5/5KPLC ALWAYS
I lived in Sulphur for about 11 years. I left family there and it grew, so I still visit often. I now live in Bayou Chicot (Evangeline parish) I’ve always listen to KPLC & still is my go to for weather reports and updates. Sue Forman

4/5No longer my favorite
Have always enjoyed KPLC cell apps. Used to b able to get feeds no matter how bad the weather was, unfortunately - no longer. Liked the earlier version better.

3/5Bad Track Record
I love the weather forecast, but the accuracy and ability to warn me of impending bad weather problems has been a disappointment. For instance, just recently, high, 90 mile per hour winds, was a day late. These kinds of misses, along with rain or no rain can be awkward.

5/5Great app with one small technical issue
Love this app. I get accurate weather and alerts for my location wherever I am, anywhere in the contiguous US. However, recently, when I leave the app in the background and return to it, the radar doesn’t load. I have to close, then reopen the app to see the weather radar.

1/5Radar is never accurate
Every time I pull up the radar for weather, it will not show any rain on top of my area, but it will be pouring. Sometimes it only shows a lightning bolt and will be pouring. When it does show rain over my area, it’s clear. I know you can do better than this when other radars show it correctly. Also, when you put it in motion, it will only show it moving for a few hours and then freezes while the bar at the bottom is still moving.
