Accurate weather report

Ads

Too many ads!!!!

Forecasts contradict themselves

OK. First there are a bazillion ads, but more importantly the forecasts are not consistent. Here is an example.
Today the chance of rain is listed as 20%. BUT if you expand the forecast it tells you that there is a 50% chance of rain in the morning and a 60% chance in the evening.
Now I’m not a mathematical genius but I know that 50% and 60% do NOT come out to 20% for the day.
So the question is: Which forecast do I believe? Right now, neither one!
1 star because I can’t rate it any lower.

Rarely updated

What good is a weather forecast that is 48 hours old?

App is one big ad

This use to be a decent app. Now my screen is filled with ads. The opening screen was about 70% filled with ads. This app is no longer of much use with all this extra on it. I go to it for weather, not so you or google can send me ads.

Inaccurate and filled with ads

Frustrating app to use. It will say there is a 50% chance of rain on a given day, but when you expand the hours for that day it may only show 10% chance all day long. At least make it agree with your own forecasts!
It is irritating that it reloads every time you have to jump to another app and is full of irritating ads.

Great app availability!!

Thx for having weather reporting at one’s fingertips!
Especially for us seniors.
So far, you seem to be accurate, not downplaying the bad weather
Reality!!
Will continue to rely on this needy information!!

Should be more up to date with what Low pressure and high pressure have to do with wind and rain also Hurricane Gilma is where?? How will it effect us

Questionable data!

Me and my wife downloaded the app to our respective smartphones, and even though we shared the same settings, location and network the app gives us different data ( precipitation percentages, forecasts, wind velocity, etc). To make things more unreliable, I downloaded to my iPad and it gave a third readout, totally different data from our smartphones. I would not rely on this data for any planning.

We use to like it. Not now.

The old app version was so much better! We liked the old radar. We don’t like it since you changed the live radar. Can see anything! Who ever did the updated version ruined it.

Reliable Weather News Team 👍😎☘️

It’s fine if it’s all you’re using

The thing I don’t like most about this app is that it does not let you switch between Say texting. If I select the text message that just came in, I go back to the app to finish watching the report and it starts from the very beginning, and I have to watch a commercial again. That is super lame, but the people reporting on it are great

Best all around!

The best weather info ever.

Stop wasting my time with useless information alerts!

There are over 20 categories of notifications but this app needs one more so I can uncheck it: “unimportant information”. “Gentle trades for the next few days” or “Winds are decreasing; when will they ramp up again?” is NOT information I need to be alerted to! Haven’t you ever read the story about the boy who cried “wolf” too often? When the real thing came along he was ignored because of too many false alarms! These are not actual ALERTS; they are simply a developer’s PLOY screaming “Look at my app”! STOP IT!

I really enjoy the information that Hawaii News Now provides me regarding weather and conditions in the Hawaiian islands. I think this is good for the public and it’s also good for the safety of our public. Keep up the good work.
