Hawaii News Now Weather App Reviews

Not to bad

Still needs a little work. Wind speed and direction in 10 day forecast would be great. Surf report to. A nicer icon would be cool.

It needs to update with real weather

Why does it say 0% chance of rain on the app, when the Hawaii news now online service says get ready for huge thunderstorm? Constantly, not being updated with real time weather.. The radar shows lots of rain, but the forecast says sunny with no rain.. Get it together people!

Storm Tracker???

Wheres the storm tracker?? The radar doesnt work so good either...

Very nice layout

The app is great. Its very important to go to setting and enable the layers that are important to you. Its easy to navigate and a wonderful tool. Thanks

This app doesnt like wifi connection

It keeps telling me connection error. Told me to check if the airplane mode was on or wifi is connected. But I was definitely connecting to wifi. And it finally worked when I turned off wifi and used my data.

Junk

Not worth using. Map dies not even show the hurricane. News info is not up to the minute, so if you watched last nights news, you wont see anything new. Hopefully it will change & get more useful.

Glitch in app

When i open the app it closes. Ive been usung this for quite awhile and no problems until i got my iohone 6. I think it needs an update.

Doesnt work on iPad

Keeps reverting to old version and then prompting me to update. Works only on iPhone

KILL UPDATE

STOP nagging me to up date, newer version on my iPod touch not liked.

Good App but add Surf Report

App works good but needs surf report and surf forecast. If your getting the pop-up to update, its because your using the older HNN app. This is a completely new one.

Love the update... But

Been using this app during last years hurricane season for the best map (the only local app with the map in landscape mode) and excellent tracking graphics. The new updated app has easy navigation to all details of our Hawaiian weather but there is one detail that is somewhat annoying. Does the dot indicating the chosen city have to be so large as to blot out a good portion of the map? Why have it on the map at all?

Not up to date

The most recent weather report video is over 36 hours old and theres a hurricane in the area. Wake up!

Only wifi?

This app is pretty good but why will it only work on wifi? It gives me a network error when I try to use it on my cellular network. It says ensure wifi is connected and only has an option to retry, which never works. My cellular data connectivity is not in question. This makes the app useless away from home! Fix this!

Good for showing where its raining now

Cycles well through the last 20 minutes of radar rain in 5 minute increments but the future forecast function doesnt work. It cycles through the next 2 hours on the clock but no data is shown. Would give 5 stars if they fixed this

worth getting to follow storm tracks

Excellent application to keep up with the weather and especially for watching storm tracks. Also has a weather map for the entire world with useful information.

the app is still Honolulu centric

No matter what you set your location to, the radar/satelite part of the app always starts in Honolulu. My location is set properly to Makawao, so why doesn’t that view open to Makawao/Maui? I don’t want it to open to Honolulu.

TERRIBLE App !!!!!!

I set this app to alert me to high and low tides. It junked up my Calendar app with push notifications going BACKWARD 8 1/2 months - to January, 2015. (It is mid-Sept.) WHY? I cant delete them and I cant use them. They are ancient history. This is a TERRIBLE app. Worse than useless. It destroys the usefulness of the Calendar app.

Fantastic App For Weather Anywhere

We use this app the entire time we have been in Hawaii on our three week vacation. It has proven to be in valuable, and extremely accurate. The radar/precipitation/hurricane track information is truly top-of-the-line. This app actually works anywhere in the world. We will use it when we go back home.

Not There

Spent long time downloading and now it’s nowhere to be found. Cannot use, but it’s there somewhere, taking up space.

Why bother

This should be called the surf report app not weather it would be nice to get detailed weather information. If they put as much effort into the weather as they do the surf report it would be a good app.
