Leave a Review News 9 Weather
Not accurate and cop out responses
This app has been great from the time I first downloaded in 2013. I didn’t care for the new layout but I figured I’d get used to it. I used it a great deal for the radar when I lived in Oklahoma for farming. Then when I moved, I kept it because of how accurate the radar was and the notifications. I have family scattered all over Oklahoma; I have relatives that are terrified of tornadoes so I keep tabs when weather events are happening in their area. Last night I received alerts of excessive heat, lightning, thunderstorms, and flooding for the Guthrie area. At no time did I receive alerts for high wind or the freaking tornado that bounced through there. I emailed the app to ask why the TORNADO notification didn’t come thru, explaining I’d received other notifications. I was told there were notifications and I needed to make sure the notifications option was turned on. I sent a screen shot of the notifications I’d received, asking if they could just have someone look into why some alerts were sent but not others and was told I should have had my news alerts on too.
Be aware this app just isn’t what it used to be and the support isn’t very helpful.Show lessSparkita46
Great app but...
Anytime I need to update the app, the notifications stop playing sound. I can still see them, but I can’t hear them.Lilly219
Not as good as the old app
Winds of 13 mph gusts of 9mph....that was in the forecast this morning! The app continually has conflicting info. It will show a high temp in one portion of the app and then in another place give a different high. Also the radar doesn’t load. The concept is great, but for me the old app worked better!Show lessrashelton
Review
I love the app especially in oklahoma with our crazy weather this really helps keep my kids and family safe. The only negative I have is I wish it would send more notifications. For example say we are under a tornado watch, I would wish it would send a notification about that or like a t-storm warning. Overall this app is decently helpful and I partially recommend it.Show lesslucymae7
Great update
This app is more sleek, and the update has provided so much more useful information. (e.g. sunrise/sunset, hourly wind, temp & precip, current wind, etc) I’ve seen some reviews that say it doesn’t have hourly projections or saved locations, but they must’ve overlooked those features, because they’re there.
I thought there was no way to change the alert settings (like, to pick and choose what I get alerted about.)It took me a week or two but I finally figured out how to change those settings.
Overall, much improved. Great app.Show lessRaisingDinah
Sad day
I have tried to like the changes I this app but it just isn’t working. I want to be able to pull it up and get a quick view of the week. Now you have to scroll and scroll back and forth. What happened to the glance at your weather week? Moving on to another weather app. Sorry 🙁22Rotweety
Not a Fan of the Update
I don't like the update. I miss seeing s. Usual of the 7 day+ forecast. If I want to see that, I have to go the the weather app which isn’t as reliable. I appreciate the additional features. Also not a fan of the home page; have to use the drop down menu to find what I need.Gentle3
Update ruined the app
I have had this app for years. It’s been great as far as monitoring daily weather and especially during severe weather. I however will no longer be using this app. I personally do not like the new layout as a whole. Especially the radar.R0101N
Used to depend on news 9 app not now
Ok I love news 9 but this app I thought was a good update until I started using it during our first tornado season and I can not get the little tornado warning boxes to come up on radar that’s what I liked at but now it’s just all the NWS alert for the area. Please fix so it can get the little boxes showing tornado and direction of tornado warning.Show lessBeach hunter
Bad update
News9 was my only go to during any type of weather but after the update it’s the last. It’s slow for the radar to come up (if it does at all), it doesn't have all the details like hail, spin, etc. and the 7 day was way better before to get a glance then click on the day to get more detail like you have it now which is the only option. News9 will still be my #1 news source but not the app.Show lessCa2ok76
