### 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.

### 4/5 — Awesome Coverage

*2018-09-11, version 4.30.410039662*

Mahalos for the Great coverage on hurricanes and storms.  We recommend all our resort guests, download your App to keep in the know! Much Mahalos! Lyle O.

### 5/5 — KHON Hurricane Lane Report

*2018-08-25, version 4.30.410039662*

The BEST most informative information to viewers!  Your up to date detailed information on Lane educated me on hurricanes. Mahalo to your staff.

### 1/5 — MAGA GARBAGE

*2026-05-25, version 6.1.601*

Horrible false MAGA news reporting.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Radar

*2020-06-28, version 4.35.340053663*

Radar does not work on iPad.

### 1/5 — App isn’t updated

*2019-07-30, version 4.33.530045668*

Downloaded the KHON 2 News Weather app today, 7/29/19. The Forecast tile is dated 6/25/19. Tapped on it to see if that would refresh it. Nope. What the heck?

### 1/5 — Weather map

*2018-12-06, version 4.30.410039662*

Hard to get both picture size & location properly oriented. Need better control of adjustment. Also, cursor to start & stop weather map so tiny. My finger has a hard time hitting the tiny triangle to start motion. Need to make those cursors larger so it is easier to see & touch.

### 1/5 — Weather Now

*2018-05-08, version 4.28.190036618*

I agree it was better and now it’s terrible, if you want to put it in motion it’s hard to do it as the arrow is so small.

### 1/5 — A giant leap (backwards)!

*2018-01-17, version 4.27.850034767*

True, the previous version had intrusive pop-up’s but it had all of the weather information in an accessible, useful and easy to use format.  

The current version is a mishmash of confusing screens, a horrible radar section and a current conditions/forecast section that looks like it came straight out of 2007!

For a long time this was my go-to weather app on my iPad, but no more.  The KITV and even the KHNL apps are far better and I will be deleting the KHON WX app as soon I submit this review. 

KHON, please take note. I’m quite positive this won’t be the last bad review.

### 1/5 — How Original!

*2015-06-18, version 3.7.502*

Hey look!  A Hawaii News Now weather app clone!  Wow!

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Radar

*2020-04-12, version 4.35.290053014*

My radar on this app is not working everything else is working .

### 5/5 — This is a great app!I highly recommend!

*2019-01-21, version 4.30.410039662*

No ads good!I had discovered this app and installed it.
Hawaii news now no good they have an ad pop up when u read the news and weather.
It get’s annoying.
This app here has the weather right away the same page as where u can pick to see which news u want to read.
Just like YouTube that has ads of anyone I not go to their channel cause annoying everyone ads.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-01-20, version 4.30.410039662*

A must have for all in Hawaii

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2018-09-21, version 4.30.410039662*

Great work for updating the public.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — That local news app

*2018-09-02, version 4.30.410039662*

Great app great channel
