News4Jax Weather Authority

Even though we were Blessed with just little rain & wind we were prepared for the worst. With you all as our co-pilots were steered though all the closures, & trees down & knew we were being watched out for by the best. Between all the first responders & all of you at channel 4 we felt safe & in the know all the time. Thank you for all your hard work & lack of sleep & all your caffeine overdose you did for all of Jacksonville again.

In this day and age you’d think the radar image would be as you say “up to the minute”. It’s not even close! By the time your radar shows my area in Atlantic Beach the storm has already passed. To tell you the truth I’m not sure why I even use the app. Also , when your meteorologists are reporting temps in the Jax area you show 80 degrees here 81 there 80 there 81 there 79 there and so on. A one degree temp difference is a waste of time to verbally report! It’s in the 80’s in the area would suffice. Your just trying to fill time with this and it’s a waste of time really. Also when your news reporters go “live “to a crime scene it’s usually just showing a house. Whoopee! We’ve all seen a house before. At night when you go to a scene you show flashing fire truck or police lights. Whoopee!! We’ve all seen police lights too!! You’d think you could use your time more wisely. Driving to a scene to show nothing is another waste of time and man hours. Maybe throw some national news or more sports coverage to fill this wasted space. Anyway, thanks for getting rid of the most egotistical sports anchor in the history of broadcasting !! Have a good day and thanks for letting me share my opinion. E. Todd Hicks.

I have always respected JOHN GAUGHN( forgive me if I misspelled his last name) however the past three days I keep getting these notifications that say cooler temps or not as hot as it has been. I received these notifications and they are FALSE ! IT IS EVERY BIT AS HOT AS THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH AND FEELS WORSE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WHEN YOU WOULD THINK WE WOULD RECEIVE SOME KIND OF RELIEF ! 82 degrees at 3 am doesn’t count!!! The only reason I gave 3 stars is because I know it’s really hard to predict Florida weather. HOWEVER DO NOT SEND ME NOTIFICATIONS OF COOLER TEMPS ONLY TO GET MY HOPES UP AND THEN THE MOMENT I OPEN THE DOOR I FEEL LIKE I PUT MY FACE IN THE BROILER.

It is so nice getting updates on what’s going on in your area when you’re at home on the road out of town it’s fantastic. I never get to really watch the news I’m not at home a lot so this is the app to have and if you don’t you’re missing out on something great that could save your life!

After using this app for years and being happy with it, I noticed it was killing my battery by always running in the background. I don’t know if they’re pushing out more notifications or if it’s that it tells me it’s detecting lightning near my location every minute, but I tried to shut those functions off. Then the entire app became unusable and I’d have to go into setting to turn it on just to get a radar picture. Wish it would just turn on when I wanted to see radar rather than having to always be on and being my most power consuming app. Looking for something else now.
