The ad when opening the app takes a long time to close too. Everything else is great. ### 2/5 — Temperatures *2026-04-03, version 6.1.601* Temperature plots doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Can you add a no ad option?? *2025-07-11, version 5.17.614* Love the meteorologists at KWWL and love the app with the exception of the ads. Can you do a no ad option? I’d be willing to pay a fee to get all the great info without the constant ads. ### 3/5 — Radar woes *2025-06-08, version 5.17.614* Noticed during the past several months the radar map has been inaccurate. This one shows no precipitation near us but other apps do. This app has lost some trust ### 2/5 — What happened?! *2025-04-29, version 5.17.604* This used to be my “go to” weather app, but something changed. There are so many pop up ads now that I can’t even maneuver the app. An ad will pop up and the “x” is so far to the top of the screen that I can’t click it and it stalls and freezes on the ad. The radar now takes me to a webpage that never loads. The alerts also don’t let me read the full alert without taking me to a website article instead of solely on the app like it used to. I hope it can go back to how it used to be. I am having to use a different weather app just because it’s so frustrating. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-06-04, version 5.15.401* Too many ads ### 2/5 — Love the weather but *2024-05-09, version 5.14.700* 1- way too many ads way too often. I shouldn’t see an ad every time I enter the app. 2- needs less videos and more print. Everything said in the video should be transcribed into text. ### 2/5 — Drives me nuts *2023-10-12, version 5.11.505* Can’t stand them pop-ups some of the texts are hard to see. The channel 9 app is easier to see. ### 5/5 — Good Sunday Morning! *2023-10-08, version 5.11.505* Thank-you! Mark, I remember you from Omaha Nebraska! Great team! Love ❤️ Brie! Her smile is amazing! ### 5/5 — Excellence In Weather Forecasting *2023-10-06, version 5.11.505* The KWWL team of meteorologists are outstanding in their work. It is no surprise that the KWWL weather team has won the award for excellence in weather broadcasting for 3 years in a row. Your team is accurate, precise, diligent, knowledgeable and professional in everything you do each and every day! Along with that, you are all good teachers. I learn about the science of meteorology when I watch the broadcast. Above all that, you care about your viewers and their safety. You track storms, inform your viewers and help to keep everyone safe! That’s a huge responsibility, but you all shoulder your commitment to the public very well. Thank you for your dedication and diligence to be the best because you are! Again, thank you. Chris and Linda Decorah IA. ### 3/5 — Slow Weather *2023-10-04, version 5.11.505* This weather app is so slow due to the advertisement by Dupaco. Keep looking if your time is important! ### 5/5 — Schnack *2023-10-04, version 5.11.505* While the weather, men and women on KWWL have always been admired since I moved to Iowa in 1978, Schnack has been there for so much of that time that I look forward to his posts and predictions on a daily basis. Maybe it’s because he came from New Jersey and I came from Long Island New York (😂) I look forward to his posts and forecasts as well as all the forecasts on KWWL. They are more accurate than most that I’ve come across in the past, and I plan my day around what the weathers going to be like now that I’ve moved to Iowa where the changes are so great, and we can go from summer to winter and skip fall and other extremes. Thank you to StormTrack7 and to Schnack! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mostly Unusable - June 2025 *2025-06-21, version 5.17.614* Offers a great “AD Experience” but poor “Radar Viewing Experience” If you like how it operated like back in 2024, “KCRG Weather” (ABC - Channel 9 out of Cedar Rapids) is most likely the old Storm Track 7 app. So far I’ve only seen the splash screen AD and identical User Interface and functionality. ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-04-28, version 5.17.604* Too many ads, especially when you need to find storm updates quickly. Also not easy to find what you are looking for ### 1/5 — Ads every 4 seconds *2025-04-28, version 5.17.604* An ad pops up every 4 to 10 seconds. Then you have to wait to X out of it. It makes the app almost impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Getting rid of local weather team…why have app? *2025-01-22, version 5.17.508* We won’t be able to count on this app since corporate is eliminating our local weather team…it’s wild when weather patterns are getting more and more unpredictable. Having a good weather team is vital for the health and safety of every community. ### 1/5 — No more local weather *2025-01-21, version 5.17.508* Now that allen media is replacing our local weather with the national weather channel, I will no longer support this app or the television station ### 1/5 — Poor reliability *2024-05-23, version 5.14.700* The radar is never reliable when there is actual threat of bad weather. Can never get it to load when one needs it. ### 1/5 — Not accurate weather *2023-10-17, version 5.11.505* accurate ### 1/5 — Noisy ads *2023-10-06, version 5.11.505* I hate the noisy pop up ads when I am trying to check the local weather. I have used this app for years. I will be deleting app and using a different option moving forward. ### 1/5 — Was Good *2023-09-28, version 5.11.504* Too many pop ups now ### 1/5 — Annoying pop-ups *2023-09-02* Ads are constantly popping up that you can’t get rid of. Every time you go from one page to another, you get another barrage of ads. It is especially annoying when audio starts playing. The local severe weather alerts are nice, but on balance the ad-free app that came with my phone is my first choice. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2026-04-17, version 6.1.601* This app is a very helpful weather app one of the most accurate I have seen. They are always the first to let me know when severe weather hits even before the national weather service! I have trusted this news/weather channel for quite some time and they are on of the best I would totally recommend this app and news channel! ### 5/5 — FSAC1982!njk *2025-12-25, version 6.1.101* Accurate and reliable forecasts,.. ### 5/5 — Weather Coverage *2025-12-04, version 5.17.804* Snack and Brandon do a magnificent job with the weather reporting along with blending their knowledgeable and fun personalities. ### 5/5 — NJDavies *2025-07-17, version 5.17.705* Our family always watches KWWL so we know what is coming to Platteville , WI. Thanks for the heads up! ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER! *2025-06-26, version 5.17.614* this app is the best to keep track of whatever storms or other kinds of weather events that will occur within the area of where I am. I recommend downloading this app and keep it in your home browser. It’s very worth it. ### 5/5 — Storm track 7 team *2025-03-24, version 5.17.604* StormTrack7 team are the only ones I watch and they are the only ones that I trust to give me a good call and a good understanding of what my day is gonna be like if there’s a storm coming, they always let me know in advance and they’re always there with me through the whole thing. I really appreciate them. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2024-08-08, version 5.15.416* I can use this app to see weather in my location and it’s very reliable. ### 5/5 — Yes!! *2024-06-28, version 5.15.407* Enjoy the updates! ### 5/5 — Great Job CH. 7 *2024-05-28, version 5.14.700* I love the app and watching you all in the morning!
