1. [R3] 5/5 · US Great: This app is great it tells the truth most of the time and has fun warrings that can really keep you on your toes and make you think twice .Anyway i recommend it deeply .You can learn stuff that you would not if you did not have this amazing experience on this wonderful app. The reason how I found this app was I said Tuesday is going to be 66° and sunny but then she looked on her Weather app
2. [R19] 5/5 · US Barry: I just LOVE my 4 First Alert Weather Team They were telling us about a Tornado Warning before the Weather Service System had given the Warning Always Awsome Always helpful and knowledgeable and informative
3. [R45] 5/5 · US Up to date weather information!: Really enjoy the accurate weather information! As soon as there’s any changes WSMV4 Weather alerts me! Thank you for the this app!
4. [R50] 5/5 · US Way better than Apple Weather!: This is a great app. Timely alerts and radar that is actually current.
5. [R7] 5/5 · US Love the Weather, Not the Warning Spam: I really love the radar, it’s consistently more accurate and up to date than many other apps I’ve tried. Unfortunately, the notifications are a major downside. I only have a few very specific alerts turned on, yet I keep receiving notifications for things I’ve disabled. If the notification issues get fixed, I’m happily back on Team WSMV4.
6. [R66] 5/5 · US App: WSMV channel 4 has the best weather app going. I love the live radar.
7. [R111] 4/5 · US So far, so good.: Love this app so far. Great radar to see what's coming in the next hour. Only had it one day. Will update after several weeks and hopefully up it to 5 stars.
8. [R8] 5/5 · US Channel 4 is lucky: When I found out that Bree Smith was coming to channel 4 I was so happy. I was watching TV the other day and I saw where a woman had said that she was it was like Bree was in your living room with you. That is true she puts it in terms that everyone can understand. I would never watch another channel when she was on channel 5 now I only watch channel 4. She’s a very caring and
9. [R33] 5/5 · US Local weather: It’s always better to get the weather LOCALLY. 👍👍👍
10. [R47] 5/5 · US WSMV WEATHER TEAM: I agree with WSMV having the most accurate weather reporting team in this market. Dan Thomas and Lisa Spencer both seem very knowledgeable in their profession. Don’t get a warm fuzzy feeling about any of the others. BTW, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with Lisa’s hair. She’s a very attractive middle aged lady and should wear her hair any way she darn well pleases.
11. [R62] 5/5 · US Weather: I think Dan Thomas is not only the best weatherman, but also the dearest, nicest young man on Channel 4. Keep in mind that I have never met him. Lisa needs a new, shorter hairdo. She too old for long hair. Love Channel 4 and always watch it😘🌦☀️🌈
12. [R1] 1/5 · US Surplus of Ads Ruin what used to be a 5-Star App: This used to be a great 5-star app that was extremely helpful, lightning-fast, and so simple to understand, use, and navigate. It initially had a minimal number of ads that were short, easy to skip, didn’t block or detract users from viewing the important content of important and critical info in time-sensitive situations like severe weather, major
13. [R11] 1/5 · US The panic show: What a non serious weather app for Tennessee. Tells you nothing but keeps you in suspense and state of fear. Also, the most junk ads on it that are dishonest. Boy the local weather has really gotten desperate to pay these hucksters that call themselves meteorologists. Just use apple westher. Just as good.
14. [R21] 1/5 · US Terrible app: Too many ads, including a scare-ware, warning my iPad memory is full. Click to clean. I don’t think so! Deleting NOW!
15. [R22] 3/5 · US Stop with the opening ad: I get that cool ray probably paid a lot of money for their title sponsorship but do we need to show it every single time I open the app? wasted seconds especially when trying to find news about severe storms quickly and I have to wait for the ad/open screen to disappear.
16. [R13] 3/5 · US Very buggy now: App closes and jumps around making it harder to use or even want to now .
17. [R17] 2/5 · US Great App.... Just Wish I could have it back.: WSMV has THE BEST LOCAL radar and pinpoint accuracy for tracking storms in the Nashville area. Sadly, my app doesn't work. It's been corrupted and no updates for it on my device have been allowed for it since 2024. Big overlay issues... I think someone linked the app to the website and now it just doesn't behave correctly. Tried to reach out to Channe
18. [R31] 2/5 · US Used to be my fav: But now the app is glitching every time I open it!
19. [R34] 1/5 · US Terrible app: I love WSMV anchors. But this app is clunky, only displays the correct video half of the time and is extremely slow to load
20. [R5] 1/5 · US Keeps going down: The app can be difficult to navigate. Trying to get current local news can be difficult.. Someone loves some generic news channel that has nothing to do with Nashville. The app is not in sync with the news in the morning. I hope they’re not paying good money for somebody to put this together.
21. [R15] 2/5 · US Not impressed with app: I recently moved here from Cincinnati, Ohio. I found the WLWT app to be very user friendly and easy to navigate. I find the First alert 4 weather app not as user friendly. When trying to scroll down if you accidentally touch the wrong area on the page the page collapses into a list of 4 or 5 smaller boxes. Once there the only way I’ve found to get back to the main page is t
22. [R18] 4/5 · US Good: I got the app because I watch the WSMV 4 news channel There’s only one thing I don’t like about this app. Randomly there will be some map key or something like that and it will pop up and I don’t know how to get out of it so I just kill the app and reopen it But overall it’s good, easy to understand, and reliable.
23. [R24] 1/5 · US Horrible app!: Navigation is a MESS… it constantly pushes you to a page of written information that you CANNOT BACK OUT OF without closing the app. Horrible, messy design, too many ads. Way too frustrating to attempt to use.
24. [R2] 2/5 · US Too many spam notifications: This is supposed to be a weather app but you get more notifications about other things and have no way to turn them off. I want notifications about weather events not about the color of fireworks.
25. [R12] 3/5 · US Just too much: I use weather apps for the weather forecast. I do not use them for useless factoids. If you get this app, go ahead and plan for useless information coming through your notifications. No thank you, deleting the app. I really don’t care that local humans are running this app. They also pull the notification trigger WAY too much.
26. [R51] 3/5 · US Way too many notifications!: Went to setting to receive notifications for severe weather and tornado warnings. Gives me notifications for basically everything.
27. [R4] 2/5 · US Weather radar too fast: The weather radars have all been changed in that the Past radar goes by too quickly. It used to pause at the current time’s radar return before repeating the cycle. Now it flies by that and returns to the beginning of the cycle. No time to study the map unless manually pausing it.
28. [R46] 2/5 · US Radar app: Radar app rarely works.
29. [R49] 2/5 · US Radar: 4 out of 5 times I go to check radar it doesn’t work
30. [R79] 1/5 · US Terrible non-working app: Never had so much trouble with an app before. I just deleted it. That was the second time I’ve installed it & it still doesn’t work correctly. Half the time it is stuck on the ad page. Or the radar is completely wrong. It’s raining outside & when I go to the app it shows no rain around us. We live in Franklin and it seems to give me the weather for Nashville. I’ve complai
31. [R10] 3/5 · US Inconsistency: The app is eh. The only issue I have is the inconsistency it's information is with what the meteorologist say on the tv. Ex: we're supposed to have 30% chance snow showers for Friday according to what they're saying on tv and the app says 15%. It also just shows a cloudy day instead of snow. Which what they say on tv seems more accurate than the app. I don't keep the app around on m
32. [R26] 4/5 · US Not as accurate: The app is good but it's not as accurate as the actual channel 4, the app told me storms would be over at this time, which is like an hour before the actual storm is done, and the actual news on the TV was way more accurate. But otherwise. The app is very good and was somewhat reliable, and definitely calmed my nerves during storms.
33. [R81] 1/5 · US Not accurate: Lately every time I look at the app it is wrong. I now go to Twitter to get my weather from a different weather team.
34. [R53] 2/5 · US Help: I live in Westminster South Carolina I always keep getting alerts from the Tennessee Kentucky area. Wish it was easier to find a closer area to my location to reflect the weather in my area.
35. [R64] 1/5 · US It keeps moving my location 1000 miles away!: I’ve been getting notifications of rain nearby when there are no signs of rain in the forecast for my location. That’s because this app continues to set my location as Andover, Massachusetts, which is nowhere near where I am. I’ve never been there & I’ve never purposely searched for it. I’ve deleted Andover from my locations in the app but it keeps ap
36. [R110] 3/5 · US Weather: Like the app but it won't stay on my location so I gotta fix it every i look kinda annoying
37. [R16] 1/5 · US HATE THIS APP: This app used to be good but for some reason someone thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the daily and hourly lists and go to stories… HATE THAT!!! I come to the app for each thing… hourly and daily so I can plan my day. Don’t want a story just what I need! Deleting this app.
38. [R23] 3/5 · US Cluttered: I have to dig through a lot of unrelated news stories and skin cream ads to find what I need now.
39. [R36] 2/5 · US Needs work.: The page is way too busy- have to look around too much for what Want. Too many ads.
40. [R88] 1/5 · US Poor update: Updated app- now I only see headlines- no story. I wish they had left it as it was.
41. [R38] 3/5 · US Poor rain/ lightning alerts: I love WSMV weather but I keep getting rain/ lightning alerts when there is nothing on the radar and no clouds in the sky. Very frustrating!
