1. [R1] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Keeps Getting Worse: Just got alert about upcoming forecast at 11:00 am. Turned on the app for 3 minutes of ads prior to 11:00. It’s 11:03 and still in ads/music mode. Just closed the app. Worthless would be giving undo credit.
2. [R4] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Ads: So many ads I cannot get to the weather!!
3. [R9] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US Too many ads: I want a weather forecast… but am forced to watch irrelevant ads.
4. [R15] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US App works / Too many TEMU ads: The app itself functions as expected. However, I’m tired of seeing ads from whatever TEMU is with women’s breasts all over the place. It’s ridiculous! Please remove them.
5. [R10] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Glitching App: App is pretty much unusable 90% of time. As soon as you click on the app it will open and then glitch and go back to home screen within 5 seconds. My app is updated and actually experiences this glitch on multiple devices. I’ve reached out to WKYT Facebook page a year ago and they said they would pass it along to their IT team but the app is still doing it. I love WKYT weather and w
6. [R21] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US Bad update: I updated my app today and now it won’t open. I’ve done all the usual tricks and nothing works.
7. [R29] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US WKYT weather app: Need some updating. When on wether map screen keeps acting up
8. [R3] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US Okay: I am using this app cause previous one meant for a state below me no longer works for me although it did up until like 2-3 months ago. So this one’s local but it’s not the best. No alert options for lightening. Somehow I get alerts on ai version of ai person talking about something, so turned off all alerts. Last few days was not showing anything on radar not ANYWHERE even when zoomed out to
9. [R6] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US Adds: Know you have to have adds. But would like precipitation for area updated more often and correctly. Otherwise all good!
10. [R16] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Inaccurate Radar: Don’t trust the radar on this one. Very inaccurate in comparison to TWC.
11. [R27] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 2/5 · US Only two stars: It’s not up-to-date most of the time and gives inaccurate information. it can be pouring the rain at our location and show that there is no rain on the radar. The temperature is always different from the forecast on the TV, or on our own temperature gauge at our house, etc.. I understand that that are variables @ different locations….
12. [R13] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 2/5 · US Good, but…: The app is helpful, and I used to appreciate their warnings of weather alerts. Unfortunately now it annoys you every time the show is starting so I’ve had to turn notifications off. I’ll be switching to another app for alerts.
13. [R28] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 5/5 · US Too much: - 4:30am and trying to sleep- haha~ lightning has been detected in your area- wow no kidding?! Maybe turn it off with the BUZZZZ 😫
14. [R33] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 2/5 · US Statewide Tornado Drill: Is the app supposed to notify even on drills? Mine did not
15. [R7] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Junk: Nothing to see unless it’s a live schedule viewing. I am fine with watching editions from earlier in the day but using iPhone17 nothing ever plays except for the ads that when done just go to a blank screen. Reminds me of the app on firestick. Something has changed and I can’t watch previous newscasts anymore only small little clips? Who wants to do that day in and out. Lex18 has been more
16. [R18] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 3/5 · US Forecast Videos Lacking: They’ll occasionally post videos from earlier in the day with outdated information. The website is updated more often.
17. [R25] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 2/5 · US Weather review: When we tap the button to listen there’s no sound Yes, my computer, iPad and iPhone are working
18. [R45] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Lousy job. Don’t bother: Other reviewer was right - sound is fine for ads but nonexistent for THE WEATHER!!! Ridiculous. Will delete and find a more reliable app
19. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Wonderful help tool: Helps me make plans... and keep up with family and friends all over the world, as well as Local on the 8’s.
20. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US To many ads: The whole ad thing started not to long ago. I get it. That’s how you make money. When you go none to some it’s an annoyance.
21. [R58] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US best ever: O keeps me updated every single day and I'm always on point with the weather
22. [R60] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US 90% Ads 10% Weather. Going back to Apple weather.: Absolutely horrible now. If you love endless adds taking up half the screen and popping up full screen forcing you to watch, then this is the app for you. It’s gotten so bad now that I’m going back to Apple weather. It chews up your data n sits there loading ads before everything shows up (so if you have minimal service, it takes forever beca
23. [R65] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Radar sucks cock: Radar sucks.
24. [R68] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Inaccurate weather: Do not use app for accurate weather .
25. [R69] AccuWeather 5/5 · US My favorite weather app: This app gives the best mix of precise forecasts, radar and other tools of any I have used.
26. [R70] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Radar: The radar is almost always inaccurate.
27. [R81] Weather & Radar 1/5 · US Storms: The alerts always keep me aware of oncoming storms
28. [R84] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US Great forecasts: Very accurate
29. [R85] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US Great weather App: Very informative and accurate. If it says it’s going to rain in your area in 5 minutes, it rains in 5 minutes. Dependable weather App.
30. [R87] Weather & Radar 5/5 · US ACCURATE!: I have tried multiple weather maps and this is by far is the most accurate and used on all of my devices 🌞🌧️🌝❄️☔️💨
31. [R94] KSAT 12 Weather Authority 4/5 · US Thanks: Thank you for placing the extra future 2 hours on the radar app.
32. [R96] KSAT 12 Weather Authority 1/5 · US Widgets are inaccurate.: And I hate that it forces my music to turn off whenever I open it…like no, I don’t also want the broadcast version of whatever I’m currently reading on the app.
33. [R97] KSAT 12 Weather Authority 5/5 · US Best weather app yet: I’ve tried a lot of different weather apps over time and found that this one is one of the best in design and information all around. Perhaps a little biased towards KSAT after living in San Antonio for a couple of years back in the mid 60’s but a resounding yes to this app. It not only provides me with the weather in and around San Antonio but I also added my current locatio
34. [R98] KSAT 12 Weather Authority 3/5 · US Radar issues? Just me?: I can no longer see radar a couple of hours into the future using the KSAT weather app. The only option I have is the last 24 hours ending with right now-this minute. When I looked in settings, it didn’t give me an option to look at say, the next couple of hours to see if it’s gonna rain so I know to pack an umbrella. In other words, this app is almost useless to me now and
35. [R107] Weather Underground 2/5 · US CRASHING: THIS APP CRASHES A LOT
36. [R108] Weather Underground 4/5 · US Thumbs up: I love this app - it's free, often accurate, and its visuals are very attractive and easy to understand in an instant. I do really, really wish it had future radar though. Past radar is kind of pointless so I have to toggle to another app to get that future feature. Downgrading one star only because of that.
37. [R110] Weather Underground 1/5 · US Low Quality App: It crashes on a dime, and generally over nothing
38. [R111] Weather Underground 5/5 · US Best app: I have no idea what people are talking about when they say there are a lot of glitches. It’s extremely accurate and has never been wrong for me. It’s also very easy to hook up your weather station to and it helps weather be more accurate.
39. [R19] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 1/5 · US Don’t rely on this app: This app makes you watch a 20 second ad before you can even watch the alert that was just issued. If someone happened to open it when those 20 seconds mattered I guess WKYT and WYMT wouldn’t mind as long as they get their ad funding!
40. [R8] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 5/5 · US Great Weather Information: I really enjoy the great features. The Radar and the updates and hour by hour are really good.
41. [R11] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 5/5 · US Weather watcher: I enjoy the weather app because I can check the weather any time of day or night. It’s also great for tracking storms.
42. [R40] WKYT FirstAlert Weather 4/5 · US Something’s changed: What happened to the voice notifications? Not only that, but I don’t even get a written alert notification anymore for severe weather. All my notification settings are turned on. I like this app, but I miss the alerts.
