User Reviews

User reviews overwhelmingly criticize WKRG Weather's update: users dislike the new design, clunky navigation, and ad-heavy experience. Repeated issues include unusable radar (inaccuracy, brightness, speed), non-working alerts, loading crashes, and non-functional livestreams. A few users still value the radar's NWS warning overlays and the older, simpler data display. Overall, many want the old version back and for the app to fix reliability and usability problems.

Pros

Radar overlays with NWS warnings (polygons) on the map help track severe weather
Radar remains a core feature that some users rely on for storm tracking
Older, simpler layout displayed key data (temperature, conditions, humidity) all in one view (a pro noted by reviewers)

Cons

The new version is clunky, non-intuitive, with too many links and a cluttered UI
Intrusive ads, including full-screen ads on launch, slow down or hinder use
Radar readability/accuracy deteriorated in the new version (clunky, too bright, fast time slider)
Alerts/notifications do not function or are misbehaving (audio alerts removed)
App won't load/crashes or stalls; persistent loading issues
Livestream feeds do not work; links are dead

Recent reviews

The radar screen used to allow you to follow tropical storms and hurricanes. You could tap on an icon to see wind speeds and other information but not anymore. Just found another app that STILL has this feature. Goodbye wkrg weather app!

Alerts do not function as set. You are alerted at 3 am regardless of whether the alerts are turned completely off or not. Finally gave up and just deleted the app.
