KXAN Weather

This is a great app the bad reviews are from old fixed bugs and people that don’t understand how to properly use the app only issue is the ads that sometimes play during severe warnings which for me is whatever I have dozens of other apps, but it’s a bit annoying for people that are trying to get quick information on a storm headed their way. Another thing I will say is that y’all please don’t use this app for your forecast locally in your town/house if you don’t live in Austin because the temperatures forecasted/cloud cover is for Austin unless you live in a few spots out in the Hill Country where it treats it like as if those areas aren’t part of KXAN viewing area and it’s just the generic TWC Info for those spots but do use it for the rain coverage coverage % it’s for area wide not just Austin proper.

I would be embarrassed if I was on KXAN’s weather team, they’re forced to push this app on air. The app is designed poorly and if you do manage to find what you’re looking for you’re going to sit through an ad to get outdated information or see broken radar. I wouldn’t trust this app with my life, despite the repeated on air push to download the app for alerts. If I want up to date information I have to use the actual KXAN website. If it was an emergency and I needed information quickly, I’d be forced to watch an ad for air conditioner repair before I knew if there was a tornado coming down my street. There are a number of free apps that actually work and don’t make you sweat through advertising to get an answer in an emergency. All my sympathy to the staff forced to push the app.

Good weather app, but I wish they would add the allergy forecast. I get that it’s not an allergy app, but it would great to have this addition.

It’s a poor mix of bugs, pop up ads, and head scratching decisions. Why does the radar become incoherent flashes of you don’t hard close the ap after every use? Why did there have to be a pop up Halloween ad every time you looked at certain screens? Why is there a warning red banner for “warm and muggy leading up to the next cold front” today when that should be saved for ACTUAL warning/watch information?

Please fix the radar. Most of the time it’s just out now. Like there's no weather at all on the map….anywhere; especially during a storm when it’s needed the most.

I rely alot on the radar map, ever since the new 24 hr radar came into effect I can’t get the precipitation radar to give me a good view. It just flashes and its rare when it shows a good view of where the storm is or for that matter, traveling. I tried the suggestions of no wifi, no bluetooth and I’ve even deleted and reloaded the app, nothing helps. Like i said it worked well before-on this same phone.

KXAN weather app doesn’t work like it used to. Jerky radar, radar flashes off and on. Just weird. Happened in last 2 weeks and it’s not just me — friends noticing too. We all have iPhones: 11 pro to 14. Sad. We really depended on it with Austin’s crazy weather.

New version stopped working and is frozen between windows. Really not helpful during a storm.

Good app, functions like you’d expect. Just one thing - Since Jim Spencer left KXAN can’t even remotely come close to that’s going to happen with storms, when rain will hit, severity of the storm, duration of the storm. I use to be able to plan my day around what they said would happen, not anymore.

Idk what changed over a year but it use to be a better app. The drag here boxes don’t work at all either.
