Ratings and reviews

When this app was originally launched it was great, I downloaded it specifically for the weather. The map was easy to use, it had a play button that you could use to see the movement of a storm. But they "improved" it so much that they removed virtually all control from the user. I now use the WFAA app, where I have more control of the weather map.

I recently switched news apps to the NBC 5 app and I like the format and the fact that they stay current with our local news on the weekends. The reasons for the low rating is because I can't seem to watch videos in full screen mode, videos 7 out of 10 times won't play (error messages), the app crashes and even though I've turned off autoplay in settings the app ignores it and tries to autoplay anyway. If not corrected soon I guess I'll be on the hunt for another news provider app.

Changing my review from 5 to 1 after 3 years. I had this app for 3 years and it was great, my only go-to for weather. Then they ruined it. Now there is ads on top of radar map. They could have left those to the bottom, no right on top of image, can't see all of DFW because of Clay Cooley, who I will never buy a vehicle from now cause they messed with my weather. Uninstalled and went with CBS 11 app. It is now the cleanest useful DFW weather app.
