Ratings and reviews

This is accurate enough, may be good to supplement it with news channels or live radio broadcasts. I watch the local news while viewing the app, and it is accurate enough to predict tornado warnings in effect as well as a good general area and path of the tornado. Can be a bit much on the screen if you have all the notifications in effect; however, it can be localized to specific ones if you want. TL;DR. Recommend it if you live in high disaster areas. Good supplement with live broadcasts.

I had no issues with this app until the recent update. The live stream video stream times out after the ad. I think the longest I have got after the ad is like 30 seconds. I thought it was just my phone messing up but after reading another comment with same issues it's concerning. Especially if there is serious weather happening I need to be able to trust that it will work properly. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Other than that the app is awesome!!

I rely on this app a lot. There are many options to customize what you see and when. I've been tempted to try the apps of the other main local news stations, but I love the folks at KFOR and the WX team ESPECIALLY, so I haven't given the other apps a chance. Last year, Mike Morgan's voice came out of my back pocket warning of high winds in the area and some one commented how neat that was. They recognized his voice. I told them that he's not as tall as he appears in real life! LOL
