4.8 out of 5

Decent app BUT...

2022-05-22

The intensely annoying problem with KATVChannel7Weather is that it makes you wait approximately 8 seconds looking at the splash/logo screen before it opens. The wait time goes down to 5 seconds if KATVChannel7Weather is already in memory. It is a relatively small app at 40mb, so the long wait times are by design.
The irony is this “feature” exists in an area with more than its share of turbulent weather where every second counts.
It has decent layout and content once you finally get to it.
I deleted KATVChannel7Weather in favor of a more responsive solution.

Dec ‘17 update takes three step backwards

2022-06-23

For an APP that’s used (especially) in cases of severe weather and warnings- look for one that is more streamlined and with more immediate access.

Have used and depended on KATVChannel7Weather on both an iPad and iPhones for several years until this most recent update. The forecasts are reliable and as accurate as current science allows, however the presentation in this upgrade render it too fraught with inconvenience for the time spent to open and load.

* For mobile use and cellular data, the additional video feed load is superfluous and should be an optional item. Arkansas is a rural state with peaks and valleys and is oftentimes spotty between towers even on the interstates. For commuters having to travel in less populated areas, checking the forecast right before going off-grid now requires forethought and cannot be left to the last minute.

** Even on fiber optic high speed it takes longer to load for home use— going to the website has been quicker.

*** the cloud background behind the forecast renders white text illegible. NOTE: this has been fixed in more recent updates.

**** too many advertisers per screen, I would pay for KATVChannel7Weather if there were NO sponsors and it were streamlined.

Can’t read forecast after last update

2022-07-24

I like KATVChannel7Weather because it is simple and easy to find the information I need. The latest update looks nice but the cloud background is the same color as most of the numbers and makes the forecast much harder or sometimes impossible to read.

Fix it please

2022-08-25

I have been using KATVChannel7Weather for several years now and the only dissatisfying this has been that it takes a while to load, up until now. It now crashes upon opening it. I depend on KATVChannel7Weather for accurate forecasts and in cases of severe weather. FIX IT PLEASE

Frustrating

2022-09-26

Maps take a while to download. Trying to watch the weather video is impossible. I can’t get passed movie commercials. Will download a weather app from another channel!

Waving arms

2022-10-27

Chanel 7 would be berry good if you would stop your Chief Barry from doing all the arm waving finger pointing and all of his other moves he does we can see the weather map. And we know where we live we can see the weather moving in just little point standing aside will be gone. His arm waving finger pointing, fake rain or snow in studio is not necessary. Just tie him up and see if he can do the weather !!! Like all the other weather people do!! Please stop his crap!!!

App is good most of the time

2022-11-28

I like KATVChannel7Weather for quick access to the weekly weather and radar when necessary but I have had problems lately with the map not loading and currently can’t even see what the forecast says because the writing is in white and the background is blue with white clouds.

Weather app

2022-12-29

Your weather app is not very accurate. You are mostly wrong predicting when rain/ snow will begin and end. Your app forecast for temperatures does not match what is predicted on air. A ten day for cast is useless and always wrong. Your accuracy is fairly good 3 days out- beyond that you’re guessing.

My go to spot

2023-01-30

My go to for all my weather info and up to date coming weather events . Very accurate and precise , love it. Thank you Channel Seven !!

Enjoy checking Weather at my convenience!

The Best by Far

2023-04-01

This is my Go-To Weather App, because I can depend on its accuracy. It just never lets me down. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Weather report

2023-05-03

Love it weather report is spot on help with my day to day planning working outside plus the alerts too.

Perfection and complete professionalism !

2023-06-03

The KATV Weather app is always on my primary page of apps. I use it almost daily. It takes a lot for me to trust anything and I can say the team at KATV is the best. Watching the storm coverage tonight, (Sunday, March 6th) absolutely blew me away. The professionalism and knowledge is unsurpassed. Barry, Todd and James were awesome. I’ve watched all the other networks, as well as those out of state and there is NO comparison. Thank you KATV for your superior coverage of our states weather. You guys truly are life savers!!

app is great

2023-07-05

KATVChannel7Weather is probably the best app for weather. It is usually accurate and it tells you what the weather is gonna be like 2 days ahead.

Thank you

2023-08-05

The channel seven weather team are the best by far. Their forecasting is accurate as can be each member of team brings their own unique contributions to the awesome job they do🙏

Cannot get App

2023-09-06

Have been receiving KATVChannel7Weather for several months until three days ago. Now the home page appears but no other info or data can be displayed. What’s the problem

Channel 7 weather

2023-10-08

This new update makes it very hard to read ! Please change something. Always found KATVChannel7Weather very useful but now it takes forever to check daily forecasts.

Thank you

2023-11-08

I appreciate the easy access to hourly weather. This icy week was less stressful because of KATVChannel7Weather . I knew when to cover stairs (tarp)for protection so when the precipitation ended, tarp moved, my dogs had access to the yard.

Watching the weather

2023-12-10

I love ❤️ my 7 weather app. I can see what the weather at my house and go to my friends in Ky . I was watching whenTornadoes went through our state and through Kentucky. Call my friend told him to get ready it’s on its way .!! And it did , he thanked me for the heads up . Thank you channel 7.

Ch 7 weather app

2024-01-10

I like the format; it is user friendly. I like being able to view details for each day or just overall forecast. I know I look at it many times per day! Thanks for the weather updates, since we know in Arkansas it changes so quickly!!!!!!😁👍. Great job weather crew!!!

HORRIBLE UPDATE

2024-12-16

Y'all made a decent app terrible. Looking at the long-term forecast cannot see temperatures because of the clouds in the background. There is no contrast to make it visible. You can't put white numbers on top of white clouds and expect people to be able to read it. Ridiculous

Warnings!!!!!!!!

2024-12-16

Who decided to make the Thunderstorm watches and warnings RED? Tornadoes warnings are common here. Your alerts radar is unreadable to be able to tell which is which. Fire them and bring Ned back if you can’t make this user friendly like it was a few months ago.

Messed it up!

2024-12-16

It was a great app before the last update. Now It is hard to see with the font and background combo. Also can’t find the full screen radar button. Fix it quick or I’ll stay using Channel 16’s weather app.

Never ending updates

2024-12-16

Seems as if KATVChannel7Weather is in a never ending loop of updates? Update app. Then update app again and again and again...repeat!

Eh

2024-12-16

Extremely slow to load. The forecast videos aren’t timely so why put them on here? Still difficult to read font with the cloud background. KATVWX tells us to download it, but it would help to fix the issues. Two stars for improved radar. I have another weather app for backup.

Boooo

2024-12-16

App takes entirely too long to load. Most times my phone will time out and lock before KATVChannel7Weather even opens. I like that the weather is typically more accurate and I can get alerts pushed to my phone, but it is no help if the thing won’t even open and load for me to see where a storm is.

White cloud background too light

2024-12-16

The latest upgrade has bright white clouds on the screen which makes reading much more difficult. I’ve used KATVChannel7Weather for quite a while but with this change I’m searching for something better. More legible.

Last update is a mess

2024-12-16

I used to use KATVChannel7Weather all the time but this last update has made it impossible to read. The background and the text are the same colors. Did anyone proof this before releasing it? I will be using weatherbug from now on

None Better

2024-12-16

This is no longer the best in state app radar opens little rock can't quickly ck other states as I plan for a trip
GK

Issues finding network

2024-12-16

Even when every other app is on the Internet KATVChannel7Weather hen first opened has problems find the internet. The only way to fix is to force close KATVChannel7Weather . This is getting to be a pain.
