| 2024-11-03 |  | | App is faulty. It only allows you to select location permission all the time for it to work properly. If you select location permission only while using the app it will keep resetting and asking the question over and over again until you click allow permission all the time. So I have to go into my settings and turn off the location permission every time I'm done with the app. |
| 2024-07-17 |  | | Only making this complaint this way because app freezes up when I go to email support. I just wanted to give feedback. When I go to the radar section it should automatically use the last data filter that I used. It's extremely frustrating to get on the radar and for it to go to a different filter than I want. It used to stay on the last filter used. I would prefer that it go back to being that way |
| 2024-07-03 |  | | It works fine until it gives a message update is available. So I go to the play store, there's nothing about a new update. Newest update was in January. So I open it and guess what. 90% of the information is gone. What's there is the temperatures and radar. EXCEPT they won't open. I don't know who writes updates are available when yes, 6 months ago, not now. If it wasn't for news 9 weather team, I would trash this app. It's what I use on the go, or the power goes out due to a storm |
| 2024-02-12 |  | | Used to be my go-to local weather app. They've updated some of the functionality and it just doesn't work very smoothly anymore. I always have to reject permission requests and the app hangs on start frequently, even after reboots and reinstalls. If they just rolled it beck to its previous iteration that would be ideal. |
| 2023-09-23 |  | | This has always been my go to weather app. I like that I'm able to turn on or off notifications for certain weather conditions. I really love that you can set custom locations so you can keep an eye on the weather in different locations. Really convenient since I'm the one everybody calls for updates on the weather. And you can set a custom location for your own area in case you aren't home and your location moves away from it. Super convenient and easy to navigate. |
| 2023-03-12 |  | | Once again. With the last update has caused an error message that states I need an active connection to the internet. My phone is always on Wi-Fi or on cell service. So why am I getting this error message It is so frustrating. Loved this app until the update, now it will only open once, then I have to restart my phone for it to open again. Fix please so I can love this app again. |
| 2022-09-08 |  | | New format is awful. The radar screen looks like a cartoon, even though there is a scroll bar below the daily forcast it will not scroll to the right, below that the daily forcast detail description is often partially covered by the next day's date, and I'm sure there's other items but I just can't take the time to write them all down. |
| 2022-05-01 |  | | This app works okay most of the time, but you can't count on the radar when it's lit up with storms. It just won't load. And that's when you want it most! Also, I wish when you opened the radar map that it would zoom to your location. You have to manually move the map. This goes for other Baron based apps as well. Very disappointing, because I like the layers. |
| 2022-04-29 |  | | Tired of long ads popping up every time I try to watch the weather! The worst time this happened was right after I got a tornado warning for my area. It was late at night and I had been sleeping, I tried to tune into the live feed since I dont have TV but all I could see were ads. The tornado alarms were going off nearby but not the ones by me. I had no idea what to expect or when to expect it. Obviously I did go into shelter, but that not knowing was unacceptable. At least put an ad free option |
| 2021-09-14 |  | | Excellent app! All the info I need/want easy to read. Looks good, with nice Oklahoma-looking weather pics. The actual News9 forecast, unlike their old app. But the dang thing shuts down. At first it was every time they issued a warning. Now its real frequent that it just won't open. I hope they can get it fixed, I don't see anything in the app store that I like. . . . Update! Finally it is back to the app that I know and love. I still miss Gary England, but at least I can get a good radar pic here! |
