low temps and you have to load another page for the hourly forecast. Again the load is slower than I think it should be. Upside is I think the forecast is more accurate. ### 2/5 — Unreliable during storms *2022-04-12, version 5.4.944* It seems like during peak weather times when I try to pull up the weather radar I don’t get anything sometimes I can kill the app and it comes back but most the time not ### 3/5 — Only 3 stars *2022-02-03, version 5.4.944* This has always been a great weather app, but it’s recently started showing a full day ahead on the daily forecast… i.e. tomorrow the low is 13, but it’s the FOLLOWING day on the app. I also deducted a star for no status bar weather display option. ### 3/5 — Like it a lot, BUT… *2022-01-31, version 5.4.944* I watch the video in the morning to get a refresher on the weather. Lately, when to touch the icon to play the forecast nothing happens. I can move the icons up and down and all other functions but can’t activate the video of the weather person. Also, the end of Brittany’s forecast frequently gets cut off and that’s annoying to the point I’m looking for another weather app. ### 5/5 — Excellent picture of the weather *2021-10-14, version 5.3.901* I find this app as a excellent tool to review the weather when I am ready/interested …useless nickname ### 4/5 — CBS Weather App *2021-10-11, version 5.3.901* It’s great during the week. I would like to see updated weather videos on the weekend. They broadcast weather on Saturday and Sunday mornings on TV, but do not include those in videos on the app. ### 5/5 — Not loading most of the time *2021-10-10, version 5.3.901* Are y’all having problems with the app? ### 3/5 — Rain *2021-09-28, version 5.3.901* I can hear it but no rain on my house ### 4/5 — Need a pollen count portion! *2021-09-12, version 5.3.901* A pollen count would make a good ap great! ### 5/5 — CBS WEATHER & NEWS *2021-09-08, version 5.3.901* I check the CBS WEATHER every day to see what is going on for the day & what it looks like for the week!! I also only watch CBS NEWS. Seem to get more honest news than any of the other locals! I like Doug, Scott & Pittman on weekends. You have a great team. The reports on the COVID-19 have been spot-on!! Things we need to know. Wish we had more on Afghanistan to keep up with what is going on there. Is ISIS-K still involved or are they attacking in Iraq? What is Alquida doing? How far is the Taliban going with Americans still stuck there? Is Biden going to do anything to get our people out??? Can’t believe he pulled our forces out with our allies still stuck at the Kabul Airport & are under threat of murder. More News please!! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-09-06, version 5.3.901* I normally visit this site most mornings prior to planning my day. North Dallas ### 5/5 — DFW weather *2021-09-03, version 5.3.901* This has been my weather station for years. It keeps me up to date on storms , heat waves, alerts, almost everything happening. Would not want to do without it. ### 5/5 — The best meteorologists in Dallas-Fort Worth *2021-08-29, version 5.3.901* I have been watching Channel 11 since 1992 when I moved to Dallas and it only gets better. ### 4/5 — Very good overall *2021-08-27, version 5.3.901* Very good except no humidity info on hourly forecast. This is very important to me for working outside. ### 5/5 — Dependable. *2021-08-19, version 5.3.901* This service is accurate and very dependable. ### 5/5 — Storm Who ? *2021-08-06, version 5.3.901* I use to use Storm to get my radar fix of where hail and rain was but ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad screen *2022-10-23, version 5.5.902* The screen that came up had letters overlaying other labels. Impossible to read. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2022-05-16, version 5.4.944* Will be deleting ### 1/5 — Herb smith *2021-10-11, version 5.3.901* Replace Scott pageant. He is awfull ### 1/5 — Glitchy App *2021-08-20, version 5.3.901* Especially when it comes to the weather video clips. ### 1/5 — Kept crashing *2019-10-21, version 4.10.1001* During tonight’s storms, app kept shutting down on me. We were on our way home from Houston and I was trying to see where the storm was in relation to where we were (Hutchins) and every time I looked back down, I was on my home screen. Went to the nbc app, don’t like there weather reports, but least it was stable ### 1/5 — No longer happy *2019-08-31, version 4.8.900* Something changed, maybe after the last update, but no longer happy with the apps performance. Won’t open at times, very unreliable, have to use other apps to get my weather. You need to look into it before I completely delete your app... ### 1/5 — Not Good *2019-06-27, version 4.8.900* Update lets you monitor 10 cities not 15. I agree not very accurate forecasting Weather since the update. Fox WAPP is better because they let You monitor 15 different cities and they do A very good job forecasting the weather. I love this app. Before the update this app worked great. I hope you fix this problem about forecasting the weather and let us Monitor more cities. From Jack ### 1/5 — Too Many Notifications 🤮 *2018-11-04, version 4.7.401* Besides other inaccuracies... One feature I use on every weather app is setting locations of my siblings. THIS app forces ALL notifications to be ON for every selected location...?? No thank you. ### 1/5 — No videos *2018-05-16, version 4.6.1500* Used to use app for weather forecast. Videos stopped working several weeks ago. Sent email to support and got canned response. Goodbye cbs 11...delete. ### 1/5 — Broken in iOS 11 *2017-10-03, version 4.5.1602* Button names are totally broken in iOS 11. Reinstalling didn’t help. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please keep this app! *2023-03-25* ImAs a Gulf Coast native currently living in tornado country, I am grateful to have such a good app, with hour by hour forecasting and live weather radar. The meteorologists at CBS DFW are, in my opinion, the best from the four stations in the area, and I really like being able to pull up the most recent video on the app. Recently there was a banner on this app saying it was being discontinued at the end of March 2023, and users were encouraged to download the CBS DFW news app. This has a watered-down weather section, with only videos and a general forecast. The DFW viewing area is massive, and a general forecast is useless. Lately, the banner advising that the app would be shut down is gone. I'm hopeful that the many bad reviews they received on the news app has made them change their mind. ### 5/5 — The best weather app I have found *2023-03-10* I’ve been searching for a great weather app for 20+ years. This is the best. The live radar allows real insight to what is happening NOW and exactly WHERE. The 72 hour “hourly forecast” is amazingly spot-on most of the time as is the 10 day overview. I do aerial photography, so accurate weather is very important to me. The pinpoint location feature really helps out. Try it, you’ll love it! ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2023-03-08* Don’t understand why this App is being removed. It’s the best. Already checked the weather portion of the CBS Philly app and it doesn’t compare to this one. My town which is on this App doesn’t come up on the CBS Philly app. Very disappointing that it’s being discontinued. ### 5/5 — Moving to FOX 4 WAPP *2023-03-07* I’ve loved this app, but just got a warning the app ends March 31. The FOX 4 WAPP is the same app, while the CBS replacement is nothing but news, temps, and rain likelihood, and I need my storm cells, so FOX 4 WAPP it is! Thanks CBS for the time with you and for sending us to FOX 4! ### 5/5 — Weather *2022-04-03, version 5.4.944* Good weather news ### 5/5 — Best Meteorologists *2022-03-28, version 5.4.944* CBSDFW 11 Meteorologists do give the most accurate weather reports for Northeast Texas. They have proven that. I love everyone that works there. News Anchors, Forecasters, Reporters etc. To me they are the most down to earth, caring, group I’ve seen on tv. I look forward to the news and weather everyday. God Bless all of you. ### 5/5 — Review *2021-11-18, version 5.3.901* The only way to improve this channel would be to have it on my laptops too. Thanks, good work. ### 5/5 — My Weekly Planing App *2021-11-10, version 5.3.901* This app allows me to plan my schedule according to the weather seven days a week. I love this app. Thanks To My News Team.
