KPRC 2 Storm Tracker Weather 4+

The KPRC 2 weather app is far superior to the app included with the iPhone. The ability to easily see the weather radar, and zoom in and out on it lets me accurately predict rain for my exact location for the next hour or two. And the ability to turn on/off layers such as lightning strikes is also a great feature.

I also have a few other locations across the country as favorites, allowing me to quickly see the weather in remote locations where my daughters live.

Update-I am once again going to express my extreme disappointment with this app. It is so chock full of ads is barely usable. I’m angry that you’ve taken a locally loved application and turned it into a corporate ad generating machine. You’ve lost all of my respect by not listening to the NUMEROUS responses to this poorly developed app with very little usability in mind for folks who really rely on this for their local weather news.

The updated app is such a disappointment. It’s filled with advertisements, the screens are too busy and visually overwhelming. I get notifications to my phone and when I click on them they open to the alerts page where it says no alerts today. I’m not even sure what the app is notifying me of. It’s useless distraction now, instead of helpful local weather information I don’t get the written forecast from the meteorologists like I did before. Its not always convenient to watch a video and the small weather summary was my main use for the app. And this removed my primary means of tracking daily weather It was my favorite weather app, because it was local and gave me something no other app did. Now it’s like all the others. It’s a big let down. Channel 2 has always been my go to for local news and weather. This just feels like it’s lost its way.

w t h happened?! woke up this morning to an available update for this weather app, right before we’re to expect significant rain etc. from tropical storm, & so I thought to go ahead with update so I would be better prepared. BIG MISTAKE! everything’s changed, & not for the better. No longer able to find+read weather update post, or navigate to different sections using icon bar at bottom of screen, radar is a joke now devolving into a cheap 2D map where any little touch either completely stops motion that i have to then press play to start again or it thinks I want specific weather info for a spot it thinks i pinned on the map. where did satellite map go? why can’t i at least zoom in & out & pan area without having radar stop motion & force me to waste precious time having to press play constantly?! the homepage is one big hub for 3rd party advertisers now, “video forecast” launches 30sec ad before playing yesterday’s “update”. like, CMON! who approved this?! this layout is NOT user friendly & is a giant let down for those of us who have been relying on it during storm events for ease of use & convenient radar updates. PLEASE FIX NOW. I’m having to look to competing weather apps & news stations for something better because this is a HUGE disappointment to put it mildly.
