KAIT Region 8 Weather App Reviews

Balloon pilot approved. I live in the Region 8 area. I am on a chat group with hot air balloon pilots from all over the USA. One of the pilots from another state recommended the KAIT weather app as a good resource for weather forecast. I was surprised by his post but this app is spot on for our use. Thanks KAIT

Annoying Comercials. Don't mind a Comercial in apps but in this case put it at the end. When you get a notification of sever weather it makes you watch a Comercial before you can get the information. If minutes count this don't work. Also if app times out you have to watch the Comercials again.

I love it so. I love it because it will tell you all the stuff you need to know and everything

Weather from kaitv8 is the best. I love Ryan Vaughn & the weather team makes me feel safe in Batesville, AR Keep up the Great work team!!

Wait time for emergency alerts.. When a weather alert comes on you have to wait for an ad to finish before you can hear the alert. Seems like a waste of time if it’s an emergency. I have started using other weather apps for severe weather notifications.

We can count on TV 8. The weather is something that can change within the winking of an eye. . . But, here in Arkansas, we know that we can depend on the well educated and well equipped, weather man and /or woman. Always right on time, Always very informative, And ALWAYS, THERE WHEN WE NEED TO BE CERTAIN, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS !!!! Thanks so much, for the great advice and great work, that you share with us !!!!!! Carly Jai.

Great!. This app gives great and accurate information! It is a must if you live in Jonesboro!

Favorite weather app!!. A friend recommended it and I’m so glad. I don’t know why weather coverage is so inaccurate with the bigger ‘weather channel’ or apple weather apps.

Daily nonsense notifications are annoying!. Honestly, the weather (hourly, daily, radar) part of this app is pretty good which is the reason they get 2 stars. The videos have ads as long as the videos themselves which is terribly annoying but understandable when you have people giving you money for the add space. The part that bugs me the most is the notifications everyday of meteorologists using this like a social media platform and letting you know that it’s Sunny or cold (as if you couldn’t already tell by using basic senses). As far as I can tell if you turn off notifications, you also won’t get the important notifications like thunderstorms and tornadoes. It’s just unbelievably ridiculous to have daily notifications for normal, basic weather circumstances.

Live, dependable, Action. The Region 8 Storm Team, are the most dependable and accurate news team in the country. This is their community, this is their mission, and they do it well. Through their dedication and commitment, they are life savers.

Good local weather.. The app is great for checking the weather, but I have noticed an abundance of ads that consistently interrupt important videos. It appears that the app uses its own video player which is the reason behind this issue. On a positive note, the radar feature is quite useful. However, the recently added future setting is a bit confusing.

KAIT8 Weather App. Really like using your app along with my family. Daily usages from all my family. One thing that hasn’t happened unlike the KAITV8 news app. Unable to get to the News App because of locations services. I don’t allow any app to track myself. Would hate to have stop using the Weather App if force to used! Thank for a Great App.

KAIT8 is #1. I’ve been living here in Jonesboro Arkansas for about 6-7 months. I watch KAIT8 every single day. Y’all are the only news & weather station that I watch. Y’all are the best. I have the KAIT8 app on my iPhone and iPad. I definitely give y’all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Weather. We love this weather app. I travel a lot and it’s always accurate no matter what part of the country I’m in ! Thanks for being here

Radar doesn’t always load.. Quite often the radar doesn’t load or takes 3-5 minutes to load and catch up with what is really happening outside.

Channel 8 weather news. Thank you channel 8 News for making us feel safe through some of the hardest times we are blessed to have such a Great team it seems that lately every weekend is something different I know I feel better when I turn on my TV. I know that your there to help us through the day or night .❤️

Coachall2000. Accurate and reliable information.

Apple TV app. I use this on Apple TV. It does pretty good. The only issue I have is it gets hung up on the greenway commercial of silence and seems to pause the news broadcast.

Cheri. The only issue I have with the weather app is during severe weather alerts you have to wait for the ads to finish before you can see the weather threat. And 2 minutes can be too long in a tornado

Live not just recorded. I recently moved here from Oklahoma. I was able to catch the news live on my tablet but here I can only get Memphis or Kentucky. News and especially the weather from Jonesboro is so much more informative for us.

30 second commercials???. I love our news and weather team, but to check a quick weather report or see an update when I get an alert on my phone should not require a 30 second full volume commercial. I get that advertising pays the bills- but advertisers should know that I now automatically connect your business to the frustration level I have with this app. Show me some still images, or make it short and sweet. This is not TV.

The best. This is the best storm track I have tried so many but this one is the one love region 8

Very buggy. Stopped using it as it’s too slow to load and very buggy!

Radar is never actually accurate and the movement of the system. It’s always showing it should be raining and never see a drop. Looks like it would be. Maybe instead of relying on computer models the meteorologist could have a better accurate update by just walking outside

It’s really good for weather but.. Sometimes the weather lies but it’s ok maybe another part of Arkansas but it’s a good app I mean, but only one thing, every time I watch a video on the app there’s a mark martin/Kroger/etc ad, please fix this!

Best at predicting weather. If you’re looking for an app that will tell you the weather, so you know how to plan things that you wanna do, this is the app it’s amazing. Ryan Vaughn is the best weatherman. He is not almost wrong. This app is amazing you need to download it. It’s way better than Northeast Arkansas news app.

Personal thoughts. When moments count and you need live feed you still have commercials first. When the storm hit last week I pulled up my app and and had to watch a 30 second commercial before I got the live feed. Just saying. Need someone to sponsor the commercial free when there’s thunderstorm warning

I love this app, but...... I love this app. I go to this app every time there is thunder or lightning near my area. But sometimes on the radar it will not let me choose past, future, or past and future. But either wise I love this app and is very helpful.

Its educational. I love it because it lets me know what the weather is gonna be like for the day

Ad issues. Ad starts all over again even if we swipe the mobile device to just adjust brightness!

UPDATE THIS APP!!!. This app has so much potential. It used to work ok..... but JUST ok. Not very accurate with the weather and the radar, when tapping on future, turns everything to a weird cartoon level map. But now, won’t open. Refuses to work. Uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared my cookies/cache, and restarted my phone’s everything is up to date and now I can’t get passed the first screen. I don’t even get the ad everyone is complaining about. Welp, I guess it’s back to ACCUWEATHER, which is a pain, but at least it works and is much more accurate.

Radar stuck on “future”. With the latest update the radar only has “future” as an option. Bring back the “past” option.

A great app(almost).. It is a great weather app. I’ve used it all over the US with good results. But…it’s very annoying to be forced to watch the start up pages every time it is opened or brought up from the background.

Fix the radar please!. Have always loved this app but since the new update it has glitches and I hate the radar now. It used to be a clear picture and very informative but now has a “cartoonish” look to it that makes it look very low quality.

Region8 Weather App. Region 8 weather app is one of the best apps out there! I use it to keep track of any severe weather headed that comes my way!

Great during severe weather!. Easy to check and stay informed using this app. Life saving during severe weather outbreaks.

Doesn’t even work all of the sudden. I have had this app for almost a year. Husband has it too. All of the sudden the other day, it started saying not available in your area. Weird, because it worked just this morning in the same place. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t solve it either. I liked the app, but I won’t keep it if this isn’t fixed. Waste of space on my phone at this point.

Great team poor app. Region8 weather team is Amazing! 5 stars for them but the app is not helpful. We don’t have cable/satellite so we watch live storm coverage via the app. During severe weather, we have to watch an ad before being able to watch live coverage. Definitely unacceptable during warnings! And if it buffers, we have to watch another ad. Also, the images on the newest update are not great.

Confusing and Annoying!. The new storm tracks colors and icons are confusing and annoying to try and keep up with, especially during severe weather. If it’s confusing for a twenty something year old, imagine how confusing it is for an elderly person! Time for another weather app, I suppose. Hope the developers plan to change it soon! If it changes, I’ll be back!

Require. Love the app cause I can always see where the storm is in conjunction to where I am. Easy to figure out. Also BIG BIG BIG thank you to Ryan and his partner.(sorry can’t remember his name) I’m kinda new to the area and appreciated their detail and accuracy in the storms sat night. I trust them completely!!!!!

Above and beyond. My family and I have witnessed the Region 8 storm team go above and beyond for their community! I love the fact, when it’s “spring break/vacation season” they pay attention to severe weather elsewhere, knowing that parts of their community are there and probably can’t keep up with the local weather out of state! We feel so blessed to be able to call the Region 8 Storm team, ours!😊.

Great source for weather !. The weather staff at KAIT is proficient and cares about the people of their area. Through the years they can be counted on for the latest weather-related information. Wayne Smith / Jonesboro AR.

Best weather for this region. I wish we could get k8 without cable. I miss K8 but not enough to pay outrageous cable prices

Weather. I love being able to check the weather anytime BUT I have to delete and reload at least once a month. Right now it won’t even reload.

Commercial over and over. I don't mind the commercial at the beginning, but everytime my phone times out or i switch between apps i have to watch the commercial over and over again, it should start where i left off at least for a while.

Turn off ads during tornado watch/warnings. Good app but needs to turn off advertisements when their is storm warnings, especially tornado warnings

Can’t live in Arkansas without this app!. I bet I check this app 10-15 times a day. Always works, runs smoothly, beautiful graphics. User friendly, easy to navigate.

KAIT8 Weather team. These guys know by now how everyone in Jonesboro and surrounding areas feel...give them the well deserved Christmas bonus or at the very least, put something a little extra in their Christmas Stocking❣️

Not accurate, just useful for entertainment purposes. This app is not accurate at all. Not even close. It says 10 degrees and it’ll be 3 degrees. It says 1 inch of snow and we get 6. It says wind is out of the west at 6 mph and it’ll be north winds at 20 mph. Not a serious tool for those who depend on the weather. I recommend weather underground or similar for much more accurate information.

Giving thanks. Thanks to the KAIT8 storm team we was very informed of the horrible storms that hit us Friday night . Alerts came across our phones which allowed us to get to our save zone . We just want to let you know how much you are appreciated . Thanks again to Ryan Vaughan and the storm team .

8. Love my region 8

Jimmy is paid off. Alledgedly

Sad in kennett. Love KAIT BUT OUR CABLE NO LONGERCARRIES IT IN KENNETT SO SAD BUT I GET THE WEATHER ON MY PHONE. SURE DO MISS IT

Will not reinstall this app!. Reason Trump adds.

The Best weather station. I live in the boot heel of Missouri region 8 news nails it for Wardell every time thanks

The Best Weather App!. This is the best weather app out there!

8 weather reporting. Excellent reports and very timely.

Freezes on radar. Freezes up when on radar Can’t access overlays and map types

There’s no more advisories for no schools. Why you guys deleted that option?

I HATE IT!!!!!. I absolutely hate the new updated weather app. I can't get any rain to pull up on my radar. All I get are where earthquakes have been and lighting strikes. That's it. I would rather have the old version.

Awesome. I use this app nearly everyday!

Slow loading sometimes & changes saved location. Sometimes loads slow to the point I have to reopen the app but when it loads correctly it's quite fast. Haven't had it long enough to know if it's correct and fast on the severe weather forecasts but am hoping it is. Glad to see it gives current weather and weather for my city and all cities surrounding it. Is very hard to find ones that have my city and work correctly without many issues. This app is the best I've had so far and don't see the need for a new app update (say this cause most new updates end up messing up a app).

Ads. Ads should not play during a severe weather event. Otherwise, I love it.

Sooo slow. This is a terribly slow app no matter what my internet connection is. Only reason I have it is because its local.

Hot and cold. Gotta give big kudos to Ryan and Zach when weather is severe. However when it comes to winter precipitation I am sticking with Snow it’d Bob!

Love KAIT8. Love all about weather!

Laurie H. I have been subscribed to the KAIT 8 weather app. My most enjoyed is the comfort of the weather alerts.

Chicken little. 👍👍

D. D. Pp. Trying to see weather I have to watch two commercials to get to the severe storm warning You don't want criticism Ever nickname you say is taken

Please fix badge issue. The badge won’t go away even after reading the alert. This is so irritating. Please fix.

Inconsiderate:. They don’t care about my hometown.

App. Great weather app

Radar. Newest radar coverage is not nearly as goid as the old radar coverage!

So many commercials I can never get the weather😂. Now I rarely check with you. I use another weather service.

So many ads.. It’d be better if I only had to watch ONE ad.

Great storm watch AP. This is great for seeing the direction storms are heading, where the watches and alerts are, and it even sends me alerts when there is severe weather in my area. The new update is great, except the map no longer has state lines. I really miss those since it helps me to visualize the size of the storm and its location/distance better. Please at least make it an option to add in the state lines!

KAIT8 Weather App. Great app! Region 8 is blessed by the best weathermen in the country. #ryanvaughan #zachholder

LOVE THE NEW DESIGN, LOVE IT!. NEW RATING 5 STAR! I greatly appreciate your new design of the app! My go-to weather app now! Love everything about it, great job! I especially like the video forecast right there where you need it. The radar has always been the best! Thank you again! Praise The Lord! 🙌

Not user friendly. Loved the older version, but dislike the new map box. Not user friendly at all. Change it back or find something better.

Kait. Just a local fear porn liberal abc affiliate station half time not even right during tornado season and you’re trying to find out quick info on situation you got to watch a 2 min greenway John Deere equipment ad first

Weather radar. The radar flashes on 3 of my devices it is hard to tell what’s. Going on when this happens, this also happen on kfvs12

Weather is good the warning was good. All the videos was no good couldn’t see the weather map.

Still no sound on videos. Still no sound

Ballzitch. Always know when it’s gonna rain when my ballzitch thanks a lot KAIT8

Not pleased with update. My husband and I liked the previous version, but the latest update in April, 2015, made the app much less user friendly. We are not pleased. It takes longer to load even though I have the latest iOS updates, as well. The radar is also sluggish. Maybe the kinks will be worked out soon.

It's great...when it works.. Both versions of this app must not like iPhones, because about 40% of the time, it won't open. Says "network error", and it has happened on multiple wi-fi networks, 3G, and LTE. I do like the new version, but it took time to get used to. The radar and alerts are great!

COMPLAINT!!!!. I have had this app for a very long time. Now it says “IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA”. I live about 10 miles from the station with a Brookland address. Can’t even get the weather! The alerts come through

Kinlee Powell. Love how this tells the real wether that’s going on the fake ones.

Never seen so many ads. Loaded this app and the ads are just overwhelming. One after another, in every screen. Wow! Deleted it after 2 mins.

I’m not in Africa. No matter where I set my location to, the app always takes me to the coast of Africa.

Boyd Overton. Ryan and the team are a 10 .

Working????. I don’t know what’s wrong with this app! I’ve had it for years wont update!

Awful!. Once I updated, my app has been glitchy. It won’t rotate and I do have the lock rotation off. I do not like the slider bar. I much preferred the ‘play’ button.

Kait weather. Site is too convoluted and stymied with advertising and other’gotchas’ to use efficiently. Takes too much time and utilizes too much data to get information

Congratulations. The best weather coverage in Northeast Arkansas!!! Thanks for all ya’ll do to keep everyone informed on the weather!!!👏🏻👏🏻

Disappointed in update. The latest update is a huge letdown. The radar doesn't ever update on my phone, when I type in St Louis, it only gives me the option for France. Very, very disappointed to the point that I will be uninstalling because it's basically worthless.

KAIT8. All I can say is I love me some Xack n Ryan’n

Great. Great app keeps me up to date on the weather.

Accurate but video glitches. Sometimes no sound. Very often there us a video error. But the predictions are awesome. Problems are with the app.

Better than most. The
