I love it!

It’s very accurate and it’s a very great app and I love it!

Finally! A local app that works!

This app is fantastic. I’ve had all the various national apps and none of them take into account the nuances of local weather patterns. They are clearly just software. This app is not! It is reliable and accurate and has all the information you want. My favorite is the daily tab, that breaks down daytime vs nighttime weather, and the radar function. The only thing I don’t like is that some things are a bit small and hard to read/view, such as the video links on the home page. (Just a bit too much stuff on that home page.) I highly recommend this app to everyone in KC - even fellow Brian Busby loyalists like myself.

Sound on weather video broadcasts on app cut out 5-10 seconds in after update

There’s no way to contact anyone to make you aware of bugs or glitches. This is only one issue with this app- every time you post a video update of the weather forecast, the sound goes silent a quarter of the way through EVERY TIME. Way too many ads and every time you open the app you get a long welcome/Home Screen that takes awhile to go away. Seems like the app is getting worse.

Idiots

Keeps asking me to change setting for "always on" when it IS set for always on, then the screen won't remove unless I change to "only while using."

Too much noise on screen

Please add the various weather cams showing views of the city to this app. The weather cams are on KCTV5.com but not in either of the KCTV5 apps. Also, the closer camera view of the KCTV5 Tower from Children’s Mercy would be a nice cam to add to the public list of cams.
