News 6 Pinpoint Weather WKMG Reviews

by LosingsleepinFlorida

New- app is not working but the alerts keep coming. I can get no current weather forecast. All the readings are zero. It is most definitely not zero degrees or percentage humidity!

Too many updates. I get updates every 6 minutes at times for light rain conditions. While stationary, about every 20 minutes. There is no way in settings to adjust for emergency alerts only that I can find.

I liked News6PinpointWeatherWKMG much better in the previous format. Since the update to the current format, the radar pictures barely even move. I liked it better before when I could bring up News6PinpointWeatherWKMG and instantly see the moving radar images for my location.

App shuts down and drops me out when playing videos of current weather statements. Several times in a row. Sometimes plays other times takes me completely out of News6PinpointWeatherWKMG .

This is a great app overall, but I do have a couple things I wish News6PinpointWeatherWKMG had. And for the record, Tom Sorrells is by the the best Meteorologist in the business and not just in Orlando.

- No FutureCast Radar
I really wish I could access FutureCast radar so I know where the storms are heading next and when at the push of a button.

- No AD-Removal Option
This is a great app and one of the things that ruins the in-app experience is banner ads and pre-roll video ads. I understand ads are needed to pay for the cost of maintaining News6PinpointWeatherWKMG , but I would also like the ability to remove ads with a one time or annual payment.

- No StormPins Viewer
I know that StormPins is a separate app, but I wish I could at least view StormPins from News6PinpointWeatherWKMG.

App is good, but Radar would be more valuable as a forecast... like the Weather Channel app does. Showing rain that passed through an hour ago is of no value... showing rain coming through my area in the next hour or two would be nice to know!

I have lived in Central Florida (Lake County) for 23 years. While I think the CBS NBC And ABC affiliates all have very good meteorological teams I have landed on WKMG. Tom Sorrells and team are excellent at covering all of us..which means those of us
In outer counties not just coastal areas and/or Orlando. Thank you for caring about us too and keeping us ALL informed. Your county by county impact is spot on and very much appreciated. And along with your already great compliment of meteorologists
Your new addition of Jonathan is terrific..he is very very good and an excellent addition.

Enough coverage of local sports or ant sports

You faithfully, consistently give an accurate, easy to understand presentation of our interesting Florida weather! Thanks for your calm but direct reports in times of danger, and for your encouraging words in every situation. Tom, thanks for your leadership. I look forward to your insights and your easy to listen to and accurate and scientific approach. Thanks to all the staff. My go-to station for many years. God bless you all!

Tom Sorrells is always on the job and is THE BEST METEOROLOGIST anywhere 👍🏽‼️ Florida is the most difficult state to forecast due to it being a peninsula with the Hot Gulf of Mexico to our west and our Gulf Stream and the changing Atlantic Ocean, God Bless You Tom Sorrells Thank You for always being there for us! I'm a 9th Generation Floridian and we love you❤️💟❣️

Not a fan of the update. The old version was much better. Some things should just be left alone.

The only one that likes change is a baby with a crappy diaper. Now News6PinpointWeatherWKMG stinks like that.

by Cronkite Grad

No panic, solid understanding of the systems and what to expect and when.
I’ve worked in newsrooms for years, you guys are some of the best.
“Tom said it would be like this”. He’s pretty much always right.

by Robyn Mk

Love news 6! I can always count on them with accurate weather updates during a storm, and I’m so greatful for that! Rode out many of them and they were always there right there with us! Thank you news 6! ❤️

I use an iPad for News6PinpointWeatherWKMG and find it annoying that you cannot have the area on the entire screen without having it menu on the left side without having the option of hiding it. Otherwise my rating would be 5 stars.

I think all of channel 6 professionals are truly awesome from how the ladies at the news desk dress to coordinate their outfits. During hurricane Irma, Tom Sorrels, was totally awesome. He told it like it was an did his very best to keep people safe! Sorrels is a very dedicated meteorologist an I have a lot of respect for him. He worked hours an hours during that time. And I appreciated his dedication. Karen Kohl

This is the best weather app I have found. I have tried a lot of others. Great for us living here in Melbourne plus this is our favorite news station. It even helps me when we travel to our daughters in Canton, GA. The radar is the best. All around great app from average weather to hurricanes.

by Robins Maid

I check the weather several times throughout the day and locations for the weather of friends and family. News6PinpointWeatherWKMG is extremely helpful and especially during severe weather. I can always plan my day around your forecasts.

by AJ's Papa

My go to source for both local weather as well as national weather. You can list key cities and get ten day forecasts at a touch. You can see local radar as well as expand to anywhere in the country. I just love this all and also the Pinpoint Hurricane app for tracking storms.

by Kim DelC

Every time it rains in my neighborhood, I bring News6PinpointWeatherWKMG up to see just exactly where the storms are. It is so great to be able to see where the storm is, how big it is, and when I can expect it to pass over. Channel 6 weather is who I trust!

by STORM CHASING GRAMMY

Tom really has a way of making you feel calmer about this crazy weather. I love that since we are evacuees from Miami and survivors of Hurricane Andrew. Tom's style reminds me of my hero Bryan Norcross. Thank you for keeping us informed and safe.

Always look at News6PinpointWeatherWKMG several times throughout the day to get times for the rain to make my plans accordingly
Love Channel 6 News !!!

Thank you for correcting the last update so quickly. News6PinpointWeatherWKMG is outstanding! Also, best radar feature of any app I’ve seen.

by Sonya DLC

Always keeping us up to date on what's happening.
Thank you for all you do. I am so grateful for News6PinpointWeatherWKMG. My husband and I depend on you for our daily work so again, thank you!

Being always on the go I found the Storm and weather app always available 24 hrs a day. A great free way to know what your weather is any time any where. From a retired military weather person.
