There’s another update now, but I don’t think I want to update this again, no telling what will happen!! It was a much better App when I first downloaded it 10 years ago!!! The only thing I still like about it is it’s still free!! ### 4/5 — Crash *2025-06-13* App has a tendency to crash occasionally. Radar function gets stuck in a mode and only way to get it working again is to delete and reinstall. Ads are too long. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-05-27, version 5.17.511* Seldom correct. Waste of time. Highly inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Radar *2025-05-25, version 5.17.511* When viewing the radar, the past is froze up and will not show any activity. ### 3/5 — Unteliable weather predictions *2025-05-24, version 5.17.511* I would love to give better ratings if you could give more accurate weather information. ### 1/5 — Horrible and inaccurate *2025-05-17, version 5.17.511* Radar way off, was showing me in the middle of a severe storm with clear skies as far as the eye could see, was in tornado warnings with the app showing me nothing on radar while all other weather stations and app showing different. If you want good weather. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO FIND IT ### 2/5 — Weather at a cost *2025-03-15, version 5.17.511* Tornado warnings all over, make sure you’re prepared for 30 seconds ads every time you click off the app if you’re trying to keep up with not dying. ### 5/5 — 10 STARS *2025-03-07, version 5.17.511* Grant, I’ve Lived all over the country and YOU are a rockstar. Thank you. Now do some research on a “snirt” storm. Similar to today but nastier. ### 1/5 — No accurate *2024-09-24, version 5.15.411* The temperature is always off. The radar doesn’t work. It’s storming right now and it shows nothing on the radar. The ads are also super inappropriate. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-06-09, version 5.13.804* Good for weather ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update Stinks *2026-04-16, version 6.1.601* I HATE the new radar. It moves way too fast and if I there is a speed setting I can’t find it. When your company depends on how much it has rained in a particular location, it’s nice to be able to slow it down and watch it go by instead of just seeing a flash. ### 1/5 — New radar update *2026-03-16, version 6.1.601* The new radar update sucks. The tornado warnings get burried under other warnings and the reflectivity. ### 1/5 — The new radar is horrible *2026-03-07, version 6.1.601* The new radar won’t load half the time and doesn’t show alerts with the radar of the storm. And we have a tornado warning right now and it never alerted about it. I have the settings the same as the old one but it did nothing. Give us the old radar app back please! ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* This app is useless. It’s full of ads and very, very little useful information. ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-01-22, version 6.1.302* More adds than content ### 1/5 — Missing town *2026-01-08, version 6.1.302* It will not allow me to add my home town of DuQuoin Illinois ### 1/5 — Grant dade *2025-12-20, version 5.17.801* He smokes crack ### 1/5 — Radar *2025-11-29, version 5.17.801* Radar will not show on map now. What’s up with that? ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2025-11-20, version 5.17.801* Every time I get on it, it just has a video of them telling the weather I wanna look at all the weather not just somebody on a video and I can’t get it to turn off ### 1/5 — Radar *2025-06-15, version 5.17.511* When viewing the radar, the past is froze up and will not show any activity. How can this be fixed ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keep you updated! *2026-03-26* The best weather app ever created! The keep you updated when storms are coming your way They also keep you updated when sunshine is taking over your day as well.🌤️🌧️☀️🌪️⚡️❄️⛄️💧 ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2026-03-21* I grew up watching KFVS12 and Dan Rather giving us up to date weather forecasts. I now live in central Missouri and love that we can still count on the weather team in Cape Girardeau. ### 5/5 — Channel 12 KFVS Cape Girardeau, Mo. *2026-02-19, version 6.1.302* Great channel ### 5/5 — Accurate and on point! *2026-01-23* Most accurate weather app! Really great to have a group of people that are on point! I appreciate everything this app has to offer! The alerts are great and very helpful! Usually, always on point! ### 5/5 — Download it *2025-08-23, version 5.17.706* The best alert for the weather. Try this weather app you won’t be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-05-15, version 5.17.511* Thank you for all you gut and gigirls do to try to k every body safe ### 5/5 — Simply the Best !!! *2025-04-25* KFVS12 is the absolute best for weather forecasting, news, sports for my area! We are never left out and they have probably the best people ever who are their forecasters, at the news desk local and national reporters. They are just all the best for us !! Thank you KFVS 12! ### 5/5 — Outstanding Coverage with Recent flooding and storm coverage *2025-04-10, version 5.17.511* All meteorologists are top notch! ### 5/5 — Enjoy hearing local weather *2025-03-23, version 5.17.511* The meteorologists are easy to hear & understand most of the time. I appreciate this news section on KFVS. ### 5/5 — Why *2025-03-12* Just could really pass on the ads—have no clue why they run in an emergency weather situation. Why is volume muted—just another annoying thing to deal with. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
