### 5/5 — SNORKEY

*2025-11-22, version 5.17.706*

Very good

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-06-12, version 5.17.612*

Good

### 1/5 — Not accurate, not even true

*2025-06-03, version 5.17.612*

Radar is a complete fabrication

### 2/5 — Radar is wrong

*2025-05-17, version 5.17.612*

The radar shows a strong thunderstorm above my location and the sky is clear with no signs of rain or lightning.

### 4/5 — Radar Colors

*2024-07-23, version 5.15.406*

I love app but not sure if me or app but I prefer a gray background with green, yellow and red for rain. Any advice? Maybe it’s me or my phone but all I can see is yellow and darker yellow with this app but good on my other weather apps. Any advice/help?

### 1/5 — Deleted App Today

*2024-05-04, version 5.13.1000*

Had this app for years and it worked fine. In the last few months, this radar is whacked!! Last night, it said the storms were moving South, I thought that was strange, so I checked weather bug and the storms were actually moving NE!
Last night I called my Aunt in Ft Worth to check on her, as this app said huge red storms right on top of her. NOPE… The storms were nowhere near her, even though this radar clearly said they were right on top of her.
Earlier in the spring (2024) I closed my business down early because this radar said storms were heading straight for Abilene. The storms went North and missed Abilene completely. 
After last night, I’m done. I went and got weather bug and won’t be using this carp anymore because it’s giving out incorrect information.

### 5/5 — Best Weather App

*2023-11-24, version 5.11.502*

I have a number of weather apps, and this one has become my go to first!

### 5/5 — Great weather app

*2023-09-10, version 5.10.500*

I’ve used it for years and love the doppler features. Even when I travel I use the same app. It’s a great app.

### 5/5 — My go-to weather app

*2023-06-28, version 5.10.401*

We’ve been using KTXS Weather app for at least 10 years. It is my go-to weather app wherever we find ourselves. I no longer live in Texas but can attest it works fabulously in Washington state and Montana where we live now. Thank you so much.

### 4/5 — KTXS weather update

*2023-06-22, version 5.10.401*

I don’t like the new update to the KTXS weather app
