KOAM Sky Watch Weather Positive Reviews
Needs updated for bug fixes.I use this app because I trust the weather men who are behind the scenes (Doug and Nick). However, the weather blog is one of its most convenient features and with the newest update (3months ago), I can hardly read the blog anymore. As I read the screen turns white and takes me back to the top over and over. It glitches and flashes and has trouble loading the million ads on the page. Seems like every other paragraph is a huge ad. I know ads pay the bills, but the ads make it almost unusable at times. Please update and fix the bugs!.Cjbt42906Version: 5.3.904
Bluetooth Popup AnnoyingOverall much better than the old app. However, every time you open the app it pops up a notice telling you to enable bluetooth to allow it to work with devices. After the first 10 times it gets extremely annoying..RossroseVersion: 4.4.700
Mostly great appCan you please change the graphics back to what it was after last update? I really enjoyed the new way to see fair, rain, thunderstorm, etc. The partly cloudy looks like a demon unicorn lol in the clouds. The hourly could be more accurate, but only reason why I dont give it 5 stars bcuz of the radar isnt as accurate as other apps. & doesnt load up to exact timing when the rain or storms may hit.
But I love Doug & only watch him & koam weather so I will always use this..Red_0770Version: 5.7.100
Location not workingApp is telling me that it is not available in my current location...which is Joplin. Can’t even see the weather or change my location know the app..Kwestern18Version: 5.0.301
Severe Weather WarningsIt would be great if when you click on a watch or warning on the map, that it would give you details of that watch or warning to give you a heads up as to what’s headed your way..Nikita0186Version: 4.7.401
Location popLove the app but it seems more recently I get a pop up that tells me I can’t use the app due to my location which not correct because I live in Carl Junction, mo which is part of KOAM. Other wise it’s good..Yuki-samaVersion: 5.0.502
Almost perfect.Needs push notifications for watches/warnings, and would like to see more features like warning boxes and Titan storm tracking on the radar that is available via your website. Other than that I love it, gear tool for storm season in the four states..TheglenwalkerVersion: 1.8
One more thingThis is by far the BEST weather app for free I have found but there one thing I wish it had that would make it perfect. It needs and option to switch the view to see the individual counties and the watches and warnings for those counties display on a map like the have in the corner of the tv wen there's bad weather. Please add this in!.DROUGHT 714Version: 1.6
This radar is superb!I actually choose this app over the weather channel app, because it is more up to date! This was the app I was keeping an eye on when the storm carrying the tornado was approaching Joplin. It helped us realize we needed to head home away from the storm. Highly recommend!.Knm82Version: 1.8
Way better than weather channel app!!Great app! I've been so frustrated with the wx channel app & their out-of-date radar! This is what I have been looking for! I do have a request- include option to read Doug's blog. Otherwise, great job!!!.Mrs PaulieVersion: 1.9
Miss Google MapI really enjoy this app, but the new Apple maps are hard to see through and read when there is heavy radar activity. I miss the Google maps; you could more pinpoint easily see where the activity was..Weather not workingVersion: 2.3
Lamar GuyThis is the best weather app hands down. I've got the weather channel app and it doesn't even come close to this one. Great radar map, and it works!!! Love it, great job channel 7!!!.Got jukedVersion: 0

KOAM Sky Watch Weather Negative Reviews
Not liking color change at allI was so used to the previous colors for indicating tornado watches and warnings (red) and now when I click on the red it shows it’s a thunderstorm watch. And yellow is now a “significant threat” instead of severe thunderstorm warning. What’s up with that??? VERY CONFUSING. Please revert back to original colors or at least give us the option to do so. We have had enough tornados and storms passing through lately that this change is VERY VERY unsettling. I’m considering deleting the app because it bothers me so much..Musiclover4477Version: 4.8.600
Please fix this app!The audio constantly cuts off in the middle of what the weatherman is saying. Reload the video, must watch another add, changed page must watch another add. App crashes, must watch another add. This is stupid guys. Do better by your users. I like the app, but the bugs, audio recording problems and constant crashes are just ridiculous. You’re clearly making add revenue from this, so it’s worth fixing it..UnluckymofoVersion: 5.13.801
Annoying adI deleted the app because of the ad that opens every time you open the app. It’s also been the same ad every single time for probably the last year. It delays the app opening so gets very annoying when you just want to check the weather quickly..BestreviewthereisVersion: 5.0.1003
Poor updateThe new update is not up to the old standard. The satellite image is years old. The color for watches and warnings are confusing. You have taken a large step backwards with this update..JoplinhatVersion: 4.8.600
New UpdateNot a fan of the new radar. The alerts for watches and warnings are too dense to see the actual radar and all the colors for warnings blend together making it difficult to read. The last radar was much, much better!.Bre-Y14Version: 4.8.600
App is trashDoug is the only weather man I trust, but this app is trash. I can’t get any of the videos to play, when I get the notification. Now I remember why I offloaded it the first time. It’s not worth wasting space on my phone..KPmarleneVersion: 5.4.933
Poor Support...Tried to contact support regarding a question/issue three times with no response. App is no better or worse than other weather app with regard to forecasts. Don't expect any support from the Feedback/Contact setting..DickFogVersion: 4.4.700
Newest versionNot liking the new colors on the radar. They are too dark and now red indicates a thunderstorm warning as well as tornado? With the background being dark pink during a tornado watch it’s just too hard to see these colors..WeatherwatchertooVersion: 4.8.600
App is uselessIf you like seeing the same annoying ads and then app loading so slow due to those ads. This is for you!.Sherm827Version: 5.7.100
Locked UpRight now Saturday January 4 th it is locked up all I get is the opening commercial and it does not move on. Has been this way since it automatically upgraded 4 days ago..XacsvdVersion: 4.10.2100
Useless notificationsStop it with the pointless push notifications. Seriously. No one needs a push notifications on a sunny summer day to tell them it’s a sunny summer day..Jayman035Version: 4.6.1603
Old version much betterThe older version showed current conditions but now that’s gone..Firestomper443Version: 4.7.900
Bad updateThey updated the radar map, and the colors of the watches and warnings blend together so now I can’t tell what’s going on..XRoxxixVersion: 4.8.600
PatheticThis app is useless now…so SLOW!.SelbuodehtVersion: 5.8.500
Hate new updateThis update is awful. Can't see map and current at same time. Please bring back old home screen. New one has too many clicks and it was great to see everything on one page. Now you have to select either current or map. Can't have both. Ugh.BamodeoVersion: 4.2.100
New VersionMy iPhone is the 5s. I have to agree with the other 1-star raters -- this version of the app is horrible. I live in the TV station's viewing area, so I depended on it for all my weather updates. The radar maps don't work on this phone. Why did they take a lovely and intuitive app and mess it it up this bad..HarryB in JoplinVersion: 4.2.600
New update is terribleNew update is bad bad bad. I cannot believe this app took such a huge step back. The reason I liked the app was the simplicity, and everything being on the home screen. Fix this soon. I rely on this app for storm season. It is worthless In its current state. FIX IT..ChefjordanburgessVersion: 4.2.100
Scary!First off-the app was too confusing to try to navigate and radar never worked for me. Secondly-why have a man's voice announce when there are warnings??? Seriously one of the scariest things to hear when you're dead asleep. I had to delete the app!.EmiPeteVersion: 4.2.600
TerribleWorthless. What a time for a change, with storm season here. Finding new App for my weather to follow. Please undo the change and bring back what was not broken. :-(.Bwarch7Version: 4.2.100
New versionThe newest version is horrible!! Bring back the original format, it worked and DIDNT need fixing. This new version is lacking a lot!.JtvjayhawkfanVersion: 4.2.600
ReviewerKeep the original version. It's features are superior, and easier to use..Wdb1933Version: 4.2.600
Ehhhh 😞I HATE the new update. It's so confusing and now I have no access to the blog!! Bring the old version back!!!.Stefany112Version: 4.2.600
Not HappyI had this app on my android phone for 3+ years and loved it but, 2 months ago got an iPhone and hate the iPhone app. It’s slow to open up and when I’m out of area it’s even worse. Takes forever for the radar to load up and work. I also hate the map they offer. I never had any of these issues with the android version. Please fix it so I can download it again..Pburg Area UserVersion: 4.5.1910
Will be looking for a new appThe update is terrible..FurbiesojuyVersion: 4.2.100
Vers. 4.6.1400Latest update won't work on my iPad 4. There's nothing wrong with continuing to use this iPad simply because it's not the latest model. Thanks..ZephyronicusVersion: 4.5.1910
