KAIT Region 8 Weather Reviews

by Kthielemier

The ads are a bit much. I just want to see a quick weather update I don’t want to have to watch an ad that’s almost as long as the video. The worst part is the video won’t stay full screen unless I turn my phone in just the right direction. The radar is nice but it’s slow. The notifications about weather near me is nice too but if you’re serious about weather I wouldn’t recommend KAITRegion8Weather. If you just want little alerts every now and then it’s alright.

The new storm tracks colors and icons are confusing and annoying to try and keep up with, especially during severe weather. If it’s confusing for a twenty something year old, imagine how confusing it is for an elderly person! Time for another weather app, I suppose. Hope the developers plan to change it soon! If it changes, I’ll be back!

I have had KAITRegion8Weather for almost a year. Husband has it too. All of the sudden the other day, it started saying not available in your area. Weird, because it worked just this morning in the same place. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t solve it either. I liked KAITRegion8Weather , but I won’t keep it if this isn’t fixed. Waste of space on my phone at this point.

KAITRegion8Weather has so much potential. It used to work ok..... but JUST ok. Not very accurate with the weather and the radar, when tapping on future, turns everything to a weird cartoon level map.
But now, won’t open. Refuses to work. Uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared my cookies/cache, and restarted my phone’s everything is up to date and now I can’t get passed the first screen. I don’t even get the ad everyone is complaining about.
Welp, I guess it’s back to ACCUWEATHER, which is a pain, but at least it works and is much more accurate.

I love our news and weather team, but to check a quick weather report or see an update when I get an alert on my phone should not require a 30 second full volume commercial. I get that advertising pays the bills- but advertisers should know that I now automatically connect your business to the frustration level I have with KAITRegion8Weather. Show me some still images, or make it short and sweet. This is not TV.

When moments count and you need live feed you still have commercials first. When the storm hit last week I pulled up my app and and had to watch a 30 second commercial before I got the live feed. Just saying. Need someone to sponsor the commercial free when there’s thunderstorm warning

by PaulaSue2x

I don't mind the commercial at the beginning, but everytime my phone times out or i switch between apps i have to watch the commercial over and over again, it should start where i left off at least for a while.

It is a great weather app. I’ve used it all over the US with good results. But…it’s very annoying to be forced to watch the start up pages every time it is opened or brought up from the background.

I love being able to check the weather anytime BUT I have to delete and reload at least once a month. Right now it won’t even reload.

Easy to check and stay informed using KAITRegion8Weather. Life saving during severe weather outbreaks.

by Jimmy Ashely

Really like using your app along with my family. Daily usages from all my family.
One thing that hasn’t happened unlike the KAITV8 news app. Unable to get to the News App because of locations services. I don’t allow any app to track myself. Would hate to have stop using the Weather App if force to used!
Thank for a Great App.

by Morelli's Mom !

We love this weather app. I travel a lot and it’s always accurate no matter what part of the country I’m in ! Thanks for being here

by Hair_force

I bet I check KAITRegion8Weather 10-15 times a day. Always works, runs smoothly, beautiful graphics. User friendly, easy to navigate.

I’ve been living here in Jonesboro Arkansas for about 6-7 months. I watch KAIT8 every single day. Y’all are the only news & weather station that I watch. Y’all are the best. I have the KAIT8 app on my iPhone and iPad. I definitely give y’all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I live in the Region 8 area. I am on a chat group with hot air balloon pilots from all over the USA. One of the pilots from another state recommended the KAIT weather app as a good resource for weather forecast. I was surprised by his post but KAITRegion8Weather is spot on for our use. Thanks KAIT

Sometimes the weather lies but it’s ok maybe another part of Arkansas but it’s a good app I mean, but only one thing, every time I watch a video on KAITRegion8Weather there’s a mark martin/Kroger/etc ad, please fix this!

by BonnieKayBaker

These guys know by now how everyone in Jonesboro and surrounding areas feel...give them the well deserved Christmas bonus or at the very least, put something a little extra in their Christmas Stocking❣️

by Pounjab

Thanks to the KAIT8 storm team we was very informed of the horrible storms that hit us Friday night .
Alerts came across our phones which allowed us to get to our save zone .
We just want to let you know how much you are appreciated . Thanks again to Ryan Vaughan and the storm team .

Loved the older version, but dislike the new map box. Not user friendly at all. Change it back or find something better.

by BrandonRagsdell

Don't mind a Comercial in apps but in this case put it at the end. When you get a notification of sever weather it makes you watch a Comercial before you can get the information. If minutes count this don't work. Also if app times out you have to watch the Comercials again.

by Crabpie

Freezes up when on radar.

by Sburn85

This is a terribly slow app no matter what my internet connection is. Only reason I have it is because its local.

by Happilywedgal

The badge won’t go away even after reading the alert. This is so irritating. Please fix.

by Dracer809

Have always loved KAITRegion8Weather but since the new update it has glitches and I hate the radar now. It used to be a clear picture and very informative but now has a “cartoonish” look to it that makes it look very low quality.

by Rhia444

Sometimes no sound. Very often there us a video error. But the predictions are awesome. Problems are with KAITRegion8Weather .

by Pocketjam12

Why you guys deleted that option?

by Opangdhhbdjbdnhjd

I love KAITRegion8Weather. I go to KAITRegion8Weather every time there is thunder or lightning near my area. But sometimes on the radar it will not let me choose past, future, or past and future. But either wise I love KAITRegion8Weather and is very helpful.

Ads should not play during a severe weather event. Otherwise, I love it.
