WKRN Weather Authority for Android

WKRN has been my go to channel and weather app for many years but I am considering changing that. The weather app has been declining in both performance and functionality - no radar in the midst of storms for instance - and with this last update it doesn’t even open! 😕

I used to love this app but lately I’ll get notifications that say “there’s a tornado warning in your area” when it’s no where near. I’ve tried and tried to change settings so that I only get alerts for my selected areas. Also, I’m not sure if the app was recently updated but every time I try to load the app the last few days it crashes. Going to be deleting it!!

People download these apps for important weather updates, but the app spams you constantly with nonsense alerts that are half a state away or completely benign. It is gross to pop up with “new tornado warning in your area” every 20 minutes when the warnings are actually several counties away. How am I supposed to know when there are actually warnings near me? This is counter intuitive and actually causing more risk. Danielle Breezy has cried wolf so many times that I’m now deleting the app.

Having some major issues with the app. Even though location is always on it won’t use my location. It keeps the weather on a location that is far from where I live. Also wish I could find a way to set it to severe weather alerts to my location only. I don’t like getting every weather notification that’s comes out. I don’t need notifications every 2-3 minutes about the severe weather in places hundreds of miles from me.

This is the first time for severe weather since I installed this app. I’m getting tornado warnings “in your area” that are for cities 50 miles away. Then I open the app and have to watch the video to see where the warning is. Next app….
