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. ### 3/5 — Weather *2024-08-26, version 5.15.411* 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 ### 3/5 — It’s fine if it’s all you’re using *2024-01-22* 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 ### 4/5 — Stop wasting my time with useless information alerts! *2023-08-11* 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! ### 4/5 — Weather Alerts *2023-03-26* Appreciate the video to stay current on the quickly-changing weather during the day! ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy to Use *2022-03-31* We keep track of weather forcast in DC, New Zealand, Japan, and just about every place we have visited around the world. Its great to see the future forcast by radar. Telling us if any major storms are headed are way or is it all clear to take our canoes out. ### 4/5 — Weather report *2022-03-29, version 5.4.921* If it’s Guy it’s a 5 ### 5/5 — Thank you 🙏 🇵🇷 *2022-03-13, version 5.4.921* I’m from Puerto Rico but I have relatives in Hawaii that’s why I met this app. The one I trust must 🙏 ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2022-01-15, version 5.4.921* Can’t play the videos as the ads keep repeating. Plus I would prefer to read the stories!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No ad free option *2026-03-10, version 6.1.601* Get rid of ads or at least give me the option to upgrade to add free ### 1/5 — Forecasts contradict themselves *2025-05-06* 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. ### 1/5 — Rarely updated *2025-04-27, version 5.17.511* What good is a weather forecast that is 48 hours old? ### 1/5 — App is one big ad *2025-01-05* 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. ### 1/5 — Questionable data! *2024-05-17* 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. ### 1/5 — We use to like it. Not now. *2024-03-07, version 5.12.701* 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. ### 1/5 — Using the radar doesn’t change orientation *2023-02-01* I don’t know what they did to the app, but now when you hold the iPhone horizontally the orientation of the map doesn’t change. Fix this issue, it used to be awesome before this last update for the iPhone. ### 1/5 — Not very accurate *2022-06-23* I live on Kaua’i and there is only ONE radar here and it is on the south side. To give weather reports for only one part of an island isn’t helpful. Get another radar to support the other parts of the island that experience completely different weather patterns…especially on Kaua’i where we get hit HARD with inclement weather. ### 1/5 — Advertisements Galore *2022-05-10, version 5.4.921* Uh…is there any information provided under all of the ads? Three bright yellow Longs ads on the screen - really ruins the usability of the app. This app was once good. Now it’s just a mess. ### 1/5 — Nice App *2022-04-04, version 5.4.921* We don’t need Guy Hagi anymore, that will save you guys big bucks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-05-07, version 6.1.601* Everybody likes weather right? ### 5/5 — Weather app *2026-04-14* Accurate weather report ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-09-19* You want some weather? ### 5/5 — Great app availability!! *2024-08-27* 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!! ### 5/5 — Hawaii No Ka Oi ! 👍😎 *2024-03-07, version 5.12.701* Reliable Weather News Team 👍😎☘️ ### 5/5 — Best all around! *2023-10-18, version 5.11.503* The best weather info ever. ### 5/5 — Weather Updates *2023-04-20* 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. ### 5/5 — Love HNN Weather app *2023-02-19* We sure wish we had this back when we bottom fished for a living back in the 80’s👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome weather app *2023-02-13, version 5.7.301* I love the Doppler radar it’s very accurate. I love the weather alerts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Commercial junk *2022-12-24* Annoying is the rubbishy stuff that comes with the weather forecast.
