First Alert Weather for Negative User Reviews

✓ New Update is HorribleSevere Thunderstorm warning and watch overlays in the radar are no longer the traditional yellow color. They are red and look like Tornado warnings. Also warning/watch overlays are not nearly as transparent as in the previous version which makes it much harder to actually see the weather. I used this app mostly for the radar but will no longer use it with this new update.Good37839392020Version: 4.8.401

✓ Many AdsThis may be a good weather app but it has so many larger ads that I can’t tell. This app is not about providing weather. It’s about selling ads and they sell many. They never mention the ads while pushing it on TV. There are many apps to get local weather without all the ads..OldSheep44Version: 5.2.302

✓ Video Location WrongI have a few different cities set but the videos that are linked are all for Mississippi which is none of the cities I have saved..SianamvdfbjdVersion: 5.0.400

✓ Don’t have time to watch it anymore! It’s uselessI used to rely heavily on this application for a quick 60 seconds overview of the weather forecast, but recently they’ve added commercials that are LONGER than the 60 seconds weather forecast. I simply don’t have time to sit thru the commercials to get to a 60 seconds weather summary. The application is of no use to me anymore. Last Saturday, a horrendous storm passed through our area. I got a notification for an update on the first alert app. I opened the alert and there’s a freakin’ commercial…BEFORE we can see what the heck was happening outside! Keep in mind that we’d lost power, so we were relying on the app and Facebook updates 🤦🏾‍♀️. WLBT simply cannot need revenue bad enough to throw commercials on a 60 seconds weather update..Nickname 1 Nickname 2Version: 5.10.500

✓ Very disappointedThis app is pretty much useless. Don’t think your going to use this app for weather information when your tv goes out. It crashes half the time and the other half you get a message saying this application isn’t available in your area. Even though it used to work in my area..DlmayVersion: 4.10.2700

✓ Hard to read and ver disappointed.I use this app several times a day, more if weather is bad. The hourly and daily forecast now being black and white plus the layout makes it too difficult to read. I hate the radar image also. I used to be able to see the county outlines but can’t now. I guess this was an update but please either change this back or redesign. May have to start using the “weather “ app which I’ve never used as much as this one. So disappointed..Debbies iphoneVersion: 4.8.401

✓ Quality/Performance is starting to sufferApp used to perform much better; in your attempt to improve and and capabilities your performance is starting to suffer; don't try to excuse this as a network congestion/bandwidth issue; your app is getting bloatwd and performance is suffering; you can't do or be everything to everyone; please focus on providing a high-performing experience with hourly, daily, and radar capabilities; If users want video or marketing clips don't bog down your app because of that....5lb_BassVersion: 5.2.302

✓ Never correct with forecast !!!!This is the worst weather app EVER . It very rarely is correct. They put whatever and then it constantly changes. I guess we all should have been weather reporters , you can just say whatever you want and rarely be right , still have a job and still get paid. Would not recommend this app to anyone unless it’s for a joke.SusanemlVersion: 5.10.500

✓ No support to contact, not saving settingsI’m having to change the location back constantly to my location, and the app is no longer saving my settings. The support link in the App Store for the page is a 404 as well.DrShimoVersion: 5.4.932

✓ Wrong locationThe main headline is always some place else. You would think the app would put the headline in relation to the zine of the user. Not saying the exact location but things that have some effect. Example: Fred is going into Florida and heading North. This will have no effect on East Texas. So why is it the head line?.SlikpupVersion: 5.3.802

✓ First (Spam) AlertsI’m fed up with receiving multiple push msgs each day. Until I deleted the app I could count on 2-5 click-bait First (Spam) Alert msgs ‘The forecast has changed, get the latest now!’ as tho pending doom is looming between now and the last three updates. Only reason I had the app was for extreme severe weather (tornado) alerts. I’d rather take my chances on my own..SaintsFan39564Version: 5.4.932

✓ TerribleThis app used to be great and very accurate. The new radar is terrible, slow, and inaccurate because it’s so slow. Thunderstorms used to be yellow. Now all alerts are red which makes seeing thunderstorm vs tornado warning difficult. Bring back the old radar view!.Jnohra81Version: 4.8.401

✓ This app WAS okay but.....The radar was nice with the full screen option. Now it freezes up constantly as does the whole app. I have uninstalled it a couple of times then reinstalled it and it is still SLOW and freezes up. I might try it again in a few months. In this day and age there has to be a better option. Now the app looses the location which makes me have to restart my phone only to have it looses the location the next time I open the app. WAY TOO FRUSTRATING!!!.Hydrobass 1700Version: 4.10.2700

✓ Current weather not on updateSince the newest update I’m no longer able to view the current weather forecast.Megn 9Version: 4.6.1400

✓ Please read !The app is good however i’m giving 3 stars because this new update is wack. Almost the whole map is covered in a rainbow of warnings and I can’t even see the weather through it. I feel like you should just make it the state of whatever location you put so the whole map isn’t covered in it. Or make it a option to be able to turn on and off. But other than that i love the app..Super duper star 1234 😍😍😍Version: 5.7.300

✓ Don’t need to know about those statesI have my app in my town in Oklahoma and that works just fine but all of the videos that keep popping up are about Mississippi and Louisiana. Why would I be interested in those two states on a minute by minute status? It’s ridiculous..Okthis is sillyVersion: 5.4.932

✓ Takes too long to load and inaccurate forecastsTakes too long to get past the loading screen. Do we really have to stare at the Watkins ad on the launch screen for 30 seconds? When I need to use the app I'm in a hurry and need weather info ASAP. The delay in loading is really annoying! I love WLBT but the weather forecasts on this app have cost me money for the last time. I can’t plan my activities based on inaccurate forecasts. Looked at the app Friday night and it said 40-50% chance of rain Saturday morning. Woke up Saturday to sun beating down and not a drop of rain..ThatsMR2uVersion: 5.4.932
