WBTV First Alert Weather for Negative User Reviews
✓ Skip the ads when there is dangerous weatherI find the app SO frustrating. When advance warning is everything for safety in a severe weather situation, that there is first an ADVERTISEMENT and then just a radar WITH NO TRACK or TIMING doesn't give me much information (or confidence) in this app..Version: 5.2.302
✓ Emergency Notifications are really just adsMy issue is the emergency notifications. Twice now on separate days, I’ve received a tornado warning alert. I click on the link (as directed) and it shows a TINY map with an arrow pointing to the area. FOR 3 SECONDS OR LESS! Then it immediately goes to an ad! There’s not enough time to even focus on the map, much less know where the arrow is pointing! This is supposed to warn me of a potential deadly weather event, and I’ve got a split second to focus before I get a 20 second stream of ads? Really? Come on y’all, you can do better! This is unacceptable!.Version: 5.2.302
✓ UselessHaving ads in this app makes it useless. Surely WBTV doesn’t need to sell the ad space to cover the expense of main thing this app. I’ve always watched WBTV News but this “business decision” has got me to question their priorities. Very disappointed.Version: 5.4.933
✓ Really bad appUsed to be good. WBT needs to learn how to keep their hands off pf something that works. Do yourself a favor and get something else. At this moment I am riding the a thunderstorm and no clouds on radar. Permanent deletion. Y’all can go screw yourselves, don’t do it to me..Version: 5.10.500
✓ Tornado warning not picked upTornado 15 mins from my home was not picked up by this stupid weather app. My home security system alerted me and my family's other weather apps such as the weather channel notified everyone but me. This is life threatening news, so what good does this app do me to show me rain if it can't alert me to seek shelter??! UNINSTALLED!.Version: 4.4.1306
✓ Too many adsThe app’s effectiveness is diminished by the ads that appear before the features can be viewed. In an urgent weather situation, one does not want to wade through so many ads. Could the ads display with the requested page?.Version: 5.10.501
✓ Needs to be betterThe version before the current was probably the best it’s ever been. The version they have now you have so many things to choose from as far as alerts and you can’t figure out what’s what… in this version? You have so many overlays that just doesn’t need to be there…. Really all we need to see is current and future radar. Half the time the radar won’t even show up because it just won’t load so you have to go out of it and go back in just to see if it works. Sometimes when you open the app and go to the radar all you see, is the directional paths, but not the images of the storms. This app definitely needs some work done so people will be happy..Version: 5.10.501
✓ Radar is wrongThis app is just all kinds of wrong about the weather it was better back in the day when they just guessed and now they still can’t get any closer than 45% this is pathetic.Version: 5.3.901
✓ Incorrect RadarSince the new radar format, it can be pouring rain in my area and radar shows absolutely nothing. I get alerts that there is heavy rain in the area, or lightning detected but again, radar shows nothing. Looking for a new weather app that is accurate..Version: 4.10.500
✓ This app is uselessAds continuously play, causing me to be unable to get any other Information about dangerous weather. If a dangerous storm were to roll through I would not be (and haven't, in the past) be able to stay abreast of the information. This makes this app literally useless and totally unusable..Version: 5.0.400
✓ Ridiculous ad placement is dangerous!A notification pops on your phone- tornado warning issued! You click for more information to find out WHERE across two states might be needing to take shelter. Instead of an answer, you get a 15-20second ad before you can see where the warning is! Then the maps and radar are out of date. Absolutely defeats purpose of emergency alert..Version: 5.0.400
✓ Ads make it hard to use during a weather emergencyDuring last tornado warnings when I was trying to get in a safe place I had to fight with ads to find out what was going on. At this point the ads are so encompassing they’ve rendered the video portion unusable but we do look at the hourly/daily and radar part of the app..Version: 5.3.901
✓ NotificationsI only signed up for severe weather alerts. However I get morning afternoon and evening notifications giving general weather information. Why? That’s not a severe weather alert. I get woken up at 1030 at night for that?.Version: 5.4.933
✓ App won’t load correctlyIn 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.Version: 5.10.501
✓ UselessWhen you send me a “weather alert” and then make me wait for a commercial to play, I know it is not really an alert. I’ll get my alerts from people who don’t feel the need to sell me something..Version: 4.10.500
✓ Map out of dateThe satellite map is 8 years out of date and some major cities are missing..Version: 4.10.1601
✓ App has grown progressly worse with each update..... you need to ditch your present IT PROVIDERThis app now has a dark (black) background which make viewing difficult and the general app atmosphere dismal.... Six months ago this was my weather app of choice.... now it is my last resort only.....Version: 4.8.900
✓ Weather app reviewThere are too many advertisements in the app, too many notifications sent out daily and too many references to use the app on the newscast. We know about it, we can choose to use it but shouldn’t have to in order to be weather aware..Version: 5.2.302
✓ That was a waste of 5 minutesUnfortunately I downloaded before reading reviews. Like others mentioned you have to watch an ad before getting the alert. Chintzy and below the belt for what i consider as the best weather team in CLT. I’ve already deleted this waste of time. I guess I should have expected 💩 from a Penguins fan..Version: 5.0.400
✓ AdsWay TOO many advertisements!! Especially when there is a special weather alert. Example: Tornado Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm warnings. Why would have ads when there is life threatening warnings?.Version: 5.2.302
✓ Ads and sound issuesClicking on the app’s Notification “Tornado Warning Issued - Click For Details” took me to an Advertisement! That’s some pretty screwed up priorities. Worse, while the ad’s sound was very loud, there was no sound on the video about the Tornado Warning. In general, the app generates too many unimportant Notifications every day. Stick to problems, like Tornado Warnings..Version: 5.2.302
✓ Alerts Audible InconsistentI have all the settings on and the notification comes to screen but no sound or every other time. Lucky I’ve caught it pop up each time. Also the video cuts off before anchor is done so I wind up going to check weather elsewhere. 👎🏻.Version: 4.6.2111
✓ What happened?!I hate that they took off the past and future options on the radar which was really helpful. This app has also become very slow within the last couple months probably do to so many ads on the screen 😕.Version: 4.6.1200
✓ Video advertisements too longNot a fan of having to watch an advertisement before a weather alert, especially when it is a severe storm warning or watch..Version: 5.2.302
