1. [R3] WBTV First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Traffic: The newest version is not as good as the one a few months ago. You use to be able to toggle and see traffic anywhere in NC. Now it only covers around Charlotte. Very disappointing. Especially for people who travel around areas other than Charlotte. Please go back to the old traffic maps!
2. [R12] WBTV First Alert Weather 3/5 · US Take my money!: This app is the most accurate if you want to know the weather forecast for Charlotte NC area, but I would gladly pay for a less cluttered ad-free experience.
3. [R90] 6abc Philadelphia 3/5 · US Not thrilled with Update for Weather: One of the hallmarks of 6ABC is the weather. And the old board for seeing the 7 day forecast was simple and easy to read. The new weather section is not as easy and the new “daily” forecast is horizontal and hard to read. Some of it is off the screen. Bring back the iconic 6ABC 7 day weather board.
4. [R76] 6abc Philadelphia 2/5 · US Multiple videos play at same time: I like the content, especially the weather, but recent updates have made this sound like I am walking into a crowded room. Please stop the Autoplay and fix the bugs so videos aren’t going on and on and on at the same time. Also, too many ads.
5. [R11] WBTV First Alert Weather 5/5 · US Weather: Thanks for constantly keeping me informed.
6. [R17] WBTV First Alert Weather 4/5 · US Weather forecast: I very much appreciate and enjoy this app having used it for several years now since it became available. Have always depended upon WBTV for most dependable and accurate news and forecast. One improvement I suggest is to have more frequent weather updates and forecast. As of late there’s too much time between updates. Thanks.
7. [R61] 6abc Philadelphia 1/5 · US FIX IT!!!!! STILL BROKEN: What is the problem that can’t be fixed with the app FREEZING UP? SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER. THE AP FREEZES EVERY TIME. CAN NOT USE THE APP WITHOUT IT LOCKING UP. FIX IT!!! Your competition doesn’t have an app that doesn’t freeze up.
8. [R93] 6abc Philadelphia 3/5 · US Glitching: App is great for news but can you fix the app so my phone does not start glitching and freezing? Other then that good app.
9. [R13] WBTV First Alert Weather 1/5 · US App crashing: I never used to have a problem with your app But now it never hardly works. It is always crashing and never displays the temperature or anything like that even when I’m changing locations and reinstall your app you need to fix your application. It used to work now. It does not work anymore.
10. [R29] WBTV First Alert Weather 5/5 · US App won’t load correctly: In the last month this app has been horrible! If you check the radar once, it won’t load again until you clear it out completely and restart it. It doesn’t load the radar future in a seamless manner, it is very slow and stutters. PLEASE FIX THE ISSUES
11. [R71] 6abc Philadelphia 5/5 · US WPVI: Your station has been glitching all day yesterday and again today. I’ve watched other stations and yours is the only station doing this. What is going on?
12. [R4] WBTV First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Severe Thunderstorms: My favorite is telling you there is a severe thunderstorm and to take cover but then make you watch ads before you can see the affected area. Good times.
13. [R16] WBTV First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Ads Galore: Ridiculous amount of ads on the app. Deleted immediately after downloading it.
14. [R70] 6abc Philadelphia 1/5 · US ADS: Too many ads
15. [R22] WBTV First Alert Weather 1/5 · US Weather App: For a long time, there has been a problem with the app. When you try to look at the daily, weekly, etc on the home page, it jumps to another page. I tried it on another person’s phone, & it did the same thing. I contacted someone at WBTV a long time ago, but it is still doing the same thing. I have been forced to use another app besides the WBTV app because of this. I really wish
16. [R49] WBTV First Alert Weather 2/5 · US Time to find another weather app.: This latest update/redesign is terrible. The main weather condition page has been turned into a seemingly endless scroll with ads in between every weather box. They’ve also put those clickbait ads that have ruined so many websites at the bottom of the sections. So when you scroll (and you will doing a lot of scrolling) you will be greeted with utter garbage t
17. [R92] 6abc Philadelphia 5/5 · US Terrible update! Please improve!!!: Lost full screen functionality. Please return without having the Blue Boarder!!! Stability is terrible. One second I’m watching weather the next I’m watching a commercial. You asked for feedback. I completed the form but I would not send…..seriously??? I expect better and you are better!
18. [R1] WBTV First Alert Weather 1/5 · US WBTV Weather application: This is a very disappointing app. It only gives me 10 seconds and then it locks up. However,I do use it for current radar information.
