1. [R2] 5/5 · US Your porformance: As always your report was very good!

3. [R13] 5/5 · US 12 on your side: Channel 12 news they are the best the weather always accurate, and I wouldn’t choose any other give them 12 thumbs up Love This
4. [R14] 5/5 · US My Goto Weather App: Best in the Richmond area.
5. [R47] 5/5 · US Calera Nana: Thank you for showing us the ‘current weather’ conditions unlike other stations who show an hour or more of what ‘was’ not ‘now’. You also have available the continuous active radar which is so important during storm conditions.
6. [R70] 5/5 · US A trusted weather app: I look at several weather apps- But I trust the wwbt weather the most. I like there radar past and future option for knowing what’s in store the next few hours so I can plan on when it will start to stop raining. Very dependable! It’s my go to weather forecast. Because my business is very much weather related.
7. [R4] 5/5 · US First Alert Weather 12: Fast Weather Update any time you need it.
8. [R6] 5/5 · US Grateful for channel 12 First Alert weather app: We have DISH and as of a few days ago, we no longer have channel 12. I am so glad I downloaded the 12/ first weather app. Especially today we were able to stay up on the severe weather updates. Thank you channel 12.
9. [R11] 5/5 · US Up-to-date weather: First Alert keeps the listener informed what’s going on now and what to look forward to the future excellent service
10. [R25] 5/5 · US Love the Alerts: I feel very safe in knowing what the days weather will be and love the alerts informing of any significant weather changes going on. Thank you for keeping me and loved ones about weather updates and conditions!
11. [R5] 1/5 · US Keeps shutting off Notifications!: New update is trash. Navigating the app is all different now! Radar jerks and jumps. No point for changing the lay out.
12. [R35] 3/5 · US My Radar map is having issues…: This app has worked great until recently. Whenever I open the radar screen, if there is precipitation in the area, it “flashes” the image instead of displaying it on the map. Have I done something unintentionally to the setup?
13. [R38] 2/5 · US JB: It used to be a great weather radar that we could count on for accuracy! In the past month it has been very unreliable!! I don’t know what happened, but you can’t count on it any more!!!
14. [R41] 3/5 · US Radar is wildly inaccurate: I’ve use this app for years and like the weather videos they post, as well as the functionality of the app. However, in recent times the radar is just wildly inaccurate. Completely different from other radar systems and just shockingly wrong. As an example, right now the NBC12 app is showing a huge storm cell over our head, yet outside, looking up, not a cloud in the sk
15. [R9] 1/5 · US Ad Overkill: I would love the app were it not for the home page being filled with half a page of ugly advertisements for sagging skin, dementia, yeah, I’m no spring chicken, but I don’t want to be looking at that stuff just trying to get my weather forecast for the day! I feel like we’re back in the 90s with web pages filled with stupid advertisements. :(
16. [R10] 1/5 · US New viewers, love show but hate advertising just to view weather on the app.: Love the weather but the advertising makes it hard to get to weather screen.
17. [R21] 2/5 · US Shop new developers: Even worse now- when watching a video if you look at the screen funny, you have to watch, yet another ad. From version 1.0 to present- Radar screws up if app isn’t opened from a closed stat. 1 1/2⭐️
18. [R23] 5/5 · US Tornado warning frustration: You sent out a tornado warning, during our hurricane, went on your site and had to listen to a 90 second real estate commercial before I could get information. That not cool!
19. [R53] 3/5 · US Way too many ads: Cashes often
20. [R63] 5/5 · US App crashes lately: The app crashes when I try to enter an alternate location
21. [R68] 1/5 · US Frustrating. App freezes or won’t load frequently.: Frequently have to uninstall/re-install. Finding Dark Sky to be much better. I’ll watch NBC12 on TV and use another app.
22. [R78] 3/5 · US Fair: Good information but the app is frequently slow and wonky.
23. [R3] 1/5 · US Horrible new traffic update: I grew up in Richmond and love this app for its weather alerts and traffic map. However, after years and years of use I’m having to move on to another app. The new traffic update from a month ago only allows for you to view a small area around Richmond, not simply anywhere you. I use this when I travel all up and down the East coast. The actual traffic conditions and h
24. [R12] 1/5 · US Bad Update!: Why? Do not like the new update, put it back the way it was.
25. [R120] 1/5 · US “MapJoke”: I hate mapbox which is the new weather radar map !! It seriously zooms in to the roof, driveway whatever and then I have to zoom it out , very frustrating!! “I swear I can see Alaska from here” that’s how tight it zooms in . Please please go back to Google weather or something else . I also hate that they removed the daily submitted photos section , you can post , but for what the weath
26. [R15] 1/5 · US I don’t live on the east coast: Even though I have my location on (and don’t live on the east coast) I get notifications about weather on the east coast.
27. [R32] 2/5 · US Shows weather videos for incorrect location: This app sends alerts and shows videos for Virginia even though my location is set for Jacksonville.
28. [R52] 3/5 · US Weather in Richmond Virginia: I live in Franklin WI. Keep getting alerts for Virginia.
29. [R64] 1/5 · US Can someone help me delete this app.: I don’t want the app any longer. It comes on even in the middle of the night which is good for some people but what they are saying never applies to me. I can’t find a way to get rid of it.
30. [R46] 5/5 · US NNC 12 weather app: Commercials always play. Most times a prompt states unable to play requested video. So what good is it if video doesn’t play!
31. [R60] 4/5 · US Good app but video drops: Great local weather app however I have one issue. The preceding ad always plays completely but the following weather video ends abruptly, cutting off the end of the report.
32. [R115] 2/5 · US Video errors all the time: I love getting weather notifications, but the video forecasts don’t play. Incredibly frustrating.
33. [R22] 5/5 · US Preview not available: Great app but "preview" of changes not yet available. App also needs dew point measurement.
34. [R28] 5/5 · US NBC 12 First Alert Weather: I throughly enjoy the NBC 12 First Alert Weather App for iPhone. I have a ? It would be most beneficial to have under hourly the Relative Humidity reading included on the hourly setting. This is part & parcel of another weather app. that I use frequently during the winter season. It is a useful & important piece of the puzzle. With Warm Regards, David P. Paul
35. [R48] 4/5 · US Ch 12 weather: Have to search to locate 7da forecast, then not clearly labelled. E..G.: See Andrew talk about today, below are 2 boxes, one says I’m watching “this “, Then he starts talking in top box if you remember to turn on his mike, then below is , (so much jumping around needed)box talking about Sun weather, today is Thurs , why? Many times I give up , go to another app. Still haven’t
36. [R55] 3/5 · US Ehhhh: It's good for the most part. Just wish there was a way to look at the barometric pressure and be able to tell what it was the previous few days. Because as a migraine sufferer it can help predict when some of us may get them.
37. [R1] 1/5 · US Traffic: No traffic for outer viewing areas.
38. [R161] 3/5 · US No traffic cams!: Looks o k, but no traffic cameras.
39. [R16] 5/5 · US Short and Sweet: For the RVA / Central Virginia area, this gives you all the weather information you need in an incredibly concise manner. Sure, it starts with an ad, but that’s a small price to pay.
40. [R17] 5/5 · US Love it: It’s so much better than the Apple version even though I love Apple but sometimes it’s just wrong and I got this app and it’s so much better than Apple
41. [R39] 5/5 · US Weather updates: So glad to get updates on my phone. Helps me plan my day and be prepared for what's coming.
42. [R27] 1/5 · US Weather updates: I don’t like having to watch the commercials with every short weather update. It seems the commercials are longer than your reports. The other stations give the same information without the commercials and because of that I watch them and not you.
43. [R103] 1/5 · US Long ads for short videos...: I’m forced to watch these 30 sec. long ads for a video that’s a couple minutes or less. They are also played between each video. It’s very aggravating and I’m switching to CBS6.
44. [R42] 3/5 · US Fair Weather App: My main issue with the weather app is that the radar doesn’t work when there’s an actual event happening. Doesn’t matter the phone, I’ve seen it on several. I’ll try opening it to see what’s going on and the precipitation blinks on the map. I end up closing it and checking another local station’s.
45. [R45] 1/5 · US No good when it doesn’t work !: Only had app on my iPhone a week. Like to look at live radar before starting an outdoor thing - especially on rainy days. However every day it totally stops working for minutes - hours !! Just shows a clear picture- No radar !!!Sheepdog 1 sheepdog
46. [R121] 3/5 · US Used to work: This used to be my go-to weather app until recently when I just can’t get the app to stay open. It will start up then go to my home page and I don’t know what’s up. It’s only this app but I’d love if it would be fixed soon!
47. [R129] 2/5 · US Frustrating!!: I used to rely on this app as I have neither internet or cable. Lately it is constantly freezing or just plain crashing! Virtually useless.....
48. [R151] 3/5 · US Hate It!: Hate this new update. Very slow when I can even get it to load. Going to start using Weather Channel app...
