I liked my favorite local station's original weather app better. This one isn't really anything to write home about. When I click the 7 day forecast link, it usually isn't updated. I miss the outside temp posted to my phones banner. The 9 hr max on the weather radar is a joke. A 9 hr lead, doesn't allow for long term planning. High wind/tornadic indicators aren't available. There aren't enough map options available. I like that I can add many locations to my favorites list within the app.

This was a great tool up until the last update. Now the local cast loads a bunch of code and the radar will not load at all. I used the radar during storms to make driving decisions and to see how much longer the storm would be over my location. Now it only shows the written hi/lo forecast for the week. Very useless app now.

After first update video forecast got stuck in loop and would time out. Main reason I got app was to see video forecast forced to have to use other local station app because does their app does not have problems with app. Programer of app needs to work the bugs out. Too much java script running in background. MThomason.

If I wanted to take the time to 'read' the weather I'd pick up a newspaper... if I had the time to sit down and 'watch' the weather I turn on the TV! I however like the majority of you, want to watch my weather on the Fly thank you very much! This is a worthless app! The live cast portion of this, is not updated enough to be accurate when it 'does' load n my phone!

Need a new app developer and someone to keep info up to date. This is slow to load, section by section. Just checked the weather video...it's 5:45pm, yet the KING 5 weather video is from 5:05AM! Must want us to go elsewhere for current info.

This program worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 active, but when I upgraded to a Galaxy S7 active, the program will download but will not install. I absolutely love this program, and as an over-the-road trucker, used it multiple times daily. I am absolutely lost without this program. Developers please fix the bug! I would love to have this program back on my phone. It just will not install on my Samsung Galaxy S7 active.
