LRNewWeatherMap. I have had the old App for a year and loved it. Yesterday it was updated and I lost all my locations, the daily and hourly forecast are all different and I hate it so I guess to get what I did have I will have to go to another source. So sorry . PAB $$44

Channel 7 weather. This new update makes it very hard to read ! Please change something. Always found this app very useful but now it takes forever to check daily forecasts.

S. L. O. W.. Please fix the video forecast so that it won’t freeze up! I cannot watch more than 10 seconds before it freezes and never plays! We have great internet in home and can stream anything on any device except this app!

Does not work in bad weather. Love the app but if signal is a little low 2 bars give it up. You will need the weather channel app.

Not so great. App works as it should if weather is decent. If it’s storming when you would need the most it doesn’t work at all. At first I thought it was just my phone until I realized everything else on my phone works just fine during the inclement weather

That was terrible. I download this app and highly hopes that I could monitor the sleet and snow in my area. This app was so terrible it wouldn’t load past the open screen. I needed it for weather updates and school closing in which it was completely useless. I immediately deleted it, it served so helpful purpose.

Great app. I love how it’s so easy to find information on weather in my area and hazardous weather.

Messed it up!. It was a great app before the last update. Now It is hard to see with the font and background combo. Also can’t find the full screen radar button. Fix it quick or I’ll stay using Channel 16’s weather app.

Channel 7 news and weather .. It’s the best app I have ever used, free or purchased. Need I say more?

HORRIBLE UPDATE. Y'all made a decent app terrible. Looking at the long-term forecast cannot see temperatures because of the clouds in the background. There is no contrast to make it visible. You can't put white numbers on top of white clouds and expect people to be able to read it. Ridiculous

Watching the weather. I love ❤️ my 7 weather app. I can see what the weather at my house and go to my friends in Ky . I was watching whenTornadoes went through our state and through Kentucky. Call my friend told him to get ready it’s on its way .!! And it did , he thanked me for the heads up . Thank you channel 7.

Transphobic articles. I will no longer support KATV after they have been posting misleading and transphobic articles. They do this to get more likes and comments on their posts but it is false journalism and they have lost my trust completely.

Weather. I love having this keeps me very informed. Thank you

Dec ‘17 update takes three step backwards. For an APP that’s used (especially) in cases of severe weather and warnings- look for one that is more streamlined and with more immediate access. Have used and depended on this app on both an iPad and iPhones for several years until this most recent update. The forecasts are reliable and as accurate as current science allows, however the presentation in this upgrade render it too fraught with inconvenience for the time spent to open and load. * For mobile use and cellular data, the additional video feed load is superfluous and should be an optional item. Arkansas is a rural state with peaks and valleys and is oftentimes spotty between towers even on the interstates. For commuters having to travel in less populated areas, checking the forecast right before going off-grid now requires forethought and cannot be left to the last minute. ** Even on fiber optic high speed it takes longer to load for home use— going to the website has been quicker. *** the cloud background behind the forecast renders white text illegible. NOTE: this has been fixed in more recent updates. **** too many advertisers per screen, I would pay for this APP if there were NO sponsors and it were streamlined.

Cannot get App. Have been receiving this App for several months until three days ago. Now the home page appears but no other info or data can be displayed. What’s the problem

Can’t read forecast after last update. I like this app because it is simple and easy to find the information I need. The latest update looks nice but the cloud background is the same color as most of the numbers and makes the forecast much harder or sometimes impossible to read.

KATV weather app. I would score this higher if you kept the recoded broadcast section more current.

My go-to for AR weather. The channel 7 weather app is my go-to for weather. It is easy to use, understand and quick to find whatever you are needing to know.

Still don’t get it!. Here is another example of the incorrect information on this app. For tomorrow Thursday, May 4, 2022, the weekly forecast show 80% chance of rain. Then when you look at the days info, it says 30%!

Last update is a mess. I used to use the app all the time but this last update has made it impossible to read. The background and the text are the same colors. Did anyone proof this before releasing it? I will be using weatherbug from now on

My go to spot. My go to for all my weather info and up to date coming weather events . Very accurate and precise , love it. Thank you Channel Seven !!

Todd Y. We like all of the meteorologists at KATV, but we really enjoy Todd’s humor. Now, not to say that he doesn’t get serious when need be, but he is awesome.

White cloud background too light. The latest upgrade has bright white clouds on the screen which makes reading much more difficult. I’ve used this app for quite a while but with this change I’m searching for something better. More legible.

An alert system that works well for me !. I feel safe with this app knowing that I’ll always be notified of severe weather issues

Decent app BUT.... The intensely annoying problem with this app is that it makes you wait approximately 8 seconds looking at the splash/logo screen before it opens. The wait time goes down to 5 seconds if the app is already in memory. It is a relatively small app at 40mb, so the long wait times are by design. The irony is this “feature” exists in an area with more than its share of turbulent weather where every second counts. It has decent layout and content once you finally get to it. I deleted this app in favor of a more responsive solution.

Frustrating. Maps take a while to download. Trying to watch the weather video is impossible. I can’t get passed movie commercials. Will download a weather app from another channel!

App is good most of the time. I like the app for quick access to the weekly weather and radar when necessary but I have had problems lately with the map not loading and currently can’t even see what the forecast says because the writing is in white and the background is blue with white clouds.

Thank you. I appreciate the easy access to hourly weather. This icy week was less stressful because of the app. I knew when to cover stairs (tarp)for protection so when the precipitation ended, tarp moved, my dogs had access to the yard.

Waving arms. Chanel 7 would be berry good if you would stop your Chief Barry from doing all the arm waving finger pointing and all of his other moves he does we can see the weather map. And we know where we live we can see the weather moving in just little point standing aside will be gone. His arm waving finger pointing, fake rain or snow in studio is not necessary. Just tie him up and see if he can do the weather !!! Like all the other weather people do!! Please stop his crap!!!

Great app. Easy to use and very informative

Janet. Love the weather updates year round

Perfection and complete professionalism !. The KATV Weather app is always on my primary page of apps. I use it almost daily. It takes a lot for me to trust anything and I can say the team at KATV is the best. Watching the storm coverage tonight, (Sunday, March 6th) absolutely blew me away. The professionalism and knowledge is unsurpassed. Barry, Todd and James were awesome. I’ve watched all the other networks, as well as those out of state and there is NO comparison. Thank you KATV for your superior coverage of our states weather. You guys truly are life savers!!

Boooo. App takes entirely too long to load. Most times my phone will time out and lock before the app even opens. I like that the weather is typically more accurate and I can get alerts pushed to my phone, but it is no help if the thing won’t even open and load for me to see where a storm is.

The Best by Far. This is my Go-To Weather App, because I can depend on its accuracy. It just never lets me down. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Ch 7 weather app. I like the format; it is user friendly. I like being able to view details for each day or just overall forecast. I know I look at it many times per day! Thanks for the weather updates, since we know in Arkansas it changes so quickly!!!!!!😁👍. Great job weather crew!!!

Fix it please. I have been using this app for several years now and the only dissatisfying this has been that it takes a while to load, up until now. It now crashes upon opening it. I depend on this app for accurate forecasts and in cases of severe weather. FIX IT PLEASE

Warnings!!!!!!!!. Who decided to make the Thunderstorm watches and warnings RED? Tornadoes warnings are common here. Your alerts radar is unreadable to be able to tell which is which. Fire them and bring Ned back if you can’t make this user friendly like it was a few months ago.

Very dependable for me.. I’ve been using this app from KATVWX for several years. It’s helped me while traveling in bad wx several times. In fact my wife and I both have this app on our phones and more than one time we have received wx alerts at the very same moment. I’ve gotten out of flash flood situations a couple of times because of quick, accurate warnings. About 5 years ago while traveling from Hattisburg, MS to Arkansas in very bad wx conditions, we received a tornado warning from the KATVWX app of a tornado in our immediate area and told to take cover immediately. We were located just inside city limits of south side of McGee, MS on hwy 49. We were north bound. We pulled into service station immediately as there was dark clouds ahead of us north of McGee with lots of wind. I never saw a funnel but was glad to get the warning to take cover. There has been other times of traveling through Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas in bad wx and I was always glad to know I was in touch with KATVWX app. I always feel more secure when driving in bad wx knowing that I have KATVWX radar especially during possible tornados. Tks to all those at KATV WEATHER for makings this possible. I rate you a 5 ⭐️

Opt-out no longer available. After updating your app, you removed the ability to opt out of alerts for severe weather. When it’s just a normal thunderstorm rain, I don’t need alert. Alerts should be real emergencies like a tornado.

Old was better. Doesn’t always load or loads slowly. Weather reader always opens to “past”. I would like to see a little of past ( where storm came from) and then where it is going in the future. I also keep getting notifications or alerts but when I open app it doesn’t show me the notification. I definitely liked the old app better. Can’t afford to not have this app slow or not work in weather emergency but I don’t trust this version to work!!! I’ve deleted and reinstalled it several times but still not working like it should.

Weather app. Your weather app is not very accurate. You are mostly wrong predicting when rain/ snow will begin and end. Your app forecast for temperatures does not match what is predicted on air. A ten day for cast is useless and always wrong. Your accuracy is fairly good 3 days out- beyond that you’re guessing.

Weather. Enjoy checking Weather at my convenience!

Runs my phone battery down.. This app runs my phone battery down in the background unless you delete from your recent app list. Never did this until the latest update.

Weather app. Comprehensive and very informative site! Thanks

Weather updates. Channel 7 is our go to weather team.

Weather report. Love it weather report is spot on help with my day to day planning working outside plus the alerts too.

Thank you. The channel seven weather team are the best by far. Their forecasting is accurate as can be each member of team brings their own unique contributions to the awesome job they do🙏

Thank-You. Thanks for always being their for the people of Arkansas. Especially Me. When we moved back from Florida and, we didn’t have people to contact in bad storms I always felt safe with Channel 7 Weather.

app is great. This app is probably the best app for weather. It is usually accurate and it tells you what the weather is gonna be like 2 days ahead.

Issues finding network. Even when every other app is on the Internet this app hen first opened has problems find the internet. The only way to fix is to force close the app. This is getting to be a pain.

Weather app. I enjoy this app. The menu bar has multiple options. I like to use the radar map and I really like the video forecast when I miss the news.

WEARTHERLOVER❤️. It’s the best for at and rather thing ived used G

WILL NOT LOAD!. Every day I have to delete your app and re-install!!!!

Love the easily accessible Map-in-Motion.. Many cool features: weather alerts, weather blog, live Doppler, and such. But my favorite and perhaps the most important is the almost instant access to a local map-in-motion radar. This feature will probably save many lives because it will enable people to see and track the weather in just a few seconds. In any emergency, such as bad weather, seconds save lives. Two thumbs; Five stars,,

HORRIBLE UPDATE. Y'all made a decent app terrible. Looking at the long-term forecast cannot see temperatures because of the clouds in the background. There is no contrast to make it visible. You can't put white numbers on top of white clouds and expect people to be able to read it. Ridiculous

Katv channel 7. I just put this app on my phone a few days ago and it has been the best app i have

Review of app.... I love the radar! But not so much the home page that comes up when you open the app. It is 'dorky' with the images and they are hard to decipher. I liked the former home page much better.

Weather. I count on this app for all my information. It's awesome!!! I put it on my husbands phone this morning😆He loves it as well YEAH! Searcy AR💗

Not updated enough…. S

Why so many?. Ads! Do I need to say more….🤬

Never ending updates. Seems as if the app is in a never ending loop of updates? Update app. Then update app again and again and again...repeat!

Ms.. This app helps determine how to dress for the day. I also like the detail weather information to know what to expect for the day as far as rain, snow, and percentages etc.

Best weather app on iPhone good work guys. Nice

The Best Weather Channel in the World!. This is the Best Weather Channel Always on point with the weather! I Love it! I use it daily! If you say it’s Rain it’s Rain! I love you guys! Always Accurate!

Not good. Come one KATV you can do better. This scroll bar across the bottom is horrible, the map doesn't show state / county boundaries, the GPS "find current location" doesn't work as I had to tell it were I was ... Just horrible

Expectations. I can't watch Ned, Barry, or Todd due to my work schedule so this app lets me see what I've missed. Thanks a ton!

Frustrating!!. I have always liked this app but the last few months the radar is never accurate. If I'm needing to follow a radar for severe weather and don't have access to a TV then I go to my phone and this app has let me down more than a few times. It's pouring rain as I write this with a severe line of storms below my location and the channel 7 app shows everything is all clear. No rain. No storms. Nothing. Other apps show a more realistic picture. Rain and severe weather. This app needs to be updated or fixed. Very disappointing!

Messed it up!. It was a great app before the last update. Now It is hard to see with the font and background combo. Also can’t find the full screen radar button. Fix it quick or I’ll stay using Channel 16’s weather app.

Awesome app. Channel 7 has a great tool for us to check the weather and the forecast. If you don't have it...I guess you'll just have to get wet!

Sketchy. We are having severe weather with tornado warnings today. The app sent me an alert for tornado watches but never sent any alerts for the tornado warnings. Seems like those would be important. Also, the area specific features are not available because the app says I live in "River Mountain, AR" rather than Little Rock. App needs more work!

Janet. Love the weather updates year round

B. Like having local meteorologist input into app

LRNewWeatherMap. I have had the old App for a year and loved it. Yesterday it was updated and I lost all my locations, the daily and hourly forecast are all different and I hate it so I guess to get what I did have I will have to go to another source. So sorry . PAB $$44

Won’t load. While trying to load it says it’s not available in my area. I live in Conway which is the viewing area. Need to make these weather apps so they load faster.

Good app. Slow loading.

Great. Only app with radar. Love it

Warnings!!!!!!!!. Who decided to make the Thunderstorm watches and warnings RED? Tornadoes warnings are common here. Your alerts radar is unreadable to be able to tell which is which. Fire them and bring Ned back if you can’t make this user friendly like it was a few months ago.

KATVWX. Excellent app, apparently another critic could not find the three bar menu icon to the left of the katv icon in the upper left hand corner of the screen. This is the best weather app I have seen.

You did it for local weather geeks!!. Great job! So user friendly. No need to use the national weather apps. This takes care of everything you need and it has the local info I need like closings. I also love having access to the weather blog!

#1. Best weather reports in the state ! 🫶🏾

Has it all. This app allows live stream with NO commercials. News, weather, radar, and special interest. Way to go...

Slow loading app. Slower loading app than WeatherBug and AccuWeather.

KATV app. The app is generally very good; however, too much content is always misclassified. For example, "Local" will have national stories or "Razorbacks" will have the other state colleges with no relation to U of A.

Opt-out no longer available. After updating your app, you removed the ability to opt out of alerts for severe weather. When it’s just a normal thunderstorm rain, I don’t need alert. Alerts should be real emergencies like a tornado.

Everything is great. When I can't watch the news I know I can always see what the weather is going to be like. Thanks channel 7

Review. Always rely on 7weather app

"You complete me". Thank you KATV! This app has everything you need to stay informed about the weather. I'm really interested in the "My Report" section. Hope one day we'll be able to see all the reports added using this app and possibly a chat option.

Where's radar???. I can't find how to get to the radar screen. Please make the first screen like a table of contents. I can't even get to the weather forecast. Those symbols like a raindrop - I don't know what they mean. If I want weather now, I go to Weatherbug. I like the KATV weathermen, but the KATV iPad weather screen app needs to be changed, and soon before all your readers disappear. Sorry.

KATV weather app. I would score this higher if you kept the recoded broadcast section more current.

Good App... Reports weather good maps no unnecessary glitter

Weather app. Comprehensive and very informative site! Thanks

Just needs a facelift. Graphics are average and the weather blog always refers to a video, yet I don't see a link to a video. The Weather blog is really to only reason I use the app at all.

Great app. Easy to use and very informative

Wether. Thanks y’all!

Great App. Use it every day,, sun rise to sunset to bedtime!

App. The app isn’t always up to date

Not Attractive - Poor Usability. This app is not attractive. The video forecast and weather graphics are not appealing. The forecast information is not layered effectively to fit the new iPad screen. The typography (lettering, headings, titles) is not attractive and attention-getting. The screens lack the right amount of information. This app was poorly designed. It is not easy to access relevant weather information. I would not recommend this app to a friend or colleague.

Does not work in bad weather. Love the app but if signal is a little low 2 bars give it up. You will need the weather channel app.

Review. Very slow to load! The adds load fast though!

Still don’t get it!. Here is another example of the incorrect information on this app. For tomorrow Thursday, May 4, 2022, the weekly forecast show 80% chance of rain. Then when you look at the days info, it says 30%!
