5/5Finally! A local app that works!
This app is fantastic. I’ve had all the various national apps and none of them take into account the nuances of local weather patterns. They are clearly just software. This app is not! It is reliable and accurate and has all the information you want. My favorite is the daily tab, that breaks down daytime vs nighttime weather, and the radar function. The only thing I don’t like is that some things are a bit small and hard to read/view, such as the video links on the home page. (Just a bit too much stuff on that home page.) I highly recommend this app to everyone in KC - even fellow Brian Busby loyalists like myself.

4/5Nice but delayed like any other weather app (read review!)
I LOVE LOVE ALL THE OPTIONS but tell me why I went outside and it’s pouring, 15 minutes later “Heavy rain detected near your location” I look outside and I’m excited to see how it could possibly get worse after how much rain I saw, and it’s barely raining, if sprinkling at all! I guess I’m giving it a 4 star review mostly because I was excited to see how much rain there was and got disappointed because of the delay. **Positive note:** Super cool app, I can even see when hails coming which I didn’t find on my other app. The lightning alerts are pretty spot on and I love looking at the lightning in the sky then seeing on the map where it striked?! Uh, super cool. And I even get alerts like lightning is 0.4 miles away from your location and then I get to watch it lol. So the lightning alerts are spot on once again. Otherwise from my small complaint maybe I’ll change it to a 5 when I use the app a little more. I usually don’t leave bad reviews because I feel pretty bad.

I just want to commend you on your continuous coverage of the weather which is not being done on any other station. I really enjoy listening and watching as it unfolds . It’s so much better than watching all the crime and killings everyday. This is a new year and hopefully, a new beginning for KC. Onward and Upward👍♥️❄️🎄☃️cheers to Channel 5 - we love you!

5/5Weather
Some things are for sure. You can’t always get to watch the news and weather on tv but you can always get the latest update on weather with this app. Love being able to check what is going on without commercials interfering.

5/5Makes me feel safe
I love this app. Whether it’s the middle or the night or I’m on the go outdoors; I can always access the weather the radar and any warnings to keep me and my family safe and informed. Thanks for putting this out for us to use channel5!
