1. [R1] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US WSFA new weather app is awful: The latest update to the WSFA weather app is terrible! Radar doesn’t work. I am deleting this app because I need a weather app that works.
2. [R13] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Can’t watch radar anymore: The app was good until the radar quit working. It only goes about halfway and then it just freezes and you can’t tell where or when the rain’s coming after that or any weather for that matter. My app is up-to-date. It stays up-to-date and this problem persists.
3. [R21] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Radar: Radar doesn’t work on my phone. I get a black screen when accessing the radar tab. I can remove app the reinstall it. It will work for a day then go back to black screen. All of the other options work great. Weather forecast are good and accurate. Maybe it’s my phone or operating system. I just wish the radar worked I have no problems with other weather apps radar working. Not sure what the
4. [R25] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Pitiful: Your live radar is pitiful… Shows no rain, is pouring
5. [R4] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Terrible forecast: I never write reviews but I do not know how this app has such high reviews. I’ve been using this app for years now and the daily and hourly forecast are extremely inaccurate time to switch to a different weather app
6. [R7] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Wsfa weather: I have seen better weather prediction out of a host. Inaccurate, slow to report, and always somehow behind the eight ball. Don't waste your time with this app as long as the same people are forecasting.
7. [R22] WSFA First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Radar inaccurate.: The radar is very inaccurate.
8. [R24] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Radar: WSFA radar isn’t worth looking at. Very inaccurate.
9. [R6] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Great Weather - Too Many Ads.!: While the app works well, it takes a mini or more of watching video ads to get to the actual forecast. How about banner ads at the bottom.!
10. [R16] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Too many ads: This app use to be great, but over time it has migrated to being a ad first and weather second. It’s very click baited now.
11. [R37] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Accurate Weather, but those ads…: The many ads drive me crazy, so the app has to go!
12. [R40] WSFA First Alert Weather 2/5 · US An advertisement machine: They must rely heavily on ad revenue because their videos are short and often cut off with advertisements
13. [R18] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Getting worse: The app blinks constantly after it is opened once. You have to completely close and reopen to get the radar to work
14. [R19] WSFA First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Useless notifications: The purpose of this app is to provide lifesaving information to people. If there’s a tornado or hurricane coming, please tell me. If it’s going to hail or if there’s gale force winds, I want to know about it. But don’t send me a push notification saying it’s going to be warm this week and it might rain.
15. [R34] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US App is always buggy: I hate the application is always buggy. When I try to watch the video and change the screen to landscape view, it freezes and I have to Re-watch the ads. Then when I try to pause the video to zoom in on the times of the storms, the app freezes again, and won’t return to normal view. I have to shut down the app, reopen and Re-watch ads again. The application does not immediate
16. [R49] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US App review: The app does not work consistently
17. [R15] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US One big problem: It sure seems like my location was a much more visible dot that the dim transparent blue dot that shows on the map. It is hard to see and nearly impossible to see if clouds or rain is covering it.
18. [R31] WSFA First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Poor excuse for a weather app: Using this app is dangerous. You cannot see the warning boxes, there’s a tornado warning right now and you can’t see it on the radar because there’s no contrast on the warning box, it just blends in with the radar scan. The watch boxes make it even harder since they color individual counties vs drawing a see-able box around a section of the state. Can’t watch a 10
19. [R42] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Great meteorologists, cruddy app: The app has woken me up for two nights in a row... which would be fine if it were for severe weather. I turned off all notifications except the severe weather ones only to be woken up again today due to rain and lightning in my area! Oh no! Rain!?!? How important and severe! We better wake up the whole room including the sleeping infant. Fix the app please
20. [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.
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. [R61] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Great Weather Site: Very accurate forecasts compared to other weather sites.
24. [R65] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US False advertising: It was stating $4.99 a year but when you click on it then it changes to $4.99 a week
25. [R66] Storm Tracker° 5/5 · US Great app for chasing: Very good app i love it besides the 10$ a week
26. [R67] Storm Tracker° 3/5 · US Decent app horrible design: When I first got in the app it showed a black screen 📺 and it wants you to pay for hurricane tracking and wind 🌬️ tracking so it just charges me 29$ a year so I hope you read this thank you!!
27. [R68] Storm Tracker° 1/5 · US Lame: This app costs a fair bit and is worse than free apps that do similar things. I regret wasting my money and assume I misheard the person who recommended it. Even with paying, the radar function does not forecast (eg it stops about 5 ago) and the forecast screen show the same data any free app shows. I really wish I paid weekly so I could have tried it first. You can change temperature f
28. [R79] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US Tiempo: Magnífico
29. [R80] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 5/5 · US I love this weather app: Today however it won’t load. I depend on this app for more than weather, it’s also my go to for accurate traffic reports. Please fix it, there isn’t another app as good and accurate as this for weather and traffic.
30. [R81] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 3/5 · US Showing its age.: I’m old, and parts of me are creaking and inoperative. This app is like me. Radar doesn’t show movement over time. Moon phases simply don’t load. What works is nice. I just wish it all would. Maybe it needs financial incentive to get back up to speed.
31. [R82] Local Weather Radar & Forecast 2/5 · US Bad interface: Easy enough to enter my location, but could find no way to remove the default NYC location. Setting would be a good place for that. Or a check or radio button by the location. Or tap on the location to remove it. But no such control is visible. NYC has “favorites” under it. But there is no visible menu item or setting for favorites. I hate having to forage to find the way to make a
32. [R93] WBRC First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Need to learn how to predict weather: Really really need to learn how to predict weather 97 out of 100 times they are wrong. Same as ABC 33/40 and James Spann
33. [R94] WBRC First Alert Weather 5/5 · US Wbrc first alert weather: First alert 6 news
34. [R95] WBRC First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Weather Alert Notifications: Being able to check on the weather when I want to & see the predicted weather is helpful. What isn’t helpful is hearing the loud weather alert notifications at all hours of the day, that I already turned off. The settings are useless. I may just delete the app.
35. [R96] WBRC First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Follow Me Not Working Correctly: In Follow Me mode, it shows only partial hours for the current day and then skips an entire day when looking at hourly forecast.
36. [R107] WAFF 48 First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Crazy: The adds are ridiculous
37. [R108] WAFF 48 First Alert Weather 4/5 · US Y i tink dis is fou sta: This is great and all but it is sometimes not accurate like abt 5% of the time.This app is helpful and tells me what and when the climate and weather will be for the next two weeks. To improve da app it should show you a radar of when a cold front or when a warm front will come in a few days ahead to let everyone know and to be aware. Thxxxx😁😊👍
38. [R109] WAFF 48 First Alert Weather 3/5 · US no windspeed on radar, no tornados on the radar: i would like to use the live radar for wind and tornado tracking instead of only using the weather radio and live video because when the internet is down i cannot stream the videos and if my radio is not with me i need to be able to monitor the tornados with a chart at least. i appreciate the banner notifications, but a chart would help me know gene
39. [R110] WAFF 48 First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Constantly crashing: I was surprised by all the good reviews. I’ve not had a good experience on this app in years. It constantly crashes. You can’t watch a video and then select back, and do anything else. It won’t preform any other functions. It’s all around not user friendly.
40. [R3] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US 24hr radar: 24hr radar doesn't complete full 24hr cycle. It stops at 12 hours. Sure, I could delete and reinstall, but all my pinned locations would have to be set again. Please fix the best radar available, so I don't have to find another one.
41. [R9] WSFA First Alert Weather 3/5 · US I’d give more stars but…: The ads are garbage. I’m honestly surprised to see them on an app for WSFA (& no they aren’t based on my information). The weather is accurate most of the time though so at least there’s that.
