First Alert Weather App Reviews

This app has not worked well in the last month—ever since the logo changed. It either won’t open or if it does, it is slow. It used to be so good.

I’m trying to delete it. It’s been frozen for days and is wasting space on my phone.

I have have used a number of weather apps to try to find a happy medium but so far I have more than two apps on my phone I have used this app before and a sister style from my local tv channel from when I lived in another state. So I am back to try the main app for raycom here is the test. We will see how it fairs.

Since the newest update I’m no longer able to view the current weather forecast

The major downfall to this app is it doesn't update location as you travel. You must change locations manually.

So much better than the weather channel app.

Need an app with notifications; this has them but they NEVER work. On to the next one.

This app was reviewed on our local news by our meteorologist! I was skeptical. I already had 5 weather apps on my phone and 3 other weather apps on my iPad. Why would I want another one? So, I downloaded this app just to see it. OMG, I love the interface! Intuitive and quick and NOT a bloated app like The Weather Channel app has become. Of special note is the map used for radar weather. No other weather app I've seen uses this type of map. Could be Google Maps - you can zoom in to your house! The weather radar is overlayed. Past and future weather. Summary: best UI, best maps, quick, efficient, now my go-to weather app!

Everytime I start this app it crashes and shuts off immediately and ceases to work and it needs and emergency update like NOW

This app has everything i need. I love all the info I can get 24/7 right on my phone. The videos are fantastic! Now I can watch the weather segments on my schedule. Great app!!

Used to love this app and use it for all my weather needs. Since they changed it, I hate it! Can't find anything Info I am looking for and it want keep my current location! Deleting and going to another weather app!

A tornado would have time to roll through before you get through the ads. It's a pain to get the weather information you need. Ugh. WLBT - simplify and provide!

I use this app several times a day, more if weather is bad. The hourly and daily forecast now being black and white plus the layout makes it too difficult to read. I hate the radar image also. I used to be able to see the county outlines but can’t now. I guess this was an update but please either change this back or redesign. May have to start using the “weather “ app which I’ve never used as much as this one. So disappointed.

Excellent app.

Consistently WAY wrong - alerting to severe winds, damaging rains, etc. when nothing of the kind occurs. When you get into the app you must wait for a 30 second or so video advertising to run before you can get any weather information, even when you just got a severe alert. Terrible app. Don't bother

Severe Thunderstorm warning and watch overlays in the radar are no longer the traditional yellow color. They are red and look like Tornado warnings. Also warning/watch overlays are not nearly as transparent as in the previous version which makes it much harder to actually see the weather. I used this app mostly for the radar but will no longer use it with this new update

I like the old one better!!

I think it's ridiculous that I had to sit thought ads when checking the weather! Especially with the insanity that is the South. Do I care about fences?? No! I need to know where the storms are and when I need to take shelter. Shameful.

Tf is this ....

I really like this app before the most recent update. It's great for the area I live in. The daily forecast and hourly forecast is probably the worst part about it. I love to be able to look at the forecast and tell what the weather would be like that day simply by looking at the picture ( sunshine or rain ). Not only that but there's not much of a general written overview of what to expect throughout the day.. Other than that with a new update I think being able to drop a pin on a location would be great. If something isn't fixed soon I will be looking for another app... I give app 3 out of 5 stars simply over update

Pretty good app. I really like getting the alerts before they are on tv. We are farmers & it helps us tremendously.

This WAS the best and most accurate app available for weather. It WAS super easy to operate and maneuver through. The new update is terrible!! It's nothing but difficult to figure out and I can't tell you if it's accurate because it takes a computer genius to do so.

One of my most used apps and one of my oldest apps. I’ve used it across multiple platforms and it’s awesome every single time. The latest update to the radar is perfect. I had the same idea years ago, guess I should’ve sent it to you. (The expand option) Wish I could give you 8 or 9 stars.

The radar map is wrong 90% of the time. Can’t depend on it to know if it’s going to rain or storm where you are located on the map.

The app used to be very good. Now when opened it gives the wrong temperature right off the bat and is is more difficult to navigate. Hope they can get all the bugs out.

I use this app all the time to keep up with the weather! After I figured out how to set my home location as the default it got even better.

Don't waste your time. Way too many adds & I don't like the annoying voice that blurts out a warning. Then go to app to get weather update and there isn't enough change in the weather for the app to have warned me. You have to watch video advertisements instead of getting weather update.

App crashes every time I try to open it!! I used to love it. I'm now looking for another weather app

I would get alerts saying that there is flash flood, but when I opened the app it says no alert. I think the alerts are for some regions other than the one I live in. Kinda beats the purpose of having this app!

This was a tremendous weather app. You could see temperatures and forecast for the next couple of days on the home screen at a glance. Then, somebody made it "better." But, by making it better they screwed it. Now it's awful. I'm going to have to look on further for another weather app that doesn't forced me to search through various screens for weather information.

This app used to be great and very accurate. The new radar is terrible, slow, and inaccurate because it’s so slow. Thunderstorms used to be yellow. Now all alerts are red which makes seeing thunderstorm vs tornado warning difficult. Bring back the old radar view!

I really liked this weather app at first, then every time you opened the app this huge advertisement popped up first and covered the entire page...every time. And every time you got out and went back to it, it had to open up again which caused the huge app to show up every single time. Very annoying. Already deleted. Too bad

Used to be my favorite app for weather but you constantly keep inserting more ads, on start screen and now on radar screen.

This may be a good weather app but it has so many larger ads that I can’t tell. This app is not about providing weather. It’s about selling ads and they sell many. They never mention the ads while pushing it on TV.

This use to be my favorite weather app now it has serious issues the future feature goes twelve hours later and when watching bad weather it is already out of the state., you need to see when it is in your area not already when it has passed

The previous version of this app worked okay, but this latest version is simply unusable. The interface is a huge downgrade from its predecessor, with the worst color palette imaginable. The app opens on a questionable map graphic and the user has to dig through unlabeled menus just to find daily/hourly weather. It's ugly, not user-friendly and sloooooow. I wouldn't recommend downloading this app, unless it's being used to punish prisoners.

Weather is currently getting worse. Other app shows rain coming. This radar map is totally devoid of anything! I mean nothing!

The app works really well and is almost always up to date. However, it sends 2-3 notifications a day, even when no storms are predicted for the next 10 days. There needs to be an option for receiving only storm watch and storm warning notifications.

This is THE best tv weather app out there!

Will not stop asking for Bluetooth to be turned on so that it can access it. What part of no does it not understand!

I’m having to delete what use to be my favorite weather app because of the new update.

A great app for tornado warnings, floods, thunderstorms, and when power goes out!

I love this app! WLBT is awesome and very accurate.

It’s black. I use the Satellite option because I’m not interested in the Dark and Light map options. I liked the green map. Perhaps add a Green map option. Everything else about the app I like.

Slow and ad heavy app. I can't use it. I can't understand why the weathercaster on WLBT TV wastes his time and mine promoting this app. during the weathercast.

It doesn’t matter if I’m on WiFi or on my regular data this app takes so long to load it’s ridiculous, everything else I run is fine it’s only this one that is slow!!

Clickbaity. Constant clickbait banners teasing to get you to open the app. “Need an umbrella today? Open the app to find out.” Nothing special about the weather you can’t get about your area from any other app.

Just got a new iPhone 8+ with LOTS of memory and this app is not opening even at full tower signal strength . Please fix it !
