8. [R27] 5/5 · US Great job!!: Nice to have often updated weather info! All of your meteorologists are GREAT!
9. [R86] 5/5 · US The Only Weather App on my phone!: Def the most accurate, my fav feature is the interactive radar. I love the notification options. I receive alerts for where I live, work, and travel most. Always on time ✅ THANK YOU WBRC
10. [R59] 5/5 · US First Alert: I truly enjoy the radar but some days it just blinks where you can’t tell what it’s doing. Thank you all for keeping me updated. And the alerts really help knowing when to look for bad weather.
11. [R50] 5/5 · US Weather app: I love the fact I can see the temps all over the world especially in Angola Africa where my Son N Law works also California Washington Texas Mississippi and Florida where my Grandchildren reside. Thank You
12. [R16] 1/5 · US Ads make the videos almost unusable: In the title
13. [R18] 1/5 · US Pay walls and Ads: WBRC used to provide minimal ads and paywalls, but now the Birmingham area could be overrun by terrirists while being blown away by a tornado during a minus 100 degree weather system before you can get to the news and weather. I’m done!
14. [R36] 1/5 · US Worst app ever: Downloaded app to get weather info. Mainly consists of ads. You can’t get through even one weather update video without multiple ads. I deleted it 10 minutes later. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Shame on you Fox 6. These things are supposed to be for weather news, not another income stream…..
15. [R38] 1/5 · US Too many ads: This weather app is not good enough to sit through a 2 minute ad every video……humble yourself cause the weather channel is better and doesn’t require me to sit through ads
16. [R20] 1/5 · US Bad App: Does nothing but crash as soon as I open it. Over and over and over. Don’t even want to give it one star. Pure trash.
17. [R229] 3/5 · US Great at first...: The app was great when I first got it, and the notifications are good BUT recently anytime it's opened it shuts down as soon as you try to read a story.
18. [R236] 3/5 · US Crashing: The app is helpfull but it keeps crashing please fix
19. [R54] 1/5 · US Not Reliable Anymore: This use to be the best radar app, but now it is so glitchy. The radar doesn’t load. I have to close and open the app multiple times in order to finally get it to load. It’s the same on Wi-Fi and cellular. Please fix this issue and bring it back to the best radar app.
20. [R2] 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
21. [R22] 3/5 · US Accuracy: Your accuracy on radar is not very good. You show rain when sun is out and sunny or cloudy during a storm. I try to use it for planning, but I don’t rely on it.
22. [R15] 2/5 · US Radar: This was previously my go-to app for all things weather given the accuracy and detail of the radar. But, after the latest update, the radar map is subpar, the controls are confusing, and its accuracy is not dependable.
23. [R52] 3/5 · US Needs work: The notification are off really bad and it seems there only concern is Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. The radar is off it will show clear and there’s rain.
24. [R8] 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.
25. [R14] 3/5 · US “Weather update”Notifications: I am tired , once again, of this app waking me up to tell me that there is a weather update in the app. Geesh, wake me up if a F5 tornado is barreling down on me but I have looked everywhere in the app to find where to turn that annoying announcement off. Can’t find, so I deleted the app this morning.
26. [R25] 5/5 · US So many notifications!: I wish I could keep updates on for severe weather purposes, but you guys send me like 10 unimportant notifications per day at least. I had to turn them off :(
27. [R68] 1/5 · US Useless voice alerts: Why did Wes’ voice come on to tell me it stopped raining? I can tell that by looking out the window! There needs to be a way to turn him off and keep weather alert tones on. Deleting the app until that’s fix (or easier to fix in settings because I can’t figure it out)
28. [R12] 2/5 · US Update: The update to the app makes it less user friendly and not as clear or easy to understand. I wish they would bring back the previous version.
29. [R17] 3/5 · US Update: Do not like this new update , does not zoom in to your location on this update.
30. [R203] 3/5 · US Previously Better: In the past I spoke to others about how much I enjoyed this app. Now, after update, I have to orient my IPad to suit the app and finding information seems much more difficult. The info is there but not as easily found. The advertisements are a nuisance. Actually thinking about searching for a new weather app.
31. [R212] 3/5 · US New update cluttered and won't connect: The new update looks far too cluttered and is harder to use. Also gives me the won't connect message that WAS finally fixed. Oh well on to another app.
32. [R34] 2/5 · US Video: Video will not play
33. [R49] 1/5 · US Love the app: I can hear the ads but not the weather. What’s that about?
34. [R66] 3/5 · US Watch Live Doesn’t Work: Everything on the app is great but you can’t watch live anymore. It hasn’t worked in weeks. I have an iPhone 11 and since the latest updates, I can’t watch live. I’ve had to switch to another station’s live coverage.
35. [R237] 3/5 · US Video doesn't work: Good app but I'd wait for them to fix the video before downloading.
36. [R4] 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.
37. [R57] 2/5 · US Weather app: The app does not always come up on my location. I do have it set on follow me. Hope to see a correction with this problem soon.
38. [R41] 2/5 · US Update messed up: Since my app updated it keeps saying I’m not in area for the app. It’ll show I’m in Australia when I’m in Birmingham?
39. [R234] 3/5 · US Ok: The app works but it's 10 day forecast doesn't work. #disappointed
40. [R19] 1/5 · US Just want the radar !: Stop all the complications and ads. Dang.
41. [R32] 1/5 · US Ad generator: Mainly for ad revenue. Screen is wayyy too busy.
42. [R21] 2/5 · US 🤷🏻‍♀️what’s wrong: Update: The radar is freezing and not showing the 24 hr forecast!! The app has not shown the news on time all week, why? Every since they have changed this app there have been troubles with normal news feeds showing. Hope they fix it cause it was a great local news app.
43. [R45] 1/5 · US App needs improvement!: Since the new design for the app has been added it doesn’t show a lot of times because big adds are covering the entire screen and other times the app just closes abruptly without any warning. Please fix these bugs in the app because people need to be able to check weather throughout the day due to storms.
44. [R24] 4/5 · US Good app: I love the app however the radar is never accurate to what they show on the news and so for that it doesn’t work all that well
45. [R1] 5/5 · US Wbrc first alert weather: First alert 6 news
46. [R5] 5/5 · US WBRC first alert weather: This is the best app forever
47. [R6] 5/5 · US The best: WBRC is a great place to hear up to date weather reports
48. [R13] 5/5 · US Feature Wanted: The app is great. Although, it would be even better if there was an IOS widget feature added. Please consider adding one soon!
49. [R76] 4/5 · US Miss Widgets: I recently got my first iPhone and found out there are no widgets for most apps including this one
50. [R82] 5/5 · US Great app, but would love two things.: Would like compatibility with Apple watch and a widget for the home screen and lock screen on IOS 16, that would be great.
