User friendly

Nicely organized. User friendly. The right amount of detail but not so much as to obscure the forecast . Best out of the other 5 I have tried so far.
It’s a Nice Idea...

But the videos never work. I get these pinpoint notifications several time a day. When I click on them, a pop up box comes up with, “Video Error”, “Cannot play the requested video.” I used to think it was something I did wrong, like I waited too long to click on the notification. However, it happens even if I click on it a couple seconds after the notification pops up.
Needs an air quality alert

The app has dozens of alerts, from high wind warnings to heavy rain. But it is missing an air quality alert. For example, the Seattle area is under an air quality alert because of forest fires in the surrounding area. Folks with asthma need to know this information, but the app does not alert them to this important alert.
Too many alerts, not enough user settings

I wanted to like this app, I really did. But that changed when I was awoken in the middle of the night to no less than 3 alerts about the exact same wind watch, which was still 24 hours away. And the alerts are a man’s voice talking to you. It appears you cannot change that in any settings. While you can reduce the types of alerts you receive, it would be wonderful to be able to adjust the volume, etc. if I’m going to get them that often. Deleted this app and hoping to get more sleep tonight.
It’s ok

It’s a great app but I cannot make it big enough to see it and it always shuts down when I try to download the news for the weather and I don’t know if I’m getting a toilet weather
Hate the new version

I am vision challenged and now I can't make out anything without magnification. The old version was easy to see the week at a glance. Very bummed. Komo has the same platform with slightly better contrast. Still not as good as old Kiro, but good enough for me to switch.

I totally am not liking the upgraded weather app. Really enjoyed the visuals before and find this presentation very boring. I’ll be looking for a new app version that currently looks the way you used to. You should not fix something that’s not broken
Not Impressed

The font is so small I can’t read it on my phone. Liked the hourly view on old version. Also checked the earthquake option often. Miss that. Think I’ll delete the app.
