5/5AMAZING
OMG! I’ve tuned into Ky3 weather for years, I can’t recall one time over the years was I ever disappointed or have even 1 episode or airing that I was disappointed or any kind of negative reaction! Brandon Beck was always my Favorite, with a little added humor just about every time he was on seem to keep it like it was always Family! Always wanted to meet Mr. Brandon, I actually worked with a guy who was an absolute nut over Ron Hurst! Several years back one of our salesman brought my Buddy Jack an autograph picture of Ron! I’ll never forget how my friend Jack was on cloud 9 for days! I myself have enjoyed several of the meteorologists that have come and gone over the years! But Brandon is Devoted!! I guess the only flaw that sticks out like a soar thumb would be his football team, the Denver Broncos 🙄 Anyway, they’re are my favorite team! That is “KY3 weather Team” I need to right a review on KY3 Sports, I’m afraid it’s not Quite up there with the weather Team, not the Anchors by no means, more so I’d say the producer! ……… Thank You for allowing me to Share my opinion on the Best Weather team in the nation!!!!

3/5Good sometimes
Been using the app for years and this is a fairly reliable app for our local weather but has several caveats. 1. Takes 10 seconds or longer for the app to load. 2. Way too many adds that get in the way especially when you need the weather information immediately such as for severe weather. Need an option for no adds. 3. The weather isn’t always accurate. This isn’t unusual as the weather here changes so quickly but they seem to rely on the click bait method a lot. They will send notifications telling you that a certain weather even could be happening and then when you look at the forecast there’s nothing but clear skies expected and decent temperatures. The notification was sent just to get you to click on the app so they can make add revenue. This happens more times than not lately. 4. It would be nice if they had a widget available for the app.. I know this is a lot and everyone has their own opinions on what they like and don’t. So my suggestion is to download the app and judge for yourself. As i said its not a bad app for local weather but improvements could be made.

1/5No tornado warning in app even with tornado 10 miles from my house and sirens
I’m not sure if KY3 has new management or what’s going on, but both the app and the weather coverage have been the worst I’ve ever seen. Twice within the last week I heard tornado sirens go off and quickly opened the app to see the tornado warning. There was no mention of any warning in app. I closed and refreshed the app multiple times and the warning never once showed up. Every other weather app had the tornado warning clearly visible at the top of the app screen. Within the KY3 app, there was only a thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch. I understand this maybe glitching once but it’s happened twice now within 7 days. This used to be my go-to app during severe storms but I think those days are over. We have more tornadoes coming into the area this evening and I won’t even be opening this app to check on warning statuses anymore since it’s so unreliable. I’d recommend finding a different app if you need severe storm notifications. You won’t get them here anymore.

2/5What is this?
I used to use this app all the time. Then it kinda slowed down on loading. During recent severe weather, it didn’t want to load at all. I haven’t had WiFi since I moved a month prior to this weather. So I uninstalled it and downloaded it again. Now it doesn’t help AT ALL to predict future forecast on the radar like the previous version I had. It used to show me future cells that might pop up which is detrimental to see how my job is going to go with cutting labor etc. it now just has a past, past + future, and future option. Anything that has future on it is absolutely useless. I have to check the past weather cells just to predict MYSELF if it’s going to screw me over and rain. The “hourly” option will say 40-60% chance but the future prediction on radar always gave me a rough idea if the cell traveling from the west was going to actually hit or not. I’m disappointed. I always liked the KY3 app because it’s local and felt more accurate than the weather channel but now I don’t know what to do or use.

3/5It’s ok but...
Not to drag KY3 down all the way... it is a cool app. I like the customization and the interactive radar is great. I haven’t gotten an error pop up in a while. That’s been nice. However... I get that this is a template and KY3 doesn’t have all the control but recently my new problem is the app doesn’t load completely and I have to close it and re open it OR most annoying, random audio starts playing from an ad or weather video AS SOON AS I open the app. It has been embarrassing because it’s usually at a higher volume when it happens. Please fix if you can. The only problem I have with the video ads is when an ad is longer than the weather update video I was going to watch. It does seem like the video ads are just to rake in more commercial money on top of the ad banners on every page. All in all there is room for improvement but we have seen some improvement. So thank you.
