### 3/5 — Black font on dark background

*2025-08-07, version 5.17.706*

Love the app. One problem, the daily low temp is black on a dark background which is hard to see.

### 4/5 — Backgrounds and Font Color Need Attention

*2025-01-28, version 5.17.508*

I’ve enjoyed the app for years, but with this latest font change on the Daily screen is hard to read. Maybe I’m just getting old.

### 3/5 — New Colors Make Low Temps Unreadable

*2024-12-11, version 5.16.1703*

Cannot see black characters used for the forecasted low temp  against dark blue background.

### 4/5 — My preferred app for weather

*2024-12-01, version 5.16.1703*

I prefer this app for weather over others because it gives me the most information and the best radar. But after the last update, it is nearly impossible to read the low temperatures in the daily section because the temps are in black on a very dark background.  Should’ve been obvious to the app developer.

### 3/5 — Black font on dark background

*2024-11-20*

Love the app. One problem, the daily low temp is black on a dark background which is hard to see.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2024-11-14, version 5.16.1703*

They need to fix the Dailey area- the colors of the fonts for the temps blend into the background.. it’s often not accurate, but at lease it’s good for being weather aware on high danger weather days

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-10-16, version 5.16.1703*

Daily low temperature is hard to read. Black numbers and a dark wallpaper.

### 3/5 — Good app!

*2024-10-08, version 5.16.1703*

accurate. The only issue I have is I’m unable to see what the low temperatures are gonna be due to the dark background on the app and the low temps are written in black. If the devs could lighten up the background or make the low temps in a readable color on the 10 day forecast, that would be great.

### 3/5 — New Colors Make Low Temps Unreadable

*2024-09-09*

Cannot see black characters used for the forecasted low temp  against dark blue background.

### 4/5 — Great app unless a storm is coming

*2024-03-14, version 5.12.702*

Why does this app always fails to load during the times we need it, aka when severe storms are coming?

### 3/5 — Cannot Trust

*2024-01-14, version 5.12.702*

The app’s owner moved all its news to OKC, and I don’t feel they have my towns best weather interest on their minds. You could have the best app out there but if it can’t help you in a pinch it is worthless.

### 2/5 — Map flickers 90% of the time

*2023-10-04, version 5.11.502*

The is my go-to app for weather but recently the map just flickers. Please send out an update soon!

### 4/5 — Need some new features added

*2023-06-02*

We need the app to tell us when rain is in our area and when lightning is in our area. These seem like a fairly easy fix for your app to have.

### 2/5 — Used to be much better

*2023-05-12, version 5.8.410*

The updates the last couple of months have made this app much worse. 6 months ago it was probably the best weather app I had. Now it just  fritzes! Wish they go back a few updates!

### 1/5 — What the Rip Van Winkle! Something is wrong

*2026-04-28, version 6.1.601*

Today is 4/28 yet it’s shows today’s weather is 4/30.  Um.. I don’t thin so.  Rip Van Winkle glitch!

### 1/5 — Update sucks

*2026-04-02, version 6.1.601*

This used to be a good app but the last update ruined it. The earthquake sizes are all huge in comparison to the actual earthquake. They changed the look and it’s just not good anymore. You cannot track tornado warnings or active tornado like before. Please make it the way it used to be.

### 1/5 — Update sucks

*2026-03-10, version 6.1.601*

This used to be a good app but the last update ruined it. The earthquake sizes are all huge in comparison to the actual earthquake. They changed the look and it’s just not good anymore

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-05-01, version 5.13.1000*

It doesn’t open when I need it.

### 1/5 — Irritating

*2023-08-12, version 5.10.501*

This app used to be good now it will show is the heat index in pink and whatever the orange covering is. I need to see the storms and rain map please!! I keep waiting for a upgrade change.

### 1/5 — App use to be great-now it does work properly with last update

*2023-07-09, version 5.10.500*

This app was my go to when it comes to checking out the weather.  But with the most recent update, the radar doesn’t work properly.  It won’t show where the storm is or the direction of the storm.   
I wish they would stop mess with the app, and take to back to the previous version!!!’

Until they fix it, which will take a while, I will have to find another weather/news app!!

### 1/5 — Map

*2022-03-21, version 5.4.945*

When ever I need to look at the weather, the map doesn’t work. If it’s sunny and calm it works all day. But if there is a storm in the area it won’t work.

### 1/5 — Freezes upon opening

*2020-01-15, version 4.10.2100*

Freezes up when opening all the time and never make it to the weather. Deleted it

### 1/5 — Location identification

*2020-01-09, version 4.10.2100*

I live west of Tulsa. When this comes up finally it marks Tulsa not where I live it needs to follow my phone like all of the rest I’m getting where I don’t use it like I used to.                                                                                   This whole app needs to be trashed then revamped

### 1/5 — Twag

*2019-06-16, version 4.8.701*

I do not like the new update and I’m deleting the app bc the radar needs to go back to like it was

It’s very easy to get around and I like being able to see a see first alert’s

*2022-05-08, version 5.4.945*

I love this app with the hourly, daily, and interactive Map of current weather going on in my area plus being able to see weather coming my way and the voice notification of thunderstorms and tornadoes in our area a great asset to have on my phone !

### 5/5 — Channel 8 ex

*2022-02-04, version 5.4.945*

We enjoy the accuracy of the temperature and the map. What a map. I can dial up Stafford Virginia for my daughter or Westminister Maryland for my son. There weather is just that close.

### 5/5 — Weather app

*2022-02-04, version 5.4.945*

Channel 8’s weather app is the easiest to use and navigate through of any of the local weather apps. Thanks channel 8 jim the legend

### 5/5 — 8 Weather

*2022-01-25, version 5.4.945*

8 is the Place for Weather.  Dan and his team are the best in Tulsa.

### 5/5 — This is a must app no matter where you live in the US

*2019-12-29, version 4.10.2001*

I Use it and I especially have all my family use it!  It is the best Watch/Warning app there is!  It will only alert you if you are in danger! Alerts you only if you are in the Polygon warning area! Most apps do it by county, so if you are asleep and there is something completely away from you in the other side of the county it won’t wake you up!  You will be alerted Only if you are in the warned area!
