### 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.

### 1/5 — What has happened to this app???

*2020-08-14*

I would normally give this app a five star rating but lately two out of three times that I open it to check the weather forecast I get an error message that says it doesn’t cover my area — but this is my local news station and weather forecast station so it doesn’t really make sense — hope they can fix it soon

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2019-11-20*

It was could but I removed it because now you can’t see the weather maps because of all the ads.

### 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

### 2/5 — Freezes all the time now

*2020-01-11*

My go to weather app doesn’t work at all anymore.  Is anybody listening?

### 2/5 — Buggy all of a sudden?

*2019-12-30*

Something with the last update made the app fail to load at times. It will hang on the splash page for minutes and never move to the main app. Or, it will get stuck with th default blue background and never load any data. It’s weird.

I’ll be happy to update my review once this is resolved. The app was wonderful before...

### 2/5 — Inconsistent with KSBY TV

*2019-11-09*

The forecast temperatures is inconsistent with the KSBY TV broadcast, so what value is this app?  Being inconsistent, there are several other weather apps that are better to use.

### 5/5 — Buen Tiempo

*2026-03-12*

¡Hace buen tiempo aquí!

### 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!  🤙😎

### 5/5 — Always accurate

*2021-12-30*

It’s always accurate I rely on it all the time . Thanks

### 5/5 — WEATHER!

*2021-11-03*

Keep up the great work, all of you been doing!

### 5/5 — Central coast

*2021-10-20*

Weather always wrong. Even daily.

### 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

### 4/5 — Freezes at Dave's photo

*2020-01-10*

In the last couple weeks (end of Dec), app fails to connect every day or two. Photo opens and then stalls. Have to delete and reload, sometimes twice a day. When it works, it's a great app with excellent info and maps, including a predictive map. Hope the bug gets fixed.

### 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
