1. [R15] 5/5 · US Best weather app yet: I’ve tried a lot of different weather apps over time and found that this one is one of the best in design and information all around. Perhaps a little biased towards KSAT after living in San Antonio for a couple of years back in the mid 60’s but a resounding yes to this app. It not only provides me with the weather in and around San Antonio but I also added my current locatio
2. [R196] 5/5 · US KSAT-12 Weather App: Much Better than Weather Channel App, or any others! Precise and Accurate!
3. [R199] 5/5 · US Great app: This app is right on. If I want to see what the weather is going to be for the day this is the number 1 app.
4. [R210] 5/5 · US Weather: Great outlook of current and future weather. Outstanding analysis on probabilities and statistical weather reports.
5. [R190] 5/5 · US Love this APP & all the meteorologists: So glad I finally got this app. If I get busy and miss the news(which I hate to do), I can read the updates throughout the day. I’m a Houston transplant. Humidity finally got to us! We are retired and LOVE the hill country beauty. Keep up the great work.
6. [R195] 4/5 · US KSAT12 is amazing!: KSAT12 is always on top of things! Thank you for giving updates and sharing the weather with all of us San Antonians.
7. [R214] 5/5 · US Blown Away: This is my first time writing a review for an app and I had to go to AppStore and search. I really like having the daily notifications and the personalization from your staff and the funny/unique San Antonio commentary around the weather. I love getting the notifications to with what’s approaching weather wise and advisories. Tbh best weather app out there for my city.
8. [R216] 5/5 · US Love this app: I’m like the live updates especially during late or early mornings hours about the severe weather Adam is awesome at explaining everything about why this is happening and what is gonna happen.
9. [R212] 5/5 · US Anywhere you are.: I love that it tracks the weather wherever you are.
10. [R227] 5/5 · US Play by play: Tha app is amazing! I love how it has multiple functions with radar and weather news content that allows for tracking of the weather in whatever location I am in.
11. [R242] 5/5 · US Great app, not Just for San Antonio: Love the Doppler radar feature. I use the app wherever I am, whether at home in San Antonio or traveling. It has useful notifications too.
12. [R1] 1/5 · US Icons and view is incredibly large. You can’t see it.: The app changed about a week ago and suddenly when you open it, it is massive huge you can’t even see two other days at a time!!! This app is absolutely worthless!!!
13. [R3] 3/5 · US Unusable for me: The inability to use landscape mode, or enlarge the window for iPad use makes it difficult to use. I liked the layout, but now it’s just too cumbersome and hard to use.
14. [R16] 1/5 · US Terrible: Unfortunately after the update this app has never worked properly. I like using the radar and it is TERRIBLE now. The app is also not user friendly and hard to navigate. I will be having to download a different one for reliability and usability.
15. [R18] 2/5 · US New version IS TERRIBLE: I don’t know why they changed the app but ever since they switched over to this new version it is HORRIBLE. the old version has way better functionality. I hate having to wait after a random ad that I can’t physically skip because the button won’t work before the weather update. I also can’t turn off the captions on the videos which get in the way of the actual video. Ever
16. [R5] 1/5 · US Toooooo many ads: I’ve had the app for several months and while it does offer “some” helpful information, the ads are so bothersome. You can’t touch any portion of your screen without hitting them. Very frustrating. I can look up weather info myself w/o soliciting advertisements.
17. [R7] 1/5 · US ADS ADS AND MORE ADS!: KSAT should be ashamed of itself. All these ridiculous ads that pop up when you’re trying to get real update weather info. They are never right ANYWAY… instead I use a Magic 8 ball.
18. [R13] 1/5 · US So used to be better: Nobody wants to check the weather real quick only to have to wait for a 2 minutes ad EVERY SINGLE TIME. This app used to be much much better. I’m about to delete it.
19. [R14] 1/5 · US Just nope…: All the adds that you can’t click out of make it unbearable to deal with. Just decided to delete it I’ll get my weather news elsewhere.
20. [R8] 3/5 · US Radar issues? Just me?: I can no longer see radar a couple of hours into the future using the KSAT weather app. The only option I have is the last 24 hours ending with right now-this minute. When I looked in settings, it didn’t give me an option to look at say, the next couple of hours to see if it’s gonna rain so I know to pack an umbrella. In other words, this app is almost useless to me now and
21. [R9] 1/5 · US Terrible Radar: You know that old saying: Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke? Yeah. You did that. I absolutely abhor the recent version.
22. [R10] 1/5 · US Radar loop: All of a sudden I do not have the radar loop. What happened???
23. [R11] 1/5 · US Amateur hour: This is one of the worst written apps I’ve ever used. Scrolling panes aren’t correctly synchronized so it’s easily possible that the weather shown doesn’t match the location shown. The home page of the app is cluttered and mostly filled with ads. The weather radar pane is vastly inferior to KSATs web site and its future projections are a joke. KSAT used to have a good weather app but
24. [R2] 1/5 · US Widgets are inaccurate.: And I hate that it forces my music to turn off whenever I open it…like no, I don’t also want the broadcast version of whatever I’m currently reading on the app.
25. [R200] 4/5 · US Great app but ...: On my iPhone 13PM the widget I set using this app continually crashes and closes. I'd give 5 stars if this was fixed. I like seeing the hourly forecast on my home screen, but this app doesn't stay open more than a hour after I add a widget.
26. [R203] 4/5 · US Love the Local info! But widget disappears nighly: I only use this because it has the best information for local weather. You can’t trust the computer generated apps. But the widget a has to be replaced every night. Please fix this! Thanks!
27. [R206] 3/5 · US Ios 17 update: The latest IOS update is causing glitches with the KSAT widget. The temperature only shows as three dots instead of the number, almost as if it’s too wide now for the space, and any KSAT widget disappears randomly and needs to be re-added each time.
28. [R12] 2/5 · US In serious need of improvements: This app has been my go-to for local weather for quite some time. However, the revamping of the app several months ago (editing this review as June 4, 2025, though the xperience still remains the same) hasn't made the experience very pleasant. Almost everything about the older format version was much more user-friendly including the various radar maps. For one, the
29. [R28] 1/5 · US New version has ruined this app: Somewhere along the line a major update revised this app and NOT for the better. There are no guides to use. According to the article online it’s supposed to be easy. Is that why the Ask Support button in the App Store is useless? Obviously whoever approved the changes doesn’t use the app. How do you remove custom locations you no longer want? The future cast
30. [R72] 3/5 · US No option to delete custom locations: Please add an option to delete custom location. Currently, when a location is added, there is not a way to delete the location if you no longer want that location in your custom group.
31. [R73] 3/5 · US Was better before: Since they completely changed the look of the app now once you click on a feature like the video weather updates there’s no way to return back to the main screen. This needs a close button in the corner or something. I have to completely exit out of the app and swipe it away just to go back the main screen. Please fix
32. [R92] 3/5 · US Update not good: Please go back to the old format…this format is not user friendly. Can’t get out of radar or video update without clicking drop down menu. Icons on the bottom of the screen were much easier to navigate. Not a fan of the radar either .. I liked the loop - this one doesn’t loop???
33. [R19] 1/5 · US The newest update stinks!: Like others, I am not happy with this iteration of this app. Change it back! Don’t fix what is not broken.
34. [R25] 1/5 · US Update: I really don’t like the overall change of the app. I wish I could uninstall the recent updates. Considering uninstalling and finding a new weather app. I’m very sad about this because I love the meteorologists and I’ve had this app for I would say close to 10 years. I’ve always been open to change but this update looks messy and cluttered. It’s also difficult to navigate which is crazy bec
35. [R30] 1/5 · US New app: With the new update on the weather app, it is by far the worse ever. The functions are horrible compared to the old application. Bring the old one back please
36. [R135] 4/5 · US The update is horrible: This was my favorite weather app but the update you just did makes it difficult to use and the radar is so bizarre looking now. Please change it back!
37. [R23] 1/5 · US Blocking Advertisements: I don’t mind advertisements on the bottom or side or have a top banner showing this but to use an advertisement that blocks your entire view of the weather is aggravating. I would think that weather new is a priority rather than a full page advertisement.
38. [R209] 4/5 · US Widget doesn’t work: This would be a 10-star app if the widget didn’t keep disappearing from the Home Screen. Please explore/fix this problem, KSAT.
