1. [R1] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Beansiesdaddy: This version of the app crashes constantly
2. [R10] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Won’t even open on iPhone 16 with IOS 26: The app won’t even open. I have always had problems with it crashing, but after upgrade to IOS 26, the KPRC weather app won’t even open. It gets to the welcome screen and then disappears.
3. [R42] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US New app: App doesn’t open
4. [R7] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Horrible Now: Deleted! Re-uploaded after last deletion and staying away. Now way way too many ads and they take up the entire screen plus my virus protection often blocks and/or warns on these ad websites also some cause my camera to engage. Too bad - deleted forever now
5. [R12] KPRC 2 Weather 3/5 · US Bring the old version back please!: The update that just happened this spring is not great. The new look for the user interface is confusing and clunky to navigate, the new radar seems to have poorer quality and full screen pop up ads with countdowns before you can exit out of them seem to be more frequent. At least to local weather notifications and alerts still seem to function the same.
6. [R20] KPRC 2 Weather 5/5 · US New Weather: Sorry the radar you use to have was better. And all the ads you have to go through to get what you are looking forREALLY?
7. [R22] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Don't waste your time!: Update: tried once more tonight during severe weather. Could not get past the repeated ads to look at the radar. Deleted it from my phone. Do not waste your time. It's a money grabber - not a lifesaver! This was a strong app when Frank Billingsley was still there. Now it's awful and full of ads to get to anything important, like the radar. Not worth the wasted time when th
8. [R5] KPRC 2 Weather 4/5 · US Latest Update Fixed Radar Issue: *****Update*** 7/22/25 Latest update has fixed radar issue! Thank you KPRC 2 & developers for listening to your users! ******Update 6/22/25 update released 2 weeks ago ruined Radar feature of app. It lingers thru past & stops at NOW! So you now have no way to see where storm may be heading. This makes the app useless to me as I used it multiple times a day during s
9. [R8] KPRC 2 Weather 5/5 · US Bad Radar: Latest update has horrible radar.
10. [R15] KPRC 2 Weather 3/5 · US Delayed radar: Your radar map is lagging minutes behind and only showing rain after it’s happened. I miss the old app
11. [R17] KPRC 2 Weather 4/5 · US Bring Back Previous Radar, Please: I have always used this app as my primary resource for local weather. Some of the new updates are beneficial but I really enjoyed the previous version of the radar. It provided a better experience, and with the optional overlays, such as FutureCast, it was much more useful and projected further into the future. Current radar appears almost cartoonish. Thanks!
12. [R4] KPRC 2 Weather 2/5 · US The worst forecasting: How this app has so many five stars is beyond me. Must be paid reviews because the KPRC weather guy, Anthony Yáñez, rarely gets the forecast right. As I sit here typing this, the app says 20% chance of rain all day yet it’s storming at my house. Last night, Yanez said the rain would be gone by 4 am yet here we are at 9:15 am with thunder and pouring rain. If I did my job as
13. [R18] KPRC 2 Weather 3/5 · US Disappointed: This new version could have used a tutorial. Took me days to figure it out. I don’t like the new radar map. Today the app says we have a 20% chance of rain all day and my husband’s app (old version) says we have a 71% chance! Hmm… which one do we go by? This is the reason I can’t give a better rating. When you fix one of the apps to sync with the other to give the exact same
14. [R21] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Worst: This app used to be accurate but now is not even close. When you switch between cities it often shows weather for the wrong one. I know it’s not just me because it is the same problem on my spouse’s phone. Just stick with the app that came on your phone or WeatherBug.
15. [R14] KPRC 2 Weather 5/5 · US Hate it!!: Worst update ever. New style and design is useless. Has a razor thin bar to select what should/used to be in a menu. You can barely select what you want. The 10 day forecast is now horizontal so it doesn’t even fit in the screen. The whole update is just dumb and useless.
16. [R16] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Latest Update: Do not care for update….cannot type in location! Have to go to stupid map and find city on map by enlarging map….Useless and time consuming Very confusing to use and will probably delete Why did y’all ruin a good thing!!!!!!
17. [R6] KPRC 2 Weather 3/5 · US Screen Orientation: App doesn’t detect my iPad’s landscape (widescreen) orientation and rotates to portrait (vertical) as soon as it opens. Displays everything sideways! Been a problem since the new version was released. Fix it!
18. [R9] KPRC 2 Weather 3/5 · US Add Quick Access to Humidity Please: Opening page is a visual scramble. And I’d like to see the humidity or dew point or wet bulb figures. If they are there I cannot easily find them. Thanks
19. [R11] KPRC 2 Weather 4/5 · US Please add landscape mode for iPad: When the app opens, it shows briefly in landscape mode and immediately converts to portrait mode. iPad is set up to change mode as I turn iPad different directions and works on all other apps, but not this one
20. [R13] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Annoying notifications from meteorologists: The app is great for providing alerts when weather changes in your area and gives you a quick access to the forecast. But every day you’ll get these alerts from the meteorologist. There isn’t a way to turn it off without turning off all alerts. Expect to get them as early as 7:00 am.
21. [R19] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Hurricanes: Terrible place to get real time info. Old app was much better and user friendly. Looking for a new app for hurricanes so I can stay better informed
22. [R23] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Complicated: I liked it before it was updated. It was easy to use. This latest version is a big mess. Can’t see the path of the hurricane because of the subtitles etc.
23. [R26] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Why?: You took a great app and destroyed it. Used to be my go to hurricane tracker, now it is unusable. Filled with ads and watered down by combining countless other weather nonsense. If you’re looking for a good hurricane tracker, like this used to be, go somewhere else. This is no longer it. Very disappointed. You lost a longtime user and advocate. Don’t trust the 4.8 rating, that was the old ve
24. [R29] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Won’t help when you need it most: Terribly complicated and confusing. Not easy to use during critical times like when a hurricane is on its way to Houston. On a clear bright sunny day you’ll have time to figure out how to use the app. But when it’s seriously scary weather, just don’t bother with this app. Find an app that can give you the quickest and most accurate weather info in an easy to use a
25. [R51] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Latest iTunes app update CRASHES!: Scrolling to the right (right arrow) to see more than the next 10 hours now CRASHES you out of the app! Good job developers!
26. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Wonderful help tool: Helps me make plans... and keep up with family and friends all over the world, as well as Local on the 8’s.
27. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US To many ads: The whole ad thing started not to long ago. I get it. That’s how you make money. When you go none to some it’s an annoyance.
28. [R54] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Needs updating: Why when I am at work does it say that I am at home? And when I am at home, it says I am at work? I have it set to know where it is at all times
29. [R65] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 2/5 · US Need help please: I’m in Wichita and it says a different town
30. [R66] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 5/5 · US My Dadar: Great app I have used the free version and it’s very good but I’am upgrading for more coverage.
31. [R67] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 3/5 · US Rancher: Minute to minute must have weather updates!!! Life saver..
32. [R68] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 2/5 · US Does this happen to anyone else?: I saw a lot of people using this app and wanted to try it for myself. It worked for like the first day i used it, but then it showed what has happened like an hour or 30 minutes all the way up to a few minutes ago. This app kind of sucks. You should fix it so people can actually SEE the forecast. Other than that tho great app i like the weather conditions and anim
33. [R79] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 2/5 · US Testing: Testing
34. [R80] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 4/5 · US Opening app: Every time I get a notification about an updated story I click on it that seems very interesting and it does not go to that story. Very disappointing.
35. [R81] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US Notifications are not linked: It is so frustrating when a notification shows up on my phone, hit the link, but it only opens your app. The notification should take you to the article mentioned in the notification. Then I search and search and can never find the article. Waste of my time trying to use your app.
36. [R82] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 1/5 · US New update: Just terrible since the new update. Can only see past or future. No longer both combined. Going backwards.
37. [R93] KPRC 2 News 1/5 · US Review: Your news is mainly from AP which is too liberal
38. [R94] KPRC 2 News 5/5 · US Best news ever,: I’ve been a fan for 65 years! KPRC has the best reporters the most detailed reporting and doesn’t leave the viewers wandering as to what the hidden facts of a story may be I find it better than watching the others
39. [R95] KPRC 2 News 3/5 · US Houston: The commercial y’all are running.
40. [R96] KPRC 2 News 1/5 · US Show me the story: When you send a notification I shouldn't have to search for it when I tap on the notification 😡
41. [R107] First Alert 4 Weather 2/5 · US Conflicting information, ad prioritized: Could literally be dangerous in bad weather that the advertising sponsor takes up the entire screen so long. (Duh, just have the ad at the top or bottom of the screen continuously.) And regular future radar and 24-hr radar conflict, even in the supposed current status.
42. [R108] First Alert 4 Weather 5/5 · US Undisputed: Steve Templeton is the GOAT
43. [R109] First Alert 4 Weather 3/5 · US Allergy Forecast: It would be helpful to include an allergy forecast.
44. [R110] First Alert 4 Weather 1/5 · US Not working: Always shows 77* when it’s at least 90* out. Used to be great but it needs looked at now
45. [R56] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Pop ups: My only complaint is the pop-ups
46. [R60] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US 90% Ads 10% Weather. Going back to Apple weather.: Absolutely horrible now. If you love endless adds taking up half the screen and popping up full screen forcing you to watch, then this is the app for you. It’s gotten so bad now that I’m going back to Apple weather. It chews up your data n sits there loading ads before everything shows up (so if you have minimal service, it takes forever beca
47. [R62] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US If not for the adds: Love the app. Hate the billboard size ads that pop up every time I touch anything. It’s super annoying.
48. [R78] MyRadar Accurate Weather Radar 1/5 · US New paywall: Looks like they put an oversized paywall on the app and it’s no longer usable for free. Uninstalled, will just use freebie websites now. It looks like it also contains known tracking spyware too.
