### 3/5 — Your radar is all green

*2025-10-27, version 5.17.710*

Please fix the radar! It is completely unhelpful to have the entire state shown as Green when it is not raining at all.

### 3/5 — Radar never correct

*2024-06-29, version 5.13.806*

The radar on the app never matches what is happening at my location or any other radar.

### 2/5 — Ok app with one terrible flaw

*2018-11-25, version 4.7.402*

Takes forever to load. Maybe 3 times longer than other apps.

### 2/5 — Does not update regularly

*2017-06-17, version 4.4.1302*

Too often it will be bright and sunny but show 90% chance of thunderstorms or vice versa because that is what the forecast was a day ago. Moving back to accuweather.

### 2/5 — It was great until the update.

*2017-02-18, version 4.4.601*

Now the interface is just short of incomprehensible, and they took away landscape mode on the iPad version, which makes absolutely no sense. Deleted.

### 3/5 — Used to be a great app

*2017-02-12, version 4.4.601*

Until around a month ago this was a great app, since someone decided to add an initial splash screen that lasts around 10 seconds. This might sound a short time but when you are in a hurry this is too much. Even if the app is in memory (already open) this screen comes up again every time.
I'm deleting this app.

### 3/5 — New version very inferior

*2013-07-15, version 1.2*

Maps harder to read, less GUI

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-02-09, version 5.17.509*

Very slow to open. Lots of ads. Very little information about the weather is provided. The app pretty much just directs you to the stream of the current or latest news cast.

### 1/5 — Can’t see humidity or due point

*2024-07-15, version 5.13.806*

Humidity and due point are on top of each other and can’t be read.

### 1/5 — Not so great update

*2024-02-25, version 5.13.805*

This used to be my go to app for local weather but the newest update, which was supposed to improve performance, has done just the opposite. The app is virtually useless now.

### 1/5 — No alerts...

*2020-03-28, version 4.10.2705*

Downloaded for the ability to receive alerts.  Still waiting.......  haven’t received one yet.

### 1/5 — It’s been wrong for the past two days....

*2019-01-31, version 4.7.800*

And that’s not the only time it’s been waaaayyyyy off! It’s way too frequent now. Sometimes the weather warnings don’t warn you! Are you serious?! 
I deleted this app, it’s absolutely worthless. 
Used to love this app....bummer.
UPDATE: I tried your app one more time, hoping that you fixed some things. And once again your weather warnings didn’t work! It snowed and I didn’t know it was going to until it was happening. I need the weather warnings to work!!! Sorry, but your app is worthless. I give up!

### 1/5 — Komu weather app is worthless

*2018-05-19, version 4.6.1400*

Horrible app that does not accurately describe the impending weather. 10% change of storms will show when it’s pouring down raining!! Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Was good until this update

*2017-12-17, version 4.5.1802*

Still waiting for an update to allow landscape mode on iPad. Why did you take it away? Also takes too long to load. I use the old version on my iPad for both reasoned above.

### 1/5 — Server Error

*2016-02-11, version 3.9.1301*

When I open the app all that is across the top is Server Error.  Can't tell if the app is really working properly or not.  The app started out as a pretty good app but has gone down hill over the last year.

### 1/5 — App not user friendly

*2013-02-26, version 1.0*

The app is not much good for people that live in the rural part of the state where wifi is not available. A waste of time downloading the app if I could give it zero stars I would

### 2/5 — Way too much advertising

*2023-03-31*

The app has way too much advertising. It is difficult to use because whenever you try to scroll you end up hitting an ad. This sends you off to your browser to the advertisers web site. Then you have to e reopen the ap, you’re back on the home page, and try again.

### 5/5 — Go-to app for Central Mo weather

*2018-09-26, version 4.7.400*

Radar improved with latest update, thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-05-01, version 4.6.1400*

I literally use this app for locations across the country. It’s really great to have a reliable Doppler radar anywhere I travel. I like the option to look at the weather by hour. Helped me make decisions many times. I like that you can check out layers, future cast and past. The video updates are nice too. Idk why anybody would dislike this app so much that they rate 1 star.....

### 5/5 — Great weather app!!

*2013-04-17, version 1.0*

Great weather app!! The map loads so much faster than Weather Channel. I also like how you can expand each day to see the weather on the extended 10 day forecast.

### 5/5 — Pretty good!

*2013-03-24, version 1.0*

Great app for the CoMo area but it's not showing up as an option in my notifications center....not sure how to turn on notifications.....

### 5/5 — Great local weather app!

*2013-03-06, version 1.0*

This app gives me the local radar and 10-day forecasts that the default iPhone Weather app doesn't. 

I love having the ability to see severe weather alerts and view the latest video forecasts from the KOMU Weathercasters. 

Great job! Love this app!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-02-26, version 1.0*

Seems flawless at the moment! I like that there are uptodate videos, and there easily accessible through the slide bar at the bottom. Kicks 
twc app in the arse in my opinion!

### 4/5 — Weather Advisories

*2025-02-18, version 5.17.509*

Please adjust your app so that it’s possible to toggle off the weather advisories on the radar map.  The Weather Advisories render the map unusable!!!

### 4/5 — Review

*2013-02-25, version 1.0*

NICE

### 3/5 — Time for an upgrade?

*2026-06-06, version 6.1.401*

App is usually my favorite for weather but the last few days it just crashes.  Looked for an update. Nothing.

### 3/5 — Radar downgrade

*2026-01-13, version 6.1.101*

This used to be the best weather app I could find. Now they’ve killed the option to see both past and future radar without starting it over in between. This makes it impossible to evaluate borderline scenarios as they change throughout the day. For such a simple function, it’s a shame they removed it and downgraded app functionality so much. Very disappointing to see something great become just ok.
