- [R4] WSFA First Alert Weather 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
- [R13] WSFA First Alert Weather 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.
- [R64] Storm Tracker° 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
- [R70] Storm Tracker° $$$$$$: The free version has ads that block everything. The paid version is too expensive for the typical person.
- [R6] WSFA First Alert Weather 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.!
- [R12] WSFA First Alert Weather Too much advertising: Too much useless info
- [R67] Storm Tracker° Ads everywhere: Very aggressive ads that make the free version even ridiculous to use. Go with Weather Channels app instead.
- [R81] Storm Tracker° Theres an Ad every time you open this app: Every time you check the temperature there like a 10 second Ad you HAVE to watch and can’t click out of. Otherwise it’s a good app.
- [R5] WSFA First Alert Weather Weather: I think WSFA has the best weather report and news!
- [R14] WSFA First Alert Weather Best Weather App: Best weather app for Troy. Sends accurate weather warnings. Technical support is very helpful and fast at responding if you ever have any issues. They truly care about the people in my area who depend on them.
- [R79] Storm Tracker° App does not work at this time. Do not purchase this app.: Do not buy this app, it is not working at all. It is currently not populating any current weather data or forecast data. Sent an email 30+ days ago and received no response from Impala Studios the developer. I have to assume at this time the developer is no longer supporting this weather app. It’s too bad it was once my favorite app.
- [R100] Storm Tracker° Don’t waste your money: I paid for the premium subscription and the app will not recognize my city. It always says no data available.
- [R16] WSFA First Alert Weather 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.
- [R61] Storm Tracker° False advertising: It was stating $4.99 a year but when you click on it then it changes to $4.99 a week
- [R106] Storm Tracker° No Support: My app started leaving red and purple pins in random places around the world. There is no way to remove them and ZERO customer support. When I pay money for a product I expect at least one person to work at the company that is taking my money.
- [R112] Storm Tracker° If I could give less than 1 rating, I seriously would.: I tried the App and realize that it was not for me so I cancelled the App but now I am seeing that you are still charging me $9.99 a month for one year. This is a total scam, why should I have to pay $120 for 1 year of service that I do not want and does absolutely nothing for me. You send out alert notifications for my location but when you
