### 1/5 — Weather alerts not working

*2025-03-20, version 5.17.507*

Every time I receive a weather alert, I tap it and a blank screen appears. There is a "play" arrow in the bottom left of this blank screen: press it and nothing happens.

### 3/5 — 24 hour future cast

*2024-11-14, version 5.17.502*

The 24 hour radar will not go past 12 hours. A fix would be great.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2024-01-17, version 5.12.702*

I really like the app

### 1/5 — Does not work correctly

*2023-06-27, version 5.10.401*

The app will not work correctly. It will not follow your position, it will just default to the center of the map instead of your location and that is with everything turned on for your location…. Sad…

### 5/5 — Planner

*2023-01-12, version 5.7.203*

The KRCR Weather APP has helped us plan our days during the recent storms.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2022-08-04, version 5.6.505*

Up until I updated 5 days ago I used this every day.  Now I see the start up screen and then it goes into the background and I can’t get it to work.

### 2/5 — It’s not accurate

*2021-01-15, version 5.0.1002*

Example: Today at 10am it’s 39 degrees but your app says it’s 55 degrees. It should be more accurate than that!

### 1/5 — The app is broken

*2020-08-04, version 5.0.401*

What happened to the app? I live in Cottonwood and this morning it says it’s not available in this area.

### 4/5 — Too many banners

*2020-05-19, version 4.10.2703*

Really enjoy the app and
It’s features. Fairly accurate and the hi def radar great to view. 
Thunderstorms overhead and want to get to that great hi def radar but with one ad banner, one home banner, and a persistent alert banner, the full screen button is covered. 
At least remove the alert banner after viewing please

### 5/5 — What’s up?

*2020-01-02, version 4.10.2002*

I’ve loved this app for years, but the last few weeks it’s frozen up like 70% of the time. I’ve tried reinstalling and turning the phn on and off. So frustrating!  I want my working App back!
