### 5/5 — Buen Tiempo

*2026-03-12*

¡Hace buen tiempo aquí!

### 4/5 — Accurate

*2025-12-04*

More accurate than other apps, lately it keeps trying to show videos instead of just letting me see the forecast.  It’s snowing right now and doesn’t show it. Wish it would accurately tell me recent precipitation

### 2/5 — Sorry

*2025-09-03*

So sorry that we don’t have the same weather forecaster that we truly depend on.  Just reporting what you can read in any news isn’t the same as

### 1/5 — Temperatures never in line with the stations, actual weather forecast

*2024-08-06*

KSBY Weather is quite good. On it they are constantly recommending their app. However, the app has temperatures that are rarely in line with those given during the nightly forecast. Worse still, in the evening, in the evening the only weather forecast video available in the app is the one from the morning, which is, in effect, for the day that just passed and so is useless. I don’t know if it is the person maintaining the app or what it is, but this is definitely much worse than their broadcast weather.

### 1/5 — KSBY weather app

*2024-07-18*

Great without Scripps ad. I cannot click out of it which makes the app unusable!

### 1/5 — 👎🏼

*2024-03-06*

It was a great app until they started getting the advertisements to where you can’t get rid of them, so turns out typical amateur hour

### 1/5 — Slow

*2023-08-28*

Latest update is very slow on iPhone. Much faster on iPad.

### 3/5 — Radar

*2023-01-29*

Too many different colors I can’t seem to find the one and I don’t know why it’s probably a simple thing to touch and just see the rain and not clouds and fog and the other stuff all mixed together it looks like a big rainbow

### 5/5 — Up to o the minute

*2022-09-11*

Can Blount on KSBY to have very current weather reports  in real time.

### 5/5 — Just a little high!

*2022-03-18*

This is a beautiful weather application.  It covers all the info I want to see.  I check the  predicted morning low to protect my tomatoes during the frost season.  With all of Dave’s micro-climates I find we are several degrees below his prediction.  Dave’s weather report is #1 on my “just gotta see” list each night on KSBY news!  Thanks to all of you for all of your hard work, we appreciate it!  🤙😎
