Reviews: What People Think About KSAT 12 Weather Authority
Tahitian palm
Rating: 5/5
I’ve tried a lot of different weather apps over time and found that this one is one of the best in design and information all around. Perhaps a little biased towards KSAT after living in San Antonio for a couple of years back in the mid 60’s but a resounding yes to this app. It not only provides me with the weather in and around San Antonio but I also added my current location in Michigan as well as that of family and friends. Every feature of the app is well thought out. It works great on my iPhone but also my iPad with only one exception, the inability to change to landscape mode which I am always in on my iPad. Having to turn it in portrait mode is somewhat annoying but I can live with it. Perhaps in the future that feature will be made available like many apps etc. do. Overall it still is the best I’ve used to date. All I can say is get it.

I use this app daily; often several times a day when rain or inclimate weather is headed my way. 90% of that use was to track precipitation and storm activity down to the street level of friends an family across the countr. . The new radar interface has been dumbed down to the point of ridiculous and looks like a child’s radar map. It is drab, no matter how you set it. The location pins are too large and there is no way to set one pin at a time for display. If you have several favorites defined, you have have all of them displayed with their big obtrusive bubbles or none. Although we have a powerful hurricane headed in our direction, you cannot see it reflected on the map unless you have it set to shoe the satellite version, then you only see clouds. If you looked at the radar set on national map in this app, it looks like the Caribbean an the gulf are free of storms.
I do love all of Ksats weather folks, and they do a great job, but I don’t have time to sit and listen and watch. I need a robust radar map that I can do a quick check to see what is coming and from where.
This new map is useless to me. I will be looking for an alternative.

The redesign of this app seems ill advised as it’s now less intuitive and feels like unnecessary bloat was added. New radar only showing a short past history seems odd, sure some might say why do you need to know what the radar looked like three hours ago but during severe weather events having a history of the track of the storms can be of use to many if not just to see any strengthening or weakening of the system. Possibly the biggest detrimental change was having the written forecasts become a link to the KSAT website itself and no longer imbedded within the app for quick reading. All this is doing is requiring more resources to be used as the app now loads a web browser to show the report which in the end is usually a simple but informative paragraph. Having that on the front “page” of the old app ready to go once it loaded was great for those that just needed to know what the outlook for the day was. Other recent reviewers have said they are switching apps and I don’t blame them for doing so when something as simple as gaining some weather information seems to be less important for a weather app.
