### 2/5 — Weather people not accurate

*2026-08-14, version 6.2.604*

0% precipitation means 100% chance nowadays

### 1/5 — Worst weather station ever

*2026-07-17, version 6.2.512*

You guys need to find a new job. There are so many farmers and citizens around here that work outside and depending on the weather and y’all let them down every day. Lexi Walker might’ve screwed most the employees at channel 7, but at least she got the weather right. Now we have the Three Stooges that are the biggest morons ever.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-04-14, version 6.1.601*

Watch News 9

### 1/5 — Absolute Incompetence

*2026-04-04, version 6.1.601*

I have no idea how anyone would possibly be able to contact someone at 7 weather concerning the application severely malfunctioning.  There are multiple warnings, and I CANNOT WATCH ANY VIDEOS ON THE APP!!! IT PLAYS ADS BACK TO BACK TO BACK!!!! This is unacceptable.  How am I supposed to know what is going on? Much less who or how to contact someone to get this issue corrected.  The fact that I had to investigate how to contact someone at KSWO due to the app HAVING ZERO ‘HELP’ OR ‘CONTACT US’ links!  It needs to be fixed in a timely manner.  Most people only have the app, so this kind of glitch is dangerous considering the type of weather conditions that are occurring.  The app design is incredibly incompetent when one takes into consideration that there’s no way to contact anyone for assistance when something like this happens.  This is serious.  The fact that I have to jump through hoops for help is beyond unacceptable.  Every single time I try to watch a video notification link, labeled ‘tornado warning’ but instead get back to back ads is absolutely insane.

### 1/5 — useless without wifi

*2026-01-23, version 6.1.302*

won't work on 5g

### 3/5 — Radar

*2025-12-30, version 5.17.801*

I have a real issue with the radar. When there is a big storm coming, the radar for whatever reason does not show it. I have to go to a different app in order to see where the storm is in relation to me. I don’t understand what the different colors are for nor do I care. I just want to see the storm, but I am unable to.

### 1/5 — Small town stupid

*2025-05-03, version 5.17.511*

Tornado warning and sighting heading towards Frederick Oklahoma. 
KSWO’s “ weather men concerned more about a possible storm/ tornado in Texas. Stupid and amateur to say the least. But what do you expect from a station that doesn’t return calls and is woke?
Only thing worse we’re the two stations in Witchita Falls.

### 1/5 — Tornado Coming Don’t rely on this app for a quick update

*2025-01-10, version 5.17.509*

Multiple times last year my home was in the path of tornados and when the power was out and we were locked down in the cellar with just our phones KSWO was not quick responsive or reliable during an event like this or an emergency what’s more important to kswo keeping its people of southwest Oklahoma safe and aware of life threatening situations and conditions or it’s advertisers , to be in line of a tornado multiple times and sitting for 2 - 4 minutes due to advertisements before getting to the live feed wow that’s a lot of time that maybe I didn’t know there was a tornado maybe my power went out before the alert even dropped what benefit did I get out of this app and how quickly could a person loose their life, Everyone knows when a tornado is present every second is crucial to get to safety but don’t rely on kswo for live streaming in the event of a life threatening situation, Just loaded with advertisements that’s what’s most important here not your life or your home- when I say loaded get ready for everything to be advertisements every video every weather update every severe event everything

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-11-04, version 5.16.1703*

Enjoy using my apps it is outstanding

### 3/5 — Videos and reporting

*2024-05-26, version 5.13.1000*

It seems that the videos on here lack important information containing to the weather and news until after the storm arrives. I think for the major news and weather network in the community so much could be improved for Lawton. 
Point blank it just sounds like a bunch of rambling nonsense with a tid bit of somewhat important information. 
Where are the reporters where is the news on Lawton community events cross me traffic business. Military news. Business events. Community leader interviews. Fire and police interviews,  community health interviews updates and status. 
Where is the reporting on community outreach and special events. Traffic reports, school events. 
I really think KSWO COULD DO A LOT MORE… and do it much better than they currently do.
THAT SMALL TOWN NEWS AGENCY THING JUST ISNT WORKING ANY MORE!! Lawton has GROWN… so should it’s news agency!!
