Not as good as the old version

The temperature is often way off the actual temperature, the map doesn't work well and sometimes it doesn't load at all.

Removed video forecast?!

This app no longer plays the video forecast which is the only thing it was good for.

Noice

Way more accurate than apple weather app 🙂

Not working on iPad

The app stopped loading on my iPad about a month ago. I just deleted it, then reinstalled it. Still just sits there, purple title screen. All updates have been done, and my iPad isn’t even a year old.

Weather

Best weather report in Oregon recommend to anyone who loves weather.

Tremendous

App

KGW Weather App

I start my day with this each and every day

KGW weather app logo

The logo is in the way. Why doesn’t it go away once I’m in the app. Really annoying. Otherwise a good app

Good app

I like the app’s layout and map a ton.

Videos play even after exiting app.

Starting around Monday, October 25, 2021 the app has changed slightly. Now asks users to be tracked for targeted advertising and the video feature now continues to play even after exiting the app. When I try returning to the app to turn off the video, I’m unable to find the video and turn it off. So I end up deleting the app and reinstalling it. What was once a 5 star app is now a 1 star nightmare.

Logo in middle of screen

Logo in middle of screen blocks out daily and hourly info! Have to scroll to see....cannot get all info at a glance! Deleted app within 10 minutes of downloading🤷🏻‍♀️

Good app one major flaw

Good app, easy to use, good interface, etc. It has one very annoying feature. The KDW logo remains floating over much of the text making it difficult to read on the iPad. I can’t see a way to get rid of it.

It’s really annoying because it’s right on top of what you are reading.

Good, but annoying!

The info is good, but I cannot make the logo disappear from the middle of the screen!!! Everything scrolls behind the logo so it is very hard to feel relaxed while trying to read what’s on the screen.

Great weather app.

Very accurate,great graphics.

Terrible

Feels like this app hasn’t been updated in years. Consistently have issues watching videos of forecasts.

TV Versus app

Why can I be watching the TV and the app and the weather report on the TV are completely different this seems rather absurd?!

Roddie Rocks!

Always count on the guys on 8 for the forecast....and having a Clark Co neighbor making sure we’re included in the conversation is great!

Problematic update

Ever since the most recent “update” the large white “Portland weather KGW8” logo now remains OVER the data I’m trying to read., rendering the app near useless. Extremely annoying.

Good weather.. Astoria down a lot!!!

Only better is weather channel.
Local is the best..
Rod Hill, Matt are the best in Portland!!
The logo stays on throughout the maps...
Very frustrating.
I tried deleting and reinstalling but it stays... fix it!

Wud prefer solid background

Rating Update refers to v4.7.5
Now a 5 star app! Everything I need, clearly available AND easy to read. Thank you!

It’s really a 5 Star app with everything most people wud need.
BUT
I gave it 3 Stars because it’s very difficult to read. As lovely as it is, the background photo of kayak on the dock makes it too hard to read print for hourly and daily forecasts. Perhaps I’m missing how to change it in settings but if that’s the case maybe where & how to change it needs to be easier to find. If there isnt a way to change it plz consider adding that option
