3/5Used to be pretty good but annoying now
I am so sick and tired of hearing “this is Danielle Breezy with another update”. It’s so annoying I’m about to delete the app. Now the banner notifications say there’s a tornado warning in my area but doesn’t say the county unless I open the app. This does nothing to help me. Other local stations put what county in the notification so we know it’s close to us. I opened the app on this last alert today that is supposedly for my area and it’s over 2 hours away from me. Not helpful at all. I don’t have time to keep opening the app to check

5/5A MUST-HAVE
This app is wonderful, between the traffic updates in the morning, the little mini weather update videos, and the alerts, there’s not much else you could want. My whole family LOVES the “This is New 2 meteorologist Danielle Breezy, LIGHTNING has been detected for your location!” Having those little alerts pop up out of the blue makes my day, as we are all big Danielle Breezy fans and constantly check the weather anyway. This is an app I keep on my phone all the time, it never gets deleted!

3/5Poor updates, preferred the older version
This has been my “go to” app for years. I don’t have the ability to watch the weather forecast through a TV service or streaming app, but I am always up to speed on the weather with my News 2 weather app. That is, until recently. Not sure what has happened, but I can no longer view the forecast from each new cast on the app. Please bring back the daily videos of the 7 day and extended forecast!

1/5Fix your app!!!!!!!!
I want to like this app, I really do. During the tornado warnings on March 25th this app would alert me almost 10 minutes after the weather radio went off. The other problem is that when you do finically get the alert I have to go into the app, wait for it to upload, wait for an Ad them get the warning! We would be dead if we relied solely on this app. Plus when we were watching WKRN once it got close to where we live, they stopped forcasting! We still had a tornado warning! We are in the viewing area!!!! This happened last year with the tornado. People died last year!!! We had dear friends lose family and homes. If I could give no stars I would. You need to fix the issues.

5/5Great app!
I’ve been using this app for many years. I find the radar for precipitation to be fairly accurate. It’s weather people! It changes. These are only forecast mother nature’s gonna do what it’s gonna do. But I think it’s accurate 90% of the time. Not only is a great locally here in Nashville, but I use it when I’m traveling you can look at any city Save cities check up on my folks in Los Angelesand friends in New York, Paris, and New Zealand all from the same app
