### 1/5 — What a shame!

*2025-07-12, version 7.0.2*

The most recent “update” on this app ruined it.  It was wonderful before the changes went into effect.  Now it can only be viewed in “portrait mode” and so I need to hold my iPad vertically just for this app.  Also, since I do not live in Albuquerque, I have no interest in seeing the video of the weather forecast there and yet, that is what the Home Screen shows.  I much preferred the old format visually, much easier to read.  Now it looks like all the other weather apps except I have to orient the iPad in the vertical position and then clear away the video forecast.  Really bummed about the changes.

### 1/5 — App now ruined after many good years.

*2025-07-07, version 7.0.2*

I just deleted this app I’ve used for 7 years. I can’t add the overlays I am used to. It also subjects me to video forecasts I don’t want and news stories that have no place on a weather app. Such a shame you screwed it up KOB.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2025-06-17, version 7.0.1*

I agree with the previous reviewer; this new “updated” app is HORRIBLE!

### 1/5 — Awful new format

*2025-05-25, version 7.0.1*

Go back to previous format, it was easier to read and navigate, plus now there is no option for landscape mode. The white background makes it difficult to see compared to the black one. Thumbs way down!

### 1/5 — New Design Not Good

*2025-05-13, version 7.0.1*

This “Brand New Look” is scattered and difficult to read all the info at a glance. I really liked the old design. Guess I’ll have to look for a new weather app.

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-05-07, version 7.0.1*

The new version is no good. The weather direction of the wind hourly is cut off. It’s like it doesn’t fit on the screen. I tried to add back locations that I had this morning and I couldn’t type in the location because the key board doesn’t fit on the screen and I couldn’t type scroll up. Fix this!!  The app worked perfectly fine this morning.

### 5/5 — CS

*2025-04-25, version 5.17.509*

Best Weather Source, THANKYOU!

### 1/5 — Off by a lot every day

*2025-04-04, version 5.17.509*

KOB missed the actual low temperature in Magdalena by about 10F every day in winter. Always 10 or so too high on both the predicted and current low temperatures. Always.

### 5/5 — Very satisfied trucker

*2024-12-14, version 5.16.1703*

Use this app religiously it’s great to see radar weather on the go, knowing you what you’re driving into
