Thank you. ### 3/5 — Horrible ads *2025-05-01, version 5.17.608* The whole Alaska news app. Has bad ads. In the weather,the news all throughout the app. Here’s an example: These cars are for Seniors. What baloney. All throughout the app are ads that are just Poo. I am trying to be nice with my review of this app. Please someone how has a clue. Look at the ads that you run in the app. ### 2/5 — Can’t Look at What I want Without It Taking Me to Something I didn’t Ask For *2025-01-10, version 5.17.509* Don’t Download. Once you open the app you can go just so far into the weather report before it sends you to a page with videos of the forecast that you don’t ask for. I’m deleting it from my phone ### 4/5 — Accuracy? *2024-12-31, version 5.17.509* The current weather tab shows 7° which is pretty accurate but the Hourly tab shows 20° plus as does the Daily tab. Is there not a connection between them? Doesn’t seem to be. ### 4/5 — Accuracy *2024-02-29, version 5.12.704* I follow this weather app because it has the most accurate weather forecasts. I also like the weather updates. ### 2/5 — Should be named Anchorage Weather Source *2023-08-10, version 5.10.500* This app may be good if you live in the Anchorage area, but not so much anywhere else. I selected notification for my area - Seward. I got plenty for Anchorage, none for Seward. Last winter the NWS issued many winter weather advisories that I received on another app. This app sent zero. No point in keeping it. The voice notifications in the early morning hours is beyond annoying. ### 4/5 — I use it for work, does fine. *2023-06-21, version 5.10.400* My company has me work outside everyday, Im a rare case. So i want to know the weather forecast, this ktuu app has performed just fine. Thank you very much. Only 4 stars because i dont believe anyone’s perfect. Your weather forecast is doing just fine, though. ### 3/5 — Please, fewer exclamation points *2021-12-06, version 5.4.804* First, hearing what sounded like Jackie Purcell’s voice suddenly emerge from my phone at 5:45 AM was upsetting. Immediately turned off sound alerts that I hadn’t been aware of existing prior to that. Maybe don’t have that as a feature. Second, getting regular alerts that “A massive amount of snow is about to fall 🥶❄️🌨!” alerts as if I’m supposed to be thrilled about getting more snow after having just shoveled for 4 straight days makes me cranky. Maybe dial back the use of exclamation points? For me these warnings should be akin to telling us missiles are about to rain down on my location. ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately upon opening *2021-07-24, version 5.3.502* Fix this. ### 1/5 — There is absolutely no reason to use this app *2021-07-02, version 5.3.502* This app is inaccurate 90% of the time. It’s like they’re standing outside somewhere guessing weather predictions by starting at the sky. Pointless app…sunshine on the forecast, and it rains or rain on the forecast and it’s sunny🧐👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — App CRASHES !!! *2021-06-14, version 5.3.502* If you select Kaktovik AK, the app CRASHES and you no longer have access to it. Same thing happens if you select zip codes 99724 or 99747. Now that I’ve done this, it no longer works. THERE’S NO WAY TO DELETE THESE LOCATIONS FROM YOUR SETTINGS OR CHANGE THE DEFAULT LOCATION TO PREVENT THE APP FROM CRASHING - THE APP IS NOW TOTAL USLESS GARBAGE. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — don't use anymore *2026-07-01, version 6.2.517* this app used to be something I looked at so many times every day, especially for the earthquakes But since they changed the format The earthquakes don't work When they show up, they won't tell you where they are I don't know why I have to push buttons to make separate apps My weather progress video that you push play to watch how everything plays out on the map in the future Is stuck at the end and now I just get what's already happened That's been broken for a couple of weeks So basically an app that was my top favorite is completely useless I called them. I told them. Nothing has changed. It's sad because weather and earthquakes were a part of my every day and there is nothing that matches what this app was I don't care for the new News app or this app a shame because what they had worked just fine ### 1/5 — New Earthquake Map *2026-06-28, version 6.2.517* The development team has rendered the earthquake feature useless by illustrating all the quakes in the same size. Whereas you easily distinguish between the large, potentially damaging quakes and the hundreds of small shakers we Alaskans get every day. Boo! No one to even complain to. Boo Boo! ### 1/5 — First alert commercial *2025-12-30, version 5.17.804* You have to watch a commercial to watch a video ### 1/5 — Unable to access the weather report itself *2024-10-25, version 5.16.1703* Used to be able to click on the weather report to watch that and get news and live broadcast. Now when I click on it I get a blank page. ### 1/5 — To technical. *2024-01-04, version 5.12.704* Would like a description with the temperature of expected snowfall for the day. ### 1/5 — Weather *2023-03-23, version 5.7.301* Your weather people don’t even come close predicting the snow or the amount falling as is proven today ### 1/5 — Hateful ads *2023-02-18, version 5.7.301* Will be changing weather apps. We are tired of the hateful, divisive “survey” ads all the time! Highlighting the entire Kenai Peninsula in a blizzard warning that is only going to affect the Homer area? Come on! ### 1/5 — No Sound on video *2022-12-05, version 5.5.701* This app would be okay if it worked. The commercials play loud and clear but the actual weather forecast videos drop the sound EVERY TIME. As for the rest of the app; it’s basic. It gives the information needed. Nothing fancy but not looking for a complicated app either. Would like to hear the forecast videos though. ### 1/5 — Not for me *2022-10-13, version 5.5.701* It might be alright if you live in Anchorage but it gives me Palmer weather when I’m 80 miles away ### 1/5 — Not For Me *2022-03-15, version 5.5.600* I’ve been a fan of KTUU for decades but this app was disappointing. I had it for a week before deleting it for multiple reasons. The main deciding factor was the constant adds popping up as navigating through it. I’m glad some enjoy it but it’s not for me. The weather app that came with my phone works just fine. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Weather reporter *2026-04-19, version 6.1.302* I really like the new weather lady on the news cast this Saturday and Sunday She spoke without dropping the flow ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-03-02, version 6.1.302* Love First Alert weather ### 5/5 — Weather Forecast *2025-06-08, version 5.17.608* Thanks for the forecasts. ### 5/5 — Cary pitcher(captain F/V Gambit) *2024-02-13, version 5.12.704* I have lived on Prince of wales since 1971 and being an Alaskan resident watching Alaska weather and being able to see what's coming allows myself and my family to get prepared for what's coming weather wise. This is important due to fact our water supply is raincatch and our home is still in process of being fully insulated so we can make sure we have fuel for stoves, firewood for wood stoves and gas for our emergency generators. We appreciate you. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2023-01-27, version 5.7.301* On your tv ad it’s said that there’s also an earthquake “tracker” included, but I can’t find it in the app. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-11-22, version 5.5.701* Thanks so very much ### 5/5 — Anchorage *2022-06-21, version 5.5.701* I Love this weather appl. Thank you !!! Delores Tuttle 907 884-5989 ### 5/5 — Alaska’s weather source *2021-10-05, version 5.3.502* I’m very happy with this app and I’m glad that channel 2/ KTUU has decided to offer the app to people! ### 5/5 — Charlie’s parent *2021-06-13, version 5.3.502* Thank you Alaska News Source!! you guys should have a news person or weather person in all places that need to know. probably one in near them ### 5/5 — Weather map *2021-05-28, version 5.3.502* The weather map keeps changing after you stop it on both my ipad and iphone and this is causing battery to run down faster. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
