User Reviews

WKRN Weather Authority is a long-standing weather app with customizable alerts, but users report significant downsides: heavy ads, poorly localized and excessive notifications, unreliable radar, frequent crashes, and inconsistent forecasts. Users want fewer interruptions, better localization, and improved reliability while retaining the trusted alerting features.

Pros

Long-standing go-to weather app trusted for years.
Customizable alert/notification options to focus on relevant warnings.
Supports tracking weather for multiple locations within the same app.

Cons

Intrusive ads and long pre-rolls before videos that disrupt usage.
Alerts are often not well localized and can overwhelm with irrelevant warnings.
Radar/storm-tracking features can freeze or fail to load during storms.
App stability issues like crashes or failing to open after updates.
Forecasts can be inaccurate or not match actual weather conditions.

This has been my go to weather app in Tennessee for years. So sad to see it completely rendered useless with ads. You open the app you get an ad, you click on any tab you get an ad, the tab doesn’t load and you click it again, you get another ad! Absolutely insane! If I need to check Weather, you can’t make me sit through 1:30 of ads before I can get to my radar.

There’s no way to set which events to alert on and which to ignore. Do I want to know about tornado watches and warnings? Absolutely. Do I need to know about each and every lightning strike… after the fact? Makes me just want to turn off notifications or delete the app.

App used to be great then they sold ad space. Now you have a 10 second delay whenever you load the app and then another 10 second ad runs when u look at the radar. Nothing like being in a serious situation and having to wait for a nonsensical ad to finish before seeing the tornado alerts
