Why are there ads with nudity on here??? My kids look at the app to check the weather. Will be deleting it. Such trash! ### 3/5 — Too slow! *2023-09-25, version 5.11.503* Takes forever update and other weather apps have already warned me of upcoming weather by time KTRE loads the radar. ### 3/5 — Weather App *2023-07-16, version 5.10.500* I really liked this iphone app until recently. The app only loads occasionally. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times which didn’t help. I sent a message and never got a response. My other apps work so I don’t think it’s my cell service or wifi. Any suggestions? ### 4/5 — KTRE WEATHER APP *2023-07-07* I have been using this app for years but in the last few months it hasn’t been working correctly. When I tap on the app on my iphone the content won’t load. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but that hasn’t help. I sent them an email a couple days ago and never got a response. I really like getting my local weather but more times than not the app isn’t working. Very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Not accurate *2023-06-20, version 5.10.400* Radar does not give accurate readings anymore ### 2/5 — Radar *2023-06-08, version 5.8.501* Since you recent update radar is jumping and locks up! Hopefully this will be corrected shortly! ### 3/5 — Alerts *2021-10-12, version 5.3.801* When I get a weather alert, there is NO sound except for the commercials.. ### 3/5 — KTRE weather App *2021-09-05, version 5.3.801* Too complicated,way over kill,to many options,used to be plain and simple not to say you cant ever get the weather right,youve about killed us this hay season.Only job I know where You can be wrong all the time and still have a job,terrible!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-02-10, version 5.1.605* This is the only weather app I use even though I do not live in East Texas I will be soon. Easy way to keep up with other cities also. ### 5/5 — App problems *2020-01-11, version 4.10.2100* App will not open for 5 days now ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2019-02-26, version 4.7.907* Too many ads covering content! ### 2/5 — Recent AD Addition *2015-10-13, version 3.9.800* This full screen advertisement at the beginning of the app is annoying, and delays the main opening; along with the ad at the top of the screen, it is irritating. For years, the app did not have this... --- BUMMER --- ### 4/5 — Newest update making way *2015-09-11, version 3.9.601* The most recent update has definitely made things a lot easier to see and use. Things don't blend in so badly. The only dislike is the side swipe feature of the categories. Just a simple pick and click works just as good. BUT overall, the app is looking a lot better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Predatory Ads *2026-06-23, version 6.2.512* I understand this is a free app, but it’s loaded with clickbait for senior citizens. I have spoken with KTRE and they said “show me”. I did and then they never replied. Obviously they don’t care that they’re part of the problem. ### 1/5 — ADS THAT TRICK ELDERLY *2026-05-15, version 6.1.601* This app is not only inaccurate and unreliable but also stacked with predatory ads targeting older people. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-03-17, version 6.1.601* The sheer amount of ads is making this thing unbearable to use. Especially since they are the AI generated bs ### 1/5 — Predatory Ads *2025-11-11, version 5.17.801* This app is not only inaccurate and unreliable but also stacked with predatory ads waiting to steal your data. Shameful. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2021-02-10* I’m only giving it a one start review simply because it kept asking me ### 1/5 — low temps wrong *2019-01-28, version 4.7.904* low temps in forecast are listed after the high temp for the day. low temps have already happened the day/night before. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2017-02-03, version 4.4.602* App hasn't worked right since this latest update!! ### 1/5 — Hate the update!!! *2015-06-15, version 3.7.600* Went from best app to worst app after the update. Simple to complicating. Want the old one back. ### 1/5 — Update Flop *2015-05-11, version 3.6.601* Do not like the new update. Too hard to navigate when you need quick access to the weather. ### 1/5 — Wish it could go back *2015-04-25, version 3.6.601* Interface went from excellent to cumbersome and difficult to navigate after the latest update. Don't like it at all. Difficult to use compared to how easy and quick it was to navigate on prior update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unreliable *2025-06-04, version 5.17.511* I don’t know what has happened to this app as it used to be very reliable for those of us in rural east texas. Nowadays the daily forecasts only play the ads and not the forecast! And it appears as no one is monitoring the information, radar doesn’t show current conditions according to the stats! C’mon, people rely on ya’ll !! ### 5/5 — Nuggets *2023-02-06, version 5.7.112* Smack ### 5/5 — Favorite Weather Channel *2023-01-19, version 5.7.112* The Best Weather Channel, in East Texas!! ### 5/5 — Appreciate what you do. *2022-04-06, version 5.4.933* I really like this app I can check the weather in the comfort of my home while we plan our camping trip or our fishing trip. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ### 5/5 — Dripping Faucets *2022-01-29, version 5.4.933* I have a well and knowing what the temperature is with a click is such a relief. Then I can use the motor only when needed. Thank you KTRE ### 5/5 — KTRE Weather App *2021-07-09, version 5.3.801* I use it every day so I can schedule my activities. ### 5/5 — KTREWEATHER *2021-02-13, version 5.1.605* I like to watch KTRE.
