M70%
by M####:

WIBW employees who enter text that is displayed onscreen during the news cannot spell and nobody at WIBW apparently can proofread. Someone at the station keeps flipping the wrong switch because the whole screen turns yellow. The mobile app has a feature that allows the user to receive alerts about specific organization weather-related closings but when you choose one, the feature does not provide a way to exit. I have to reboot my phone.

It's OK not much info

Having to download this app for weather alerts is crazy!! Totally eliminates flip phones, you can't just glance at a text for a warning - you have to go through the pain of logging onto data, opening app. It sure won't wake me up! Hope those dang ads are paying y'all big bucks. Now I am going to zap this thing from taking up more space on my phone and go back to watching the clouds with my own senses.

I like the new breakdown for alert levels! What happened to our team choices in sports?? I was hoping to have the option to select one High School to follow but I see we don't have ANY options. PLEASE bring our team options back. I don't get the upper cable channels nor the paper - I rely on you.

This was a good app. After the update an ad pops up everytime the app is opened. Then it takes forever to load up. I waited thinking that all the bad reviews would prompt you into fixing issue, but it hasnt. Uninstalling app.

X70%
by X####:

It seems that every time I open weather it will crash. Now there the ad every time full screen then tne app wont load. Switched to the KSNT app so far no problems.

E70%
by E####:

This was a great app before the update. 1/2 the time I can't get it to load, 1/2 the time it'll freeze on me. It's starting not to load stories for days at a time. The warnings and cancellations are not working. You can't add two cities to the weather list. Then let's not get started on the pop-up ad when you first open the app.

F70%
by F####:

It sucks. Weather & everything else I signed up for comes across whenever it wants. The text alerts where much better.

N70%
by N####:

This app crashes ALL THE TIME! Between that and the ads I can't get the weather when I need it the most. Find something better! For now, I had to delete it. Why have an app that doesn't work????

O70%
by O####:

Cant get school closings added on to my list. Please fix this. Or I will just uninstall the app and do it the old fashion way get up and watch tv

N70%
by N####:

In Shawnee county, we are surrounded by more than three counties, but that's all you allow to be chosen. With the weather conditions in Kansas, we need to be able to cover all surrounding areas, not just ours and two others. I do not watch any other channel for news and weather. Five stars for the fix.

N70%
by N####:

Not impressed with the full screen ad that comes up every single time I get a notification.

N70%
by N####:

Don't like this app. It changed my settings to news stories when all I wanted was the weather. I want the text alerts back.

N70%
by N####:

Not sure why it was updated. 90 percent of the time it doesn't load or takes forever. Deleting it off my phone. I really liked the previous version.

X70%
by X####:

Takes forever to load if it does happen to load but we can tell who pays for the most advertising!!

N70%
by N####:

I have to read an ad before I can see the weather forecast...

T70%
by T####:

Don't care for weather app so I downloaded another app for weather.

W70%
by W####:

Again, this world is never satisfied. Why fix what wasnt broken. My Mom is 75 and use to her text. So am I. Now have to download another app. I haven't the storage space. Can't I keep my daily text? Also I won't know when weather is coming unless I check my phone all the time. I need to hear my text notification. Can't we have the choice to keep text messages?

T70%
by T####:

I am so tired of the full screen pop up ads every time I open the app. And now it is eating my battery life. I am done with it.

N70%
by N####:

I like the app, but it shows that I have 6 notifications and I cannot figure out what I need to look at for it to go away! Drives me crazy!

N70%
by N####:

Don't like it at all, I don't have enough data to keep using the app every time something happens. Text msgs for the two counties I live and work in is so much better and easier

Z70%
by Z####:

What happen to your old ap? I can not let your ap use up my phone. Yes, simplify. Hope you can figure this out. For now good by (uninstalled).

N70%
by N####:

Newest update put a numbered circle on icon similar to iPhone. I have an android i dont WANT that on my screen. Cant figure out how to get it off!!

N70%
by N####:

It's ok but I really liked getting txt msg for weather and closings it was straight to the point, over having to open application waiting for it to load which takes a while and then having figure out where I need to go to see why I had a notification.

N70%
by N####:

Annoying ad every time I open app, weather alerts don't open in app anymore it's ridiculous. I don't receive any weather notifications anymore either

X70%
by X####:

There's a loud sound every time something is updated and then you have to click an ad closed to view news.

N70%
by N####:

When there is a severe weather warning, I should not have to click through Ads to see it. More Ads then news. Uninstalled
