I have to switch over to Weather Underground to get real time data. ### 3/5 — Update is no good *2026-04-27, version 6.1.601* I don't like how the radar has a lag on it. It only updates about every 15 minutes. Which isn't good if there's severe weather. I don't even use this app much anymore because what's the point if it isn't up to date? What I'm seeing has already happened. It used to be up to the minute on the radar but the last update changed it. Need to find a new weather app. Also why do I have to create a new radar map to get overlays? Sometimes you just shouldn't mess with something that works perfectly fine. ### 2/5 — Update is no good *2026-04-04, version 6.1.601* I don't like how the radar has a lag on it. It only updates about every 15 minutes. Which isn't good if there's severe weather. I don't even use this app much anymore because what's the point if it isn't up to date? What I'm seeing has already happened. It used to be up to the minute on the radar but the last update changed it. Need to find a new weather app. ### 2/5 — Worst updates *2026-03-15, version 6.1.601* 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. ### 4/5 — Annoying radar *2026-02-26, version 6.1.302* Why does the radar always start on the east coast then move to the correct area? It seems pointless. ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-05-10, version 5.17.511* This is the best weather app ever it has saved my family from getting killed we got hit by a tornado and y’all told use to get in your safe places and if we did not we would have bean died ### 5/5 — Fast response *2025-04-24, version 5.17.511* Love this app ### 5/5 — Great Appreciation! *2025-04-17, version 5.17.511* I have great appreciation for you all and the updates you provide. You truly are a lifesaver to many with the most recent weather we’ve had causing the multitude of tornadoes. I don’t have a tv and only have your app on my phone for my updates. Thank you for a providing folks with a smooth running app and your dedication to your community. Your greatly Appreciated!!! Lori from Williford Ar. ### 5/5 — Very pleased *2025-04-16, version 5.17.511* Amazing people, amazing friends, amazing technology all wrapped into one!!!

You guys rock 🤘 ### 5/5 — The hest *2025-02-23, version 5.17.511* Uhhh chicken ### 2/5 — K8 weather *2025-01-11, version 5.17.510* This online weather is always a day behind. I would like to see what is expected for this day. ### 5/5 — We can count on TV 8 *2024-11-23, version 5.16.1703* The weather is something that can change within the winking of an eye. . . But, here in Arkansas, we know that we can depend on the well educated and well equipped, weather man and /or woman. Always right on time, Always very informative, And ALWAYS, THERE WHEN WE NEED TO BE CERTAIN, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS !!!! Thanks so much, for the great advice and great work, that you share with us !!!!!! Carly Jai. ### 5/5 — Its educational *2024-10-23, version 5.16.1703* I love it because it lets me know what the weather is gonna be like for the day ### 5/5 — Boyd Overton *2024-09-16, version 5.15.416* Ryan and the team are a 10 . ### 4/5 — Apple TV app *2024-07-29, version 5.15.411* I use this on Apple TV. It does pretty good. The only issue I have is it gets hung up on the greenway commercial of silence and seems to pause the news broadcast. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why watch? *2026-04-08, version 6.1.601* 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! ### 1/5 — I can’t report a problem so I have to do it here *2026-01-24, version 6.1.302* 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. ### 1/5 — Radar is never actually accurate and the movement of the system *2024-09-04, version 5.15.416* 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 ### 1/5 — Jimmy is paid off *2024-07-27, version 5.15.411* Alledgedly ### 1/5 — Will not reinstall this app! *2024-07-26, version 5.15.411* Reason Trump adds. ### 1/5 — Kait *2024-01-22, version 5.12.701* 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 ### 1/5 — Not accurate, just useful for entertainment purposes *2024-01-17, version 5.12.701* 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. ### 1/5 — Weather radar *2023-09-12, version 5.10.504* 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 ### 1/5 — Kait weather *2021-07-16, version 5.3.802* 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work all of the sudden *2020-07-08, version 5.0.402* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best weather station *2026-06-18, version 6.2.512* This is the best way I can look at the weather love this station man ### 5/5 — Alerts *2026-03-03, version 6.1.302* Always there keeping us aware of potential risky weather- awesome job and appreciated!!! ### 5/5 — K8 best wether *2025-10-30, version 5.17.801* I love it ### 5/5 — Best wether app ever *2025-08-19, version 5.17.706* Wow every thing is great ### 5/5 — K8 Weather *2025-08-05, version 5.17.706* Short, sweet, and clear to the point and and ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-08-01, version 5.17.706* I have relied on K8 radar for many years thank you ### 5/5 — K8 *2025-07-22, version 5.17.511* I love it too when a tornado happening or not ### 5/5 — BEST Weather Team In The Nation *2025-05-29, version 5.17.511* The K8 Weather Team is the absolute best!
