It beats all weather apps I have seen. I love it and I highly recommended. Very detailed but super easy to use. All time favorite. ### 5/5 — Weather detail *2012-05-04, version 2.0.1* This is just what I was looking for. Like the detail and the alerts. Thanks guys for putting this together especially for those of us on the go all the time and use our phones as a primary information source. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2012-04-16, version 2.0.1* *****stars ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2011-09-01, version 1.9* This is an awesome weather app I use it all the time! If you guys update it you should inform us about heat index or some other stuff like that. I would recommend this app! ### 4/5 — Needs the weather alerts map *2011-07-14, version 1.8* This is a good weather app. I would like it better if you added the weather alerts screen where it highlights the counties in different colors if there is watches or warnings. Mark tarello is hilarious blazing like a blow torch lol Mitch Keegan is good too Russ joseph always stands in the way of the screen ### 5/5 — This RULES! *2010-12-11, version 1.4.1* This is the best weather app in the history of weather apps! Thank you Mark Tarello! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Battery *2020-07-01, version 5.0.400* Really liked this app until it started to be a battery hog. Don’t know what changed as it didn't do that before. ### 1/5 — Creepy voice *2020-05-07, version 5.0.400* Please update to not include a creepy mans voice that talks in my bedroom at 3 am to tell me there is a freeze warning in my area!!! Holy Moses really! ### 1/5 — App update has bugs. *2019-10-01, version 4.10.1200* I miss the reliable weather radar from the old app. The new one doesn’t always load the rain and storms, just the warnings. Weird. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Latest update *2023-07-06, version 5.10.500* It’s getting worse with each update…. Weather is way off. Radar too ### 2/5 — Alerts *2016-05-06, version 4.2.902* I used to love the app but not since I get a daily notification saying marks "forecast on keyc news 12 at 6,9,&10". I already know when the news is on....it is the same every single day! It is very annoying as I can't really turn off all notifications since I want the severe weather alerts. I tried turning off the alerts from the local station and left on the alerts from the NWS and I still get Marks annoying alerts...seriously I will either look at the app or with the news if I want to see the forecast. ### 3/5 — Would like to see live stream *2014-06-16, version 2.7.11* Looks like any other weather app. What would make this worth having is a way to stream live weather reports for those moments you in the basement, you can watch from your phone exactly what is going on above ground. ### 3/5 — Nice weather app *2014-04-12, version 2.7.11* Has all the info you need. Great radar and nicely organized. ### 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? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Local *2026-04-13, version 6.1.601* I like that it’s local weather, not the Twin Cities weather ### 5/5 — Updates *2026-03-10, version 6.1.601* Love the regular and timely weather condition updates for North Mankato and vicinity. ### 5/5 — Weather guy *2025-04-28, version 5.17.511* 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. ### 5/5 — Idk *2023-09-30, version 5.11.503* It’s helpful ### 5/5 — Nothing *2023-09-13, version 5.10.500* Great app ### 5/5 — Loved it *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* Gives best weather ### 5/5 — RB *2022-11-20, version 5.6.505* Always on the money ### 5/5 — Best Weather Info *2021-04-06, version 5.2.600* We stumbled upon this app and have enjoyed it over standard Weather Apps for years! ### 5/5 — Great Weather App! *2021-03-27, version 5.2.302* Very reliable weather app and the areas most experienced meteorologist Mark Tarello with video weather updates around the clock. ### 5/5 — Dependable - the best weather app! *2019-07-13, version 4.8.901* Found this app years ago,installed on two iPads, three smart phones, and a mini iPad. For a Florida resident to get the excellent weather coverage every time it is opened it great! We tell friends to try it. Best part I have 3 locations set and easily check them. The road maps are the best to be able to search out, --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
