But the app is still good. ### 4/5 — WIBW weather radar app *2025-03-12, version 5.17.511* I lived in Kansas for 50 years and was accustomed to using your weather app where ever I traveled for radar. I moved to Texas in 2021 and until your recent update was still using your app for radarj. Not sure why you changed it but I’m sorry I had to leave in order to look at radar.. actually don’t even see how local users can see radar. Good bye and thanks for the memories. ### 2/5 — App should be much better *2024-05-25, version 5.14.703* Ad’s in front of emergency warnings is ridiculous. The app updates too slowly and doesn’t give an accurate enough description of the weather. overall lots of improvements need to be made ### 3/5 — Weather alert *2024-04-26, version 5.12.701* Frustrating when an ADVERTISEMENT pops up first when YOU have just sent ME an ALERT! ### 3/5 — Video *2024-01-06, version 5.12.701* We used to have several videos of weather forecasts but lately I have only had the 4am forecast. Let disappointed ### 3/5 — Update *2023-07-13, version 5.10.500* Just uploaded the newest update and the app won’t even open, keeps shutting down. So disappointed. So much for keeping me safe and informed. ### 4/5 — Radar *2023-06-05, version 5.8.500* I’ve used the app for several years which has been great until the last upgrade. Now it buffers for several minutes when I go to check the radar. I live out in the country and rely on this to determine when I should move inside. I have deleted the app and then downloaded again, but it hasn’t helped. It must be on WIBW’s end. Please fix. ### 4/5 — App Won’t Load *2023-03-04, version 5.7.301* Love the weather information, but app has trouble loading. Often times I have to restart my iPad to get the app to display the weather information. They need to rebuild this app. ### 1/5 — Where is the live stream radar at? *2023-02-27, version 5.7.301* I didn’t get the memo ### 1/5 — App Won’t Load *2023-02-03, version 5.7.301* Love the weather information, but app has trouble loading. Often times I have to restart my iPad to get the app to display the weather information. They need to rebuild this app. ### 1/5 — Accuracy *2022-09-30, version 5.6.510* The weather accuracy is horrible. Never accurate. ### 2/5 — Need to animate rain *2022-07-24, version 5.4.921* Animate rain progress ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Has too many bugs *2026-04-28, version 6.1.708* The app has way too many bugs. You can no longer adjust notifications by location or even delete a location. You click the 3 dots to edit location settings and it just pops up the screen for less than a second and disappears. This app was my main weather app but it’s impossible to use it now. I get notifications for places I don’t want and can’t get them for the places I do want. I’ve just silenced the entire app at this point and will probably delete it in the near future. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-07-16, version 5.17.511* I get weather notifications then find that they are not available on the app! This is very frustrating! I wanted to read it again! ### 1/5 — Too many irrelevant notifications *2024-05-14, version 5.12.701* I just want severe weather notifications. I don’t want to get a notification that the weather is going to be nice, the source of the smoke in NE KS, etc. ### 1/5 — Notifications *2024-04-26, version 5.12.701* I have my notifications to where I’m only supposed to get tornado watches and warnings, and I am getting notifications about other things. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2023-09-09, version 5.10.500* This app is the WORST app ever. Way to busy, hard to read and looks like a grade schooler developed it. Wait take that back, it would probably be better if a grade schooler did develop it. ### 1/5 — No volume on weather update videos!!! *2023-04-17, version 5.7.301* Weather videos don’t have sound. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2023-04-15, version 5.7.301* Not a fan of the new app. ### 1/5 — terrible app *2023-04-05, version 5.7.301* aside from the fact that the commercials on the app are copious and some containing far right leaning propaganda. it has the worst notification sounds and constantly pesters you every minute during a storm. it should be illegal to abuse push notifications to this degree. i turned down all the settings and it was still far too much. there is no excuse for this. epic fail of an app. don’t download. terrible ### 1/5 — Rarely works correctly *2023-04-01, version 5.7.301* Frustrated at the app. Rarely works and lots of ads ### 1/5 — Weather app *2023-03-18, version 5.7.301* This new app is not user friendly original showed more info faster and easier and it was all part of WIBW news not two separate apps very displeased with new format ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-01-11, version 5.17.509* Check this daily. Thank you🤗 ### 5/5 — Review *2024-11-13, version 5.16.1703* I love this app because I get aware of the thunder storms that are in my area and it shows a video where the tornado is located ### 5/5 — Great Information *2024-09-05, version 5.15.412* I love to have the weather app at hand. It helps me choose my plans around Mother Nature and her amazing changes. Thank you WIBW for always keeping us updated on news and weather. 😎 ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2024-07-16, version 5.15.402* This app has to be the best. I use it daily and it’s a good app. It tells you everything you need to know. Keep going don’t listen to the haters❤️ ### 5/5 — Happy *2024-04-28, version 5.12.701* I think this weather app is the simplest/best I have ever used ### 5/5 — WIBW review *2024-01-06, version 5.12.701* Good way to start the day. Helps decide what to wear for the day and evening. No surprises then. ### 5/5 — What’s wrong with the app. Won’t open *2023-10-04, version 5.11.503* Have removed it and put it back on iPad several times. Still won’t open ### 5/5 — Weather App…””Part of Life”” *2022-07-08, version 5.4.921* The Channel 13 weather app is just part of life,,,you check it first thing in the morning,,,through the day and just before you go to bed,,,it’s just amazing how accurate the 10 Day forecast is,,and the radar is a must when the weather is getting nasty….Thanks Channel 13 ### 5/5 — A WIBW review *2021-10-18, version 5.3.904* Of the broadcasting world. WIBW has found its mark in the bulls eye of news and is worthy of such praise. What stories to be told that continues to be detailed from the lips of the newscasters themselves. It is to go without saying that I shall be partial to WIBW because my household is among the divide. I the husband lean towards KSNT news where as my wife leans heavily on WIBW. Which ever one chooses. Let it be clear that I stand next to the WIBW app. For not is it only reliable but also cost efficient. BRAVO WIBW. BRAVO!! ### 5/5 — Brevity and on point *2021-07-06, version 5.3.502* They work at communicating what to expect In just a few words - and they pull it off with an appropriate attitude. Well done! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
