1. [R9] 5/5 · US Channel 14 - Rocks: I love the weather report I get daily! I know it is well trust d in my book! Thank you Channel 14!!!❤️❤️❤️
2. [R18] 5/5 · US Love it: I love this app it’s so good and it tells me when there’s a tornado
3. [R22] 5/5 · US 14FirstAlert: 14FirstAlert Is always telling me what exactly the temperature is and is always notifying me for tornados, snow and storms
4. [R36] 5/5 · US 14 Weather App: I love this app. Always up to real time. You get alarms if there are storms coming in your area or near by you can see the radar just like your watching tv. Alerts sound for not just storms but high humidity, pollen, tornado warnings or just a beautiful day ahead good for cutting grass. You can plan your day out if you need a umbrella, a jacket whatever the case may be. I’ve watche
5. [R47] 5/5 · US Best weather app: This is by far the best weather app. I can pause radar, go forward and backward, and zero in on my location. No other app allows a user to do this. I have tried countless. It is also very accurate. My kids, students, and other family are always asking me to check the weather. FANTASTIC!!
6. [R57] 5/5 · US Radar: It’s literally a technological miracle that I can have instant radar on my phone with 100% up-time. Thank you 14!
7. [R129] 5/5 · US Best weather app!!: Has the best live radar with wind directions, hail, and tornadic symbols. Just AWESOME!!
8. [R135] 4/5 · US Very Good!!: Great radar map, with your location. Uploads very fast
9. [R52] 5/5 · US Job Scheduling Tool: My job requires me to know the weather conditions before we schedule the day. The 14 app is perfect for me to know when favorable or unfavorable weather events are going to happen.
10. [R54] 5/5 · US 14 Weather App: I truly appreciate the 14 weather app ! It gives me the information that I need to plan my day and to stay safe! It is reliable! Thank you
11. [R5] 1/5 · US Ads: Way too many pop up ads to get to the info in the site & then continued adds while trying to navigate from one city to another.
12. [R10] 1/5 · US Ads are gross: This used to be my go-to weather app but I had to stop using it for the ridiculous and sometimes disgusting advertisements. Most of the time they weren’t even promoting a product, just vaguely describing a misinformed life hack meant as clickbait for who-knows-what. I remember one that said to pour alcohol into your air vents. The one that made me uninstall had dust mites crawling o
13. [R12] 1/5 · US First alert Severe Weather: Phone says to check the app for upcoming severe weather and I go to it and there’s sound for commercial, but none for the alert! Not a very good app if it’s main focus is on making $$, but not alerting folks about weather
14. [R14] 1/5 · US Too Many Adds that could cost your life: This isn’t the weather app, this is a app that makes 14 news money from all their adds. Please do not install, it will one day cost everything you love, Smothering your eyes with the same five adds back to back before you can get somewhere safe in time or to see the next wave of storms coming. I assure you this “weather app” will not protect you or the ones
15. [R13] 2/5 · US App crashes often: Open app. Wait for add. Open daily weather. App crashes. Open app. Wait for add. Open hourly weather. App crashes. All I want to know is the local weather and all I get is an advertisement and the app crashing. If I die in a tornado, it will likely be because I was either sitting through an advertisement or restating the app after it crashed.
16. [R19] 2/5 · US Riddled with junk ads: I really want to like this app, but it’s extremely touchy with freeze ups and annoying pop-up ads. Very cluttered looking too, with the live feed buried towards the bottom. You’re trying to focus on protecting yourself and your family from incoming violent storms, and you have to deal with it, unfortunately. You know that iPhone game that you want love, but it’s just impossi
17. [R39] 1/5 · US not loading: it’s not loading at all
18. [R44] 1/5 · US Poor App.: This app is not designed well with lots of ads. It also often can crashes. Overall not a good app.
19. [R71] 2/5 · US Never works.: Long load times seems to be getting worse and worse. Then if you click any of the videos it continues to say error cannot load requested video. I have the newest version and even deleted and reinstalled and same issues.
20. [R72] 2/5 · US It’s, alright.: I have been using this app for almost a years now, and it’s been excellent. But, I’ve noticed that the radar keeps getting slower~ and slower~ every time I use it. And, it’s really inaccurate. When I need the radar, it will either crash, or not show anything. And again, very inaccurate. When we plan to do inside stuff, it ends up being sunny. When we plan outside stuff, we get rain
21. [R81] 2/5 · US Slow: Very slow to load when needed. If the weather is great, no storms in the area, the app pops right up. If there are any storms coming through (when you need it the most) it may not load at all. I believe it has something to do with the gps, finding your current location.
22. [R85] 1/5 · US When every second counts... You’re out of luck with this app: This app seems to get slower and slower every time I TRY to use it. End up giving up and going to other weather apps. Get rid of the annoying ads too. I’d pay for a fast, functional, working local weather app.
23. [R3] 1/5 · US New Format: I DO NOT like this new format, when my phone upgraded, it changed it. I prefer the old STYLE Much Better !! This new one is too difficult to fiqure out !!!!
24. [R7] 1/5 · US Map downgrade: The maps were better prior to version 6.1.302. This is not an upgrade.
25. [R91] 3/5 · US Hate the new update!: I have been a follower of the 14 app for a long time! I am not, however, on Facebook nor do I plan to be. The purpose of the app is to keep us posted with live coverage but NOW we have to have FB to see Jeff Lyons do his live updates. Not everyone lives on social media. Please fix this as I would like to know what's going on when I am away from home.
26. [R95] 2/5 · US Slow and sloppy: I love 14 news. But this new update feels like a sloppy copy of the weather channel app. And it doesn't even show the percent chance of ran for the day until you pull that exact day up. Not a fan of this app
27. [R4] 2/5 · US If ypu live near the ohio river do not expect an accurate forcast: I use the WFIE First Alert Weather app regularly because I want a reliable local source, but the overall experience has become increasingly difficult to deal with. I live in 47714, and the weather never matches where I live. I would appreciate money being invested into equipment that would allow localized neighborhood weather. Don'
28. [R6] 1/5 · US Never accurate weather: We need Mike Blake back at least his reporting was correct.
29. [R21] 1/5 · US Radar 3/3/02025 - 5:35pm: Not sure what was going on with 14 First Alert’s Radar but pretty thankful the weather wasn’t as bad as they said it would be. At 5:35pm, WFIE’s Radar App showed the storms had passed and in reality there was another round right above us that was going to hit us. Hopefully WFIE gets this fixed because we have more storms coming the Wednesday night. People depend on WFIE f
30. [R24] 2/5 · US The reason: The reason for this is not just for the app but for the whole newscast too. We live in southern Muhlenberg county. When it comes to general weather and severe weather you seem to miss our community past Weir. We usually have to go to News channel 5 to see what is coming our way. I have always loved your station and have always counted on it. Then when I moved next to the Plantation Hou
31. [R16] 2/5 · US Too many alerts.: It has settings to turn on and off, but I keep getting unwanted notifications to watch their live news. Just send the alerts I ask for and not so many advertisements for your shows.
32. [R37] 2/5 · US Way too intrusive: Alerts for every thunderstorm for 100 miles. I live in Evansville I don’t want that annoying alarm sound every time the forecast changes for somewhere a state over. And never mind the ads. Video is okay though.
33. [R50] 1/5 · US Notifications: Notifications go off often, even when it’s not an emergency. Turning it off, might delete the app altogether.
34. [R64] 1/5 · US U give too many alerts: It's like nonstop I mean why two alerts in less than 5 min it's not necessary you keep alerting and alerting I mean if a warning I understand but a watch !
35. [R17] 1/5 · US Weather Outlook Bideos: Why do so many of the weather outlooks not have sound on them? The preceding advertisement does.
36. [R27] 3/5 · US Live feeds: Couldn’t get the weather live feeds on this app during all the tornado warnings yesterday.
37. [R38] 2/5 · US It’s marginally decent should be great: The functionality is good and they actually give a local forecast at times instead of basically copying and pasting the free info from the NWS and charging you for it. The problem I have is that they don’t do live updates often enough and there is a consistent issue with the live streaming. We lost power the other day during a storm and I was trying to use
38. [R58] 3/5 · US App won’t open anymore...: Have had the app for several years and have always loved it. Not sure what has happened but, it just gives me the “boot” screen w/the spinning wheel of death, and never opens. Have rebooted my phone and even deleted and re-downloaded app to no avail
39. [R60] 1/5 · US Junk app: Every single time that I try to use this app it freezes. I’m using an iPhone 11 so there should be no problem on my end. Please fix this app.
40. [R32] 2/5 · US Too many ads: There are too many ads. Last week we had tornadoes in our area. All we had was our phones and this app during a power outage. When we open the app to see updates, warnings, or live feed we have to watch an ad! I feel that a weather app that is sometimes your only way to get updates in a dangerous situation, there shouldn’t be any ads playing! If no ads, I would give a 5 star review a
