The weather on the app never matches the Forcast. The radar is also unreliable.

The new autoplay video ads are terrible. Even if my phone is on mute they will play over the speakers. There is no warning before the video starts.

I prefer getting my weather from local sources. That's why I use this app. However, other weather apps will include the predicted "feels like" temps in their hourly forecasts and this one does not. Also, it can be glitchy. At times, when it opens all the weather info is missing. I either have to wait for it to load or I have to back out completely and start again. I would probably give this so five stars if these two things were fixed.

TORNADO WARNING AND MY APP DIDN'T SAY SO. My Google weather alerted me as well as the TV. While my family and I were in the shelter just now, my app still said severe thunderstorm warning. Sirens were going off in town, too. That's the first time my app didn't alert me. THAT'S DANGEROUS! FIX THIS NOW!

Would be better if showed the local stations actual forecast. Mostly just a weather channel clone. If you have the weather channel app this gives you the exact same forecast.

Edit 4/16/21: Thank you so much for fixing the video part of the app!! It is finally working again after almost a year. So thankful to be able to view the Fox 4 KC weather teams broadcasts again! 😊 I have loved this app for a long time, and I depend on seeing the video broadcasts as I usually don't have a chance to watch on TV. But, now the videos won't play. Please fix!

Edit: 5 stars- Video player is fixed and makes this app great. It's perfect for KCMO forecast, radar, and warnings. Old: 3 stars- Only good for daily and hourly forecast and radar. Video player in the app only plays the ads.

This app is absolute garbage. The weather video doesn't play, it only plays the advertisement. It's been broken for over a year with no fix. Get the KMBC app instead. At least it works.

Sadly, what ever update/upgrade has rendered the video portion useless. An uninstall, total reboot and new app download did not work. Beyond disappointed, this was my go to weather source.Update, a new year I hoped for the weather video to play, but still nothing. It's a new year, I'm changing apps.
