I don’t have this problem on other TV stations websites. ### 3/5 — 1/8/2026 update *2026-01-08, version 6.1.302* Don’t like the new radar update, got to adjust view every time I use it to see stewartville, map should remember view preferences like the older version did ### 3/5 — Poor app - constantly freezes up *2025-07-29, version 5.17.706* Don’t recommend ### 2/5 — Great if it works *2024-02-15* Nice app when it works, their in lies the problem, it doesn’t work most of the time! The other apps on my phone work just fine. ### 2/5 — A crapshoot the last few months *2023-06-22* The only reliable part of this app is the radar map. I don’t care for the most recent update of it with the 24hr window because it’s yet to be correct. The predictions for rain and temperatures have been wildly inaccurate. If I had to pay for this app, I’d be demanding a refund. Will be looking into my AccuWeather app more closely for its features. Even if I have to pay, at least it’s more reliable for accuracy. ### 4/5 — Why can’t i send to some? *2023-03-18, version 5.7.302* We Why ### 3/5 — Okay app with the right platform *2022-11-29, version 5.6.508* I’ve had good results on Android and my iPhone, however, on my iPad, no good. Just opens up and that is all. No forecast, no radar, nothing just starts up. IOS 16.1.1 with iPad gen 9 ### 2/5 — Teacher *2022-07-18, version 5.4.943* I would like to see the speed of the download of information on the map for example increase. I have another weather app what load about twice as fast. ### 3/5 — Offensive adds *2022-05-11, version 5.4.943* I like the app. Very helpful as others have reviewed and I know it is supported by advertising. However lately it has been full of gambling adds. More specifically gambling apps to download. I would not want kids using this who May click on these adds and risk downloading something inappropriate. ### 2/5 — Weather map *2021-12-19, version 5.4.942* Can’t figure out what the colors mean on the maps. There is no guide to look at. It looks nice but what the heck am I looking at? ### 3/5 — No radar in bad weather *2021-08-07, version 5.3.901* So this app works wonderfully...until there is a local weather event. Radar works tracking approaching storm but when it arrives, radar is a blank map. Don’t know if it’s heavy traffic or some other reason but it is very predictable. iPhone 10, LTE and all the bars, so that’s not my problem. 🤦‍♀️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You have to watch ads just to get the weather now *2026-03-04, version 6.1.302* They was pretty great up until you now. Have to watch an ad before you can get your weather update do better. KTTC. ### 1/5 — KTTC *2024-12-30, version 5.17.509* I live near Rochester and depend on KTTC Weather for local information. This app continually locks up after downloading on Apple iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.1.1. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2024-06-03, version 5.14.703* Radars look completely different between my phone and my dads phone. Not very reliable. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-05-02* Works great when you don’t need it. When you do need it you might as well look elsewhere because it probably won’t work. ### 1/5 — refuses to open when running iPadOS 17 *2023-10-17, version 5.11.501* Updated iPad to iPadOS 17 and app quit working. Never gets past opening static screen. Deleted and reinstalled. Still refuses to open. My goto weather app. Was a solid 4+ until this happened. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work With iPad OS 17 *2023-09-26, version 5.11.501* Needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-09-26, version 5.11.501* Sometimes work on my iPhone with iOS 17, very inconsistent, never works now on my iPad with iOS 17. Reinstalling is did nothing. ### 1/5 — A crapshoot the last few months *2023-07-19, version 5.10.500* *Edit 20July2023: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THIBG HOLY, WHY AM I RECEIVING WARNINGS FOR OTHER AREAS THAN MY OWN?! I am so over this app. The only reliable part of this app is the radar map. I don’t care for the most recent update of it with the 24hr window because it’s yet to be correct. The predictions for rain and temperatures have been wildly inaccurate. If I had to pay for this app, I’d be demanding a refund. Will be looking into my AccuWeather app more closely for its features. Even if I have to pay, at least it’s more reliable for accuracy. ### 1/5 — Too many videos *2021-12-22, version 5.4.942* cut the videos. When severe weather is happening I just want to read the weather statement. Having videos (and so many!) made it harder to quickly find the most recent update ### 1/5 — Alerts are 5 minutes late! *2017-05-16, version 4.4.801* I always get alerts 5 minutes after the alert occurred! Worst weather app ever! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — KTTC weather forecast app *2025-06-10, version 5.17.509* Love e the app thanks for me and everyone else safe!!!🙂💛I am going fling too. ### 5/5 — It is very helpful *2024-07-18, version 5.15.402* It is very helpful because it tells me notifications about whether and other things like that tells me very helpful and important things to ### 5/5 — T *2024-07-15, version 5.15.402* Nice andgood ### 5/5 — Vera *2024-06-25, version 5.15.402* Tanks ### 5/5 — Great *2024-03-24, version 5.12.707* Couldn’t get along without it. Great app. ### 5/5 — Best *2023-09-27, version 5.11.501* Best weather app around you can always count on Nick to find you to let you know there is updated information. He forgot us on a cruise to Halifax Canada. ### 5/5 — New version does not work on iPad *2022-11-07, version 5.6.508* The new version of the app works on my iPhone 13 Pro, but does not work on my iPad (also an iPad Pro). I have tried multiple times and it does not open. This had been my go to app for local weather but….. I sent a note to KTTC but received no response. Disappointing. ### 5/5 — So in depth *2022-06-12, version 5.4.943* Love this app—the radar is hands down the best. Would really love to have it include Pollen data and forecast. ### 5/5 — Local Weather *2022-03-31, version 5.4.943* Local weather that focuses on our area with no commercials. A must for city and rural JMc ### 5/5 — KTTC weather. *2020-12-29, version 5.1.403* I have been using this app for several years. It’s my go to for instant updates , info on road conditions and weather warnings. Wouldn’t be without it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
