Update fixed it!Updated review:
The update has fixed all the glitches! I am once again so very happy with this app. That being said, I will probably never participate in an update again, since that’s how it became glitchy in the first place!
My old review:
This app used to be a 5 star app and it now won’t even open or load on my ipad pro since the last update. Please fix this!.Dadman1240Version: 5.12.700
Don’t wake me for wind warningsThe real utility for this app would be if you could set it for tornado warnings only. I don’t care if there’sna severe thunderstorm with 80 mile an hour winds and large hail at 1 AM because I’m already safely sucked into my house. What I care about is a tornado where I should seek basement shelter, but your app lacks a setting for that. If I’m awake I don’t need an app to tell me what other alerts are out there. You need more specific setting alerts. If I set a severe weather alert and you wake me to tell me the wind is blowing hard in Kansas I’d be angrier than the storm..SheahlVersion: 5.3.502
Storm Team 12I am so delighted with our storm 12 app! It is really on top of the weather and covers all my questions any time I get on to check things out! It must be because we have very conscientous and informed meteorologists! I thank you for your great coverage! Keep up the good work!

InternetThis is an amazing app like I can look to see if there will be rain but the reason that it is not a 5 stars is because it doesn’t work without internet for me like that’s weird how something that’s supposed to tell you about weather in your area doesn’t work without Internet so fix that and then it will be stars.BakuzvvsjdbxnxVersion: 5.12.700
Weekly forecastThank you for having the 7 day forecast with everything we need to know for traveling. It is especially helpful to my husband and I when planning our trips as we pull a 43' RV and we like knowing what the wind is blowing and how fast as we travel across the state..RxJHawkwifeVersion: 5.6.510
The ads are painfulGreat app BUT to watch a 45 second weather video you first wait 30-45 seconds for the ad to load then the 15 second ad. The time it takes for the ad to load has become longer and longer. Painful for such a good app otherwise..TflaskVersion: 4.10.2100
Weather forecastI appreciate accurate weather information. As a painter, my livelihood revolves around the weather, so I need to know temperature, humidity, wind direction/ speed, and of course chances of rain. Thanks for including this info in your forecast..Painter guyVersion: 5.6.510
AccurateFor western Kansas (Oakley) you seem to be most accurate for our area. I check the site many times. Sometimes radar and map aren’t as accurate but close. Number one in my book. Thank you!!!.TlhippVersion: 5.1.604
WeatherEach morning I awake to view channel 12 weather and I certainly apprehensive weather alerts you send .
The temperatures are usually right on.
Thank you to all the weather people who are very knowledgeable…..Skinny p7Version: 5.6.510
ReviewWe now live in Shell Knob, MO but I still use your weather app. I find that you come closer to accurately predicting our weather than the the TV stations in Springfield do. We live right on Tablerock so there is a bit of lake adjustment but your overall forecasts are good..RSW147526Version: 5.4.940
My Best Weather AppI’m surprised at the low rating for this app. I love it!! I had five weather apps when I did my review and found this one to be the best. Yes, I get alerts for other parts of the KWCH viewing area but that doesn’t bother me.
Hint: if you don’t want notifications, turn them off..Grandpa-dVersion: 4.5.1800
Storm Team 12The radar map is a go to map! I always want to know about the upcoming weather before I begin, my day, or before going to bed. This map and radar are spot on. Thanks..4CatsGirlVersion: 5.7.301
Content is great, ads make app glitchFirst of all, I understand that ads are necessary. But a 30 second ad for a 35 second weather update is a bit ridiculous.
It’s also annoying that if you want to replay the content, you have to watch the ad again.
Please fix that..SimpsonkVersion: 5.12.700
Dependable accurate weather predictions always!I absolutely depend on my weather information from channel 12 exclusively!! Thank you for being awesome at your work!!.Crzygrl1962Version: 5.12.700
Storm Team 12I appreciate the alerts and warnings I receive from Storm Team 12.
And I do like the map with radar on it so I can tell which direction a storm is heading. Thank you!.ThdljjVersion: 5.6.500
CT Users getting Kansas notificationsI used to love this app, but now I get notifications for Kansas weather and I live in Connecticut.
I have the location set up properly and still every day get alerts for Kansas weather. This has been going on over a week. When are they going to fix this?.Val-MalVersion: 5.4.940

Would like warmer temperaturesHey Mark, How about blowing in some warmer temps and sunshine. This feels to much like January. Thanks for a great 12 app and instant weather reports. We can’t wait for this cold front to move out of here.

Lending Tree AdLending tree add is infuriating! IF there is an”x” on it, the colors hide it. You CANNOT get rid of it unless you close the weather app and hopefully it is gone when you reopen . If you don’t get rid of it I am going to KAKE!.KsbelleVersion: 5.0.401

News 12 WeatherI keep getting updates for Kanas City. I live on Long Island. My location is in as Dix Hills NY. Very annoying to have to see the update isn’t for here. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I am still getting Kanas City. I do get for Long Island but every video is for Kanas City..LiweatherVersion: 5.12.700
Not pleased with update.After the recent update I haven’t been able to see the names of the tropical storms/ hurricanes. When I go to click on the symbols, the screen shifts up and there is not way to open the information box at the bottom of the screen..Liz&Cami91Version: 4.7.200

Can no longer view forecast without persistent adsAs in the title. When viewing anything in the app a full screen advertisement pops up, after dismissing the ad it will come back within seconds making the app unusable. Along with this simply going to view a video forecast makes a video ad come up every single time. I get banner ads sure but this isn’t acceptable by any means. There’s plenty of alternative weather apps out there, only reason to use this was for local forecasts with our own meteorologists and to support the local station. But that’s getting much harder to do now..BrettAppleVersion: 4.5.1802
Used 1.7 GIGABYTES in 6 days + major battery drainDespite the most recent update, this app is a major data hog and battery drain. Something was using major amounts of data and I was able to confirm that this app was the culprit by resetting the usage statistics and rechecking less than a week later to find that it used 1.7 gigs. The total of all my other apps was less than .25 gB in that 6 day period. Before this I tried scaling back the app’s location access but that made no noticeable difference (“only while using app” instead of “always”). Besides the data, there were days when it was responsible for more than 60% of my battery drain..Flurr BallVersion: 4.6.1400
Update has made it unusableSince the update a little over a week ago, the app is extremely difficult to use. The map moves too fast, and the resolution seems worse. There is a glitch as well that occurs after receiving an alert. For instance, if I get an alert that there is lightning nearby, and I click on the alert, it takes me to a static zoomed in map. But then when you return to the radar map, you cannot get any the watch or warning boxes (that normally disappear while the map is in motion) to go away. These boxes cover the radar image. Restarting does nothing. Frustrating. I’ll switch to something else..JodyNeffVersion: 4.8.900
Thumbs down 👎Don’t like the radar. The previous version had color variations that would let you see the intensity of approaching hail. This one is green, yellow, and red. I would also like to have all of the semi transparent watches and warnings be an option instead of default. Every time I open the map, I have to go through and shut off the watches and warnings to get a clear view of the map and the things I want to see like earthquakes and storm tracks, I have to put on manually. Somebody please enlighten me on how this one is better. Wish I had a choice, I’d go back..IsitreallybetterVersion: 5.4.940
Rarely even opens after updateI used this all the time before the update. Now it takes forever to open. Normally I get tired of waiting or I have to go to work before I can check the weather. This is not useful. I have only been able to use it a couple times since the update. I had to load KAKE FirstAlert because I need to know the weather. Please fix it. I have an iPhone SE updated with the latest iOS and a 100 MBPS WiFi network. It should not be this slow. It was very pretty the couple times it opened. However, if it generally doesn’t open, what does that matter?.HiccupNAstridVersion: 4.6.301
Turned into a SPAM botThe app itself is a great way to check local weather and check the 24/7 weather stream when there is severe weather in the area.
Lately they have been sending out pointless notifications. Before I would get notifications severe weather in my area. Now I am getting notifications that the end of summer isn't here yet, there is a heat wave coming or that Labor Day is going to be between 80-90 degrees.
If they don't stop soon I'll be looking for another app for local weather alerts..DpjohnstonVersion: 4.4.1003
Is not very reliableI’m about fed up with the app. It is so unreliable. Just last night I checked it and said storms at 5 a.m, checked at 2 a.m. and no chance of rain. Then at 5 a.m. storms came through. Sometimes you can look at the daily and it says one thing but if you look at the hourly it contradicts what the daily said. I can be looking at it on my phone and my partner in the same room will look at it at the same time and it says something different. I just can’t rely on it to plan a day. Very disappointing and frustrating..KsleatherboyVersion: 5.0.602
It's now spammingThe app does a fine job of delivering local weather information. However, a key reason I used it was so I could get severe weather notifications. It used to limit itself to that. Then lately, it started sending out notifications for things like "clear and breezy". Annoying, but it delivered some info. NOW it is sending SPAM. Messages like, "Want to know when it will rain next? Check the app". Infuriating. Useless. If this doesn't stop in the next week, I'm moving away from this app..TheFirstJust4KicksVersion: 4.4.1003
Too many notificationsUsed to be really good about notifying for severe weather. Lately been notifying me every time the sun rose in the morning. On my way back to Wichita from KC last week, I counted 8 notifications about lightning, each about 5 minutes apart. Tried to turn them off, but kept coming.
Decided to kill the app and uninstall it from my phone. Unless it stops, will use a different app..Jargon452234Version: 4.6.1400
Nuisance NotificationsThe app was great until someone decided it was wise to send out daily alerts about nothing ("be sure to check you lottery numbers", "it's going to get hotter 3 days from today", "hey look at me"). I complained to their feedback on the 2nd instance, uninstalled it after about a week of daily nuisance alerts. Chatted with some friends at a local Apple user group today, 5 of 7 of us had each come to the same decision to uninstall this annoying app..SwaltnerVersion: 4.4.1003
I will be uninstalling soonIf you don't get rid of these stupid notifications that pop up once a day then I will be forced to uninstall. It used to be when I heard your notifications I would instantly grab my phone and look because you always told me about severe weather and such. Why would I want to know that the forecast is changing soon. Or about a hurricane that isn't even affecting me yet. Get rid of these stupid notifications please..DodgevixenVersion: 4.4.1003
Alert overlays drive me nutsI’ve used this app for years but the most recent update has made the alert overlays appear by default. Every time you open the app you have to clear the alert overlays before you can see radar. It needs a way to save a custom view or a button to quickly turn off overlays..Every Justin Name is TakenVersion: 5.4.940
Not user friendly.I downloaded this app because I am a fan of the news station and the weather team. Unfortunately, the app is nowhere near the quality. It takes excruciatingly long periods of time for the video blogs to load. Quite often I find myself closing the app to use a different one that works better.
As a result, I am deleting this app..GoondogVersion: 4.7.900
Too much to loadWith the latest update, the app now takes way too long to load. They tried to put a lot of information on the homepage, but the downside is it takes longer than a minute to load. I can pull up two or three other weather apps in the amount of time it takes this one to display..Khart25Version: 4.6.1400
Stupid notificationsDon’t care if lightning was 4.2 miles from my location. When there’s a thunderstorm with lightning it goes off all the time and it gets annoying. Only wanted notifications of storms approaching. Just shut off notifications so I guess I won’t get those now but am sick of all the notifications that mean nothing. Maybe you should send out lightning notifications when it hits my location..AVMan2Version: 4.6.1400
The latest update is terribleYou can’t see the radar when severe weather alerts are turned on because they cover up the radar so much. Thunderstorm watch/warning used to be yellow and tornado watch/warning was red. Now thunderstorm watches and warnings are red and significant weather advisory is yellow. I have no clue what tornado will be. The app still takes forever to initialize..Strim91GTVersion: 4.8.801
Needs improvementI understand your need to make money from advertising, but I need to be able to read the information. I can’t risk accessing your notices in a quiet place for fear they will have sound. Also, maybe one time out of four, when I click on your notification, it does not go to the information mentioned..Carrie-kitVersion: 5.12.700
Failure To ConnectWhile the Storm Team 12 meteorologists are good, this app is just the opposite. Half the time I try to pull it up it gives a message that it can’t connect to the server. I now have an Accuweather app loaded that I reference when Storm Team 12 app is not working. I’ve reloaded the app from the App Store several times hoping this gets addressed in an update but hasn’t happened. This needs to be fixed..Mess80Version: 4.7.1004
Could be betterSometimes you have to reload app to get the storm clouds to pop up, at times it will only show hail markers etc with no clouds loading.
Second thing is the future radar is always way off. Like 5 years ago apps where very close. But now it’s just not happening with these weather apps..ObjectDustVersion: 5.8.501
Dorothy, I’m NOT in Kansas!While I can see how this app might be useful if it worked well, despite allowing it to track my location (in NJ always), it consistently decides I’m in Kansas and gives me a Midwest video. I never add Kansas, always delete the mysteriously appearing state, even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it a few times, and finally gave up. Not wasting my (NJ!!) time!.KL NJVersion: 5.6.400
Last update hosed it upYou’ve taken what used to be a simple straightforward app and progressively hosed it up making changes that ultimately screws up something else! Two updates ago it was a 5-star app, then you had idle time so you started screwing with its overlays. Now the map doesn’t load at all. Go back 2 updates!.WilliewarlockVersion: 4.10.501
Poor weather accuracy, app freezes upThe chances of desired or undesired weather will always be 5 days away so you keep coming back to the app so they can sell more advertising. Go to noaa, not as flashy, but not concerned about people coming back so they can sell more ads. Only redeeming part is the radar is good if the app loads..No u the manVersion: 5.11.503
The Radar is always inaccurateI started noticing the radar would show rain or thunderstorm in my area when no rain was coming down. I would switch to Ksn weather or the weather channel, and the Rain was far from my location..NellksVersion: 5.10.500
