WKRN Weather Authority Reviews

by Land0of0Lee

I want to like WKRNWeatherAuthority, I really do. During the tornado warnings on March 25th WKRNWeatherAuthority would alert me almost 10 minutes after the weather radio went off. The other problem is that when you do finically get the alert I have to go into WKRNWeatherAuthority , wait for it to upload, wait for an Ad them get the warning! We would be dead if we relied solely on WKRNWeatherAuthority. Plus when we were watching WKRN once it got close to where we live, they stopped forcasting! We still had a tornado warning! We are in the viewing area!!!! This happened last year with the tornado. People died last year!!! We had dear friends lose family and homes. If I could give no stars I would. You need to fix the issues.

People download these apps for important weather updates, but WKRNWeatherAuthority spams you constantly with nonsense alerts that are half a state away or completely benign. It is gross to pop up with “new tornado warning in your area” every 20 minutes when the warnings are actually several counties away. How am I supposed to know when there are actually warnings near me? This is counter intuitive and actually causing more risk. Danielle Breezy has cried wolf so many times that I’m now deleting WKRNWeatherAuthority .

Having some major issues with WKRNWeatherAuthority . Even though location is always on it won’t use my location. It keeps the weather on a location that is far from where I live. Also wish I could find a way to set it to severe weather alerts to my location only. I don’t like getting every weather notification that’s comes out. I don’t need notifications every 2-3 minutes about the severe weather in places hundreds of miles from me.

App in the past few days constantly says “This application is not available in your current location” every time I try to open it. I have used WKRNWeatherAuthority for years and never had this occur and now WKRNWeatherAuthority won’t even open for me at all. Even after redownloading. I haven’t moved and still live in middle Tn. It just suddenly doesn’t work. Fix this please as it’s utterly useless now.

I used to get sounds for alerts, now all I get is Danielle Breezy informing me of a weather alert even though my settings are for sounds. Trust me, if a tornado is bearing down on me, I don’t want hear Danielle telling me to check my app. I’ve used this for years but am really disappointed as of late. When the last round of storms/tornados came through, I didn’t even get an alert and that’s not acceptable. Thankfully we weren’t affected by the tornadoes, but to not even get a storm alert? Not good.

I really liked WKRNWeatherAuthority before the last update. Now it insists I keep my location on all the time, instead of when I'm just using WKRNWeatherAuthority . Also the ads pop up at inconvenient times, like when you are trying to see the map, to check where severe weather is. The ads should be removed or at least give the user an option to turn them off. I find this to be a safety issue, since I use this to help keep my family safe.

I used have used WKRNWeatherAuthority for several years and preferred it to all others I have tried. However the update is cumbersome, slow and difficult to maneuver. I will be searching for another app that is more user friendly.

As with other i agree with the negatives , audio videos way too much, too many ads , warnings for counties not close but says IN your areas? During Severe weather hoping WKRNWeatherAuthority focuses on our chosen area ?

by Rose Petty

WKRNWeatherAuthority itself is fine. Works as intended. A few too many ads but I get it. But why do my push notifications have to say “I’m chief meteorologist Danielle Breezy and you have a new weather alert”. Just give me a sound like before. Half the time the “alert” is to watch the news. Good word. I really enjoy it after I’m bed for the night. Just stop. I’m tired of hearing her voice constantly. To the point I’m considering deleting an app I’ve had forever. It’s that annoying.

Use and love WKRNWeatherAuthority , appreciate the quick info (not so much the ads loading in life & death situations) and heads up overall. Unfortunately over the past couple of months I’ve received ‘tornado warning in our area’.. and there’s nada, nilch, zero warnings on my Weatherscope app. Get the tornado warning bug out, nix the adverts in serious situations and it’d be a five star app.

Weather team in Nashville updates the videos frequently throughout the day which is great. App / layout is ok though but everyone seems to use that same format theses days so oh well. The same pop up ad is insanely annoying every time it takes up the whole screen and sometimes wont close on my iPhone X! Fix please.

by Yourgrandpawouldhateapple

This is the first time for severe weather since I installed WKRNWeatherAuthority. I’m getting tornado warnings “in your area” that are for cities 50 miles away. Then I open WKRNWeatherAuthority and have to watch the video to see where the warning is. Next app….

App works ok maybe great but a standard tone sound for alerts is best. Can’t have this thing talking at me all hours of the day and night. A tone is non intrusive. A sentence of speech is more intrusive. Thank you.

This is a great app for checking temperatures and radar...BUT...during storms and extreme weather it constantly closes out and won't work. Like tonight during the storms, I can close out WKRNWeatherAuthority and try over and over to open it then it will close right back.
The same thing happened not long ago on a stormy day when there were school closings. This is a design flaw that needs to be fixed!

by JamieSnyder21

Love the facelift! Nice job! Love the daily videos as always. But need to lose the pop-up ads ... very annoying. Thanks for the great app ... morning videos are part of my daily routine. Keep it coming!

Too many warnings about heavy rains outside. Makes me very annoyed that often only 15 minutes apart! Video clips too frequent. Suggestion- use audio to lead
with areas/counties affected

i have no problem with it EXECPT sometimes it’s not accurate like on the map it’ll say it’s raining but it’s actually not raining, just cloudy. and when there’s a tornado warning sometimes it doesn’t put it on the map till later.

So much more user-friendly — a million times better than the old weird carousel layout! This is my favorite weather app.

by Titanskol

When I use WKRNWeatherAuthority I get great quality and accurate weather reports overall this is a great app to have

This WKRN weather app is a great help to our family! WKRN weather alerts are helping our family be prepared for any change in weather around the clock. Well done team WKRN!

New update=can’t find anything you want easily. Very disappointed. Will probably delete when I finish this review. Ugh.

by HeyitRach

I LOVEEE WKRNWeatherAuthority, but since the latest update it never works for me. It occasionally worked at first, but now when I open it it doesn't show anything but the face. This weather all has been the most helpful to me since I downloaded it so please fix the bugs that are in the system. I really don't want to have to look for another one. Thank you so much!!

by Tcoombes

WKRNWeatherAuthority is great except the livestream of the newscasts seems to freeze about every 5 minutes. When it does, I have to open my phone, restart WKRNWeatherAuthority , navigate to the livestream, and start it up again.

by RedCotton

The radar it to delayed. You would get blown away by the time it updates.

by Duckcsm

I liked it better with the green background. The black is hard to see. Other than that it’s a good app and works very good.

by Johnsonboys3

I LOVE WKRNWeatherAuthority....when it works. It always shuts down on me though, especially during storms. If y'all can fix the glitches then it will be amazing, but until then I've had to download other weather apps. Honestly I do like your layout and uses the very best....so please fix it!

by KTMoy

This update is fine but it doesn’t rotate when I have my device in the landscape position. The ads will rotate do but the content will not . If you fix the lock you have on the screen rotation for your content that would be great.

by Shangirl1234

The main screen has several boxes to swipe thru including: daily forecast, hourly forecast, radar, latest school closing, latest blogs, latest weather video forecasts. Accurate local weather. I was using Yahoo weather for general use but with bad storms coming in, I prefer WKRNWeatherAuthority to give me better information and updates.

by Nbleak21

I was skeptical picking up a news channel's weather app, fearing it would only give me the most mundane of information, but WKRNWeatherAuthority is great! A Full Featured app that is easy to navigate, at a cost that is, well, none! WKRNWeatherAuthority will be replacing my NOAA weather radar Plus app for everyday use!
