This is a pretty weird app. Not only does the future feature work the past isn’t all that reliable either. Caught between the future or the past I don’t know what is happening right now. Guy needs to tell his boss to stop pushing the app until it’s fixed. Every time I hear him pushing it I cringe. I worked in IT for 50 years so I know what is great and what isn’t. This isn’t. Recommend Dark Sky for iPhone. The second star is strictly for Guy Hagi. He’s a good man caught in the middle.

Easy Peasy to Use

We keep track of weather forcast in DC, New Zealand, Japan, and just about every place we have visited around the world. Its great to see the future forcast by radar. Telling us if any major storms are headed are way or is it all clear to take our canoes out.

Stop wasting my time with useless information alerts!

There are over 20 categories of notifications but this app needs one more so I can uncheck it: “unimportant information”. “Gentle trades for the next few days” or “Winds are decreasing; when will they ramp up again?” is NOT information I need to be alerted to! Haven’t you ever read the story about the boy who cried “wolf” too often? When the real thing came along he was ignored because of too many false alarms! These are not actual ALERTS; they are simply a developer’s PLOY screaming “Look at my app”! STOP IT!

Don’t like new updated version

The weather radar map was great the way it was. The recent update made the radar map always dark (day or night), and doesn’t seem accurate. Don’t like the “past and future” option either. Both looks the same. Doesn’t show as much as the previous version. Please go back to the old version!!! If not I guess I’m just going to use someone else’s app.

Weather Updates

I really enjoy the information that Hawaii News Now provides me regarding weather and conditions in the Hawaiian islands. I think this is good for the public and it’s also good for the safety of our public. Keep up the good work.

Annoying is the rubbishy stuff that comes with the weather forecast. Abandon it & you will notice much more interest

Black background

The background used to be blue like the color of the ocean and I used to be able to see waves and which direction the wind was blowing but for a few days now the background is pitch black. I thought it was just the app on my phone but I see my friends all have black backgrounds as well. What’s up with that? It no longer looks pretty and makes me feel blah!!! Can u fix the issue so I can see it the way it was before?

Love it, that I can go to this app and plan my day. Looking at the radar I can tell what type of clothes to wear for the day or night. Thank you for this application.

Used to like this app👎🏻

I used to like this app. Now the app requires you to allow them to track info on your phone. Unlike other apps that give you the option to allow or not allow an app to track this one will not let you continue unless you allow them to track. I will be deleting this app from my phone

Buggy and a Battery Killer

1) This app hangs up every once in awhile. 2) drains battery. My locations is only supposed to be on when using the app. But for some reason this app runs in the background and over the last few days is killing my battery (although I have not changed my locations preference).

Not very accurate

I live on Kaua’i and there is only ONE radar here and it is on the south side. To give weather reports for only one part of an island isn’t helpful. Get another radar to support the other parts of the island that experience completely different weather patterns…especially on Kaua’i where we get hit HARD with inclement weather.

Using the radar doesn’t change orientation

I don’t know what they did to the app, but now when you hold the iPhone horizontally the orientation of the map doesn’t change. Fix this issue, it used to be awesome before this last update for the iPhone.

Don’t bother!

The functions of the app are fine, but they do not update the weather forecast anymore than once a week or so. You are better off looking at other sources for up-to date weather…

Irritating when there is a warning

This app is irritating when there is a weather warning. You get a warning notice and I clear it. About 15 minutes later it tells me again. Once is good enough don’t have to keep pushing it. I just deleted it.

Long Ads, Glitchy

Would be nice if HNN would integrate the information in this app with their main app. Also, 1:00 unskippable ads to watch a 1:21 video forecast? Yikes. Needs work, or consolidation with the existing app.

Not liking new radar. Bring back old one.

The old weather radar was great. This new doesn’t seem to be as accurate. It’s raining right now and it doesn’t show up on the radar. I went to the noaa site to be sure, and it shows it there.

I downloaded this app to keep up with the Hurricane Lane path projections, but every time I zoomed in on the map, the app crashed. EVERY. TIME. Not even being dramatic. I just deleted it because it did the same thing for Miriam. 🙄 over it already.

App is ok if you are looking for hourly forecasts. I am looking for reliable forecasts for Hurricane Douglas and find that the KGMB videos are not available on the app. Not at all helpful in planning for a major weather event in the islands...

Useless weather alerts

I have alerts on for bad weather alerts. NOT for daily “more best weather on the planet” alerts.

Love the update... But

Been using this app during last years hurricane season for the best map (the only local app with the map in landscape mode) and excellent tracking graphics. The new updated app has easy navigation to all details of our Hawaiian weather but there is one detail that is somewhat annoying. Does the dot indicating the chosen city have to be so large as to blot out a good portion of the map? Why have it on the map at all?

hawaii news now weather

I am on the Big Island and the radar map often doesn't indicate it is raining when it could actually be pouring. That is even taking into account the time delay. As for the temps, to day and hourly I cannot get the app to show Hilo information even though my location is set to Hilo, and the iPad location services is on for the app in settings. I tried contacting them for support but no response. The earthquake map is informative most of the time. That is the only reason I gave it a 2 instead of 0. Although It didn't show the biggest one last month.

Fantastic App For Weather Anywhere

We use this app the entire time we have been in Hawaii on our three week vacation. It has proven to be in valuable, and extremely accurate. The radar/precipitation/hurricane track information is truly top-of-the-line. This app actually works anywhere in the world. We will use it when we go back home.

Don't like vertical set up.

Still has not changed since the crazy new set up over a year and half ago. The original version was way easier and looked cleaner. You can clearly see the reviews have not improved and you haven't done anything to fix the app. Please change back! Update, I don't think the designer of this app even considers the reviews because all them are saying same thing and nothing has been done to fix it! Update 29 Jun 2017...app still makes you have vertical view and not user friendly. Read people's reviews....
