### 2/5 — New update is a step back- not forward

*2025-08-25*

The old format was easier to navigate and the radar map brought instant live view of any weather in the area. I deleted the app & downloaded a different app.

### 2/5 — Too Busy

*2025-05-28*

Way too busy. Also get rid of future radar on the regular radar because it’s junk or at least give the option to get rid of like you used to have. Either way, hate the updates. Used to be so simple and useful, now its too busy so not as helpful.

### 2/5 — New update

*2025-01-20, version 6.9.0*

Not very useful.

### 2/5 — Extraño la versión anterior

*2025-01-16, version 6.9.0*

La versión anterior de esta aplicación era mucho más sencilla y fácil de usar. El nuevo diseño puede verse moderno, pero ha complicado funciones que antes eran intuitivas. Sería excelente que consideraran regresar a un diseño más simple o permitir opciones de personalización para mejorar la experiencia del usuario. Esta es una herramienta muy útil para la comunidad, pero los cambios recientes parecen haber generado descontento entre varios usuarios. Espero que puedan tomar en cuenta el feedback para futuras actualizaciones.

### 2/5 — Used to be my go-to app, update ruined it

*2025-01-10*

This used to be my go-to weather app. The new update is so user UNfriendly. I hate it. I clicked on the map, and it put me in Africa. I’m so disappointed. Bring back the old UI. Or make this one less… less something. Less clunky. Less ugly. Less difficult to navigate.

### 3/5 — Update Ruined It

*2025-01-10*

I loved the KRGV weather app! This update is horrible! Please bring back the old format. Sergio, help us out here!

### 3/5 — New update

*2025-01-08*

This new update isn't the way to go, it is harder to use also the radar doesn't work as well as it did. Please change it back 🙏

### 4/5 — Review

*2025-01-07*

Great app just don’t like the new update the new look it was easier and much better before I woke up and it was cold outside and now I can’t even understand the new update it was much easier before

### 3/5 — I missed the old app

*2025-01-05*

I feel the new update is a downgrade. Now it’s like every other weather app. Hopefully I get used to it, otherwise I will have to uninstall and just get the same features on the iPhone weather app.

### 3/5 — New Look

*2025-01-05*

I really, really liked the old format better. This one is not as easy to use, imo.

### 2/5 — App icon

*2022-03-28*

Don’t know who agreed to the new app icon colors but it’s horrible, very difficult to read and dark blue on black, seriously, did a committee vote on it or was it just published based on someone’s idea? I’d change it back or to something more appealing.

### 1/5 — Recently cant even access it

*2019-06-04*

I loved this app, but about a month ago   
( maybe longer) it started saying that the airplane mode was on or not connected to WiFi, neither which were the issue or true. I tried uninstalling and installing it worked ok for a few days and now I can’t access it again! Again with the network error message! 😳🥺🙄😕😩😣😤😤😤😤😤

### 4/5 — Good app

*2017-02-14, version 4.2.601*

Like everything:) it's simple and tells you everything you want to know

### 1/5 — Forced to update

*2026-01-13*

I was forced to update the app today and unfortunately the newer versions are completely useless.

### 1/5 — Update is Trash

*2025-05-02, version 6.9.1*

Loved the App before now it’s just a mess and data hungry.

### 1/5 — new update

*2025-04-05*

this new UI is an absolute mess and makes using this app super unpleasant. this used to be my go to app to check the weather, but now i actively avoid it

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2025-03-30*

The new update is terrible, the old was user friendly. This update to complicated to view the features. The old app  gave us the view where hail was going to hit as an example. New has all these colors and doesn’t give us what they mean. Everyone I have talked to hates it. Please change it back.

### 1/5 — Update was not the best choice

*2025-01-28*

The old version was so much more better and easier to understand and navigate. The radar was more easier to look at and pleasant looking compared to this new style. I’m all for change and improvements but this update feels like a step backwards. I hate to say it but I might have to go back to using TWC app instead.

### 1/5 — please go back to the old app

*2025-01-26*

I’m sorry but this update made the app 10x harder to navigate. the old one was perfect. I have to find a new weather app now.

### 1/5 — Don’t update

*2025-01-20*

After the update the local weather app just got difficult to navigate. Deleted and went back to yahoo weather.

### 1/5 — New update

*2025-01-18*

First off… this layout is just a mess and I don’t usually care about a new update if it’s a bad update it’s usually easy to get used to but… in this case it’s impossible I’ve gotten the hang of it but I’ve noticed the data is different or like pretty much you don’t get what you used to. For example, 12 hour or 8 hour I don’t know, radar data, you don’t get that same radar you used to anymore it’s all complicated and usually like an hour of forecasted weather it’s just a mess change it back

### 1/5 — Terrible new look

*2025-01-16*

Put the old format back this new one is horrible and hard to navigate

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-01-16, version 6.9.0*

New update is a big downgrade

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Most Accurate

*2024-06-13*

This app is one of my favorite, most dependable apps. The radar and information has proven time and again to be the most accurate weather app compared to other apps that my associates and family use. I highly recommend. You can save and toggle between multiple cities too, very helpful if you’re traveling or have family that lives elsewhere. Thank you for creating this wonderful product!

### 5/5 — Hurricane Tracker

*2022-08-20*

Hurricane tracker helps out that way I know where the it’s destination.

### 5/5 — My go to ex app while traveling

*2021-04-16*

I use this app as my default ex app. Easy to set up for multiple locations.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2020-05-24, version 5.0.401*

I like this app my dad works for the outlet

### 5/5 — Love the App

*2019-01-05*

Love the app. It has never lagged out any device, including my laptop/desktop. One doesn’t have to live in South Texas to utilize it. The satellite map is spot on, if ones location is on a green spot, one has rain. Some apps are off by so many miles, but not this app. The app also allows for notifications, hurricane tracking, earthquake locations and more.

### 5/5 — KRGV the news

*2016-01-10, version 2.7.2001*

Great job thanks for the updates keep it up

### 5/5 — KRGV5 The best

*2015-01-30, version 2.7.2001*

My name is Ret. SGT. Garcia Juan G in IRAQ       2005 I Am Disabled  but   KRGV-5 is the best ever I see 6AM 4PM 5PM & 6PM I turned 47 year's with the B 1/141 Inf. Victoria Tx I see TV keep pain out - to do Inf. Like the young one's not ease We went to San Antonio Tx. It's like the TV like what they told VA VET's

### 5/5 — :)

*2014-05-23, version 2.7.11*

I like it!!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2014-03-03, version 2.7.8*

Love this app and this news channel!!! Tim smith your the Mann!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Crazy Amazing!

*2013-07-16, version 2.5.1*

This is by far the best weather app I've ever seen. First of all, there's a map with a real-time weather radar. Not only that, you can pick from many (about 10) different types of radar like temperature, precipitation, road conditions, and wind. Second of all, the map isn't restricted to South Texas where the station is based. Third of all, it has accurate and detailed weather information for your current location like wind mph and the percent chance of precipitation. Overall, a great app that needs more downloads!
