KIRO 7 Weather - Seattle-area weather alerts and forecasts Reviews

trancetive

This is almost a good ap, but it would be a lot better if you could actually read the daily forcast. You get to read a few words of it, but the words run out of room and there is no way to display the entire message.

Location services is all or nothing?

Still looking for my 19 hand

The option to allow the app access to my location only when the app is running isn't there for me. I don't think they're intentionally tracking me. Not worth a hit on my battery.

Title

All the weather apps have inconsistent future weather patterns, problem with this app is they provide an hourly estimate they make no effort to update, this app currently reads 79 degrees at 12:12am, however the hourly reader says it should be 65 at 12am (12 minutes ago), and it will be 67 at 1am (best guess it's not gonna drop 12 degrees in 45 minutes). In other words this app is pretty much only useful for current temp, which you can find on many other apps or just putting a thermometer outside your window. Also I've been looking at the 5 day range for several weeks and they have been missing the mark pretty much everyday on the high and low. I know weather is difficult to predict but if they updated on a regular basis it would make this app better than the rest, but it doesn't so it's below average.

Fatal Flaw

DaveWWW

It's a great weather app, in fact, one of the best I've seen. But it has one huge, fatal and disqualifying flaw: Regardless of the community selected, the high and low temps for the day are always for Seattle. Any location you view will only show Seattle's high and low temps. When I noticed this a while back, I brought it to the attention of one of their meteorologists via Twitter. He said he would pass it along to the app developer. Although they just updated the app, it is still showing only Seattle temps. For this reason, the app isn't very useful outside of Seattle.

KIRO7 Weather App

Flagpilot

This app crashed and completely locked up my iPad. I had to turn off my WiFi and then turn it back on and reboot. I deleted this app and will never download a KIRO7 app of any kind again.

Inaccurate temps

Scrapngirl

Since brand new redesign, my app appears to show Celsius maybe?? Because on what was a very warm 85* yesterday, the app showed 18*! And you say Celsius is not available on the app, so not getting an accurate temp makes this completely useless. Bummer, this was the most accurate in my opinion.

Not bad. However...

There needs to be a for-pay service offered because the adverts are appallingly bad. The banner makes what would be a nice experience ugly and if takes too much screen space. I'll gladly pay a monthly fee to avoid adverts. Asking to "follow us even when the device is off" is not necessary for the functionality of this app. Makes me wonder what kind of tracking is going on under the hood. Rating: 4-stars minus 2 for the obtrusive adverts.
