Most of the time it starts with a big overview of the country. I often have to move it to where I’m at. The biggest pain is the radar is way too fast. I like the old map better.
It USED to be accurate, it USED user friendly, it USED to help people stay safe. It provides late updates from the NWS tornado warnings, that is precious time that someone in the path of a tornado might not have. Of course, you’d have to even be able to see the warning! Guess what?! A tornado warning “box” is red, a tornado watch “box” is yellow, what color should take priority? If you guessed red, then you are officially smarter than whoever downgraded this app. Orange. The app decided that if there is both a warning and watch they’ll combine the colors and make orange. Because, nothing screams pay attention to this area like light orange in a sea of dark yellow. I am incredibly disappointed in what this app has become. Roll back the upgrades, nobody wanted this.

The most recent update is awful. Radar defaults to somewhere in the NE US before quickly moving to local area. Why? The playback of past radar is too fast. It is much faster than it used to be and that makes it hard to follow the progress history. Hopefully someone at KLTV will recognize the latest update has issues and will get them fixed in a timely manner.

Rapidly switching between tabs, particularly as the app is first loading, causes app crashes.
Used to be to go to app for weather. Nothing about the radar is good now. Not even accurate.
They are so bad! They go outside,and look at the sky to change their forecast!! Don’t waste your app space on these people!! LOL
Seriously? In the app today, a video suggesting inaccurate radar map could be user looking at future map & not making sure button in bottom corner says Past? For most users having it in “past’ map & still radar is inaccurate what would be the explanation? Please fix
Currently in a bad storm and this ridiculous app radar shows it hasn’t even hit us yet even though it started over an hour ago. Not helpful at all when you really need it.
This weather app would be a 4 star but it has gross horrific sick ads on it. What a shame!
When the power goes out in a storm, the radar does not show the storm system passing through the area, which is inconvenient because it is a little hard to tell if a tornado is headed straight for me or pass me. This app does not work for me.
Slow at everything. To many adds I don’t trust the temu adds maybe Chinese. Kltv 7 can’t get it rt. To long to load still. To much ads. Getting paid to be so wrong! 80%.
To much time taken to do the alert.
We’ve followed KLTVWEATHER for years but the last 2 weeks the radar is nothing like the actual weather happening 🤔
From the same app that makes you watch an ad before a tornado warning live broadcast, it makes sense that the only videos that have sound are the advertisements.
Radar is not working properly.
I’ve used this app for years, but lately, it’s trash. The radar doesn’t work at all anymore. Probably gonna delete as soon as I find something better.
The update broke the radar it does not function at all at times now. Prior it worked just fine. iOS 16.4.1
I already have the app, why do I need notifications enabled to see the 7 day forecast
Audio doesn’t load half the time, too many notifications
I wish there were some way to slow the radar speed. It’s way too fast to be of use to me. If there’s a setting to for this I haven’t found it. I’d very much appreciate this option in the next update.
