Fox19 First Alert Weather App Reviews

Would be good if there was a way to view the old radar format. Might take a while to get used to the new one. Really like the weather updates

There is too much advertising, starting with a full-screen ad when you open the app. The information is in video format; I prefer text. Fox 19’s email messages are better so I’ve removed the app. I thought I would like the notifications but they’re only teasers. For example, “Will there be frost tonight?” or “When will it rain next?” (in four days, silly).

Why did you abandon the landscape format. Deleted ap

App crashes at startup now, no longer works.

This app is dad y’all hating

I watch Fox 19 every night. They tout their weather app all the time. I can't stand it. There are almost too many advertisements to even find the weather. Aqua proof must pay millions for all of their ads.

Please go back to older version where you could check future radar. The radar is slow and takes forever to load. Used to love this app but now it’s awful.

This once was a fabulous app and worked well. Then along came AquaProof as an advertiser and got progressively worse. Can't you leave well enough alone?

The time to get thru the "Aquaproof, Inc." plug is no longer worth the wait... Would pay for a no commercial app!!!

Too much advertising in the app and too many notifications that don't relate to severe weather.

This app ALWAYS lies it changes my location when I’m right at home. I compare my app that was 2$ and this app and the 2$ was SOO worth it!! DONT TRUST THIS APP

I expect proper grammar and spelling from my news source. The news articles that are constantly being sent out have horrendous grammar and spelling mistakes. I find that it is absolutely unprofessional and sad when I see spelling mistakes on the SECOND word of a news story misspelled. Come on......spelling and grammar for a news station!?!?!

This app is borderline malware. It’s so full of ads that navigating it is hard. Never mind that you may want to read or watch anything. The notifications are also just a push to get you to watch their news channel. Notifications come in just before they air Trying to get you tune in...rude. I deleted the app. Very poor experience.

Since I updated the app, it won’t work! It keeps saying I need a connection to use it! Even after deleting and reinstalling the app it won’t work! Get this together!!!!!

It is funny seeing people complain about the ads. Everyone wants something for free. Anyway....This app is a great and is my go to app every morning to see the video about what’s going to happen with the weather. From my experience, they have the most accurate/dependable forecasts in Cincinnati. And, they don’t do all the crazy weather hype that ch’s 9 & 5 do that gets people worked up into a frenzy.

If your app is good enough I will happily pay to remove the ads. I won’t continue using the app with ads though.

What was once a nimble local look at the weather has become a long set of ads. The video has been moved to the top and everything displays in a jumpy fashion. There are easier and faster options to find out what the weather is today.

Most of the time when it launches, the splash screen comes up, but the ad at the bottom of the page does not populate. It makes the app hang right there. For an Apple app to not support tablets in landscape mode is BS. I’m going back to the guys from GA at Weather Channel. It isn’t the greatest, but at least their app actually works and it supports both iPhone and iPad.

This app works like it should. Daily, Radar and traffic is great. I like the Lightning located -- miles away feature w/notifications, and as always the storm tracker is the apps best feature. Update: after update yesterday it's terrible. Broke what wasn't broken. Crashes. Useless. Off to find another app.

Up until the latest update, this was my favorite weather app. Obnoxious ad placement -- which puts horrible, blinking ads in the middle of the screen -- has rendered the app unusable. Hint to developers: it's possible to incorporate ads in such a way as to be subtle yet effective. Really -- it can be done! Lack of landscape mode is also problematic, but the deal-breaker for me is the ads.

Disappointed. App now will only let you select current location if you set location tracking to always. Previous version would let you do if selected while using app.

I am very satisfied with this app. I used it multiple places all throughout Georgia and Florida, and even with minimal coverage at times, it never let me down. Thanks!!!

This was my favorite weather until this latest update. I am a musician who plays a number of outdoor gigs and have relied on this app to know if and when the weather will turn bad. I don't want to be bombarded with advertisements and would be fine with paying a reasonable removal fee. But if that option doesn't appear very soon, the app is history from my phone.

I like that they want us to be informed, but I don't need a notification at 3am to tell me that it's raining. If it was severe, or I needed to take cover, that might be different.

Go back to old app

Please turn off the Bluetooth message that comes up every time the app starts. Some of us don't want to turn Bluetooth on!

After this last update the app no longer shows the current temp/weather conditions. Just another ad where this info used to be. Would be great to have the old, more simple app with less advertising.
