KSAT 12 Weather Authority

New layout for the app makes me not want to use it

I like your old weather app. At least I could look at all my locations that I go to and get a weather report. It’s terrible when you have two homes, especially one in Port Aransas, Texas whoever dream this app up you totally forgot about older people. It was strictly for younger generations and it’s not for us older people to try to understand I will try to find my weather report somewhere else thank you.

UPDATE: FIRST TIME IN WELL OVER 10 YEARS THIS AP WILL NOT BE ON MY FAMILY & BUISNESS PHONES ! NEW DESIGN IS JUST TOO BUGGY, UNRELIABLE, & STATION OWNERS JUST DONT APPARENTLY CARE. Here are just a few issues with this new design. JUST FIND A DIFFERENT WEATHER SOURCE. THIS ONE IS SPENT ! First design is clunky! Dropped frames latency in apps. emphasis on adds and NOT WEATHER! Loaded with cookies and trackers. In a time where people want more privacy you load it down with cookies and trackers. You no longer allow the addition of “Community’s”. which totally excludes those of us that travel or that do not use the ap IN San Antonio. There are places I travel that I before could get a local report now you have me getting a location and report in a totally different biome over an hour away by plane! You didn't port ANY of our info from the old ap! You added an overlay feature to see power outages?! Nobody asked for that ? People could just got to those sites. These changes are dumb they are bad and need to be rethought ! Your hurricane ap is messed up too now btw. Whoever approved these changes and thought it was a good idea to change what WAS NOT broke really shouldn't be allowed to even go unescorted even to the lavatory ever again!

I use this app daily; often several times a day when rain or inclimate weather is headed my way. 90% of that use was to track precipitation and storm activity down to the street level of friends an family across the countr. . The new radar interface has been dumbed down to the point of ridiculous and looks like a child’s radar map. It is drab, no matter how you set it. The location pins are too large and there is no way to set one pin at a time for display. If you have several favorites defined, you have have all of them displayed with their big obtrusive bubbles or none. Although we have a powerful hurricane headed in our direction, you cannot see it reflected on the map unless you have it set to shoe the satellite version, then you only see clouds. If you looked at the radar set on national map in this app, it looks like the Caribbean an the gulf are free of storms. I do love all of Ksats weather folks, and they do a great job, but I don’t have time to sit and listen and watch. I need a robust radar map that I can do a quick check to see what is coming and from where. This new map is useless to me. I will be looking for an alternative.

This app used to be great. I’ve been trying to get used to the redesign, but it’s just clunky. Before, I could open it and immediately see what I wanted to know. Not it takes a couple of clicks and some searching to find what I want and no matter what I try in my settings, I don’t get notifications anymore. This is terrible.

Terrible. Why in the world did you break this app??

Please revert back

I use this app every day. It used to be so much nicer with everything right there on one page. Now, you have to click several screens to get to what you want, and the Pollen Count never updates correctly (which is one of the main reasons I liked the original app). Please fix this!!

I used to love this app, it was the first thing I looked at in the morning. I used to be able to get a Quick Look at what was going on with the weather and then quickly dive into details if I needed radar etc. now there is sooo much clutter I have to search and scroll, fight through videos and eventually just give up. My biggest dislike is now it is only on portrait mode. I use it with a laptop mostly and have to rotate the pad on top of the power cord. Bad design!

I have never seen a new update to be so horrible. Definitely not user friendly. Not eye catching. Not smooth. When you want information it opens several screens to get you there
