Just today I had to remove it from my phone and reload to get the radar to work. But the radar speeds across so fast you don’t get a good grasp on what the storms are doing. Options aren’t as good. It has change from a great app to so-so. Makes me sad because I really counted on it. ### 2/5 — Unhappy *2026-06-25, version 6.2.517* The app use to work and unable to see weather coverage. Anything I touch on the bottom like 24 hour etc the app closes out. I have deleted and reinstall 4 times. This use to work before I updated my phone. No a happy user- Laura ### 2/5 — RADAR IS MESSED UP *2026-06-24, version 6.2.517* FIX THE RADAR!!!! We’re in the middle of a hailstorm with golf ball & larger hail and your app is not showing it. It’s missing 5 minutes. That’s 5 minutes before and after the fact!!! WTH!!! I used this app all the time and even have suggested it to several people, if this keeps up the app is GONE!! ### 3/5 — RADAR IS MESSED UP *2026-06-04, version 6.1.601* I used this app all the time and even have suggested it to several people. But this last update had me wondering. What good does it do to have a radar that DOESN’T show the current conditions??? 5 minutes are missing! Not happy about this at all ### 3/5 — So many ads *2026-04-25, version 6.1.601* App is okay. Easy to navigate. Local weather. But there’s just so many ads and they’re too long. Sometimes I just look at radar map and not play the videos. ### 2/5 — Terrible ads *2025-01-19, version 5.17.511* The ads drive me crazy. And half of them completely inappropriate and repetitive. Make this app seem cheap and can’t even get to the info you need because of all the dang ads ### 4/5 — Ad-free Option Please *2024-10-15, version 5.16.1703* I love this weather app. I feel like it is, by far, the most accurate one I’ve found. However, the ads are so intrusive and frustrating. I’ve seen other reviewers give this app 1 star for this reason. I would be happy to pay for an ad-free version, and I’m probably not the only one. If anyone is reading these reviews, please consider a paid version of this app without ads. ### 4/5 — R. McCarty *2024-07-19, version 5.15.409* Good but sorely needs to have front lines put in to show advancing weather changes and areas of potential severe approaching weather as well as dry lines for the same reasons. ### 2/5 — KCBD FiRSt Alert *2024-05-17, version 5.13.804* I tried to verify Severe Storm Warning on 16 May but could not Also not able to contact KCBD ### 5/5 — KCBD Weather *2023-10-31, version 5.12.702* It’s a good app. It seems to be spot on. And the 10 forecast, even though it can change on a moment’s notice, helps me plan ahead! ### 5/5 — The Best *2023-10-18, version 5.10.400* Been a Fan for many of years ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many bugs. *2026-06-23, version 6.2.517* Ever since the latest update, this app constantly crashes out. ### 1/5 — Was Great, Now Coverage You Can’t Count On! *2026-06-23, version 6.2.517* Used to be the best weather app out there then they changed it several months ago and it gets worse each update. Too bad they changed it. I would rate 0 stars if able. Also, if it had less adds it would probably work better ### 1/5 — Weather App *2026-06-19, version 6.1.601* Radar sucks. The forecast is never correct here unless it has to do with the wind. App shows one thing on one phone and another on a different phone ### 1/5 — Commercials hang up the app *2026-05-02, version 6.1.601* I’ve tried several times to watch things on the app with commercials won’t stop and I can never see the weather. Same thing happens with the news. It is very frustrating and I usually just go somewhere else to get the News or Weather. ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2025-06-20, version 5.17.511* Daily tab crashes every time I click on it. Conveniently, the app resets when you open it again with another ad. This has been an issue for over a year. Probably just so they can sell More ads. Shills. ### 1/5 — Great weather with *2025-05-29, version 5.17.511* If I have to see another ad with bugs going into someone’s huge nose, I think I’ll have a nervous breakdown. I have reported this ad from adsense about 100 times and no one has done any single thing about it. I had to delete this app because cannot stand to look at it twice in the same weather report. It’s disgusting! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2025-04-22, version 5.17.511* A 15 second ad for a 10 second video of a still image is diabolical. ### 1/5 — Sellouts *2024-06-20* This app is beyond frustrating. The constant bombardment of ads is ridiculous. You can’t even close out of the app and go right back in without it completely resetting just show it can show another sponsor. You have to wait on commercials just to watch a video of a single graphic. To top it off it keeps crashing every time I try to navigate through the app. ### 1/5 — Unreliable weather reports. *2024-06-01, version 5.14.703* Weather reports inaccurate. The real bad ones don’t get reported. ### 1/5 — Used to be awesome now super glitchy *2023-06-30, version 5.10.400* This app used to be awesome but in the last month or so it has gotten super glitchy. Every time I open it, I have to restart it because the radar starts flashing and it locks up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-30, version 6.2.517* Great app and it works great ### 5/5 — Attention required *2026-06-16, version 6.1.601* The grqphics on the map are frozen. It crashes the app ### 5/5 — Better prediction than 5 other apps *2026-04-26, version 6.1.601* We were camping in Fort Worth, and this app was the only one predicting a supercell storm last night. Weather channel, NOAA, AccuWeather, etc. did not predict the storm as early as KCBD. We were able to vacate the campsite by 3 o’clock and arrive home safely before the 10 PM storm. Not all campers left as soon as we did. Grateful for KCBD! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-05-02, version 5.17.511* Dear future person who would like to own this app, I would recommend it because you get live weather forecasting from all around you and it is just very good so if you are thinking about getting a Weather app, I would recommend downloading this one. Thank you for listening. Also, I’m British. ### 5/5 — Accurate! *2024-07-21, version 5.15.409* Very accurate weather! I’m a contractor, so I need to know what the weather looks like before it happens… This is my go to app! ### 5/5 — Trends and friends *2024-05-16, version 5.13.804* I’m friends with all of the news reporters in Lubbock Texas hey listen tell Jacob Reilly with the everything Lubbock news mobile app to please fix that everything Lubbock news Mobile app ### 5/5 — Mr Rangel *2024-05-15, version 5.13.804* I just love this app it’s so informative and accurate and the news anchors are awesome ### 5/5 — Griffin *2024-04-04, version 5.13.804* Griffin ### 5/5 — Good *2024-03-25, version 5.13.804* This app is great and helpful ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-02-02, version 5.12.702* Love it it is awesome --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
