WAFB First Alert Weather for Negative User Reviews

The new update causes the app to crashSince the latest update the app doesn’t even open. When I click to open it closes out..Version: 4.8.401

:(Tried to look at during the storm last night, didn’t work, only had info from an hour before. Had no power, sirens blaring and had to call a friend so they could try. All they got was an add from this app while trying to look at the radar. Ps the radar wasn’t even current. Downloaded this due to how the weather is down here and needed a reliable source when power goes out. Wish it would of gave us live time feed..Version: 5.7.301

Late timingYou guys need to fix the timing on the notifications for lightning and rain. When it pops up lightning is located 4.6 miles away but starts flashing like its 4.6 feet away there is a problem..Version: 4.4.1307

New Update (5/9/19)The new update needs an update! I have to go into the help menu to figure out everything! But if I had to pick one thing that changes it would be to put the location dot back on the map!!! I HATE that this has been removed! I like that I didn’t have to zoom into street view to see how close the bad weather is to my exact location. I’m on the road making multiple stops for work and on bad weather days I am always using the app before I leave a location to see what I’m going to be driving into. Please fix this!.Version: 4.8.401

Too much of the picture!My biggest complaint is waiting for the app to load and having to look at the same picture routinely. Then if you decide to check something else after just logging out, you have to go thru the same thing again, even if only out for an instant. The other thing that drives me crazy is the infomercial they constantly do for it when you’re watching the darn weather on their newscast!.Version: 5.0.500

They make fun of other weather appsWhen I click on this app, I have to look at a picture of the channel 9 weather folks before I get the weather. Then I get to look around ads for the weather. A notification box comes up on the screen of my phone, but when I click on it I get to wait until something that looks like weather loads. Usually I’m unable to find out what the notification was because it’s a video that won’t load, not that I want to wait to see that any way. This station has a commercial that talks about the folks in Atlanta and how they don’t know our weather. But when I click on that app, the weather comes right up. I don’t have to look at the icons of the channel 9 weather crew. Imagine that. I’m very disappointed with this app..Version: 4.10.2707

Way too many ads can’t see contentIf you want to watch a 15 second weather update you have to watch 2.5 minutes of ads. No thanks instantly deleted their app.Version: 5.0.802

Too complicatedI've gone back to the older version. It has less complicated maneuvers to see the radar. This version is for someone really into the weather. I just want to see the radar and hurricane warnings. No thanks! And, please, stop telling me to upgrade.........Version: 3.7.600

FreezesLast update has caused major issues. Never had problems before.Version: 4.10.2402

Cool but not functionalThe "new look" is still functionally awful. Instead of seeing a map, forecast, current conditions, and perhaps a scrolling alert, along with a menu for less-used items, now you get just current conditions and headlines in this cooool rotating format. Yes, it's so cool. News flash, WAFB: I don't check the weather app for its coolness factor; I want to see what the weather is. The old app did that better. WBRZ still uses the functional template WAFB did previously, for now at least. You open it, and what you need is right there on the screen..Version: 3.9.801

IssueWon’t open at all after update..Version: 4.8.802

Good app but...This app is very good-pretty graphics and accurate radar. That is, it's good when it works. It crashes on start very often causing me to delete the app then redownload it. Get a more stable app and this is a 5 star review..Version: 3.8.401

NO WEATHER!!!Since the last update, I can’t get it to work!.Version: 4.10.2100

App not functioning properlyJust recently with the new updates the app seems to get stuck on the per launch page. Even when I reboot the phone it does not always resolve the issue. I’m hoping a new update will resolve the issue, because it is very frustrating. I’m currently running iOS 13.3 on my iPhone. Hoping this info helps developers..Version: 4.10.2100

OverlaysWhy are there so many colored sections on the map? It looks like an overlay but there is no way to turn them off..Version: 5.4.933

Add onI love this app, I would really love push notifications for severe weather or even daily weather..Version: 1.6

New update is horribleThis new update is TERRIBLE! I will be using a different app until this is resolved. This makes the radar 1) look majorly outdated, 2) difficult to see the precipitation because the watches and warnings are not transparent enough, and 3) look confusing because severe thunderstorm warnings are red and not yellow like TV and every other resource. It is a completely terrible update..Version: 4.8.401

Too much colorSo many color patches can’t even see the Hurricane needs an option to turn them off and on.Version: 5.6.510

Doesn’t openThe app is good ... when it works! About half the time it just locks on the front page with the weather people, then nothing happens and can’t move anything. So I have to go to WBRZ’s weather page. Too bad.🙁.Version: 4.6.2110

App Freezes Too Much 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎I can’t find my last review so that I can downgrade it. I am sick and tired of this formerly good app freezing on a regular basis. It has gotten to the point that I have also downloaded a rival station’s (WBRZ’s) weather app so that I can have a dependable, local weather app. I’m about at the point of deleting WAFB’s weather app freezes so much that has become trash. The only reason that I haven’t done so yet is that I keep hoping that the app will be updated to correct this malfunction. I am beginning to wonder if the person in charge of this is asleep at the wheel..Version: 4.10.2100

Great app but..lMost of the time it freezes and won’t open. We need a fix, please b.Version: 4.10.2100

It could have been goodThis app crashes my iPad but some people do not want to go through all that personalization entering where you live they just look at the weather for Baton Rouge it is way too invasive.Version: 4.4.602

App freezesApp is frequently freezing. Please fix this bug. Like the app. Hate the inconvenience of daily freezes..Version: 4.10.2100

Not workingThe app does not open half the time. Seems as if it is stuck or something and no way to move from pictured staff. Location is on. App is good when it will open. Deleted and redone but still does same thing..Version: 4.6.2110

Needs workThe app is good except it is in portrait view only. Needs to be able to rotate to landscape..Version: 4.4.602

Often “application not available in my location” recent weeks ?!?!After years of depending on this app and decades of depending on ch 9 now I repeatedly get a message application not available in my location. Wth Centreville, MS.Version: 5.0.500

Freezes too muchNeeds work to keep from freezing up..Version: 4.10.2100

You don't get itWAFB does not even see these reviews!!!!!!!!! They STILL show the weather team for way too many seconds!!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!! WAFB, to first gaze seconds upon the weather team ( as much as I think they do a good job) then an ad, THEN to get to the actual weather menu.....that is difficult at best........ Just doesn't get it!!!!!!!!!! I am sticking with Weatherbug for my typical, everyday news info. True that it is not geared to our area only, but at least I can get current info without the hassle WAFB puts you thru. No good local weather app.... Certainly not Shingleton's weather mess! Certainly are not updating the weather info. Might as well not even bother to look at this one, but I keep hoping!.Version: 4.4.1100

Not optimizedNot optimized for iPhone X, too many ads, outdated feeling design..Version: 4.6.1400

Support has a 404 messageClunky is not the wird. Something recently changed. I can no longer rewind or forward through a forecast video to see pertinent details, a critical thing during a forecast for active severe weather. If i try to rewind at all to see storm eta for my location, video starts over including the annoying 15-30 second ads i have already seen. If I’ve already watch the ad for the video i should be about to do a little relevant slowing and speeding. That your app support link goes to a 404 makes it clear you’re not thinking about your audience. Guess i’ll have to move on..Version: 5.4.933

Ad LoadedUse this app and you will have to wade thru crap ads first. Users likely want to know weather first. Tone it down!.Version: 4.5.1912

Need helpMy app since update days mot available in your area disappointed need this for when the storm hits.Version: 5.0.500

Quit pushing this app during the newsEvery day when watching the news on WAFB the two meteorologists push installing this app to get the "latest weather" updates. The app is a total joke. Each time there's an update you're forced to watch 30 second ads before you can see anything. Static ads are fine, although you'd think between online ads, broadcast ads, and revenue from cable services that an ad on a weather app would be superfluous, but the ads in this app are full screen and no way to exit out of them. This app is nothing more than a blatant money grab providing very little useful content that can't be obtained elsewhere faster and more accurately without the necessity to line the pockets of WAFB to watch a radar..Version: 4.4.1302

Hijacks Kindle widgetBest weather for my region, but it opens when I activate my Kindle widget. Annoying; I’ll delete it..Version: 5.0.500

Too many adsThe app is ok and gives some pretty good info. I also like the alerts but the freakin ads drive me nuts. There's an ad on each page which means I won't EVER upgrade the original WAFB app for news. I prefer not to be bombarded with useless information constantly! I plan to delete this app!.Version: 4.4.1307

Deleting app.Gives basic weather info WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT SUE TO ADDS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!!! Deleting this app and going with WBRZ CHANNEL 2 because of it So frustrating that you can’t see what you cans there for 80% of the time.Version: 4.6.2110
