### 1/5 — Radar sucks with new update

*2026-01-29, version 6.1.302*

I can no longer see the radar to present/future. I don’t have that capability anymore.  I am now deleting this app because it is no longer usable to me

### 5/5 — Great weathermen!!

*2025-11-01, version 5.17.801*

KPLC has the best weathermen!! Trust them every time!!!

### 5/5 — Back patting

*2025-10-04, version 5.17.706*

The best

### 1/5 — Radar is never accurate

*2025-09-04, version 5.17.706*

Every time I pull up the radar for weather, it will not show any rain on top of my area, but it will be pouring. Sometimes it only shows a lightning bolt and will be pouring. When it does show rain over my area, it’s clear. I know you can do better than this when other radars show it correctly. Also, when you put it in motion, it will only show it moving for a few hours and then freezes while the bar at the bottom is still moving.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2025-05-27, version 5.17.614*

Not what I’m expecting. It’s an alert system which I take as a slight warning type system but I keep getting notifications such as clear weather coming and things not concerning bad weather that needs a warning or alert. Sometimes it’s in the middle of the night. Maybe spam has hacked your system so if y’all don’t do that please let us know

### 5/5 — We luv LA

### 5/5 — KPLC ALWAYS
