### 1/5 — Poor app

*2024-10-17, version 5.16*

The app does not even have spaghetti plots. It's almost like they are programming the apps no to inform us!

### 1/5 — Update is NOT near as good

*2024-07-07*

This was my only go to app for years until recently when they updated it. Now it is not user-friendly, not near as accurate, please go back to the other way it was! So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Un-User Friendly and KSAT Weather Authority App

*2024-07-07*

This app is full of bugs and so incredibly difficult to navigate. Sure wish you guys could’ve worked out all the bugs before releasing it. It is completely un-user friendly…as is your newly updated KSAT Weather Authority app.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old app. ! Horrible

*2024-07-06, version 5.13*

This is to busy , too many pop ups u can’t see the forecast

### 1/5 — New apps are horrible

*2024-07-05, version 5.13*

The KSAT new weather apps are horrible . Old one was much better

### 1/5 — 5 stars down to 1 star

*2024-07-04*

I have probably had this app for 10 years and would have given it 5 stars until this year they decided to change the map so it looks more like a globe.   It makes it more difficult to see Texas on the map which is really why I have the app.   I want to be able to assess the risk to my home on the Texas coast. If they will change back to the old map I would rate it 5 stars again.   I’m not sure why they changed a good thing.

### 1/5 — It’s ruined!

*2024-07-04, version 5.13*

I liked the app before you updated it. This is too complicated and CUMBERSOME! Put it back the way it was!

### 1/5 — Not too good

*2024-06-29, version 5.12*

Since you changed the format for KSATWeather, I don’t use it very much. It does not work with my iPad very well.

### 1/5 — Hurricane tracker

*2021-10-01, version 3.9*

You all unnecessarily put warnings on my phone when the hurricanes are not even going to strike the U.S.  Hurricane Victor  is so far away why track it.

### 1/5 — I Look at Radar and Rain Scares me......

*2020-09-09, version 3.6*

Look trump you need to help people you can’t just let people Die I’m never going to download this app

### 5/5 — Hurricane tracker

*2023-06-01*

Why have you changed satellite feature of your app? Older version allowed different ways/screens to see how & where storms were developing, which was great for those of us needing to evacuate. I no longer recommend this app to loved ones who live closer to areas, even in other countries affected by Atlantic storms. Old version also allowed me to keep up-to-date on those living in other parts of the world. I’m not sure I will keep your hurricane app as it is incomplete now.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2022-09-28*

Terrific program an app. I like to see what going on Tropical Storm and Hurricane.

Living in a hurricane prone area, it is critical to have accurate and dependable information when storms are forecasted in your area. This app has been n incredible source in helping us make decisions about protecting our family and home.

I teach 5th grade science and use this app to teach my students about weather and hurricanes. The coordinates are transferred directly to our hurricane tracking maps.
