### 1/5 — MAGA GARBAGE

*2026-05-25, version 6.1.601*

Horrible false MAGA news reporting.

### 5/5 — In The Know

*2025-07-20, version 5.17.507*

This app is my go to for weather updates and current and future conditions. The features on it are so simple and allow me to see both future and past statistics. I own an iPhone and the weather app is somewhat accurate sometimes but having this app I know I have a local meteorologist that understands  the weather and climate and he fits rignt in my pocket😁

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2025-02-10, version 5.17.507*

The most accurate weather forecast for my area of Maui. Always loved KHON news as well.

### 1/5 — Why all the ads

*2025-01-05, version 5.17.507*

This use to be a decent app.  On the opening page I had the SAME ad 4 times.  I want to see the weather, not ads.  I give feedback on the ad and it closes.  If I scroll down and back, the ad is back.  You give no option to get rid of ads.  The app has been corrupted by ads and is no longer useful to me.  I would not recommend this app to anyone.

### 5/5 — Great App However

*2023-08-28, version 5.8.501*

This app does everything I need except they don’t update the live weather broadcast often enough. Right now it’s 2 days behind. I’d like to see it updated at least once a day even if it’s from the night before.

### 1/5 — Don’t follow me when I’m not using the app

*2022-07-12, version 5.5.900*

If you want to knpw the weather near your house, you must let it follow you everywhere even if you’re not using it. What’s up with that?  That’s not right. Sounds they want to sell your info. I won’t be using an app so intrusive.  It would be ok if it only tracked my location when I’m using the app. 
To the weather crew!  Keep it simple and to the point like it used to be. No need to be so dramatic. Do you get it?  You’ve become the same as all the rest. Overemphasizing little things. 
Go back to straight forward weather report. Thank you

### 5/5 — First Impressions

*2022-05-26, version 5.5.900*

Really good, I can see weather on the go, on the spot, & basically anywhere in the state of Hawaii. This will come in handy incase if I go like for example, a movie theatre and it’s going to be heavy rain, I can go on another week, day, etc. If I don’t use this, I’ll probably get wet.

### 5/5 — Channel 2 weather

*2021-01-15, version 4.35.570056950*

Up to date, extended forecasts.

### 3/5 — Radar not working

*2020-11-13, version 4.35.570056950*

Was a five star app, but the radar map is just a blank page for months. When it worked, it was one of the best. I kept the app only hoping it will get fixed with updates, but still nothing.

### 2/5 — Fix Radar Feature Please

*2020-07-26, version 4.35.470055270*

Most of the app is great.  Radar function not working.  Would be 5 stars if radar worked.
