That was what I loved. If I had a late night, I could wake up late morning and still watch the 5am news as well as the 7am news at anytime that day, even that night if I wanted to. I hope that feature comes back soon. ### 2/5 — Don’t Try To Fix What Isn’t Broken *2026-07-15, version 50.16.0* I’ve used the WFAA app for many years. Recently there was a complete makeover of it. Ever since, the radar is lacking, less details and options, more clunky and less easy to navigate. I am all for improving things, but in my opinion, it is now worse. I miss the easy and better weather pages! ### 3/5 — Interactive Radar and Weather section *2026-07-07, version 50.15.4* Updated App on iPad July 7, 2026, disappointed. The last 2 updates, were the opposite of improvements. I reference the news and weather very often, and especially when inclement weather is expected, sometimes used to see radar in other areas of the USA, now radar is glitchy with a noticeable loss of usefulness. Disappointed. ### 5/5 — Pete Delkus is the best weather forecaster in America …don’t tell New York or Chicago! Shh! *2026-07-02, version 50.14.0* He’s the reason I got the app. We now live near Austin in the HILL COUNTRY. We lived in Dallas for many years…then moved to Washington, DC then back to BIG D! He’s the greatest! I even texted him to ask where he bought his clothes 10 years ago and HE TOLD ME! I miss Dale …we watched him through his whole career…the two of them together are like Abbott and Costello!😂🤣😂 ### 5/5 — Good Job(s) *2026-06-30, version 50.14.0* I like the national ABC connection; speaking of “liking”, I like the friendly local people too, especially Jesse (concerned that he seems less visible lately) and the sports team. I also like the increased role of the “traffic” lady. —I wish that the channel included many more Rangers games like the Wings and Mavericks on KFAA 29!😏 ### 5/5 — WFAA is the best *2026-06-29, version 50.14.0* Love y’all with constant weather updates ### 2/5 — Radar crashes a lot *2026-06-22, version 50.14.0* Recent updates make app crash almost every time I open radar. Two year old iPhone with newest software and plenty of memory. Deleted/Reinstalled five times. Same issue each time. ### 5/5 — En job joy listening to what going on in the Dallas Texas area *2026-06-16, version 50.13.0* I enjoy listening to to the Dallas ft worth news and see what’s happening . ### 3/5 — Stop repeating stories *2026-06-15, version 50.13.0* A lot of repeat information, no need to update so often when there’s actually no new details. ### 5/5 — Always the best *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* It’s always great having the WFAA app, you get the latest information nonstop. ### 5/5 — Weather Radar *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* I love this app but I miss the weather radars that showed the rain and warnings ### 5/5 — Sports good, Weather page has changed to bad Radar *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* Main page has always been really good, the Sports good, Weather page has changed to bad Radar? Why in the world did you change the radar to like the weather app screen? It needs to be back like it used to be. I hate to say it the WAPP is the radar I love now. It's only because it changed from earlier years. ### 4/5 — App review *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* I’ve always liked your app but the weather part isn’t as good. I couldn’t find your new pollen counter in the weather section. Your radar says it’s good for several hours with predictions but what I get is 30-60 minutes that keeps repeating. I loved your radar before because I could look at anywhere in the country ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-10, version 50.12.0* Top-notch station from Camar people to anchors and reports. ### 3/5 — Changes not good *2026-06-10, version 50.12.0* Recent (last few months) have made the app almost unusable. Everything freezes. Weather is lost somewhere and radars are no where to be found. I have watched WFAA my entire life and used the AP as long as it has existed but can’t anymore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New weather guy Ruth Davis *2026-08-30, version 50.23.1* I do not like him at all, he does not do very well reporting the weather! ### 1/5 — Bad!! *2026-07-29, version 50.18.4* What happen to all the Radars? Cannot find anywhere. This app has become atrocious!! ### 1/5 — Unwanted notifications (Too bad I can’t rate 0 stars) *2026-07-23, version 50.17.3* I downloaded the app for weather alerts, and my settings only allow weather related notifications. Instead I receive multiple unwanted notifications for the start of NBA and WNBA games, potato chips, puddles of water on roads, K-POP concerts and other topics I do not want. Repeated requests to the app developers are ignored. Do not download unless you want unnecessary notifications. ### 1/5 — Made Radar and readability worse *2026-07-15, version 50.16.0* I’ve used the app for years and the old weather radar was not only more readable, but easier to process for other regions. The future tracking part doesn’t seem to work after 1-2 hours ahead and overall think it’s a bad feature. It takes longer to update now and the pure white is straining on the eyes. The app overall needs a dark mode. If it’s there, I can’t find it where most people would look for it. ### 1/5 — BS *2026-07-07, version 46.5.2* This app won’t even install on my phone even as an update because it has the wrong iOS! My phone is updated and is iOS 3. Your app says iOS 6. Good luck with that. ### 1/5 — No sound on live jury result! *2026-06-09, version 50.12.0* This thing has been riddled with bugs and errors ever since these so-called updates started taking place over the last several months. Just moments ago, I received a pop-up on my phone indicating that they had reached a jury decision an important, and when I open up the app to watch it, I get video, but… There. Is. No. Sound!! How can you have something so a sound not working on live video from a television station on an app?? I used to love this app it was great for live weather but now on it giving you actually any sound telling where the tornado is heading!! ### 1/5 — Restore dark mode *2026-06-06, version 50.12.0* Restore dark mode ### 1/5 — Fix Radar *2026-05-27, version 50.10.7* Radar is on a constant loop so we can’t see ahead. Please fix ### 1/5 — App change *2026-05-18, version 50.10.6* WFAA app used to be my go to app. I would always check weather update news. However, the new update to the app. I am stuck on Dallas. I do not live in Dallas. I cannot get it to go anywhere else, but Dallas. And the weather, I’m lucky if it opens after four different tries. I’m not a fan of the update and I’ve had to download another local news app. If home I will still watch WFAA when I’m not it is not an app I trust anymore. ### 1/5 — New app is terrible *2026-05-11, version 50.10.6* New app (as of 5/11/2026) is awful. Old app was so much better… new one is hard to use and hard to find news stories. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-08-14, version 50.21.3* App is a great improvement from the last one. Please make dark mode option for viewing. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-13, version 50.21.1* Thank you so very much ### 5/5 — 24/7 News *2026-08-12, version 50.21.1* I appreciate having the top stories and all of my local news, with the pertinent details. I especially enjoy my 24/7 access! ### 5/5 — Lil Lost Texan *2026-07-31, version 50.18.4* Due to employment obligations, I am currently away from my home in Texas. The WFAA App keeps me plugged into my North Texas roots.
