Great until this last update
This has been my go to weather app in Tennessee for years. So sad to see it completely rendered useless with ads. You open the app you get an ad, you click on any tab you get an ad, the tab doesn’t load and you click it again, you get another ad! Absolutely insane! If I need to check Weather, you can’t make me sit through 1:30 of ads before I can get to my radar.

Poor updates, preferred the older version
This has been my “go to” app for years. I don’t have the ability to watch the weather forecast through a TV service or streaming app, but I am always up to speed on the weather with my News 2 weather app. That is, until recently. Not sure what has happened, but I can no longer view the forecast from each new cast on the app. Please bring back the daily videos of the 7 day and extended forecast!

Unreliable and unpredictable
Time and time again I check the weather and see a “15% chance of rain” forecast and then overnight it morphs into “severe thunderstorm. High winds and hail possible”. Stop being wrong.
Stop with Danielle Breezing speaking randomly at night and day. I’m dropping this app.
The interruption whenever you want to send it is wrong! I’m sleeping and you’re telling me about lightning? I know there is lightning it’s loud enough. This is an awful feature!!! Intrusive and not what I want or need in my weather app.
Annoying
The fact that this app gives me notifications for areas of TN that are NO WHERE NEAR ME and says “thunder storm warning in your area” is really frustrating. I just got a notification for west Tn and I’m in middle Tn. I got a tornado warning for west Tn Thursday night and freaked out thinking it was middle Tn. Fix your notifications to only be peoples actual locations and maybe you’ll be better than the weather app that comes on the iPhone.

Not great
It gives notifications about weather event, but then it just shows a 15s video with no audio, then it cuts to a persons face and restarts.
I’d either like a longer video with an explanation or just the radar.

Good but…
Downloaded for an overnight storm. Promptly deleting this morning. The LAST thing I want to hear in the middle of the night (besides weather warnings) is Danielle Breezy’s squawking voice. Put some choices out there, WKRN. I would rather hear a robo-voice; not keen on DB at all.
Worthless in a storm
I’m fixing to delete this app it’s worthless. You can’t pull any immediate radar up or video you have to watch three minutes worth of commercials before you can even see anything and if you had a tornado on the other side of the city that three minutes is critical. So be honest you care more about money than you do saving lives. You will be deleted tonight.

Too Many Notifications
The app has an incredible menu for choosing which notifications you want to receive. I only want Tornado warnings, but those settings don’t work. I get all the notifications for small things like thunderstorm and flash flood watches. Don’t give us the options if they don’t actually work.
Convenient but freezes
I like the layout and ease of the app but the radar is always freezing.
Radar technology top notch
These folks have had it going on for years. Best technology, best timings and most up to date information with, in my opinion, closest predictions to what actually happens out of all the weather stations around. Danielle breezy, Davis Nolan, Marcus bagwell, Alex and Shelby mac’n’cheese got it going on! Keep up the great work!

30 second ads before EVERY video now??
WKRN, the way you have suddenly set up a 30 second ad to play right before EVERY video is enough to want to switch apps. This is not responsible advertising positioning. Worst case scenario - What if your viewers are trying to plan for their safety, but they have to wait for a long version ad to play? I’m in marketing, this is a poor practice.

Great app!
I’ve been using this app for many years. I find the radar for precipitation to be fairly accurate. It’s weather people! It changes. These are only forecast mother nature’s gonna do what it’s gonna do. But I think it’s accurate 90% of the time. Not only is a great locally here in Nashville, but I use it when I’m traveling you can look at any city Save cities check up on my folks in Los Angelesand friends in New York, Paris, and New Zealand all from the same app

Ads
Wow, now we have to watch ads before weather updates??!! I used to tell everyone they should get this app, now I'm deleting it. Hope you don't make people watch ads before telling them a tornado is heading their way. I'm sure you have enough money. This is RIDICULOUS!!
Frustratingly Inaccurate
Today I’ve had numerous notifications about “severe weather in our area”. I click on the notification to see that the area isn’t in my location or even close. It’s annoying to check it every time when it’s not pertaining to my area so I uninstalled the app. I should’ve paid attention to other reviews who have the same issue.

The most ridiculous app of all weather apps.
Installed it to keep track of potential tornado warnings instead I got continuous updates of 4 different weather events in 1 minute. I even adjusted my settings to only tornado warnings. Next thing was “you have new storm tracker updates” I’m uninstalling this app as soon as I write this review.
Poor alerts
I keep getting rain/ lightning alerts when there is nothing on the radar and not a cloud in the sky. Very frustrating!
A MUST-HAVE
This app is wonderful, between the traffic updates in the morning, the little mini weather update videos, and the alerts, there’s not much else you could want. My whole family LOVES the “This is New 2 meteorologist Danielle Breezy, LIGHTNING has been detected for your location!” Having those little alerts pop up out of the blue makes my day, as we are all big Danielle Breezy fans and constantly check the weather anyway. This is an app I keep on my phone all the time, it never gets deleted!

A million notifications
I wanted this app to keep me up to date on emergency weather notifications, but I get literally like 30+ notifications for a watch or warning, and often for areas not even close to me, which is dangerous because then I don’t take the warnings as seriously since they don’t always affect me. You need to majorly fix this! It’s dangerous! People might not pay attention to warnings if there’s too many. And idk why it gives dozens of notifications in a row but it’s annoying

Bad update
You used to be able to see the last couple of hours on the radar and see how the weather is trending. Now you can only see the present and the prediction. I prefer to see the track of storms as opposed to where they currently are, to me this is useless.
