1. [R22] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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
2. [R50] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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!
3. [R45] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 2/5 · US Maybe I’m doing something wrong?: I wasn’t home when there was tornado threat in Cookeville. I opened First Alert and the video was 2 hours old. I didn’t help to know if there storm was near us or not.
4. [R70] First Alert 4 Weather 2/5 · US Slow: While this app provides for accurate weather & the people are great, the app itself is frustratingly slow. You click on the notification & it takes a while for the app to fire up. Then it has to show you a couple of commercials. Then it starts up the video of the weather report that may be recent or maybe 30 minutes old or older. In the mean time I could have clicked on 2 other weather apps
5. [R20] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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.
6. [R36] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 3/5 · US Ok, Needs Some Changes: I like this app, but I'd rather pay a few bucks to get it ad free. The ads are annoying and take up screen space. Also, the layout of the app looks a little jumbled. Seems like it could be visually more appealing and less haphazard.
7. [R82] First Alert 4 Weather 2/5 · US Buggy: Crashes randomly, radar won’t show up sometimes, videos don’t load half the time, ads on the videos sometimes make the phone crash. I don’t have these problems with any other weather app.
8. [R21] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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!
9. [R79] First Alert 4 Weather 2/5 · US No live stream?: Switched to the app since livestream from website no longer works on my phone, and they don’t list any requirements for it. There’s a tornado warning right now, and the latest video on the app is hours old. What’s the point?
10. [R100] First Alert 4 Weather 1/5 · US Glitchy at best: Used to love this app, radar feature hasn’t worked since I upgraded my iPhone. It will randomly show blue (snow) on the radar and it’s July.
11. [R1] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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
12. [R25] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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!
13. [R93] First Alert 4 Weather 3/5 · US Commercials?: I downloaded this app to be advised of severe weather threats in my location but when I go to view the video, I have to watch an advertisement first?! Kind of defeats the purpose of having an immediate alert and viewing details when I have to see ads first.
14. [R119] First Alert 4 Weather 1/5 · US TOO MANY ADS: There are so many ads that the app is almost worthless.
15. [R10] WSMV 4 FIRST ALERT Weather 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.
16. [R85] First Alert 4 Weather 1/5 · US What happened?: This use to be my go to weather app, it’s pretty much unusable after the latest update. The overlays are a disaster. I just want to be able to see the radar with overlapping warnings, not a bunch of indicators for lighting. They only clutter the radar. It’s a hot mess.
17. [R117] First Alert 4 Weather 1/5 · US Too many notifications but won’t go live during severe: I’ve turned off all notifications except severe, but it wakes me to tell me a nice day is ahead. Then, in the middle of tornado warnings, it won’t let me go live.
