This version of the app crashes constantly

The worst forecasting

How this app has so many five stars is beyond me. Must be paid reviews because the KPRC weather guy, Anthony Yáñez, rarely gets the forecast right. As I sit here typing this, the app says 20% chance of rain all day yet it’s storming at my house. Last night, Yanez said the rain would be gone by 4 am yet here we are at 9:15 am with thunder and pouring rain. If I did my job as poorly as whoever does the forecasting for this app, I’d probably lose it. Do better, channel 2.

Widget stopped working

I added a widget to my iPad Home Screen for this app some time ago so I can see the hourly weather at all times. I quit working yesterday and the widget now only says I must agree to the Terms and Conditions before I can use the widget. I couldn’t figure how to actually agree so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I immediately saw the terms and conditions and clicked on Agree. It made no difference.

Horrible Now

Deleted! Re-uploaded after last deletion and staying away. Now way way too many ads and they take up the entire screen plus my virus protection often blocks and/or warns on these ad websites also some cause my camera to engage. Too bad - deleted forever now

Won’t even open on iPhone 16 with IOS 26

The app won’t even open. I have always had problems with it crashing, but after upgrade to IOS 26, the KPRC weather app won’t even open. It gets to the welcome screen and then disappears.

Annoying notifications from meteorologists

The app is great for providing alerts when weather changes in your area and gives you a quick access to the forecast. But every day you’ll get these alerts from the meteorologist. There isn’t a way to turn it off without turning off all alerts. Expect to get them as early as 7:00 am.

Icons

For the most part I like the app but the location icons on the radar map are way too big. And the location descriptor label is very annoying. It covers the area you are trying to see and takes several taps to get rid of. I would prefer it didn’t even appear.
I do like seeing the future cast radar.

Latest Update

Do not care for update….cannot type in location! Have to go to stupid map and find city on map by enlarging map….Useless and time consuming
Very confusing to use and will probably delete
Why did y’all ruin a good thing!!!!!!

Hurricanes

Terrible place to get real time info. Old app was much better and user friendly. Looking for a new app for hurricanes so I can stay better informed

Worst

This app used to be accurate but now is not even close. When you switch between cities it often shows weather for the wrong one. I know it’s not just me because it is the same problem on my spouse’s phone. Just stick with the app that came on your phone or WeatherBug.

Screen Orientation

App doesn’t detect my iPad’s landscape (widescreen) orientation and rotates to portrait (vertical) as soon as it opens. Displays everything sideways! Been a problem since the new version was released. Fix it!

Latest Update Fixed Radar Issue

*****Update*** 7/22/25 Latest update has fixed radar issue! Thank you KPRC 2 & developers for listening to your users! ******Update 6/22/25 update released 2 weeks ago ruined Radar feature of app. It lingers thru past & stops at NOW! So you now have no way to see where storm may be heading. This makes the app useless to me as I used it multiple times a day during stormy weather to determine if I needed to give my senior dog medication to help her with thunder anxiety. Developers PLEASE fix this issue ASAP. ****** Latest update has taken a great app & turned it into a cluttered mess. I can't imagine who signed off on this update. It is a downgrade of every feature. You have to click through layers of useless static to get to what you need. Previous app was GREAT! The developers of this app have let users down. All of the ads look like a shameless money grab & leave users in the lurch. I will be looking for a better user friendly app.

Don't waste your time!

Update: tried once more tonight during severe weather. Could not get past the repeated ads to look at the radar. Deleted it from my phone. Do not waste your time. It's a money grabber - not a lifesaver!
This was a strong app when Frank Billingsley was still there. Now it's awful and full of ads to get to anything important, like the radar. Not worth the wasted time when there are many better apps out there! Like TV news, this app is obsolete and irrelevant.

Complicated

I liked it before it was updated. It was easy to use. This latest version is a big mess. Can’t see the path of the hurricane because of the subtitles etc.

What a shame.

Bring back the old app. Worked good and was easy to use and understand. I see it is now retired so I downloaded the new one and will now delete it and find something else. This is hot garbage

Terrible App

Not happy

Why?

You took a great app and destroyed it. Used to be my go to hurricane tracker, now it is unusable. Filled with ads and watered down by combining countless other weather nonsense. If you’re looking for a good hurricane tracker, like this used to be, go somewhere else. This is no longer it. Very disappointed. You lost a longtime user and advocate. Don’t trust the 4.8 rating, that was the old version.

Radar

Don’t know what they did with their update but the Weather Radar used to be great but it is useless now.
It only shows about an hour or so before the current time and then stops at the current time and no longer shows storms conditions moving forward, as it used to show.
Get the Doppler Radar or Houston Weather 26 apps and the Radar will show storms conditions about 1-2 hours forward, so much better.
