### 5/5 — KOLO TV News etc

*2026-01-12, version 6.1.302*

The best up-to-the-minute news and climate, weather

### 1/5 — App

*2023-11-07, version 5.12.701*

Will not open

### 5/5 — Weather

*2023-08-22, version 5.10.500*

Jeff Thompson & the entire weather team are A+

### 2/5 — Love and hate

*2023-06-13, version 5.10.400*

I constantly get alerts for Douglas county when I live in Lyon county.  Right now with our active weather pattern, the lightning alerts go off like crazy and I’m not there.  
I do love that it reads the alert as it’s coming in, but it doesn’t concern me as I’m not there.

### 5/5 — Jeff Thompson You’re the Best !

*2022-12-10, version 5.7.112*

He’s the best weather guy, we appreciate the weather alert videos he does! Awesome!

### 5/5 — Smith Valley

*2021-08-20, version 5.3.500*

This is the only report that zeroes in on Smith Valley.  I appreciate that.

### 2/5 — Really?

*2019-11-15, version 4.10.1602*

Does there really need to be a separate weather app? I’m going to try it but honestly I’ll probably delete it and just use my weather Channel app. I don’t need two weather apps, it was nice checking it in the KOLO app.
