It gives notifications about weather event, but then it just shows a 15s video with no audio, then it cuts to a persons face and restarts. I’d either like a longer video with an explanation or just the radar.

Downloaded for an overnight storm. Promptly deleting this morning. The LAST thing I want to hear in the middle of the night (besides weather warnings) is Danielle Breezy’s squawking voice. Put some choices out there, WKRN. I would rather hear a robo-voice; not keen on DB at all.
I’m fixing to delete this app it’s worthless. You can’t pull any immediate radar up or video you have to watch three minutes worth of commercials before you can even see anything and if you had a tornado on the other side of the city that three minutes is critical. So be honest you care more about money than you do saving lives. You will be deleted tonight.
The app has an incredible menu for choosing which notifications you want to receive. I only want Tornado warnings, but those settings don’t work. I get all the notifications for small things like thunderstorm and flash flood watches. Don’t give us the options if they don’t actually work.
I like the layout and ease of the app but the radar is always freezing.
These folks have had it going on for years. Best technology, best timings and most up to date information with, in my opinion, closest predictions to what actually happens out of all the weather stations around. Danielle breezy, Davis Nolan, Marcus bagwell, Alex and Shelby mac’n’cheese got it going on! Keep up the great work!
WKRN, the way you have suddenly set up a 30 second ad to play right before EVERY video is enough to want to switch apps. This is not responsible advertising positioning. Worst case scenario - What if your viewers are trying to plan for their safety, but they have to wait for a long version ad to play? I’m in marketing, this is a poor practice.
I’ve been using this app for many years. I find the radar for precipitation to be fairly accurate. It’s weather people! It changes. These are only forecast mother nature’s gonna do what it’s gonna do. But I think it’s accurate 90% of the time. Not only is a great locally here in Nashville, but I use it when I’m traveling you can look at any city Save cities check up on my folks in Los Angelesand friends in New York, Paris, and New Zealand all from the same app
Wow, now we have to watch ads before weather updates??!! I used to tell everyone they should get this app, now I'm deleting it. Hope you don't make people watch ads before telling them a tornado is heading their way. I'm sure you have enough money. This is RIDICULOUS!!
Today I’ve had numerous notifications about “severe weather in our area”. I click on the notification to see that the area isn’t in my location or even close. It’s annoying to check it every time when it’s not pertaining to my area so I uninstalled the app. I should’ve paid attention to other reviews who have the same issue.
Installed it to keep track of potential tornado warnings instead I got continuous updates of 4 different weather events in 1 minute. I even adjusted my settings to only tornado warnings. Next thing was “you have new storm tracker updates” I’m uninstalling this app as soon as I write this review.
I keep getting rain/ lightning alerts when there is nothing on the radar and not a cloud in the sky. Very frustrating!
This app is wonderful, between the traffic updates in the morning, the little mini weather update videos, and the alerts, there’s not much else you could want. My whole family LOVES the “This is New 2 meteorologist Danielle Breezy, LIGHTNING has been detected for your location!” Having those little alerts pop up out of the blue makes my day, as we are all big Danielle Breezy fans and constantly check the weather anyway. This is an app I keep on my phone all the time, it never gets deleted!
I wanted this app to keep me up to date on emergency weather notifications, but I get literally like 30+ notifications for a watch or warning, and often for areas not even close to me, which is dangerous because then I don’t take the warnings as seriously since they don’t always affect me. You need to majorly fix this! It’s dangerous! People might not pay attention to warnings if there’s too many. And idk why it gives dozens of notifications in a row but it’s annoying
You used to be able to see the last couple of hours on the radar and see how the weather is trending. Now you can only see the present and the prediction. I prefer to see the track of storms as opposed to where they currently are, to me this is useless.
Downloaded this app due to a tornado warning in Nashville but as soon as I opened it I wanted to delete it. WAY too much information being thrown in your face and it’s impossible to understand what you should be focusing on. Looks like they’re cramming as much info in there as possible without any intentionality. They’d benefit greatly from hiring a product designer to fix this
Love this app. Always good to know what is coming and have time to get you and your family in a safe place if needed. You can set which alerts you want and turn them off when you don’t. Not sure how alerts can be annoying especially when it could save your life. I recommend it
This USE to be the best weather app but now it’s way off every time.. we get rain and radar shows clear , the forecast is never what it says . Sadly i have to find another more accurate one . Go Vols !
WKRN has been my go to channel and weather app for many years but I am considering changing that. The weather app has been declining in both performance and functionality - no radar in the midst of storms for instance - and with this last update it doesn’t even open! 😕
I used to love this app but lately I’ll get notifications that say “there’s a tornado warning in your area” when it’s no where near. I’ve tried and tried to change settings so that I only get alerts for my selected areas. Also, I’m not sure if the app was recently updated but every time I try to load the app the last few days it crashes. Going to be deleting it!!
People download these apps for important weather updates, but the app 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 the app.
Having some major issues with the app. 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.
This is the first time for severe weather since I installed this app. I’m getting tornado warnings “in your area” that are for cities 50 miles away. Then I open the app and have to watch the video to see where the warning is. Next app….
I am so sick and tired of hearing “this is Danielle Breezy with another update”. It’s so annoying I’m about to delete the app. Now the banner notifications say there’s a tornado warning in my area but doesn’t say the county unless I open the app. This does nothing to help me. Other local stations put what county in the notification so we know it’s close to us. I opened the app on this last alert today that is supposedly for my area and it’s over 2 hours away from me. Not helpful at all. I don’t have time to keep opening the app to check
When I use the app I get great quality and accurate weather reports overall this is a great app to have
Almost every time I open the app it thinks I care about Boston even though I keep deleting that and only have “follow me “ selected. I get constant notifications because heavy rain, clear skies, I don’t know just want to interrupt whatever you were doing; but when there is bad weather…nothing. This app is at best inapt at worst malicious. I would say I would be surprised a station would allow such incompetence to use its name but then I turn on the tv. Then I wonder if they have any clue what white balance means or even lighting, controlled transitions, ext and know that professionalism also means nothing to them in general so why am I surprised the app doesn’t work.
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!
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.
This is the only weather app I use love it
Use and love the app, 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.
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 want to like this app, I really do. During the tornado warnings on March 25th this app 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 the app, wait for it to upload, wait for an Ad them get the warning! We would be dead if we relied solely on this app. 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.
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.
The funny man. That’s it. He makes my morning.
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 this app for years and never had this occur and now the app 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.
It keeps telling me this app does not work in my area even though I live in middle Tennessee so I’m not sure what the problem is. Please fix
App will not stay up during severe weather.
Each time we have lost power and are sitting in a closet trying to get weather, we get repeated ad pop ups! We can’t ever seem to get the important information we need.
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 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.
The radar it to delayed. You would get blown away by the time it updates.
The app 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.
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.
I used have used this app 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.
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!
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.
New update=can’t find anything you want easily. Very disappointed. Will probably delete when I finish this review. Ugh.
I really liked this app before the last update. Now it insists I keep my location on all the time, instead of when I'm just using the app. 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.
The app 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 the app, navigate to the livestream, and start it up again.
