User Reviews

User reviews show overall appreciation for the app’s weather forecasts and KTUU branding, with accuracy as a recurring strength. However, repeated issues include intrusive ads and video ads, data inaccuracies or inconsistencies, stability problems (crashes, blank pages, and location handling), and uneven localization of alerts. Addressing ads, data quality, and stability would likely improve satisfaction for a majority of users.
Pros
  • Accurate and reliable weather forecasts for Alaska, with reviews noting the forecasts as the most accurate or generally reliable.
  • Useful weather information that helps with planning and preparedness for daily life and travel.
  • Positive features like First Alert weather and overall favorable perception of KTUU weather coverage.
  • Positive sentiment and trust in KTUU branding and weather reporting.
Cons
  • Ad-heavy experience with intrusive ads and commercials, including ads that interrupt or gate access to content and loud advertising.
  • Inaccurate or inconsistent weather data (hourly/daily temperature mismatches and occasionally outdated information).
  • App instability and crashes (location-specific crashes, blank forecast pages, and settings issues like not being able to delete saved locations).
  • Location-specific notification gaps and poor localization (alerts not matching the user’s selected area, e.g., Seward vs Anchorage).

this app used to be something I looked at so many times every day, especially for the earthquakes But since they changed the format The earthquakes don't work When they show up, they won't tell you where they are I don't know why I have to push buttons to make separate apps My weather progress video that you push play to watch how everything plays out on the map in the future Is stuck at the end and now I just get what's already happened That's been broken for a couple of weeks So basically an app that was my top favorite is completely useless I called them. I told them. Nothing has changed. It's sad because weather and earthquakes were a part of my every day and there is nothing that matches what this app was I don't care for the new News app or this app a shame because what they had worked just fine

The development team has rendered the earthquake feature useless by illustrating all the quakes in the same size. Whereas you easily distinguish between the large, potentially damaging quakes and the hundreds of small shakers we Alaskans get every day. Boo! No one to even complain to. Boo Boo!
