KSAT 12 Weather Authority

While changes can be good and often necessary, that hasn't been the case or experience with the revamped app. Almost everything about the previous version was much more user-friendly including the various radar maps. For one, the app could be viewed in portrait or landscape mode, which is a big deal when using the app on a tablet. The newest version does not allow this on an iPad. The layout was far more easier to navigate overall and less condensed; live newscast updates and important weather alerts were at the top followed by daily, hourly and weekly forecasts, pollen counts, etc., which were displayed in a way that appeared better organized whereas now everything just seems very compacted, cluttered, and thrown together. With weather updates, the user is practically directed to the website within the app versus providing the updates directly on the app. The older radar maps were simplistic yet functional and very reliable, and less difficult to navigate. This version is just all-around buggy and needs reworking.

The update is AWFUL. In order to see the weather you have to click a thin blue banner which is hard to press. The weather moves horizontally instead of vertically and I just find it not at all intuitive. The actual weather portion is accurate and I appreciate, which is why I use it, but it's not fun to use.

Use to use the app but I don’t like the new design. I liked the old interface. Deleted it yesterday.

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 radar is worthless. It stops at whatever the current picture is, then moves those splashes of color in the same configuration across the screen. Weather doesn’t work that way! What you had before was a little better. If I want future cast radar, now I go to an unsupported Dallas weather app that’s much better than yours. Maybe I should just use that app instead rather than continuing to wait for you to fix yours. Shame really that I can’t use my local app for good information.

The new version of the app is not user friendly. You have to toggle to the different options instead of just having it right there when you open the app. And now I cannot look at anything in the app without my screen continually going blank to try and start a video ad.

Not sure what tech they’re using for this app, but I’m sure it’s shared with a ton of other channels. it keeps going from bad to worse with every recent change. The only good thing is the actual weather map itself. The navigation/UX layout is garbage, video playback at full screen is janky, ad interstitials don’t even play and can’t be dismissed. But that’s ok for users because the content jumps out of its frame and still can be played anyways without seeing the ad. If I paid for these ads I’d be… The devs really don’t know what they’re doing on the iOS platform.

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

The latest changes make the weather app very difficult to navigate, read & avoid 900 pop up video ads.

So many pop ups and not user friendly.

Until a few months ago, this app was excellent. Now I never use it. It is not intuitive at all. Before I could readily see & access what I was looking for. Not so much now. And no more landscape mode? I keep checking back to see if y’all have fixed it, but it just seems to get worse & worse. I love KSAT, but this app has gone from 5-star to awful in the last few months.
