5/5Videos take forever to load
I always get weather alerts which is awesome especially during storms but I can rarely get any associated video to load. When I get an alert I end up going to a different site or app to see what is going on.

5/5Most accurate by far
I fish a lot on top of being outside with my wife and two boys all the time so looking at a forecast is part of my daily schedule. No other apps compare for accuracy. Atleast for the warren/Logan/ surrounding cities around here.

1/5Doesn’t Work
I liked going to the news and clicking on the weather. Then they decided you had to have the weather app. I downloaded the weather app but it stopped working, I have gotten a blue blank screen for days. I deleted the weather app and now when I click on the weather via the news it takes me to the App Store to fetch it back from the cloud. I guess I need to find another source for weather.

5/5Weather I can rely on
During our recent tornadoes and winter storms the WBKO weather app alerted me before other weather apps. The data is always spot on! Don’t have to worry. WBKO weather has our back.

Implemented support for active links within video descriptions Fixed an issue on iOS 15 where searching for certain locations would close the app. A bug caused TV Station notifications to be turned off in the previous version of the app. As such we will be turning them back on for any user with alerts enabled. If you do not want the station alerts on, you can turn them off within the settings menu. Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements Removed app store support for iOS 12, users on older operating systems will need to update their operating system to update their apps.
