### 4/5 — The Best Weather App Ever!

*2025-10-25, version 5.17.710*

Leave it to channel Six to have the best Weather app ever. Allen Crone is the bomb at weather. It gets cloudy out and I look at the radar. Thay have it on the money every time.Thank you or the channel 6 weather team for all of the  dedication that has been given to every one. A BIG THANKS from everyone in Hartshorne ,Ok.

### 5/5 — Weather app

*2019-02-24, version 4.7.900*

I love this weather app and all the weathermen on here. I do miss the ones that recently left like Carly and Zach I don’t know what happened to them one day they were there the next gone, but everyone else is wonderful too. I have only lived in Wichita for 3 years and was kinda worried about the spring weather here because of what people told me before I moved here, but it’s really no different but our weather people on here make me feel safe and I love the app as much as watching them daily. Y’all are appreciated. Toni Walker

### 5/5 — Weather

*2016-03-23, version 4.2.600*

Awesome! I like a local weather app and its nothing but weather.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Having a hard time with this during a tornado warning

*2026-05-18, version 6.1.401*

Giving one star cause I can’t send it with no star. It automatically assumes that I’m in Wichita tx every time I open it and will not let me permanently delete that location. Also is giving me the news feed to txs. My husband next to me has this same app and it registers him in Omaha and gives him Omaha news

### 1/5 — Terrible app.

*2023-03-01, version 5.7.301*

Not as good as the old app. Just shows clouds.

### 2/5 — Love/hate

*2026-03-19, version 6.1.401*

I love the app, it has lots of great information, but hate that I have to remove it and reinstall it at least once a month because it stops working. It’s brings new meaning to a love/hate relationship and I’m a faithful channel 6 weather fan. 
Going to look for something else soon.

### 2/5 — Radar

*2024-06-10, version 5.14.703*

The radar has been stuck for a week. Has been showing a storm when there isn’t anything.

### 3/5 — Weather app

*2025-03-15, version 5.16.1703*

Seems like a great idea having an app to help keep people safe and informed, but it’s not worth a hill of beans if no one is going to devote to updating it every few hours, including weekends, I check for wind speed and direction, but that’s about 25% reliable, still nice to have but don’t put too much faith in the app forecast

### 3/5 — Weather doesn’t match

*2025-01-30, version 5.16.1703*

The biggest issue I had with this app is that it only matches the actual news broadcast about 70% of the time. I have actually had the app opened while watching weather broadcast to match the weekly forecast against what they said and only see that 3-4 days match. So which is right the app or the broadcast?

### 3/5 — Problems

*2024-05-06*

I used to love this weather app, but in the last couple of months or so I’ve had to delete it and reload it numerous times because it just keeps shutting down and won’t let me maneuver around in it. This happened a lot about a year ago but then it worked just fine for a while, but has recently started doing it again. Reloading again now. Boooooo!

### 3/5 — Two different radars

*2024-02-03, version 5.12.701*

There is a six hour radar and a twenty four hour radar. If you line up the times on both you see two different results. Today we are getting storm warnings and I like to keep an eye on the weather this time of year. 8pm on the six hour radar shows us getting slammed. 8pm on the 24 hour radar shows the storm breaking up before it hits us. Which is it?

### 3/5 — Problems

*2023-03-24*

I used to love this weather app, but in the last six months or so I’ve had to delete it and reload it numerous times because it just keeps shutting down and won’t let me maneuver around in it.

### 3/5 — Weather

*2023-02-26, version 5.7.301*

I would give this weather app five stars if the radar wasn’t down half the time.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great weather forecasts

*2026-04-13, version 6.1.401*

I love this app and Ken. I trust his weather forecasts and updates.

### 5/5 — Nocona & St Jo

*2025-08-17, version 5.17.608*

We are often NOT included specifically orally’ in tv broadcasts, but I can ALWAYS 
DEPEND on you to notify me by Cell and provide me with radar, to see “real time” weather❣️THANKING THE ENTIRE STAFF for not only peace of mind but reliable warnings for my safety❣️

### 5/5 — The best weather channel I have ever used

*2025-07-14, version 5.17.608*

This has been one of the most accurate weather channels I’ve ever used. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Okie weather

*2025-06-22, version 5.17.608*

Ok, I moved here in 96 and I just thought I knew what a thunderstorm was. My experiences in Louisiana were scary but Oklahomas are - Terrifying - yes Terrifying! Thanks for the coverage. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Lake Wichita

*2025-04-27, version 5.17.608*

I like the larger screen. It gives me a lot more aerial view of what’s going on with the hundred plus miles coverage. I also enjoy the updates of any immediate threats that might be in the area or coming at us. Please keep up the good work. All of the team for channel 6 is doing great.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2024-02-03, version 5.12.701*

The channel 6 app is the best and easiest to use. One of the things I love about it, is that it shows wind speed and direction. I am a cyclist and this is important info for me.

### 5/5 — Weather forecasts

*2023-10-09, version 5.11.503*

Best, most reliable weather forecasts. The very best Chief Meteorologist, Ken Johnson! He tells it like it is, and, having storm anxiety, I appreciate it so much he will stay on air or Facebook no matter how long to keep you informed of any approaching, dangerous weather until decreased in intensity or has passed through the area. My family and I appreciate him so much, as well as Jayden and Cam!

### 5/5 — Keeps me informed

*2023-02-06, version 5.7.301*

I really appreciate how I am kept up to date on up coming weather and arising issues. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Tommy

*2022-06-03, version 5.4.910*

Channel 6 has been on my phone for ever, yes I have checked other weather apps, but for me channel 6 app is the best.

### 5/5 — Apple watch compatibilty

*2021-03-21, version 5.2.302*

Please make this app compatible for apple watch. I don’t want to keep/use the weather channel.
