Wafb First Alert Weather App Reviews

Gives basic weather info WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT SUE TO ADDS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!!! Deleting this app and going with WBRZ CHANNEL 2 because of it So frustrating that you can’t see what you cans there for 80% of the time

10/5

Really really badly needs work on the UI its very clunky and hard to use needs a bunch of bug fixes to for the last month i havent even been able to open the app it kicks me off every time, i like the notifications and all but please fix the UI it is so god awful

You guys need to fix the timing on the notifications for lightning and rain. When it pops up lightning is located 4.6 miles away but starts flashing like its 4.6 feet away there is a problem.

The temperature, highs vs lows, are very wrong A LOT!

This app works perfectly!!!

I really like this App, the Future model for Radar is really helpful!

This app is very good-pretty graphics and accurate radar. That is, it's good when it works. It crashes on start very often causing me to delete the app then redownload it. Get a more stable app and this is a 5 star review.

Every day when watching the news on WAFB the two meteorologists push installing this app to get the "latest weather" updates. The app is a total joke. Each time there's an update you're forced to watch 30 second ads before you can see anything. Static ads are fine, although you'd think between online ads, broadcast ads, and revenue from cable services that an ad on a weather app would be superfluous, but the ads in this app are full screen and no way to exit out of them. This app is nothing more than a blatant money grab providing very little useful content that can't be obtained elsewhere faster and more accurately without the necessity to line the pockets of WAFB to watch a radar.

The app is ok and gives some pretty good info. I also like the alerts but the freakin ads drive me nuts. There's an ad on each page which means I won't EVER upgrade the original WAFB app for news. I prefer not to be bombarded with useless information constantly! I plan to delete this app!

Excellent app for severe storm warnings. We used it exclusively on Christmas Day 2012 while we were in Louisiana. During that time, a tornado formed over us as it moved east. I can not say enough good things about this app.

The app is good ... when it works! About half the time it just locks on the front page with the weather people, then nothing happens and can’t move anything. So I have to go to WBRZ’s weather page. Too bad.🙁

Lsu

Everytime I open app, it tells me to upgrade! I have the latest version. Also, I want app to default to opening the map. I have to manually open map each time.

The new update needs an update! I have to go into the help menu to figure out everything! But if I had to pick one thing that changes it would be to put the location dot back on the map!!! I HATE that this has been removed! I like that I didn’t have to zoom into street view to see how close the bad weather is to my exact location. I’m on the road making multiple stops for work and on bad weather days I am always using the app before I leave a location to see what I’m going to be driving into. Please fix this!

Love the new update! More user-friendly. I really like the new real-time maps. I didn't like the "past-future" radar maps. Thank you!!

The app is good except it is in portrait view only. Needs to be able to rotate to landscape.

Since the latest update the app doesn’t even open. When I click to open it closes out.

Best update yet it's about time

Good app

I use on the lake or out of state for beach

Best weather app I've got! Love the way you can add locations to track weather around the country. Great for keeping an eye on vacation weather or weather near my far flung family.

Love this app & use it daily! After iOS 7 update, it crashes when playing future radar (does fine with past). So far, it's the only bug I've noticed after update. Also (not a bug, but it's on my wish list), would love to have access to the most recently aired weather video clips. Seems they're not updated very frequently/timely. A few tweaks & it would be perfect. Thanks for the quality product & I look forward to updates!

WAFB does not even see these reviews!!!!!!!!! They STILL show the weather team for way too many seconds!!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!! WAFB, to first gaze seconds upon the weather team ( as much as I think they do a good job) then an ad, THEN to get to the actual weather menu.....that is difficult at best........ Just doesn't get it!!!!!!!!!! I am sticking with Weatherbug for my typical, everyday news info. True that it is not geared to our area only, but at least I can get current info without the hassle WAFB puts you thru. No good local weather app.... Certainly not Shingleton's weather mess! Certainly are not updating the weather info. Might as well not even bother to look at this one, but I keep hoping!

This app crashes my iPad but some people do not want to go through all that personalization entering where you live they just look at the weather for Baton Rouge it is way too invasive

The app seems to do great at times! Very glitchy!

5 stars. Need I say more

This new update is TERRIBLE! I will be using a different app until this is resolved. This makes the radar 1) look majorly outdated, 2) difficult to see the precipitation because the watches and warnings are not transparent enough, and 3) look confusing because severe thunderstorm warnings are red and not yellow like TV and every other resource. It is a completely terrible update.

The "new look" is still functionally awful. Instead of seeing a map, forecast, current conditions, and perhaps a scrolling alert, along with a menu for less-used items, now you get just current conditions and headlines in this cooool rotating format. Yes, it's so cool. News flash, WAFB: I don't check the weather app for its coolness factor; I want to see what the weather is. The old app did that better. WBRZ still uses the functional template WAFB did previously, for now at least. You open it, and what you need is right there on the screen.

Not optimized for iPhone X, too many ads, outdated feeling design.

Fancy! Very smooth sexy look.

The app does not open half the time. Seems as if it is stuck or something and no way to move from pictured staff. Location is on. App is good when it will open. Deleted and redone but still does same thing.

The older version of this app was better because the map would show up first and stay up. The new version has a setting for the map to be the first thing to show up but that doesn't always work, the tabs just flip around in a circle and you hope you can catch the map like on a slot machine...I mainly want to look at the radar. Everything else is secondary.

Ehh

I've gone back to the older version. It has less complicated maneuvers to see the radar. This version is for someone really into the weather. I just want to see the radar and hurricane warnings. No thanks! And, please, stop telling me to upgrade........

Great app I use whenever I travel and before I plan a trip.
