1. [R5] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 4/5 · US Best app. for local and national news: This is my number 1 app to keep abreast of the most updated news and events locally, Statewide and Nationally. It’s easy to manage and maneuver
2. [R8] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 5/5 · US The best app ever!!!: I check my phone before i turn on my TV,when news breaks I’m the first to inform my coworkers. Thanks 👁 witness news
3. [R25] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 2/5 · US This website needs to be better: Should be much more update on local news that matters. Any headline more than 12 hrs old is no longer news. You need to step it up.
4. [R38] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 5/5 · US News: Very informative.
5. [R12] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US Too many notifications!: 90% of the app seems like it’s about the weather over and over and over and over. It’s never what they say will be so I don’t understand why they HAR it so many times even on the 30 minutes of newscast it’s weather five minutes something else five minutes something else weather I mean how much weather do we need? Everybody has the app if we want to get the weather it’s ove
6. [R23] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 5/5 · US I like the ...: I like the frequent news and weather pop-up notifications I get from Channel 13. And Channel 13's notifications always pop up first.
7. [R24] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US New app: RADAR is too small. Old version landscape was larger and you could see it better. This version the map stays small when you turn your phone.
8. [R64] 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
9. [R2] 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.
10. [R3] 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.
11. [R4] 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.
12. [R13] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 1/5 · US Audio: No other app has the issue but the audio is not synched up with what they are saying
13. [R17] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 5/5 · US You need some help with your ap: It DOESNT work!!!!!! It just sits there. My phone and apps are up to date! It’s not me, it’s you!
14. [R20] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 5/5 · US Terrible app- able to all nbc and cbs without a problem. Your app does not work on I phone???: Your does not work- able to get all news on my I phone but your message says no internet. What give?
15. [R21] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US News: I have been using and 13 Houston for year's, a few months ago I switch to I phone, now every few days the program locks up and won't do anything, so I delete, and reload, but the problem continues. Can you give me any reason? ……….just saying
16. [R67] 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
17. [R72] 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.
18. [R80] 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?
19. [R84] 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
20. [R88] 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
21. [R89] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Radar: Don’t know what they did with their update but the Weather Radar used to be great but it is useless now. It only shows about an hour or so before the current time and then stops at the current time and no longer shows storms conditions moving forward, as it used to show. Get the Doppler Radar or Houston Weather 26 apps and the Radar will show storms conditions about 1-2 hours forward, so m
22. [R111] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Horrible update: This app used to be fantastic. The new update is so convoluted it’s hard to navigate compared to the last version. Whoever thought this update was good should be fired
23. [R9] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US AP doesn’t seem to keep up with notifications: I get notifications from ABC13 on a regular basis. 99% of the time, when I click on the notification and the APP opens, there is nothing there about what the notification was about…
24. [R15] ABC13 Houston News & Weather 3/5 · US Notifications - improve the target they open: It’s not a good user experience when very specific notifications to the phone screen only open the app when clicked. The expectation for notifications is that they open a target page directly related to the notification so the user doesn’t have to hunt around in the app for the information that brought them to it. Otherwise, app is great!
25. [R79] 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
26. [R91] 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
27. [R101] KPRC 2 Weather 1/5 · US Hate This: I Hate This App Every year we change which app we need for hurricane season and this by far is the worst version. Hideous layout, inconvenient, and not at all thoughtfully planned.
