### 1/5 — Get another app

*2026-07-19, version 6.2.520*

This app doesn’t really reflect what the news station puts out

### 1/5 — Radar

*2026-05-29, version 6.1.601*

The radar isn’t working

### 4/5 — Great for really local

*2026-05-26, version 6.1.601*

Wonderful for really local but way off for other places like an hour away.

### 5/5 — Great job

*2026-04-27, version 6.1.601*

The team is outstanding!!!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-26, version 6.1.601*

Been watching since Jim Gibbon

### 5/5 — The ad

*2026-03-12, version 6.1.601*

It would be great if the ad that pops up when you load the app to look at the weather was disabled during tornado weather. It stays on way too long.  Other than that the app is great.

### 4/5 — Needs Live Video Feed

*2026-03-12, version 6.1.601*

A lot of information packed into this app. However, during the last severe weather event, we had to download the “regular” WDAM app to access the live video updates. It would be helpful if this app had live video updates as well.

### 1/5 — Color scheme

*2026-02-19, version 6.1.401*

That is good except for the color scheme for the lows and highs on daily forecast. The low is a very light blue.  And you can’t see the damn thing.  Especially when the background is cloudy.  When it’s a sunny day it’s the same color as the blue background  completely ridiculous  who the hell needs to read this to change that?

### 2/5 — Daily weather background

*2026-02-16, version 6.1.401*

Can’t see what the daily temps are because of a cloudy then bright spot in the background. Just make  the background a simple color or a nice clean weather related background instead of a bad cloudy looking, bad day  background.

### 2/5 — 2026 Update

*2026-01-26, version 6.1.302*

The latest update is a perfect example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Why take a perfectly good simple app and build in a huge learning curve? The options on the RADAR screen are hardly intuitive and are cumbersome.  In case any developer should read this, get a cup of coffee, read the paper, watch WDAM news, bring back the old app features and leave it alone!
