### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-05-07*

I recently switched from ch 8 weather app that was just updated. It is way worse that the previous app. The weather section of the app is so poor quality that I have to open and close the app just to see the weather. I did notice that there is not outdoor gps section of the news app any more. Any thought.

Thank you

### 5/5 — The weather team

*2025-05-28*

The weather people are friendly and to the point just what I need I. This busy life!

### 5/5 — Most contextual forecast app!

*2025-02-04, version 5.17.509*

Best weather app for the region. Provides actual contextual forecasts (from actual forecasters) rather than just a mishmash of weather models

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-12-29*

When I’m away from my TV I still can keep up with the changing weather & reports; also, I love the alert with that guy’s voice

### 4/5 — The last update of app

*2024-05-07*

I’m not really liking the way the app now looks with the pictures that they post as what the weather will be for the day. They used to line up with the app as soon as it loaded and you could see it but now you have to play around with the screen to view whatever it is that you want to see . just seems a little inconvenient to me, I would rather that it be at a glance so I don’t have to waste my time finding what it is that I want to see.

### 2/5 — You can do better ! love Mark, hate all the ads

*2023-10-10*

I’ve been recording Mark and watching his tv weather for many years and now listen to their podcast (the other three meteorologists are great in too) and I don’t even live in Portland but in Central Oregon. I rarely get apps but thought this might be a good way to supplement my NOAA pages for wx info without using my TV. 

It does have some good features like radar and detailed hourly fx, graphics & the news clips.  But forcing us to watch a 30 second ad (without any way to stop it ) every single time you try to watch a handy video clip is really irritating. I can see one -maybe - but not when you’re going through the last few hours of video clips. it becomes untenable. Many other sites play an ad for three or four seconds once, and then allow you to skip it if you want. 

You can do better! With winter approaching, even an El Niño one, I’d like to be able to watch the little video clips without going to the TV, but not sure I can suffer SO many ads. And yes, as someone else said, it’s busy with ads in the middle of the forecasts too. Cluttered. Hope you can improve this app, tks. ❄️

### 5/5 — Weather

*2023-09-02*

Helpful 2 know area for the storm will appear

### 1/5 — It talked to me!!

*2023-03-12, version 5.7.402*

I have never had a weather app talk to me. And it shouldn’t talk. It started talking while I was home alone and it gave me the biggest fright ever. I don’t know how to turn it off so I deleted the app.

### 3/5 — Cluttered, messy, BUT v. helpful

*2023-02-26*

This app is almost -bizarre- in how it functions. The video I click on plays in a different place than where I clicked on it. Very confusing overall. Could be a Textbook example of ‘how to make a user think they’re crazy’. Many, MANY ads. — Having said all that, there’s cool content like ocean wave height information, ocean temperatures, snow levels graphs, rain measurements, and forecasts for the day, three days, and seven days, as well as radar images for clouds, precipitation, sun breaks. — I have not used any other weather app so can’t compare and contrast this one with an alternative. I really like Mark Nelson so that’s why I’ll continue to use this app in spite of all its downsides.

### 5/5 — My opinion.

*2023-02-03, version 5.7.301*

I love this app.
