### 3/5 — Fair

*2025-06-19, version 5.17.614*

Too many ads and radar. Is not the best. Freezes a lot.

### 3/5 — Screen freezes

*2025-03-07, version 5.17.601*

Not happy with this app for the past few weeks.  Screen has been freezing ever since the Langford Roofing was placed on the Home Screen.  I have to totally shut down my phone & restart to get my other apps  & view email, etc.   Please Fix ASAP!!!!

### 1/5 — Offensive Ads

*2025-03-05, version 5.17.601*

I just deleted this app because of what I considered as offensive ads about on- line dating, etc.

### 3/5 — Adding unwanted towns.

*2024-11-03, version 5.16.1703*

This app is always adding in towns I do not need and honestly makes it confusing during server weather. Always sending me tornado warnings when it isn’t supposed to. I delete the other towns but then it adds them back in on its own right after.

### 1/5 — Only job you can be wrong 100% of the time and keep it

*2024-08-27, version 5.15.409*

I don’t know how these people even look themselves in the mirror anymore, must be democrats!!!

### 4/5 — App review

*2024-05-17, version 5.12.701*

Would be nice to get the Facebook live notifications for severe weather on the app. I also don’t like the commercial before my severe weather alerts. Otherwise it is a great app to keep up with events when you can’t watch the news.

### 2/5 — Weather channel is better

*2024-05-11*

All kinds of phone alerts, open app and all you get most of the time is a radar map. Period. 

Used to have meteorologists in events of severe weather, no more. Noo there are no meteorologists explaining anything, just a map only if it’s outside of Monday - Friday 8a-6p. Very sad. Had more live coverage when the area populations was half of what it is now

### 4/5 — Fishing report is difficult to find

*2023-11-18, version 5.12.701*

Where is fishing report located?

### 2/5 — Review

*2023-08-27, version 5.10.500*

Too many ads.

### 1/5 — Weather?

*2023-08-07, version 5.10.500*

To much advertising in the middle of the weather. I know the ads support overhead operations but not necessary to mix them in like STEW.   Mike Stribling, Roxton Tx….

### 1/5 — Useless notifications

*2023-06-16, version 5.10.400*

I get notifications continuously if we are having any kind of weather besides sunshine. Only to be taken to an ad that I have to watch before I can see a 10 second clip of a weather video from 4 days ago. This new app is trash.

### 1/5 — Weather Alert

*2023-04-24, version 5.7.301*

Got a weather alert this morning. 2 commercials came on first, then got Saturdays forecast. Today is Monday. This took up time I didn’t have.

### 1/5 — Weather Alerts are Horrible

*2023-04-20, version 5.7.301*

Why send me an alert for severe weather then show nothing but commercials when I click on it. KTEN and WeatherBug are the ones to get.

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2023-03-01, version 5.7.301*

The notifications just say “ A station alert has arrived”. When I go to the app, I have a really hard time finding out what the “alert” is for. There is no list of active warnings and the radar is so hard to use. The actual line is obscured by a layer on top. This app is not as helpful as it is annoying.

### 1/5 — WANTS TO SEND WAY TOO WORTHLESS INFORMATION

*2026-04-28, version 6.1.601*

i live in a rural area and the only way to have internet when power goes out is celluar.  just went through a tornado warning and could not get any updates as the kten page needs more bandwidth then a cell tower has when you have hundreds getting on it to check the weather.
you need to do some serious trimming of the data that no one wants or need

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-04-04, version 6.1.601*

Sucks

### 1/5 — To Many Ads

*2026-02-20, version 6.1.302*

Takes to long to see the News because of the Ads

### 1/5 — Keeps Getting Worse!

*2026-01-24, version 6.1.302*

This latest update totally screwed up this app.  You can no longer look at past AND future radar and you can’t select a geographic location for alerts.  Stop reading new functions until you get existing ones right.  Moving to another weather app!

### 1/5 — K MAGA

*2025-10-05, version 5.17.712*

Another one of Texoma’s oligarchic propaganda outlets

### 1/5 — Please Fix!!!

*2025-09-22, version 5.17.712*

Ever since you changed up the look of the app it will no longer open for me. I’ve tried multiple times - the initial page comes up and then it just sits there. Not having any trouble with the KTEN Weather App…….

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2025-06-18, version 5.17.614*

The app opens to an ad. When the ad clears, all you see is a cloudy sky.  Doesn’t refresh. I was hoping for local weather updates, but nothing. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Poor Coverage

*2025-06-03, version 5.17.614*

Doesn’t update with latest video forecasts like other apps. I have switched to the KTEN weather app which has up to date video forecasts and lets you live stream. I have deleted this app. KXII historically had great weather coverage but they are being outdone by other news stations.

### 1/5 — Sub par. Don’t waste time or space with this

*2025-05-20, version 5.17.614*

Just get The Weather Channel App. At least you will have LIVE and more ACCURATE COVERAGE. I deleted this app- annoying repetitive notifications but no live coverage after hours… nights, weekends, or holidays.

Multiple notifications seconds apart. Used to have Live weather-no more. Now, when you open app you get a generic colored map if it’s after hours. Find another app that actually lets you know what’s actually going on with the weather

### 5/5 — Weather

Nashirrigation is enjoying weather app

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2023-10-16, version 5.11.503*

It’s so much better than the other one I have on my phone. I like the features and it’s accurate.

### 5/5 — Best Weather App for Texoma

*2023-03-12, version 5.7.301*

Got my Tornado warnings 3-5min before my IPhone an city let me know we had one in our area.. 
You can go to settings an pick what alerts/warnings you want to be Notified.
When I get one it’s a live video that’s been uploaded about what’s going on in your area explaining what kind of weather is heading your way into great detail.. I’ve had app 4 months an I haven’t had no Issues

### 5/5 — cool

*2023-03-10, version 5.7.301*

I like the new weather app but i am bummed about not being able to check the earthquake reports around the world

### 5/5 — Paris texas

*2022-11-14, version 5.6.500*

I think this is the most accurate weather channel.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2022-11-14, version 5.6.500*

KXII is the best for local weather, our goto for up to date, accurate, and reliable local weather for our area west of Tioga.

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2022-04-12, version 5.4.933*

Thanks for keeping us informed on the Weather! We certainly appreciate everything you do! God Bless the storm chasers also !

### 5/5 — Pecan Gap-Delta County

*2021-09-03, version 5.3.904*

We live in Telephone, Texas now. Which is in Fannin County. Lived 20 years in Sherman always listen to Tom and Steve for the weather on channel 12 and on our phone s for updates. However I have family moving to Pecan Gap in Delta County so I am constantly checking the weather for both counties sure would like to include Delta County now in our weather updates. 
Thank y’all! 
Sheila and Greg Spanihel
