Why watch?. I believe K8’s Weather team is as correct as most other. Forecasters, but I would rather read the data and determine the weather myself. I am Spot On!

I can’t report a problem so I have to do it here. Every time you look at the radar, you’re looking at the whole state you’re not looking at your area for the radar. You have to zoom in every single time on this last update it sucks. I can’t find a report a problem on the site to report it so I have to do it this way.

Radar is never actually accurate and the movement of the system. It’s always showing it should be raining and never see a drop. Looks like it would be. Maybe instead of relying on computer models the meteorologist could have a better accurate update by just walking outside
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Jimmy is paid off. Alledgedly

Kait. Just a local fear porn liberal abc affiliate station half time not even right during tornado season and you’re trying to find out quick info on situation you got to watch a 2 min greenway John Deere equipment ad first
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Not accurate, just useful for entertainment purposes. This app is not accurate at all. Not even close. It says 10 degrees and it’ll be 3 degrees. It says 1 inch of snow and we get 6. It says wind is out of the west at 6 mph and it’ll be north winds at 20 mph. Not a serious tool for those who depend on the weather. I recommend weather underground or similar for much more accurate information.

Weather radar. The radar flashes on 3 of my devices it is hard to tell what’s. Going on when this happens, this also happen on kfvs12

Kait weather. Site is too convoluted and stymied with advertising and other’gotchas’ to use efficiently. Takes too much time and utilizes too much data to get information

Working????. I don’t know what’s wrong with this app! I’ve had it for years wont update!

Doesn’t even work all of the sudden. I have had this app for almost a year. Husband has it too. All of the sudden the other day, it started saying not available in your area. Weird, because it worked just this morning in the same place. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t solve it either. I liked the app, but I won’t keep it if this isn’t fixed. Waste of space on my phone at this point.

COMPLAINT!!!!. I have had this app for a very long time. Now it says “IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA”. I live about 10 miles from the station with a Brookland address. Can’t even get the weather! The alerts come through

So many commercials I can never get the weather😂. Now I rarely check with you. I use another weather service.

Not user friendly. Loved the older version, but dislike the new map box. Not user friendly at all. Change it back or find something better.

Confusing and Annoying!. The new storm tracks colors and icons are confusing and annoying to try and keep up with, especially during severe weather. If it’s confusing for a twenty something year old, imagine how confusing it is for an elderly person! Time for another weather app, I suppose. Hope the developers plan to change it soon! If it changes, I’ll be back!

Never seen so many ads. Loaded this app and the ads are just overwhelming. One after another, in every screen. Wow! Deleted it after 2 mins.

Awful!. Once I updated, my app has been glitchy. It won’t rotate and I do have the lock rotation off. I do not like the slider bar. I much preferred the ‘play’ button.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not reliable. Hard to stay updated on tornado info when your app loads so slowly and there are ads and pop-ups. Disappointed...
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Loved the app until the latest update. It was a very useful app until the latest update. What once was an easy to use helpful app became complicated and hard to navigate. I will most likely end up deleting it and finding a different weather service app even though I live in the area this app is made for. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Just download the main Region 8 App. This app is completely worthless. Anything it does the main region 8 app already has. Not to mention it's very clunky and poorly designed.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Liked the Internet one better. This one freezes and/or takes forever to load even on wifi network. Liked the old radar you could just bookmark. Wasn't as detailed but was much faster and didn't freeze.
★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
Worst updates. The new icons on this map and the new settings have completely ruined it. They are bulky and hard to follow. It's extremely frustrating to have during bad weather.

K8 weather. This online weather is always a day behind. I would like to see what is expected for this day.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Radar stuck on “future”. With the latest update the radar only has “future” as an option. Bring back the “past” option.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
So many ads.. It’d be better if I only had to watch ONE ad.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Daily nonsense notifications are annoying!. Honestly, the weather (hourly, daily, radar) part of this app is pretty good which is the reason they get 2 stars. The videos have ads as long as the videos themselves which is terribly annoying but understandable when you have people giving you money for the add space. The part that bugs me the most is the notifications everyday of meteorologists using this like a social media platform and letting you know that it’s Sunny or cold (as if you couldn’t already tell by using basic senses). As far as I can tell if you turn off notifications, you also won’t get the important notifications like thunderstorms and tornadoes. It’s just unbelievably ridiculous to have daily notifications for normal, basic weather circumstances.

D. D. Pp. Trying to see weather I have to watch two commercials to get to the severe storm warning You don't want criticism Ever nickname you say is taken

I’m not in Africa. No matter where I set my location to, the app always takes me to the coast of Africa.

Freezes on radar. Freezes up when on radar Can’t access overlays and map types

Wait time for emergency alerts.. When a weather alert comes on you have to wait for an ad to finish before you can hear the alert. Seems like a waste of time if it’s an emergency. I have started using other weather apps for severe weather notifications.
