### 3/5 — How do I delete

*2024-01-22, version 5.12.700*

I can’t find a way to delete a location. When I travel out of town I add a city but would like to delete now. How do I do that? There is nothing in settings

### 3/5 — It’s OK

*2023-01-07, version 5.7.203*

It would be nice to let the user set up display of alerts. List them yes - let users choose to display them on the map.

### 3/5 — Live Radar Moves Too Fast

*2020-05-18, version 5.0.301*

I like this app but the newly released version has the radar map moving too fast to get any real data except what you can infer from a glance (which makes it fairly useless.) The typeface is far too small (4 pt. typeface and less) when viewed on my iPhone X.  The app is very cluttered and the typeface needs to be larger all around. 

I’ve switched to WeatherBug where the radar is easily readable, has a perfect pace and is ultimately helpful in planning your day around the rain. 

There is no HELP menu to report an issue within the app, but you’re in luck if you want to report “abuse”.  What?

### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2020-01-23, version 4.10.2004*

Love the content but the app keeps freezing up. There is some type of bug that needs to be addressed.

### 2/5 — Good when it works

*2019-06-11, version 4.7.1005*

But fails intermittently. I get the logo screen but nothing happens.

### 2/5 — Too many adds

*2019-05-06, version 4.7.1005*

I like the app. Hate the adds that pop up.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2019-03-21, version 4.7.905*

This was really good but the constant freezes send me to Windy.

### 2/5 — Freezes and commercials take too much space

*2019-03-09, version 4.7.905*

Worked a few times. Cannot get clouds and rain.
Commercials are over abundant. Control buttons work intermittently.

### 2/5 — Latest Version

*2019-02-20, version 4.7.905*

Seems buggy. Freezes intermittently.

### 2/5 — Ads Ruined It

*2018-05-29, version 4.6.1603*

They have ads at the top which cut off the bottom so you can’t see the weather for the next few days at a glance. Useless

### 4/5 — Great app, but doesn’t switch orientation properly on iPad

*2018-04-27, version 4.6.1500*

Thanks KTVU for the only app that has radar images! During winter it is the best. My only complaint is that when I open the app in landscape mode the app stays in portrait mode. I have to rotate the iPad and then sometimes it doesn’t rotate.

### 2/5 — Video forecasts are 2-3 days behind

*2016-05-07, version 4.2.603*

You wanna check the weather for weekend? Forgot it. They don't update video forecast for Saturday or Sunday. Whatever they predict on Thursday that's it. No update if condition change. Their Weekend TV forecast is not the same you watch here.

### 1/5 — Keeps Freezing & Crashing

*2015-02-21, version 3.6.101*

Since I updated the app keeps freezing and crashing...please fix!

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2015-02-21, version 3.6.101*

What happened to the old app. I will be deleting after this post. What a mess, new is not always better!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work causes phone freeze

*2014-12-07, version 3.0.1*

Tried it. Failed. Disappointed. Gives same info as the apple weather app but offers radar and video (ostensibly from weather report on ch 2).  It's cloudy and the actual  nexrad radar site shows activity all over the Bay Area, but this app's radar page showed nothing. Then I tried the video option and when I clicked on it to play the news clip it froze my iPhone. Tried it several 
times,  froze it every time. I did let the app know where I am, but refused to let it "always know where I am even when the app isn't running," and perhaps that's the rub? But if that's the case, who needs it.

### 1/5 — This update is for the birds

*2014-07-31, version 3.0*

I spend a lot of time between the SF Bay Area and Fort Bragg, CA. This app stinks. When I check on Fort Bragg current temperature it says 100 degrees and the forecast high for today is 65 degrees. I'll continue to look for a weather app that works.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2014-06-19, version 2.7.0*

I thought that I had finally found a weather app which would supply accurate forecast and current condition temperatures. But, that has not been the case. There have been discrepancies of as much as 20 degrees between the forecast temperature and the actual temperature. Why the hell does it seem to be so difficult to build an accurate weather application for phones?

### 1/5 — Download

*2025-12-07, version 5.17.705*

There is no way to uninstall this app once you download.  You simply can shut off notifications.  App still remains on phone.  Weather in my area is less that 50% accurate

### 1/5 — Just an ad delivery service

*2025-05-09, version 5.17.508*

This is just an ad delivery service.  I’ve only been using this for about 5 minutes and I can hardly find anything because a full screen ad pops up and takes over the app.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-05-03, version 5.8.411*

The 411 update today broke it. Will try to uninstall and start over.

### 1/5 — What weather

*2020-01-17, version 4.10.2004*

Please fix your app ☹️it quit working

### 1/5 — Help

*2020-01-12, version 4.10.2004*

Not very user friendly. I need instructions on how to set up and use. Just blank pages??

### 1/5 — Stopped working 1/3/20

*2020-01-08, version 4.10.2004*

App won’t initialize unless I restart the phone. This started after last is update and 1/3 app update

### 1/5 — Ads cover controls

*2019-02-26, version 4.7.905*

Way too many ads to the point where the ads cover the controls. You get full screen ads instead of weather info. Not a good substitute for the built in weather app.

### 1/5 — Location doesn’t work at all, even after authorization

*2019-02-14, version 4.7.905*

Here in the Bay Area that’s pretty important.

### 1/5 — Loved the previous Version

*2019-02-10, version 4.7.905*

Well I feel this new version looks great but the app is barely use able.  I keep receiving an error message “Failed to connect.  Please check that airplane mode is off or that Wifi is connected.”

The app loads extremely slowly and I can't receive most hourly updates.

### 1/5 — Bring back the previous version

*2015-02-26, version 3.6.101*

I can't even get it to open on my phone. I get the logo and it immediately goes back to my home screen. Ready to just delete it.

### 5/5 — Great local app

*2014-05-04, version 2.7.0*

This is now my favorite weather app. I would say a more reliable and detailed local weather forecast. By the way, you can add different locations. I wish people would explore the app before posting a bad review.

### 5/5 — Cool weather app

*2014-03-27, version 2.7.0*

Great stuff. To the person who said that not everyone lives in san francisco, um...here's a thought: change your location.

### 5/5 — SF weather geeks rejoice

*2014-03-04, version 2.7.0*

Feature rich weather app for the San Francisco Bay Area from the City to Sonoma Valley. All for a goose egg. Well done, KTVU.

### 5/5 — Nice app, KTVU!

*2014-02-08, version 2.7.0*

Well done!

### 5/5 — Wow. I'm impressed.

*2014-02-03, version 2.7.0*

Can get live radar and pinpoint neighborhood microclimates.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-01-06, version 2.7.0*

I love weather and climate

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2014-01-05, version 2.7.0*

Awesome app on the go!!

### 4/5 — Needs to persist report of today’s high

*2024-09-30, version 5.15.402*

Nice app. What id like to see most is the persistent reporting of today’s high temp throughout late evening. In this way, we can more easily compare today’s high with the forecast highs of the next several days.

Presently, todays high temp seems to disappear from the screen sometime in the morning.

### 4/5 — I love this app BUT

*2021-09-11, version 5.3.907*

Haven’t been able to find out how to update. Tried searching for info but no help. Have iPhone 6s. If I can’t get the update, how do I make the update banner go away?

### 4/5 — Good App

*2019-05-28, version 4.7.1005*

This is my go-to weather app. It has a good interface, is easy to use, and is pretty accurate.   Two changes I would like to see: 
   The ability to alphabetize my locations and
   A weather update each morning. I always check before bedtime and again in AM. They are always the same even though there is a change that occurs at night. Seems like the app only updates once every 24 hours 
Thank you for this good app
