Left because of the ads
I've been using this app for years but the recent update made ads pop up to fill the entire screen EACH time I change from radar to 10-day to hourly info. It's excessive and annoying and not how it used to be.
Ads?!
Have had this app for years and relied on it a LOT. Now, since the update, I get no less than 5 ads when I’m just trying to see how the week will be. This is annoying af! It will be less than helpful during storms and tornadoes. Can’t see what’s coming because I have to watch 2 ads first! I’ll probably delete this one and find an app from another local station.

You have ruined the app
This has always been my go to app for severe weather information. Now you can’t even open the app that adds pop up back to back and you can never close the second one, son you have to force close it over and over. NONSENSE. Quit being dang greedy.
Was great. Now not so much.
Ads are getting horrible, to the point that when they pop up there is no way to close the ads out, the button is there but completely unresponsive. Try closing the app and re opening to only have the same thing happen. Hopefully things change. But for time being will be deleting and looking elsewhere.

What happened
Used to be the best. Now it has an ad every 15 secs!! It was lacking for about a year, but now in the middle of a storm when I want to know where the tornado is I am waiting for the latest pay to play game to get off my screen. Plus they are tracking everything big time!! Sad to delete used to recommend as the best. Sellouts!

Ads much?
As of recently, there’s a ton of full page pop-up ads every time you click on anything, it’s terrible. I have had this app for years. What a shame I’m going to have to delete it. It’s too frustrating trying to navigate it now with the constant full page pop up ads.
Getting worse every month
Why do I feel like this app is getting worse every month. Now you can even open the app or even touch anywhere within the app without getting hit with adds. Other people can sit in the same room and receive notifications while mine won’t even go off ever. How am I supposed to keep up with warnings when I don’t even receive them. Definitely on to a better weather app.

Someone got greedy
I really liked this app for local weather until they got greedy and decided to require 2 ads to open and another every time you touch the screen, even just to scroll down past the ads to see the current conditions. 4 ads to see why the tornado sirens are sounding is ridiculous.
Too many pop ups!
Why they’ve added a pop up ad for every screen clicked on is sooo annoying. There’s so many other weather apps out there. I don’t know why you guys would do that. I will not be using KAKE until they post somewhere that this has been fixed.
Just get another weather app
The ads overtake the entire screen every 2 minutes and the data must be from AI generated sources because it’s wildly inaccurate. The video forecasts are great and accurate, and the push notifications on storm warnings are useful.
Plagued by Ads!
Kake First Alert weather app used to be my favorite. Now you can’t even use it without getting ads pop up every time you open the app and multiple ads if you try to cycle between Home-Hourly-10DayForcast-Radar. I’m just removing it from my phone at this point. The app went from a solid 5 star to a 1 star because of all these ads

Getting worse
This used to be one of the best weather apps I’ve ever used and over the last year it just keeps getting worse. Now there are adds that pop up constantly almost every time you click any option within the app. Whoever is doing the decision making for this app only cares about advertising money and not the usability of the app. Make this app good again or I’m just going to delete it. Worthless….

Needs Update
Can no longer delete locations…menu won’t stay open.
New update
I love this app and have used it for years, it’s the most accurate weather app that I have found, but the recent update to the radar really irks me in ways that I cannot express in words. I wish they never did it.
Not happy
After they did an update I do not like the radar. Not very clear on warnings. Tornado warnings are not shown and to many other trackers shown that doesn’t give you the option to take off without the watches and warnings being removed as well
Great app
The app works great and I really like the notifications of weather alerts that talk.
Great until hourly precip went away
This has been my go-to weather app for years. I have found KAKE predictions to be more accurate than other local and national sources. But sometime recently, an update removed the hourly likelihood % for precipitation, which I had found to be quite helpful as an estimate. Bring it back please!
Good app…
Every app has their issues, but overall KAKE Weather is good, for the most part the weather is accurate, the alerts are on time and they have an awesome weather team - always catch Frank Waugh in the mornings.
Bearnt
Their weather predictions are hit or miss, even for Wichita. Plus, they are not detailed enough about specifically where storm related weather will occur. On top of that, they send you notifications for no reason sometimes accept to maybe up their responses to their notifications.
Radar is bad
The radar is never accurate.
