But, this darned app plays commercials over the top of the speaker and its bad. Been going on a few months now. Needs a fix. ### 2/5 — Forecast errors *2024-03-25, version 5.13.804* The app will show a different forecast on the app compared to the KIRO TV forecast on the videos recorded the same day. Plus the video forecasts should be updated daily, or more often if it changes on each regular broadcast. ### 2/5 — Radar *2023-10-03, version 5.10.504* Why does it not always work? ### 2/5 — Why I find this page upsetting! *2023-04-11, version 5.7.301* I can look at the temperature on another app on my iPhone. I can never find a way to listen to the people talking on this app! ### 4/5 — Air quality? Why is this not covered? *2022-09-21, version 5.6.506* WWhy is ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2022-08-22, version 5.6.506* Just used it to find today’s forecast. After the fourth ad in a row, I finally got a forecast…for 2 days ago! Yes, there’s a radar, but it’s quick and then more ads. ### 2/5 — Worst app *2022-01-28, version 5.4.901* This has to be one of the most unreliable weather apps out there. It is rarely accurate. ### 3/5 — Lake of weather coverage *2021-03-27, version 5.1.605* Although we live in the viewing area, KIRO 7 rarely covers our weather except on the radar. Then half the time the screen is zoomed in so our area is not in the frame. We live in E Lewis Co. and would love to know what our weather is going to do also. It seems if you don’t live in the metro area, you don’t count. ### 2/5 — News alert, really? *2021-02-22, version 5.1.605* Way too many notifications that are not alerts. We need to know the significant alerts, not insignificant notifications as it has been since I downloaded the app. How about relaying only the impactful weather? Another issue I have is this is ONLY WEATHER “ALERTS” not news alerts. So it should be called “weather alerts”. ### 3/5 — Weather app 7 *2021-02-19, version 5.1.605* App could be improved by a quick summary of the weather prior to all the videos ### 4/5 — Too many commercials. *2021-02-15, version 5.1.605* The coverage is good when you finally get to it. ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-02-12, version 5.1.605* I would like to see more south western Washington weather ### 5/5 — Weather App *2021-02-10, version 5.1.605* This is the best weather app of all the 3 major stations in our area. This is my go to site always. Thank you. Kirkland Steve ### 5/5 — Love pinpoint weather *2021-02-10, version 5.1.605* KIRO weather forecasts are the best because they don’t generalize and say “Seattle will have wind and rain” (for example). They always get specific about when the weather will hit and in what neighborhoods and they’re very accurate! Morgan and Nick are the best!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full of weird ads & slow *2026-05-12, version 6.1.601* The app can be slow and is built around ads. A few of the ads are nsfw, strange for a news weather app. The hourly and radar forecast is helpful, but you have to suffer through janky performance and ads loading and other ad-related issues. If they got rid of the ads, it would be okay. ### 1/5 — Ads, Ads, Ads *2024-11-13, version 5.16.1702* Far Too many advertisements ### 1/5 — KIRO pinpointed weather *2024-10-20, version 5.16.1702* It would help if app works right it doesn’t ? No one ever checks app for problems? ### 1/5 — Just horrible *2024-06-22, version 5.13.804* This app is so needless bloated with add, unrefined and clunky it barely even loads the weather radar map I don’t mind an add here and there but it still needs to function ### 1/5 — Stupid polls *2023-04-05, version 5.7.301* Stistupid polls ### 1/5 — News coverage *2021-02-11, version 5.1.605* Very slanted news coverage ### 1/5 — I’m sure your app got hacked *2019-08-25, version 4.8.900* Please fix. The gps shouldn’t share outside its sandbox. Similar to the UPS app. Yikes ...lmk when fix! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-06-24, version 4.8.600* The app has so many moving parts like videos and ads running it is difficult to find meaningful content. It also jams up my iPhone even though I have plenty of data available. ### 1/5 — Fatal Flaw *2019-05-11, version 4.8* It's a great weather app, in fact, one of the best I've seen. But it has one huge, fatal and disqualifying flaw: Regardless of the community selected, the high and low temps for the day are always for Seattle. Any location you view will only show Seattle's high and low temps. When I noticed this a while back, I brought it to the attention of one of their meteorologists via Twitter. He said he would pass it along to the app developer. Although they just updated the app, it is still showing only Seattle temps. For this reason, the app isn't very useful outside of Seattle. UPDATE 5/11/2019: The new version features pleasant, pastel colors and three stark white ad banners kn the opening screen. Three. This is an advertising platform now, not a weather ap. Don’t need that. Removed. ### 1/5 — Star minus one *2019-04-08, version 4.7.1002* This upgrade is terrible. For a visual it’s a nightmare. More commercials than actual content. I too truly enjoyed the previous format and always relied on it. I am deleting this app and hoping to find a new and better one. You blew it. I give it a minus star rating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PNW best weather reporting ❣️ *2026-03-13, version 6.1.601* Living in PNW the weather is variable. Having meteorologists that are accurate is essential. KIRO 7’s TEAM provides that & more! With the mobile app no matter where I’m @ they provide great updates. ### 5/5 — Weather report *2026-02-09, version 6.1.401* I like that I can see hourly what the weather is going to be in my neighborhood, or wherever I’m traveling to or through. Thank you ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2025-02-13, version 5.17.511* This app is great! I was in Washington DC during snowy weather and I used this apps radar page to see what was going on and to plan accordingly. It worked perfectly. Thanks KIRO 7! 🙂 ### 5/5 — This helps me get the weather alerts. *2024-09-11, version 5.15.411* This helps me get the weather alerts. It’s fun for me ### 5/5 — kiro 7 news *2023-09-07, version 5.10.504* kiro 7 news reporter and ### 5/5 — Very informative *2022-12-25, version 5.6.506* It’s got everything one would want in weather app at the touch of a finger. Very interactive and always up to date. Not always perfect on forecast, but that the Pacific Northwest. ### 5/5 — Honor Privilege *2021-04-07, version 5.2.302* Love this app because the radar gives the EXACT location of the weather specific location from the Doppler Radar. I use it everyday for specific location planning. ### 5/5 — I love KIRO *2021-03-13, version 5.1.605* Love Morgan❤️👍☀️☀️ ### 5/5 — Love the audio alerts *2021-02-14, version 5.1.605* I drive all over that I five Corridor and love the fact that I get a weather alert for the area I’m in ### 5/5 — Great program *2021-02-13, version 5.1.605* Accurate and well laid out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
