Ratings and reviews

Kalb Wx is my go-to weather app. I love being able to access weather that is forecast by actual local meteorologists. Their radar is great! I love being able to slow it down and pause or back it up to see exactly when it will be over my location. The one complaint I have with the app is every time I go to open it, I have to wait for an ad to load before I can actually view the forecast. I wish Kalb would offer the option of getting the app as paid and ad-free.

I watch News Channel 5 and I was thrilled when I discovered that they got a weather app. I know that there have been updates over the past few months, but I liked the old design for the map features. Earlier, I could not only zoom in perfectly centered with a double-tap on the screen, but I could also slide the map until I could view the other side of the earth and view minute-by-minute weather phenomena. It even loaded faster. 😕 Could someone please bring the old map back?

Once the new update was installed the weather alerts were gone. You might get on out of the blue. The app has been locking up and not respond. Working outdoors you relay on getting good forecast and app is unreliable. Android user. Updates are not always a good thing.
