Consistency problems. The high temps shown in the daily view never match up with the high temps displayed in the hourly view. They are usually off by 5 or so degrees. The hourly view matches all the other weather apps and reports I see. Get your crap together, KSL.

No weather, only commercials. You get an alert, click on it and you absolutely can’t get any information without watching full length advertisements. It’s completely worthless.

Good on phones, bad on tablets. This app has had ongoing issues on a tablet. It will get better briefly and then revert to the same irritating behavior of opening up in landscape for a brief moment and then rotating 90 degrees into portrait. The developers just can’t seem to get it right.

Was my go to- no reliable radar now. Had this app for at least 10 years. Now I watch local news and compare to my app and lately I intermittently don’t get any clouds or rain on my map even when I’m in clouds and rain. What happened? Can’t trust for travel planning anymore. Update: Now posting error message on GPS location regularly.

Location alert glitch. Several times the app has given me an alert for Salt Lake City when I have my home, in TN, selected for alert updates. It happens every few months. It’s confusing and annoying.

Great local weather app!. This is my fav weather app. Easy to use. The future radar prediction is so useful. Even works when you're outside of SLC.

Needed the update. The app was definitely in need of more than just a standard behind the scenes update, so thanks for that! But... it now takes roughly 20 seconds for the app to load. About 10 seconds slower than the previous version. If that gets fixed then I'd bump into the rating for sure.

Buggy and air quality feature doesn’t work. This used to be a good app but time elapse precipitation map crashes occasionally. The air quality feature used to work but no longer works. Can’t get it to display anything. Running latest iOS on iPhone 12

Nice picture, app doesn’t work. Nice update, just in time for Christmas. App doesn’t work, just shows the home picture. I rely on this for snow removal. Not much good when It doesn’t work. Maybe check it out before you release a new app. Especially before the biggest travel time of the season. Major disappointment!

Not what it used to be. This was my go to weather app. Now isn’t loading properly and useless. They’ve added a bunch of useless stuff. We want accurate forecast by hour and good radar that’s about it. Please fix

Update: Put it back the way it was!. UPDATE: Zooming (very) quickly from the national view to the local view is not any better. It actually kinda makes me dizzy. Why can’t you put it back the way it was? Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a good way to submit feedback. I have used this app for many years, it’s the one I go to first when I want to know about local weather. However… this latest issue with the map ALWAYS opening up to the whole United States is more than a little annoying. When I open the app, Every. Single. Time. I have to go to the pull-down menu and reset the view to my location. Please fix this! It’s driving me nuts.

Ads with sound but no mute. This used to be a great app years ago but each iteration is worse than the previous. Now I get weather alerts but when I go to check it I get a video ad that I can't mute. So if I'm in a situation where I can't have an ad blaring then I go to another weather app. I've finally just started going to the other weather apps before KSL. I also go to other apps now because KSL is slow and bloated. It's too bad that they ruined a perfectly good app with greed and incompetence.

Terrible customer response. I typically, in the past, have used this app everyday for many years and have been very pleased with most of its contents. However, when I downloaded the latest update several months ago it quit working on my iPhone but still works on my iPad? I sent an email to customer service two or three weeks ago and I haven’t received any type of response to the issue nor have I seen any update to the app during this same time period... If and when the problem is fixed I will upgrade my rating!

Curious. I am just curious as to why the app is quite a bit different in the forecast than what is on the weather report on KSL. I can watch the weather report with Kevin Eubank and look at my app and they’re two different forecasts.

Defaults to national radar. I loved this app before and have been using it for years. But, they have made a change so that it defaults to a National radar and I have to go in each time and select my location. If they don’t fix this, I’m going to delete it and find something else.

Why is this the only option for iPad now?. This app is great on iPhone but TERRIBLE on iPad! What happened to KSL Vortex? Is it ever coming back? KSL Weather is so sluggish on the iPad, and it’s, clearly, not designed with iPad in mind. In landscape view, the black bar takes up much too much space that should be dedicated to the map. There is also a very long lag to switch to landscape view, which is not the default even if you have your iPad in landscape position when you open the app. Please update KSL Vortex to run on iOS 11 and bring it back!

Latest Version is Awful. This used to be my default weather app, namely because it shows you the storm activity in our area with the radar imagery and such. After the last update however it no longer starts centered on neither my location nor my selected weather location, instead forcing me to scroll over to my city and then zoom in, which is just tedious. As for the weather alerts, I have those turned off because often I’d be getting alerts for things that had nothing to do with my region.

Always refreshes. If you switch to another app and come back, it always refreshes. Even if you immediately go back. Super annoying. It’s not hard to put in timeout and only refresh after so long. Even one minute would be great!

Base layer overlay. My favorite thing about this app was seeing where the precipitation was happening, but their newest update has made that hard to see. Anytime there’s cloud cover, I get a generic pink, purple, or blue overlay that I cannot get rid of, and makes it super hard to see the precipitation areas. I’ve toggled with the overlay features many times and nothing changes. It would be very nice if there was an update that fixed this because it’s super annoying.

Hate the new grey weather icons!!!. Not sure why the shift was made from the colorful weather icons to the grey ones, but I hate this change! If it doesn’t revert soon, I will likely no longer be using this app….I dislike it that much!!

Buggy. I’ve had to delete and then download this app several times for my iPad. It works for a few days or even a few weeks and then suddenly it freezes for no apparent reason. Once it is not working the only solution seems to be to get rid of the app and then go back to the App Store. It’s very annoying. Also, the hourly forecasts sometimes seem to contradict the information in the daily forecasts. I would rather have consistent information that is wrong than contradictory information.

Grey everything stinks. This app just updated and for some reason they did away with color it was much better when the weather yellow sunshine instead of this grayscale crap. It just looks cheap and it makes it much less visually quick to see the weather it all looks the same. Ugh. 👎🏼

Glitches now. Have loved this app and hasn’t given me to much trouble but now it’s frozen on 10 day forecast. Doesn’t change when I change locations. it’s not accurate anymore. Please fix the bugs.

Great map feature. I loved the older map features but after this last update it’s gone south. Stop with these stupid updates and bring us the old style back. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, come on ksl you should know better.

A news station alert has been silenced. The push notification that has a random voice saying “a news station alert has arrived” is overused and abused to the point I have turned off notifications completely. It’s appropriate for rare or significant weather. But your average morning forecast video that you posted? I’ll check it if I need and choose to. Don’t give me such an intrusive notification because you did your job that morning. I see myself using this app less and less

Trash. Used push notifications when I had them disabled; asked me to turn on “always allow” location services after I had already chosen “only when using app.” This is scummy, deliberate design choice and you really should be kicked out of the app store for it. Absolutely garbage app.

No better app - loaded with great data!. I love this app and won't use any other weather app! In fact, when I'm traveling or at home I will use this to check weather conditions around the world. It also features earthquakes and other conditions to note. There are current or recent weather forecasts uploaded from weather forecasters on the recent news. This is loaded with great data!

Last version SLOW. The latest update is slow to come up. I don’t have that much time to wait for it, when I need to see the weather for the day. Hope it can be sped up soon. I’ll check back each week to see.

Air Quality. After how many years and hundreds of updates they still can’t get the air quality maps to load consistently

Needs Update. I would prefer to use KSL over a more mainstream app for a more accurate weather report for local conditions. However, this app needs a serious design update, it needs to run smoother, and less ads. I get it, you need to make money but relax a little bit.

Too Slow. This app has just become too cumbersome. It is slow to start up. Love all the information within the app but like I said, it has just become too slow

App gone way downhill. This was a very nice app for many years, but the recent updates have added too much bloat, strange rendering issues, super slow loading data, irritating pop ups about location and network issues when there are no such issues etc. certainly can’t recommend it anymore.

Weather symbols no longer in color. Since the last update the weather symbols (Sun, cloud, etc) on the 10 day view are no longer in color and I can’t figure out how to change it. Will use a different app because I can no longer look quickly at the weather symbols to know what to expect because they all blend together.

Bug fixes needed since 2016. When will bugs be squashed in this app? I get “network error” pop ups on cellular and WiFi all the time, even though the app sometimes loads. And also, the app sometimes never loads, freezes up and I have to force quit. Really feels like one of the first iPhone apps ever.

What happened???. I used to use the app most of the time because it was reliable. The last update it would freeze up and very slow. Deleted it went to other local apps Storrs has you beat by a long shot! Used to rely on this app not so much any longer it’s lists it’s touch.

I don’t want national radar!. Have used and enjoyed and appreciated this app for years. Whatever this latest update is - defaulting to a National view of the radar when I have it set to “home” is infuriating. Make. It. Stop. I should not have to reselect “home” to see my local radar every time I open the app. Super dumb.

Update made the weather icons all grey. An update has made the weather icons all grey. It’s annoying to not be able to instantly look and see that there’s a yellow sun or a grey rain cloud or white snow flake and instead have to carefully look at each icon in grey to see what the weather will be like for the week. Please bring back the colored icons.

Update it. My radar just randomly turns off. I have to reload the app to see the storms. If I move the map at all, or have it open for more than 2 min, it just disappears. It’s annoying.

You will have better luck with the default Apple weather app. With the last major update to the KSL Weather app, it gave options for 6 and 24 hour forecast through the radar map. These maps show completely different weather patterns for the same time stamp. KSL, this is a reputational hit. Fix it please.

The weather app follows you. I am so pleased with this app! I had no idea that it would alert me, not just in the SL valley but all over the US. It has kept me informed about lighting and other weather wherever I go! I highly recommend it!

Refreshes data every time. Lots of cool features, but the app seems designed to use as much data as possible. The app will re-pull data even when you immediately switch back from any other task. Weather doesn’t change in 30 seconds. This is especially frustrating when you have poor cell coverage.

No more “playing” past and future radar.. Used to be great but now I can’t play the past and future radar. So now it’s not much use. Seeing exactly where storms are tracking given my exact location is really helpful. Other apps and news services do. I don’t know what happened in the updates and why this ability was taken away. Bring it back and the app would be 4 or 5. For now I’ll have to use the apps and news services.

Getting worse with each update. The latest map color schemes (all three) are far worse than the old version. Getting less useful with ea h new version.

Pointless. I only use the app to watch the latest video forecast. 50% of the time the video doesn’t even load. They need to to get rid of whoever they have hired to write their Apps.. the other KSL app is just basically their mobile site in an app. Don’t download this app unless you want disappointment.

Can’t check weather while traveling. Nice app if you are sitting at home in Utah, but what if you want to check the Utah weather while traveling somewhere else? Nope. You get error and can’t open the app. Please fix this bug so that when I am overseas, I can look at the Utah weather forecast.

Not reliable. When the app works, I really like it. However, the app stops working on a regular basis. I have had to delete and reload the app 5 times in the last month, and now it’s not working again.

Good and Bad. This is one of the best weather apps available with many customizable alerts and notifications. It can notify you of cities you want to follow or let it follow you wherever you go. Unfortunately you are not able to turn off notifications and alerts for Utah even with it set to only follow you. I live in Texas and I keep getting alerts for snow. This makes it almost unusable except for manually checking the radar.

What’s happened?. This used to be my weather app for weather info not only here but anywhere in the world. Since the latest update it doesn’t show any weather outside the US and local weather isn’t even accurate. It’s currently raining outside but the weather app shows no rain anywhere in Utah. I checked the Weather Channel app and sure enough, it shows rain in my area; I checked the Channel 2 weather app and it also shows rain. Even the KSL news app shows rain on the weather map. And why did we lose the weather info throughout the world. It’s nice to be able to track weather for travel or for keeping track of family and friends. At this point the KSL Weather app isn’t worth keeping.

What’s happened. Why is it that the video updates for weather only happen every two to three days. I want to watch the current day not what I watched last night. Also the app and what is reported on air often don’t coincide. Poor news

Once great app not working in iOS 11.3. This was once a great app on both iPhone and iPad, especially the 5 star ‘Vortec’ version. After that it’s been a solid 4 star performer until I updated to iOS 11.3 on my iPad, and now it doesn’t load up but hangs on the start-up splash screen, hence the 1 star rating for an app that doesn’t work on iPad currently.

Never reflects same data as KSL news. Is it just me or has anyone noticed the data on this app NEVER matches what KSL news reports. The degrees vary by 10 to 20. One says rain. The other says snow. If it one says sunny the other cloudy. Shouldn’t they be one in the same???

Better than some. New update: I like the way you switch between city's now(tap the button that looks like a house and it gives you a customizable list), however why they updated and didn't FULLY fix the video feed, I'll never understand! You can now watch the latest forecast but when it's finished the app freezes. I've found ksl to have the most accurate forecasts and the app is very informative, but It would also be nice if it showed more that 20 min. on the radar and to have a temp badge on the home screen icon. Other than that it's great!

Really great except.... the darn app woke me up at 3 in the morning! Apparently the notification sound for a weather alert is a voice telling you what the alert is. So at 3 am I am jolted awake by a voice saying "lightning strike nearby" or something like that. I understand if it was something like a tornado that would be good, but I was fast asleep in my house and didn't even hear any thunder during the 20-30 minutes I was awake!

All gray?. Not a fan of the all gray icons in the 10 day and hourly forecasts. I need the color to see what it is.

Wow!! A KSL Weather team homerun. I use KSL apps for many things (classifieds, weather, news, etc.) So I was a little disappointed when they revised the news app and seemed to scrimp on the weather section. Until, I surfed around the weather section and found a link to this new weather app. Wow!!! This quickly became my new weather app. The KSL weather team is top notch and now, so is their app. It's a homerun with all of it's freatures. Even allowing me to pan down via satellite to my street level to see conditions. Great app. Hasn't crashed on me yet. Running a 3GS still. Thanks KSL.

Awesome Tool. This app allows me to know weather conditions on a minute by minute basis. Very helpful.

👎🏻👎🏻. Pam_Stam said it perfectly. The latest version is annoying. I dont want the national radar. I’m tired of resetting my location each time I open the app.

Suits my purposes. I've found that KSL is a lot more accurate than the weather app that comes with the iPhone. The only problem I have with it is that it is a little slow loading every time you open the app. Other than that it works great and I can get the weather from all over Utah. I haven't used the video part of this app yet however so I don't know how that functions.

Good app but....???. Ok this really is a great app but I think I'm just a little confused when I look at the ten day forecast and displayed is a sunshine with no clouds but then I click on the info for that day and it says, for example, "60%" chance of precipitation. Is it my ignorance or a flaw in the app??? When I see a sun icon I think "no chance of rain" but the info tells a different story. No big deal. Still a good app.

Incorrect information. Why does the app report 0% chance of precipitation when the graphic shows a cloud and rain, and when it is actually raining? This and other inconsistencies exist with the near-term forecast.

Sad. I loved this app at first but now all features do NOT work. This is the third time I deleted and reloaded app in a week! Please KSL fix this.

Change the map back!!. Until you change the map to look more like planet earth and less like a grey moonscape, this app won’t be worth having....

Precipitation radar. The last couple of versions do not have the precipitation radar. It shows lightning bolts, but no rain showers. No precipitation radar that needs to be fixed.

Not quite as easy to use as it used to be. I like most of the features, although the forecasts an the app are often different than what's shown on the TV news. I also have kids who live in another part of the country and like to see what weather they're experiencing, usually to know what the weather will be like when we visit. I can add their cities and used to be able to go back and forth with arrows by the name of the city it's showing. The instructions in the help section say that's how to get to the other areas that are saved but the arrows disappeared after an update a few months ago. Every time I update again, I hope the bug fixes include that but I still have to go into the menu and choose a city and go back to the menu to switch back. If I hadn't already experienced the other way with the app, I'd probably still suggest that it be made easier. Since I know it can be done, I'm a bit bothered that this bug has not been fixed.

App no longer works!!!. Got a new iPad, iOS 12.1, when I open the app i gat a page that says “KSL Weather.” Something about “...RC Willy...” and the page just stays there...nothing else EVER comes up! Done with this app!

My weather map has gone crazy.. Weather map is showing lots of crazy colors that I did not want. I don’t know what they mean. How do I get rid of them?

App crashes. My app updated last night and now it won’t open. Crashes I guess every time I try to click on it.

Unusable. This really has been one of my go to apps, but it has been crashing 100% of the time immediately after opening for the last month or so. I guess it’s time to find a new weather app.

Buggy and dated UI. This app just looks and feels old. Hopefully they will overhaul all the KSL apps because while this one is the most dated looking the others aren’t that swell either.

Where’s the support. iOS 11 is not supported

Best weather app I have used in a long time!. I love following the weather. I have tried many weather apps out there and have even paid for some. I have to say that this app is the most in depth app out there. It outdoes the WeatherBug app by far. It has many great feature. Some of the neg. reviews say that you can't add other city's? I have +20 saved on my app and the app is always being updated with new features.

Accurate, easy to use. Needs air quality.. The app is clear, easy to use, and informative. I find the forecasts more accurate than the Weather Channel app, and I like having easy access to the latest video forecast if I want more details. It would be really helpful if it had the air quality index somewhere. I've never had a problem with crashing--I'm using iOS 8 (iPhone 5s).

Good app. The only thing I would add is an indicator of whether the barometer is rising or falling. I use this information everyday.

Re. I have iPhone 5 which is not compatible for this update yet it continues to show this as as update. Total pain. Turn off the update app sore and/or ksl to devices it won't install. Not to hard to figure out I'd think.

No Longer loads. Works randomly, nothing has change on my end, same phn, same WiFi.

Location tracking while the app isn’t open? No thanks.. No.

Hasn't Changed!. If you like listening to the radio the screen has to be active! The radio shuts off when the screen is dark and in your pocket! What a waste. I don't care to waste my battery just to listen to their radio!!!!!! Will uninstall!!!!!

Ok before last update. Crashes after crashes. Needs work people! Please update, please update, please update. It still crashes.

Recent update. I always referred to this weather app when I needed to know conditions. Recently there was an update and now, 3 X out of 5 I am not Apple to access the app? What did you do?

Inaccurate Weather. This app is inaccurate This day KSL Weather says it’s Partly Cloudy when I looked outside there was a Rain Shower I never trust this app.

KSL Weather is my favorite weather app. KSL Weather keeps me updated on weather where I live, and it's easy to change locations and learn what the weather news is for other locations. This app has a recent broadcast that I like to watch. There are a variety of settings to see the weather conditions for a chosen location. It's my favorite weather app.

Color change. Why did you change the map colors? I think they’re horrible- grays, dark grays, light grays, bah. Bye bye app.

Why no support for iPad 4?. This is my favorite weather app but it is so annoying that I g errors every time I do app updates. 😡

Dla. Slow and fails to provide information such a daily forecasts regularly. Sometimes doesn’t open.

New update is bad. Latest update looks bad. The old map and radar layers looked much better.

KSL weather app. Used to be great. Now it won’t even load. Just stays on app picture. Been this way for a week now. Guess time to delete.

KSU weather. Has problems loading too often so don’t use it

Updated and now it won’t open!. It worked great but I updated this morning and now it won’t open at all!

Won’t go past opening screen.. I like KSL weather through the website. But this app is unusable.

New up TERRIBLE. This app no longer any good

Worst app. Constantly freezing. Spend more time reinstalling than using it. Time to move on to another.

Last update won’t load or open on I phone. I try to open app and it just crashes need fixing

You broke it. Only past radar works, as soon as you choose future or past+future the radar disappears. Worked fine before the last update.

👎Grayscal. I know it’s hard to please everyone with app updates, but I have to say I don’t find the last update with grayscale icons to be helpful or visually appealing.

FINALLY!. I have four weather apps, and they are so loaded with distractive elements that I always get confused when I use them. I use the computer instead. KSL has tabbed access at the bottom to what I want to see most: hourly and weekly weather. Radar is in the main page, and adds at the top. Done! Please leave layout as is. I love it!

Very Unreliable. The content is good but I have to delete this app about every 3-4 weeks because it quits working. This has been going on for months. You would think they would fix it.

Ruined their app. Whoever took all the color out of this app is a graphic idiot. The only reason I kept it was because I liked the graphics and the bright suns. Graphics are critical to the reability of a weather app . Someone wrecked this one.

Used to be good. Used to love this app but recently the radar over most areas has not been accurate for months. Accuweather is much more accurate.

Very poor app. Every day it's on the update list, and it tells me I have to download. Guess I'll remove it.
