KELO Weather – South Dakota Reviews

by CentralSDmama

I hope there isn’t a weather emergency coming soon! You can never count on it working! I like it when it opens, but 9/10, it won’t load and work like it’s supposed to! Come on Kelo, you can do better than this!!

Recent update makes navigation challenging and frustrating to use. It requires ongoing taps to change view and see information rather than having things visible in the main screen. Having to navigate through several pages for 7 day forecast and hourly forecast is a huge turn off. I’m switching apps to one that is more user friendly.

Pop up adds take over the whole screen, are loud videos and you have no way to close them. So you have to close KELOWeather to turn them off. Will be checking out other local stations apps. Too bad this was my go to app for weather.

KELOWeather two versions ago was the best. This new one is just TMI. TLDR. I want to see a live weather map, what’s going on today hour by hour, and what the next 7 days might look like. If I wanted all the info in this new app, I’d visit your website. Which I’ve never done as long as I’ve had a pocket computer. It’s bad. Bring the old app back or I’m going to KSFY.

Absolutely awful. The previous version was so tidy and user friendly. Everything I wanted. My weekly forecast, radar, etc., easy to find. Yuck, yuck, and yuck. Functionality is completely gone. Wish I could unupdate. And where the heck did they put the locations? I had a dozen or so that I could easily check. Gone now.

I keep getting alerts for the Pierre area—I visited there weeks ago—even though “my current location” shows where I actually am. When I look at radar, however, the map is for Pierre. I have location services on, but apparently it’s too confusing to discern my current location.

I open KELOWeather quick to check the sever weather radar as we were in a system that could bring large hail and strong winds. Instead of the radar map opening so I can quickly verify if I'm at risk for the brunt of the storm or not I am greeted with a 15 or so second video ad. I am deleting KELOWeather, it was never that great anyway this just made it abysmal.

Pop up ads are annoying - weather forecasts are constantly changing (sometimes several times within the same day) and very rarely match their TV forecast for the same area and are typically not very accurate. Radar doesn't work a good portion of the time. Definitely not the "awesome" weather app that KELO weather people would like you to think it is.

Just a heads up KELO weather team - changing your forecast to match what the weather is actually doing outside once the day comes isn’t actually forecasting anything. 0% chance of rain on both App and TV - 1-3 days out and then the day comes and low and behold it’s raining so magically KELOWeather forecast changes to 60% that morning.

Before this last update Kelo storm tracker was my go to weather app. Now it is terrible, hard to find the right place, radar maps don’t tell me anything. Please go back to the old version

So unfortunate - I travel all over the west and have to watch the weather closely. My favorite app, until the latest update, was the KELOLAND weather app. Now, it’s buggy, no longer has the 2-3 daily 1:15 minute video updates and when there is a video posting it’s buggy (none responsive buttons, etc). I have iPhone 6s, iPad Pro so it’s not me. Leave it to techies to fiddle with something that was fine before - now it’s useless. I’ve gone back to the Weather Channel - yeah, that bad. So unfortunate...

Historically, the Kelo weather app has been my go-to for local weather forecast and info. I find this current update to be frustrating to navigate and now lacks a “week at a glance” opportunity (you now have to scroll through to see all this info, and I also find the info harder to read with the background weather visuals). I’ve made a change to another local TV network app that better satisfies my weather info needs.

Just updated KELOWeather and thought it couldn’t get any worse - I was wrong. Not only now do I need to sit a look at a loading splash screen for 5 seconds (not that KELOWeather even requires a loading page for the little bit it does).

Now the radar has so many buttons and options it’s useless. People just want to see quick weather things.

Want to make KELOWeather useful? Just give an app with 8 buttons with things like quick forecasts, quick radar, and useful things. If I want to see more I will use the website.

I love your app and everything over KSFY, but I hate your radar. I like KSFY’s radar better. Is there any possibility of getting that radar on your app?

Their prediction is almost always more precipitation than what we get and less accurate than competitors like the weather channel to a stunning degree

So the pointy end of real life wind vane points in the direction the wind is blowing from (aka the “wind direction” aka the direction you are facing when the wind is hitting you directly in the face). The wind compass in KELOWeather points directly opposite of which way the wind is blowing- points down for a north wind,etc. pretty basic. Also KELOWeather is sluggish and seems to have a much more generic hour-by-hour forecast than it used to have.

I can’t figure out how to watch the videos now of the Kelo weather now and it’s annoying. I hate the new update KELOWeather was fine before.

by Electro-Genius

I don't understand how a lot of these people have the audacity to expect perfection from a free app. I think the update is fine.

by Robbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Definitely a nice upgrade to KELOWeather . The only real complaint I have is the fact that there’s no am/pm forecast videos. I find them very convenient when I’ve missed the morning or evening news.

Most of the reviews on here are from 1 or 2 years ago, so I thought I’d give an updated review. The graphics are great: whether that describes the background photos, the interface of the 24- hour/ 7- day forecast, or the interactive radar. In particular, I like how one can select multiple different cities/ towns in the radar and then scroll through them in the 24- hour forecast section if they want to keep a watch over multiple areas. However, one thing that should be fixed is the format of the advisories/ warnings of the National Weather Service- they should be made a little neater.

KELOWeather has had a lot of well needed updates over the past year.

I’m enjoying the new features on the updated app. More options for radars is handy as well as the new hour by hour forecasts. The Skycams are also a fantastic addition. Thanks Keloland Weather team!
