WIS News 10 FirstAlert Weather for Negative User Reviews

Great app if you are looking for carpets, not do good if you want to know the weather.99% advertisements, 1% information. The worst source for weather updates you could rely on. Plus, get ready to be awakened at 6 am to be told it’s is going to be a nice day..Version: 4.10.2700

Too many notificationsI’ve enjoyed this app for many years, but the notifications have gotten out of control. It would appear that they’ve included a lot of control over what types of notifications you receive, but they started sending notifications that don’t fit into any of the categories that users are able to toggle off. For example, would “Prepare for warmer weather” fall under the “typhoon” category? There is no category for alerts of uneventful weather, so those alerts that are the most useless and annoying cannot be turned off unless you disable notifications altogether. If that one issue is fixed, I could change my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars..Version: 5.4.932

What is a "News Station Alert"?We download the app to our phones and iPads. The purpose was to check the weather. We also got it for weather alerts, for example tornado warnings, hurricane tracking, flooding, severe thunder storms, and (every so often) snow. Over the last year, the push alerts have become ridiculous! Merriam-Webster defines "alert" as being "watchful and prompt to meet danger or emergency." Today's weather alert was "Traveling to NC or GA? Von has your forecast." What!?! This is what I open the app to learn. I do not want my phones an iPad having push notices stating "A News Station Alert has arrived" to tell me that it will be sunny or drizzling or that - shocker - it will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Stop sending these type of alerts! It has become a joke in our house! An alert arrives and, instead of thinking it's a severe storm or tornado, we joke that it's an alert to the wonderful weather! This completely defeats the purpose and effectiveness of an ALERT!! The upsides of the app: layered radar, decent forecasting, and local weather when you travel out of state..Version: 4.5.1800

Ads before important alertsI hated getting a breaking weather alert and then being forced to watch a 15 sec video ad before I could see the weather information. I can understand seeing video ads during normal viewing but not with a breaking weather alert. Hey a tornado is bearing down on your location but first let’s look at some carpet. I deleted the app from my device..Version: 4.5.1800

Slow to updateThey are extremely slow to update. Not good for forcast.Version: 5.12.701

Quit workingI’ve had this app on my iPad for years and it suddenly says it’s not available for my Area. Yet I can get it on my iPhone. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it. I’ve shut my iPad down and restarted it. Nothing works. I’m very disappointed..Version: 5.0.501

Notifications and “ALERTS” have become ridiculousWhile the forecasts are useful and the actual navigation of the app is simple, the notifications I get throughout the day are merely click bait. Like one of the other reviewers, this app has become a joke in our household. For instance today, in the a.m. I received “cool start but warming up” but this afternoon I received “mild now but a cool down is coming.” Really?! You mean that during the day it’s going to warm up and then get cooler in the evening? Wow! That’s most every normal day! Also, alerts consist of “Alert: showers today!” Alerts should be urgent, warning of severe weather like storms, tornadoes, snow, ice, etc. the app didn’t even send out a recent tornado warning until a full 5 minutes after the National Weather Service had sent one via my phone’s emergency response system. Please improve your daily notifications and make prompt Alerts for truly urgent announcements..Version: 4.7.803

Almost spamIt used to be good, only sending severe alerts. Now it sends things like “possible rain this weekend” on Monday and “warmer weather coming. “ We don’t need to be constantly interrupted by things like this. And there is no way to turn these notifications off..Version: 5.4.932

It’s ok?This is a nice app & I use to like it. If there are “Weather Alerts” I’d like to see them without ads. It’s obviously not too much of an lAlert” if there’s a commercial going on before there alert is aired..? I’ve found another local weather app that’s more appealing to my my liking so I’ll stick to that..Version: 4.10.2700

Too many unnecessary alerts!!The app itself is a decent app. The issue is all the alerts that don’t warrant an alert. Especially at 4:30 to 7:30 am just to tell me it’s going to rain the weekend, or it’s going to be hot in the summer, or it’s going to be cold in the winter. This is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. Has anyone there ever heard the saying if you cry wolf enough times, no one will believe you? And I personally don’t think there should be anything political, including advertisements about impeachment of our President or any other politician. This has nothing to do with the weather. I am deleting the app, and will no longer watch anything on WIS or NBC. I invested about 45 years to your station/network, but have had enough of the one sided reporting that goes on, and all the unnecessary weather alerts. Hope Management is listening and happy they are running their watchers/listeners away..Version: 4.7.803

Too many pop up adsAlways popping, always!.Version: 5.2.500

WeatherSeems like the radar isn’t accurate.Version: 5.6.500

StormsNeed radar pictures what directions are alerts coming from???.Version: 5.10.400

Ok app but age rating way offApp does ok, semi accurate forecast, but can be buggy sometimes. But the rating for ages 4+ is highly inaccurate. Some the the ads in the app showing clothing ads of scantily clothed women and tshirts making reference to “licking, sucking, and swallowing”, the tshirt is intended as a gag, but certainly not appropriate for younger individuals..Version: 5.12.701

Radar glitchesRadar has issues. Used to work great but not lately. Takes time to load and flashes on and off. Keep looking for updates to fix this issue.Version: 5.10.500

UnreliableI downloaded this to get alerts and weather updates especially through the night but it’s so unreliable. I rarely get notifications although they are turned on and the forecast are very very wrong. Even throughout the day the weather is off pretty bad. It only changes when the weather changes. It’s never anything we can rely on to plan for outings. Don’t waste your time. Find another weather app..Version: 5.6.500

Crashes and GlitchesI have used this app for several years and no problems. This new update is useless for me. It crashes all the time. I'm running iOS 9.35. I wish I had never updated. Please fix. Thanks for your attention to this problem..Version: 4.5.1800

App Failing & Constantly CrashingThe week of 15 Dec 19, I had to delete and reload the app because it got stuck at the Rush’s advertisement. This week, 22 Dec 19, the app would ask to change location before opening and now today, 25 Dec 19, it won’t open again. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m deleting it and moving on to another app..Version: 4.10.2100

Weather we liveWe live in a place where people are 65 or much much older; not traveling much. Your specific detail about location of light, sunrise & sunset are the precise information that we, living here, appreciate very much..Version: 5.3.901

Alerts are mostly for advertising cash in their pocketWay to many alerts diminish the value of critical ones. These guys are putting out alerts now about things of virtually no value so advertisers can get more hits. I will be looking for others who care more about public safety than cash in their pockets. There appears to be no method of filtering useless alerts out on the settings page. I will further now make it a point to not shop at or use any of their advertisers.Version: 4.6.1400

Seldom correlated with WISTV weather reportWhat’s reported on TV is seldom on the app. Today, app said 20% chance of rain, immediately it poured for an hour. I am deleting it and trying another local station..Version: 4.8.900

90% of this app is advertisingWay too many “fake” Alerts. This app should be on CNN. This is one of the most cluttered apps I’ve ever used. As a local weather app it should be more reliable and useful which it’s not. The ads are useless because there’s so cluttered and so many of them..Version: 5.4.932

WrongThey never get the weather right. I had a roof replacement and was told no rain for the weekend and after shingles were removed and it started raining the whole weekend my ceiling was damaged because of it. Thanks so much for your future cast.Version: 5.2.302

Confusing forecasts....By the weather emojis posted for daily's, you never know what the weather will be. Whether 30% or 100% chance of rain the daily graphics are the same.......Version: 5.3.901

Great App, But Ads are a painThe information that is provided in the app as well as the functionality of it is awesome! However, it does get very frustrating when I’m trying to get the latest updates about hurricanes and serious weather that I have to watch one and sometimes two ads to even get to the meteorologists video. I respect the need for advertising however, I don’t think it should be on those kind of videos..Version: 4.10.500

Horrible LoadingLoading the weather radar sometimes takes for ever. You have to close and re-open the app a bunch..Version: 5.10.500

No goodThe radar works decently when it loads up. But the daily forecasts are horrible. It will show 0 percent chance of rain and sunny but when you click on it it shows 40 percent chance of rain and cloudy..... it’s almost like one of them has to be right so just put both up there. The hourly forecast changes hour to hour to reflect what’s happening at that moment. I can do the same thing by looking outside.... it’s useless as a forecasting app. It’s great if you don’t feel like looking out a window to see what it’s doing outside at that moment though. Lol..Version: 4.10.2700
