Knoxville Weather - WATE Reviews

by Sam.Zzz

Been using this as my go-to weather app for years but suddenly it just pops up a message saying “This application is not available in your current location.” Can’t do anything but force close it. Thing is, I’m in the viewing area and haven’t changed locations at all. Guess it’s time to delete and move to something else. It’s a shame because I’ve always found the WATE forecast to be the most accurate for my rural location. 😞

This was my favorite weather app until it started featuring at least two obnoxious pop up ads with sound: a Robocall killer ad more annoying than a Robocall and a NOAA ad with sound that startles everyone around worse than a thunderstorm. I don’t want or need sudden sound on a pop up ad. STOP THIS PRACTICE! Please.

Just keeps telling me gps location failed or something to that effect.

I have to accept the terms and conditions and set up safe-t net settings almost daily. No matter how many times I set it up and save it, it doesn't seem to store it and I have had several instances where we have dangerous weather in our area and I never received any alerts; upon opening KnoxvilleWeather , I get an error message that states there was "problem configuring safe-T net." I have checked my notification settings on my phone's menu and everything is set to allow notifications from KnoxvilleWeather , if only KnoxvilleWeather could remember it is supposed to notify me of dangerous storms.
Stick to another weather app, because all this consistently provides is a forecast and there are better ones for that.

I uninstalled this today. I don’t trust it and find that it’s horribly inaccurate. I don’t watch WATE anymore either because of all their political attack ads. Trying WBIR for now, and I honestly think the weather app that comes with iPhone is more realizable than WATE.

Used to be go to weather app. Last few months, parts just stopped working across different platforms. I switched. Don’t know what they did but no way to notify them through app

Hate the pop up ads when going to different screens.

Enjoy KnoxvilleWeather , but won’t open at all now. Been like this for several days.

I support WATE and their team but the new addition of loud ads are awful!

by Crzyolepop

More than they were. Cannot look at news items

I’ve used KnoxvilleWeather with all my iPhones but recently I’ve noticed loud ad pop ups

The only thing missing is the temp on a badge for instant temp info, otherwise it's great because I live in the WATE 6 neighborhood and NOT at the airport. With the temp on a badge (icon) I will give it a 5 star rating. Especially great is the alerts during bad weather with satellite info to show exactly where the weather is moving.

It’s a pretty good local weather app. So far it seems fairly accurate. Will update my review once I’ve had it for a while. I do like how you can name and pin point a location.

This weather app has a nice design and several useful features.
Live radar and live streaming of WATE 6 On Your Side newscasts.
And school closings and updated video forecasts.

by Zenzer

Every weather related thing you need in one handy app. I especially like the forecast page that provides a nice summary of the near term weather outlook.

This is a great weather app. The radar graphics are sharp. It also has streaming video which is an improvement over the last version.

Up to the moment, accurate weather forecasting. Fast and easy to check, and easy to navigate to 7-day forecast, with one touch. Print size and graphics easy to view in a hurry.

This used to be good but now it seems like every time I open it now you change the interface around I can't find anything and now today is completely different than what it was when I first got it you need to stick to basics. I'd like to know where to find the weather at without you all changing it every day. Pretty soon you'll have it the weather won't be accurate at all you'll be like the weather channel app

The map/radar page has so many options. Very easy to use

by Just A WX Fan

The latest update to the weather app is great! The swipe-to-navigate feature is clean and easy to use. The best features are the severe weather and lightning push notifications. They seem to work VERY well and give you plenty of advanced notice. I also like that you can watch the Storm Team stream/simulcast during severe weather too. Very handy feature!

by Mattrita

I love being able to see and hear what's happening with the weather. A very cool feature on KnoxvilleWeather.

This is the only wx app I will use for local, accurate weather. It's streamlined, easy to use, and I really like the alerts for severe weather!
