Allen puts together a very informative weather forecast/educational program, Keep going Allen. P.S. Miss Brian 😐 Hope retirement does him well!
★★★★★Angelica Garza Beckham· Nov 22, 2025
I love your radar picture it doesn't look fake like some of the other weather apps your forecast or more accurate keep up the good work
★★★★☆Aaron· Oct 28, 2025
During harsh weather conditions, KFVS-12 keeps me well-informed. During tornado season Grant is on top of it giving out near-precise warnings.
★★★★★Julie· Apr 19, 2026
Right now without having channel 12 on our dish right now, it helps with the weather updates.
★☆☆☆☆David Paterimos· Jan 9, 2026
I don't really care for the new update. It has been taking forever to load & has crashed on me multiple times today. Can I just have the older map back? The one that was there when I woke up today.
★☆☆☆☆Kevin· Mar 11, 2026
With this new update you can't have alerts and radar on at the same time. Hate it. Was better before.
★★☆☆☆Bradley Batson· Jun 12, 2026
Full page ad upon opening that must be waited out for it to disappear (really great when in severe weather when you're trying to figure out if you need to get to safety). Hourly outlook doesn't give the % chance of precipitation all the time. Sometimes it says nothing (assumed 0%), sometimes will actually give the % chance of precipitation, or will say XX:00 Light rain begins XX:45 light rain ends which is unhelpful for knowing what % of the area will get rain.
