KATU Weather

Fails to honor my landscape orientation, forces portrait mode. Huge accessibility issue.

The animated radar map won’t display any precipitation once started. Extremely disappointing. I’ll need to use another local station’s app for weather. Can’t rely on this one.

Most everything works but can’t seem to get animated radar map. It does not display any radar until I zoom in map and only then a static radar image appears over the map. Not more useful thAn the KATU app at least animated radar works there.

Weather app is vague. Hit an icon for “Breaking News” and it was news from March. When I hit the menu button it only offered me “Breaking News” & “Conservative News” — basically Faux News. No thanks.

The app itself works rather well. It sends me to Twitter when I open it and tap on the forecast. Bugs the snot out of me. If I want to go to Twitter I’ll go myself.

As another reviewer wrote, I also had trouble getting out of the "enter location" page. I managed to stumble out to the home page but still don't know how I did it. If the app has an hour-by-hour forecast anywhere I can't find it. Apps for mobile devices should be easy and intuitive, especially those that might be used for quick checks for busy people. This one isn't. I went back to my previous app. It doesn't look as slick, but it has hour-by-hour and long term forecasts besides radar and health alerts. And it's intuitive.

Would have been nice for it to function but it kept giving the same message: "error getting data". Wasn't fixed by deleting and reinstalling the app. Darn.

I downloaded this app hoping to get a reliable local weather app, but the "current weather" part took way too long to update and show any current conditions (assuming it EVER updated). I finally deleted the app and will keep looking.

This app has nice graphics and appears very handy, as long as you only want US locations. So far it doesn't support international locations.
