The KATC app does a great job at giving weather information, is easy to use, however, “chicken little” Rob, gives out warnings and advisories way too often. Recently, thunderstorm hit this area at night, the app and “advisories” woke me up all night long. Yeah, I can turn off the notifications, but, then when theres a real need for it, it’s not there..... use some discretion dude!!!! Just because its going to rain doesn’t mean it will flood, sure, if you issue flood warnings every time it rains you will be right eventually, but, people get tired of the “chicken little” warnings and don’t pay attention...and, that’s a bad thing.
I kept checking this app during hurricane Barry and the wind speed forecast was accurate for my area (25-35mph) Sat-Sunday. Rain forecasting is dependably spotty at best ; ) Although hurricane Barry was not much but a trop storm, people are still shell shocked from the floods of 2016 causing quite an emotional stir. Parents in BR went to a hotel, better than leaving their home in chest deep water in 2016!
The best feature of this app is the radar. It loads quickly and animates wellThe hourly and daily outlook features are not particularly accurate, but I’m sure that’s because this is an app is not a degreed meteorologist….. it is simply widely used set of algorithms.
Only weather app I use to track, temperature, wind etc, whatever you need, it's there. It travels with you anywhere. Just enter the state your in, with the three little bars on the top right corner.
Love this app and its features but lately it spams with the same commercial over and over. I can’t scroll down or click on a feature without the same commercial playing. It’s to the point the app is now unusable. Fix it please.
I can honestly say you’re app is really bad. I get an alert, I go to your app, I don’t get weather—I get your never ending advertisements. I wait to try and see the weather video. I can see it, but it doesn’t play Instead, I get another ad, then another, and another. You must really be hard up for money.
The layout and information of the app are good, but there is a huge annoyance. No matter how I configure the app, I continue to receive annoying, repetitive, and sometimes useless alerts. Today was the last straw. I received a warning that today would be a sunny day! I swear, it’s true. I will be uninstalling this app immediately
Unable to drop pins, have to let them follow you, I actually received a “lightning has been detected in your area” message at 5 am! Deleted the app. Until there’s an update to the app.
This app never shuts up literally every 3 to 4 minutes it comes on with the most annoying voice even sometimes it has nothing to do with my area make it stop!!!
Received a heat alert at 3:30am this morning. I can’t set the app to receive alerts because it disturbs my sleep, otherwise it’s a decent app. Please, fix it KATC.
