### 1/5 — Tornado warnings right now…and…

*2026-05-18, version 6.1.601*

Not a mention on the lame app. Says Watch til
1:00am. If my Florida weather app hadn’t told us we’d never have known. Worthless.

### 5/5 — Local

Shawn cable is fantastic! What a breath of fresh air for our community! Pay him well people… allow him the privilege of supporting his family and not be looking for another job because you don’t pay a living wage….He is an asset to your company.

### 4/5 — Handy

*2024-04-21, version 5.13.1000*

This app has kelp me out many times.  When a lot of other are talking about the twin cities not us down here.  The radar should a severe storm moving fast.  I was able to get my windows closed.  I have the app on my ipad & iphone.  Now can we have a app for Apple Watch?

### 2/5 — Problems

*2024-03-21, version 5.13.1000*

I love the KEYC meteorologists. But this app is not working. Videos won't play, and notifications are also not up to par. I'm not sure what's up, things had been working well until this week.
