It’s not hard to find the “Digital Goddess.” Kim Komando is everywhere providing tips, advice and the latest tech news. And you can get those tips, advice and breaking news right at your fingertips through your smartphone. The app is beautifully designed, simple to use, and the settings allow you to decide what alerts you want to have and which ones you’d prefer to ignore. And there’s a nice little extra feature that you’ll love when severe weather hits. Read on! The Komando.com app is available for Android and Apple users. Scroll to the end of this article and click the buttons, which will take you to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. 

Free download for news alerts

Stay up-to-date on the latest tech, news and digital lifestyle hacks, all from your phone or tablet. More than 80,000 users have downloaded the Komando.com app. With the app, you have access to:

• Up-to-the-minute security and data breach alerts before anyone else
• The latest in tech and digital news as it’s happening
• Information on how to use the newest technology to make your life better ⁠– and what to avoid
• Watching or listening to Kim’s weekly radio show and podcasts on your time
• Connecting with Kim on social media

Hidden features of the Komando.com app 

The app also has some new features. We have improved article view with related content and provide easy navigation to the next story. We also have enhanced stream view with video previews and photo gallery mode. Go into the settings to control whether videos autoplay.

You can also get real-time traffic via Google maps, based on your location (you’ll need to allow the Komando.com app to know your location, which you can set to monitor only when you use the app, so it isn’t using valuable data or slowing down your phone when you’re not using the app).  

Get real-time severe weather alerts

By default, your Komando app will send you notifications of severe weather based on your location. To change weather notifications, go to the home screen and click “Locations” on the weather module. Here you can change your default location, turn off and on severe weather notifications, and add cities, which is especially helpful if you travel or have family who lives in different parts of the country. Scroll down to the bottom of the weather locations screen and tap “+Add Location.” To download the free Komando.com app, use the links we’ve provided below inside the blue boxes.

As always, you can catch The Kim Komando show airing on the Bloomberg Television Network and listen to her live radio show, “The Kim Komando Show,” all across the country (tap or click here to find a station).
