Looks like the number one task is sales rather than info ### 3/5 — Stopped using *2026-05-25, version 6.1.601* Ever since they got rid of past, now and future radar. Crucial for driving. Check out AccuWeather, they still have ### 3/5 — Videos don’t play *2026-05-16, version 6.1.601* As of early May 2026, the videos won’t play in the app. The ads run, then it goes dark. Please fix this bug. ### 2/5 — Please go back to the original app *2026-03-11, version 6.1.601* I like the original app. The new arrangement is confusing and difficult to work with. ### 2/5 — Clunky *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* People learn how to use your clunky app with a terrible video player and now you’ve changed it, which you call an update, and now it’s less intuitive ### 3/5 — New app versus old app *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* User-friendly~ I enjoyed the old app because it allows you to see the direction of the storm gave you indicators like how far away and the strength of the storm and he was able to determine if it was going to impact you and win I don’t see that as easy to discern when using the new app is not as user-friendly and clear, but I do like that it gives you more information, but I just wish that it had incorporated instead of removing the old functionality ### 4/5 — Pollen *2026-02-09, version 6.1.401* I want to easily get to pollen count ### 5/5 — New App’s Great! *2026-02-05, version 6.1.401* Finally uninstalled the old KXAN weather app and installed the new one! What a difference! This one is filled with useful weather info. Thanks for all the effort you put into this. ### 5/5 — Best Weather *2026-02-03, version 6.1.401* I truly believe KXAN’s weather forecasts are the best in all of Texas. The weather models are always spot on and their weather”men” are the most professional in the business! ### 5/5 — KXAN Weather keeps me up-to-date *2026-02-03, version 6.1.401* I love how accurate KXAN Weather is and how easy their app is to use. I live in the small town of Bertram the KXAN weather app lets me see our by hour weather conditions in my small town. I really appreciate how personalized the weather information can be for my area. It has saved me from broken pipes to hail warnings flood warnings, all kinds of natural disasters. ### 2/5 — Fix your app *2026-01-30, version 6.1.401* But I have other alternatives in a true weather emergency, as your app spits in the face of those that have visual impairments. Wrong on every level! ### 2/5 — Love the app as far as accuracy *2026-01-25, version 6.1.301* Hate the ads and widgets need improvement. Very slow to open as well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I don’t like this app *2026-07-28, version 6.2.512* Love that it’s local and accurate but the interface is terrible. Now you have pop up adds. ### 1/5 — Hard to access *2026-07-16, version 6.2.512* Not user friendly ### 1/5 — Can’t watch videos bc of Ads *2026-05-20, version 6.1.601* Can’t watch a single video without being interrupted by an ad after literally 2 seconds of the video. The video just stops and if you try to play it again or ffwd, you get ads. You can’t even get back to the video you were trying to watch. ### 1/5 — Radar *2026-04-30, version 6.1.601* Radar moves way too fast. Hit pause; time line disappears. Too much white & distracting clutter in way. More radar space & less garbage. Some of us like to predict & be more accurate than forecasters. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-29, version 6.1.601* We should not have to listen to ads when we get on a KXAN Weather app. It’s really annoying. ### 1/5 — It Was Better in the Past *2026-03-07, version 6.1.601* The app is too busy and I don’t know why I need 2 ads of the same business in one small app. The whole page is too busy. Yes, someone is sponsoring this app but I would ask the developer whether this app is about delivering ads or providing a service regarding local weather? Also how fast do you need to run the radar? If we blink, the scroll is at the end and I can’t even tell what the timing is of the radar. We need the previous developers back as this app is a big MISS! AND, it use to be my favorite app for weather. ### 1/5 — Clunky and too many adds *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* Way too clunky ### 1/5 — WAP *2026-03-04, version 6.1.401* The updated app is not user friendly. A little confusing. Loved the old format better. ### 1/5 — Incorrect temps *2026-01-24, version 6.1.301* During the freeze it constantly showed temps around 38 or higher while the current temp is showed closer to 31 for hours. Their forecasted temps in the app made it look like it wouldn’t freeze despite ongoing conditions they were reporting in contrast. Every other app showed temps around 31 on the hourly except KXAN. ### 1/5 — Cluttered *2026-01-20, version 6.1.301* What happened to the clean view the weather app used to have. It is now so cluttered with ads it’s hard to read all the weather info. It makes me not want to use the app any more. Bring back the old format. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great heads up on weather *2026-07-13, version 6.2.512* I appreciate the notification of weather coming my way so I can make plans accordingly. Thanks ### 5/5 — Radar *2026-06-06, version 6.2.512* The radar motion is to quick. Would like a way to slow the motion down. Otherwise no problem. ### 5/5 — Mike Hubbard Sr *2026-04-21, version 6.1.601* Very thorough thank you ### 5/5 — Excelente Weather App *2026-04-21, version 6.1.601* I am very pleased with this app. However, the one feature I wish would be added is switching between landscape and portrait with changing positions of the device. ### 5/5 — KXAN life! *2026-04-10, version 6.1.601* Landscaper givin my 2cents Thank Your app and team keep me prepared for Texas madness ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-04-08, version 6.1.601* Always gives accurate information ### 5/5 — Family involvement *2026-03-26, version 6.1.601* It takes a village and that’s what we feel when we watch KXAN weather and having the app keeps us weather aware. Thank you KXAN weather team for being an extension of our family. ### 5/5 — Radar *2026-03-11, version 6.1.601* Love this app ### 5/5 — Storm direction *2026-03-07, version 6.1.601* What happened to it. ### 5/5 — Local *2026-02-06, version 6.1.401* I live how the weather can be checked locally as well as regionally. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
