THIS APP IS WONDERFUL!!!!!! I LOOK AT WKT WEATHER APP, 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY!!!! THE ALERTS ARE VERY HELPFUL!!!!

★★★★★ Salena Lewis · Jan 27, 2026

Very clear and to the point about the weather here in Kentucky it is bitter cold stay warm everyone

★★☆☆☆ Unknown Username · Sep 18, 2025

I don't understand why you guys TRY to predict the weather 4 or more days ahead. Even 3 days ahead. YOU'RE NEVER RIGHT! The radar is NOT accurate at all. There's no way to base a work week on your weather predictions more than 2 days ahead. You're barely correct on 2nd day. Real time temperature is always correct and even a day ahead is pretty accurate. More than that ain't even worth looking at. I could watch any other weather channel or use any other weather app and get the same results.

DO NOT LIKE THE NEW RADAR UPDATE!! THE WORST! 09JAN2026 new update is awful. No longer will show temp in status bar because it now clears off the notification screen. It didn't use to do that before this "upgrade" I have "show temp in status bar" toggled on, but now android wants to clear it off the notification screen and status bar. And, I have a Galaxy S 24 - it supports this content

★☆☆☆☆ Larry Woosley · Sep 10, 2025

I'm getting ready to uninstall this app. I'm giving it another week and if the notifications of what time the weather is coming on 4 to 6 times a day don't stop it's gone. I've tried changing some notification settings today is the only reason I'm giving it any longer. On top of the unnecessary notifications, if I get a notification and read it, when I clear it I don't need it to immediately pop back up and give me the same notification again.
