Hawaii News Now Weather Examine App

What good is a weather forecast that is 48 hours old?

This use to be a decent app. Now my screen is filled with ads. The opening screen was about 70% filled with ads. This app is no longer of much use with all this extra on it. I go to it for weather, not so you or google can send me ads.

You want some weather?

Thx for having weather reporting at one’s fingertips! Especially for us seniors. So far, you seem to be accurate, not downplaying the bad weather Reality!! Will continue to rely on this needy information!!

Should be more up to date with what Low pressure and high pressure have to do with wind and rain also Hurricane Gilma is where?? How will it effect us

Me and my wife downloaded the app to our respective smartphones, and even though we shared the same settings, location and network the app gives us different data ( precipitation percentages, forecasts, wind velocity, etc). To make things more unreliable, I downloaded to my iPad and it gave a third readout, totally different data from our smartphones. I would not rely on this data for any planning.

The old app version was so much better! We liked the old radar. We don’t like it since you changed the live radar. Can see anything! Who ever did the updated version ruined it.

Reliable Weather News Team 👍😎☘️

The thing I don’t like most about this app is that it does not let you switch between Say texting. If I select the text message that just came in, I go back to the app to finish watching the report and it starts from the very beginning, and I have to watch a commercial again. That is super lame, but the people reporting on it are great

The best weather info ever.

There are over 20 categories of notifications but this app needs one more so I can uncheck it: “unimportant information”. “Gentle trades for the next few days” or “Winds are decreasing; when will they ramp up again?” is NOT information I need to be alerted to! Haven’t you ever read the story about the boy who cried “wolf” too often? When the real thing came along he was ignored because of too many false alarms! These are not actual ALERTS; they are simply a developer’s PLOY screaming “Look at my app”! STOP IT!

I really enjoy the information that Hawaii News Now provides me regarding weather and conditions in the Hawaiian islands. I think this is good for the public and it’s also good for the safety of our public. Keep up the good work.

Appreciate the video to stay current on the quickly-changing weather during the day!

We sure wish we had this back when we bottom fished for a living back in the 80’s👍

I love the Doppler radar it’s very accurate. I love the weather alerts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don’t know what they did to the app, but now when you hold the iPhone horizontally the orientation of the map doesn’t change. Fix this issue, it used to be awesome before this last update for the iPhone.

Annoying is the rubbishy stuff that comes with the weather forecast. Abandon it & you will notice much more interest

I live on Kaua’i and there is only ONE radar here and it is on the south side. To give weather reports for only one part of an island isn’t helpful. Get another radar to support the other parts of the island that experience completely different weather patterns…especially on Kaua’i where we get hit HARD with inclement weather.

Uh…is there any information provided under all of the ads? Three bright yellow Longs ads on the screen - really ruins the usability of the app. This app was once good. Now it’s just a mess.

We don’t need Guy Hagi anymore, that will save you guys big bucks.

We keep track of weather forcast in DC, New Zealand, Japan, and just about every place we have visited around the world. Its great to see the future forcast by radar. Telling us if any major storms are headed are way or is it all clear to take our canoes out.

If it’s Guy it’s a 5

I’m from Puerto Rico but I have relatives in Hawaii that’s why I met this app. The one I trust must 🙏

Can’t play the videos as the ads keep repeating. Plus I would prefer to read the stories!!

Recently, whenever I open the app just after awakening, the app has set my location to be Andover, MA, even though I’m in Honolulu! I have specified that my location follow me and have set location services to be used only while using the app. Please fix this annoying bug!

✅🤩😉😎

Thisthis so helps me to plan my day I povllllll

Love it, that I can go to this app and plan my day. Looking at the radar I can tell what type of clothes to wear for the day or night. Thank you for this application.

The functions of the app are fine, but they do not update the weather forecast anymore than once a week or so. You are better off looking at other sources for up-to date weather…

Quick and fast!

Very informative reports you can Riley on to plan your day

I used to like this app. Now the app requires you to allow them to track info on your phone. Unlike other apps that give you the option to allow or not allow an app to track this one will not let you continue unless you allow them to track. I will be deleting this app from my phone

Would be nice if HNN would integrate the information in this app with their main app. Also, 1:00 unskippable ads to watch a 1:21 video forecast? Yikes. Needs work, or consolidation with the existing app.

Very unreliable.

Love the app. We use the information to help us plan the day. Very helpful and most of the time information is pretty accurate. The only con i have is the follow me feature tends to get a little “ goofy” at times my location is in the middle of the Pacific near Kiribati. But after a couple re-sets and getting back in it tends to fix itself and my location is good.

It’s not always accurate sometimes it says rain s as bf the whole day has no rain

Awesome !!! Winter Weather we haven’t had in a while. Great for the 🦆”Ducks” !!! Stay Dry & Safe.

I use it all over world when i travel. Always works for me.

App is ok if you are looking for hourly forecasts. I am looking for reliable forecasts for Hurricane Douglas and find that the KGMB videos are not available on the app. Not at all helpful in planning for a major weather event in the islands...

1) This app hangs up every once in awhile. 2) drains battery. My locations is only supposed to be on when using the app. But for some reason this app runs in the background and over the last few days is killing my battery (although I have not changed my locations preference).

It’s been frozen in the title screen for 2 days and I guess no notices because I’m the only sucker who uses this app.

The update not working with my iPad

Crashes on launch.

Forecasts are usually incorrect. Navigation on the app is Not good.

I have alerts on for bad weather alerts. NOT for daily “more best weather on the planet” alerts.

The background used to be blue like the color of the ocean and I used to be able to see waves and which direction the wind was blowing but for a few days now the background is pitch black. I thought it was just the app on my phone but I see my friends all have black backgrounds as well. What’s up with that? It no longer looks pretty and makes me feel blah!!! Can u fix the issue so I can see it the way it was before?

Just like Guy this app doesn’t work.Junk

The old weather radar was great. This new doesn’t seem to be as accurate. It’s raining right now and it doesn’t show up on the radar. I went to the noaa site to be sure, and it shows it there.

I agree with the previous review the map is so dark surrounding the islands, why change something that was working great?
