Review summary

Users appreciate the app's comprehensive and easy-to-navigate weather information, including radar and forecasts for multiple locations. However, many express frustration with frequent loud alerts and notifications, intrusive and misleading ads, app glitches and freezing, and settings that do not persist. These negative experiences have led some to uninstall the app despite liking its core weather features.

App is easy to use and well designed with separate tabs for different weather information
Radar feature is organized, responsive, and easier to use than other weather apps

Cons

Excessive and repetitive notifications, sometimes about obvious conditions like sunny weather
Loud and frequent alert sounds that users cannot disable, which can be disruptive especially in quiet environments
Too many intrusive full-screen and video ads, including misleading ads resembling weather alerts
App often glitches, freezes, or fails to load videos and content properly
Settings such as turning off voice alerts do not always save, causing frustrations
Security concerns reported due to unwanted game apps and ads installing or running unexpectedly

2025-01-29	Na*****	The app tries to do too many things at once. Give an alert, state what the alert is. Update, then give the update. Cut the ads

2024-12-07	Ju*****	7Dec24 TV 6 Omaha Weather App remains the Best. 6Dec22 Easy to use. Provides key weather facts & figures. Easy to view other locations. Easy to adjust viewable weather elements. Well designed for users. 7Dec23 None of the other weather apps that I have tried are even close to 6 News Weather App. . Current, Hourly, Daily, Radar have separate tabs. Other apps jumble everything together. You can easily select other cities, worldwide. Radar offers you a selection of weather conditions to monitor.

2024-06-15	Lo*****	Everything is good, but years ago the meteorologists, ie Dale Munson, used to give the air pressure and whether it was rising or falling. It was very helpful to know that when the barometric pressure was dropping. Based on my education, a front, possible precipitation and even a storm was coming. I would suggest that you provide that information again to be better than your competitor stations. Plus, a button (option) to turn off Rusty when I go to bed at night, so it doesn't wake me up with, "T

2024-06-11	Ge*****	10 June 2024 The Radar is better organized, more responsive, and easier to use than other weather apps. Though, I do wish it provided a longer history, and a longer projection time. 17 Mar 2022 Omaha Channel 6 Weather App provides current, hourly, and ten day forecasts that are quick and easy to access. . Other channels' apps are slow, poorly organized, or mess up your phone. . 6 Weather is the superior choice.

2024-06-08	An*****	The radar is great. I like seeing the video updates and hourly weather. What I don't like is how many notifications I get. When a notification is dismissed the same exact one will pop up, sometimes immediately. Often the same few notifications will pop up multiple times in a day. I didn't want to turn notifications off because it's a reliable weather app, but it gets too be too much.

2023-05-07	Ci*****	ALWAYS inaccurate & inconsistent STOP SPAMMING ME! There is NO reason to pop up a full screen ad when I open the app! Reporting & deleting! News temps are different than app! Completely unreliable! I have to go back to other news app. Theres a weather alert but No details! No warning in advanced like other one gives. Prompted review then wouldn't go back to app. So annoying, negative one star. When stormy the widget takes off the next few days to replace it with radar, Idk what that graph means.

2023-04-15	Bm*****	This app is really going down 👎 hill. Often on the hourly it calls for wintery mix when well above freezing. Like tonight into tomorrow for my area wintery mix at 40° again at 37° And yes like others have said, everytime you touch the screen while in the app you get another ad. Fix the wreck before I hit eject (delete) 🤣
