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.

Recent reviews

Used to love this app but the ads make it impossible to use. Switched to another app because of this.

This app was good not too long ago. Now you have a long add that you have to wait through before going in to the app and if you’re under the gun and need radar you get to wait through a second add. Doesn’t seem smart when the weather is bad and you need to see whats going on now!

This has been my “go to” app for years. I don’t have the ability to watch the weather forecast through a TV service or streaming app, but I am always up to speed on the weather with my News 2 weather app. That is, until recently. Not sure what has happened, but I can no longer view the forecast from each new cast on the app. Please bring back the daily videos of the 7 day and extended forecast!
