Now I can’t see the map because long, drawn out ads pop up immediately and once they’re done you can’t even click the X to close them out. I closed the app 3 times in a row and the same ad just kept popping up. Look, I know ads help revenue but if that’s the issue just make people pay for the app so they can have weather at their fingertips as soon as they need it. Sad to see this app change so much. ### 1/5 — Ads are ridiculous *2026-06-06, version 6.2.512* This started a couple weeks ago. Every time I touch the app to go to radar, hourly, daily, or Doppler, a stupid ad shows up (with a timer on it). Sometimes 5 seconds, sometimes 30 seconds or more. I’ve had to wait through 5 ads to be able to check the weather! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-03, version 6.2.512* I’m getting really tired of every time you click on a different area of the app an ad pops up. All I wanna do is look at the weather without having to wait for ads to run through before you can close them. ### 1/5 — KATC Weather *2026-04-04, version 6.1.601* The new update is still horrible. The map is so hard to read used to. It was so easy to keep up with the weather. It’s impossible. When you look at day and then look at the hour and it’s completely different. Day of the week sometimes says no rain then when you look by the hour it’s completely different. I really wished y’all would put it back like it was. ### 1/5 — Widgets on android but not iPhone?? *2026-03-17, version 6.1.601* Title is self explanatory. ### 1/5 — KATC Weather *2026-02-04, version 6.1.402* The new update on yawls app sucks. It doesn’t make any sense of what you have to do to get weather. Someone needs to look into this and fix it. You cannot send no emails to y’all. It doesn’t make any sense about the way. The new update is laid out. You cannot get no alerts for lightning, severe thunderstorms anything. ### 2/5 — Went from excellent to poor *2025-07-06, version 5.17.508* Only weather app I use to track, temperature, wind etc, whatever you need, it's there. It travels with you anywhere. Just enter the state your in, with the three little bars on the top right corner. ### 4/5 — Why no widgets *2025-01-20, version 5.17.508* KATC is local to me and I really like the channel. I just wish you guys offered at least one or two widgets. ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2024-09-09, version 5.15.406* I can honestly say you’re app is really bad. I get an alert, I go to your app, I don’t get weather—I get your never ending advertisements. I wait to try and see the weather video. I can see it, but it doesn’t play Instead, I get another ad, then another, and another. You must really be hard up for money. ### 1/5 — complete garbage *2024-08-29, version 5.15.406* it's always telling me to try another location....terrible ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-07-20, version 5.15.406* App is complete garbage ### 3/5 — Love it but enough with commercials *2024-07-18, version 5.15.406* Love this app and its features but lately it spams with the same commercial over and over. I can’t scroll down or click on a feature without the same commercial playing. It’s to the point the app is now unusable. Fix it please. ### 2/5 — Issues *2024-03-04, version 5.13.804* Now has so much advertising. Locks up. Deleting!! ### 1/5 — Adds *2024-02-03, version 5.12.702* That really enough with the stupid adds on there. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2024-01-27, version 5.12.702* The weather for my area is never accurate 😕 ### 2/5 — Radar glitchy *2023-10-05, version 5.11.500* Why is the predictive radar blink? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The ads are out of control *2026-08-25, version 6.2.512* I loved this app and now I hate when I open it. Forcing me to watch an ad everytime I click through anything is going to force me to delete the app. The information, radar, videos of weather broadcasts-all great. You’re ruining a good thing. ### 1/5 — Ads issue *2026-08-09, version 6.2.512* There is no way to pay a subscription or anything to remove ads. This used to not be a thing. But now literally every fricking click on the app an ad pops up. Like man I’m just trying to see if my house about to blow away in a hurricane not play “clash of clans” ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-09, version 6.2.512* The adds have made this app unusable. Can’t open the app to see the weather without having to sit through a long add. ### 1/5 — Was good *2026-07-19, version 6.2.512* I have used this app as long as I can remember they Started video ads when app opens picture ads are ok. I’m going to KLFY app. ### 1/5 — Getting too stupid with the ads *2026-07-18, version 6.2.512* The forced ads are now to the point of ridiculousness. I can’t open up your app without two ads being pushed through. Never had this issue before. This is why I’m deleting your app and going with a different one. I understand that the ads pay for things but when they are forced through every few seconds and I can x out of it, I’m no longer interested in your product. Only reason I’m leaving a review is in hopes that you all will wake up and correct this BS. ### 1/5 — Ad sounds *2026-07-18, version 6.2.512* The ads with sounds are terrible. If you are in a quiet setting trying to check the weather, it is frustrating to have sounds that are not expected. Please consider only silent advertisements for the app. ### 1/5 — Full-screen ads with sound. No thanks! *2026-07-17, version 6.2.512* Loved this app for years. Lifelong acadiana resident. App is now unusable. Plays loud, fullscreen ads on app launch and more. Uninstalling and extremely disappointed. Banners were fine, I know ad revenue keeps the app free, but this is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Ads make app inoperable *2026-07-05, version 6.2.512* I have used this app for years. Lately, the ads have been so invasive that it makes it nearly impossible to check the weather. Everytime you click on something or open the app…another ad. Not to mention all the ads where the close button doesn’t work. This sucks! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-21, version 6.2.512* The latest update has the ads covering the whole page and it doesn’t allow me to close it!!! Plus too many adds keep popping up every button causes a pop up it only should be one only not every time you click on a feature!!!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-06, version 6.2.512* The latest update has the ads covering the whole page and it doesn’t allow me to close it!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Avoyelles *2026-07-26, version 6.2.512* Love KATC especially Bre ### 5/5 — Weather Best of Teche *2025-07-09, version 5.17.508* Rob P is the very best weather guy in Acadiana! Love Rob P! ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-12-09, version 5.12.702* I love y’all weather system ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-11-12* Only weather app I use to track, temperature, wind etc, whatever you need, it's there. It travels with you anywhere. Just enter the state your in, with the three little bars on the top right corner. ### 5/5 — Great weather and news *2023-08-16, version 5.10.500* KATC has great weather reports with accurate forecasts. The news is second to none!! ### 5/5 — Dennis *2023-06-06, version 5.8.501* Use it all the time I love the radar ### 5/5 — Very good weather app *2023-04-10* After trying multiple other weather apps this one is the best. ### 5/5 — The Greatest! *2022-05-22, version 5.5.703* Depend upon you all, especially Mr. Rob the king of weather men! ### 5/5 — Go to weather *2022-03-26, version 5.4.933* This is my first site I go to in the am, my GO TO WEATHER!!!! ### 5/5 — Overall a good app. *2022-03-03, version 5.4.933* The best feature of this app is the radar. It loads quickly and animates wellThe hourly and daily outlook features are not particularly accurate, but I’m sure that’s because this is an app is not a degreed meteorologist….. it is simply widely used set of algorithms. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
