To be or not to be..... What happened to the “Future” component of the map/radar? I used to have it available, and then it was gone. I love the app, but miss that part.

Notifications are too much. Overall, I liked this as a weather app but the notifications are ridiculous. If you’re phone isn’t on silent, the “lightning near you” alert doesn’t just chime, it yells “we’ve detected lightning near you”. After the second time it woke me up in the middle of the night, I just deleted the app.

Fair Weather App. My main issue with the weather app is that the radar doesn’t work when there’s an actual event happening. Doesn’t matter the phone, I’ve seen it on several. I’ll try opening it to see what’s going on and the precipitation blinks on the map. I end up closing it and checking another local station’s.

Alert overkill. The app is simple to use but there are some major irritating issues. If you can look past all the ad placements it is marginally usable. If you can get past how it slows the app down while your forced to waiting for whatever local businesses ad to load. But his biggest issue is the overwhelming amount of alerts you get from this app. Alerts are supposed to be for major things threatening things dangerous things. But not this app you get alerts when it’s sunny, you get alert every time someone changes a video, you get an alert about an alert. It’s horrible to the point that you just turn the alerts off which defeats the whole point of a weather alert app. If you need an app to try to trick people to watch you content and increase your viewership then you’re not doing something right in terms of your content production. Make the app useful for weather emergency alerts only

Informative and accurate. Specifically provides accurate and timely information for the Richmond and surrounding countries by meteorologists, we trusted through the years.👍

NBC 12 Weather App. Unlike a strictly computer driven forecast app using only the GFS model, the channel 12 meteorologists add changes to the forecast which shows up in the app. They use the Euro model in their forecast along with GFS which is good.

NNC 12 weather app. Commercials always play. Most times a prompt states unable to play requested video. So what good is it if video doesn’t play!

Never updates. Doesn’t update enough and if you step out for one second you have to redo the whole thing or start from the beginning the app doesn’t pick off where it left off

App stops working. I have deleted and reloaded this app several times in the last week because it stopped opening, very frustrating and am looking for another weather app to use🤨

Weather app. Not sure why the forecast videos have to be rushed in the app. Take a little more time and be more thorough. Wind, average temp, week ahead forecast, precipitation forecast, hourly for the day the post is made to the app. Too often a post is made and it is only a commercial length forecast for the day. Ok, start off with that for those who want to know only for today and they can close the app, but for those like me, keep going with all the details. The advertisements are too much, too.

Snails pace slow. Ever since the new update it takes 30 seconds and up to even come up and give any information. It was always fairly instantaneous before. Fix this soon or will be switching to another weather app and deleting this one.

NBC channel 12 weather.. Most accurate weather for this area around. Watched for 25 years.

Ch 12 weather. Have to search to locate 7da forecast, then not clearly labelled. E..G.: See Andrew talk about today, below are 2 boxes, one says I’m watching “this “, Then he starts talking in top box if you remember to turn on his mike, then below is , (so much jumping around needed)box talking about Sun weather, today is Thurs , why? Many times I give up , go to another app. Still haven’t found the rain for rest of day, nor 7da prediction

Covid. Since being outside is so crucial when with others, we are always checking the app to plan meetings.

Easy to track weather. It provides an accurate a picture of the weather, alerts me to storms, and helps me plan my day.

Adds. I like not having to see any adds that why I left the other weather channel

NBC12WEATHER. This app has been really helpful. It tells me everything I need to know about the weather! I use it when I get nervous with storms/weather. (And every morning) 🤣 It’s really helpful!

NBC 12 News. Wouldn’t watch any other channel. We have been watching channel 12 for 41 years! The personalities all seem to get along well, which makes it pleasurable to watch.

Good app but video drops. Great local weather app however I have one issue. The preceding ad always plays completely but the following weather video ends abruptly, cutting off the end of the report.

12 on your side. Channel 12 news they are the best the weather always accurate, and I wouldn’t choose any other give them 12 thumbs up

Weather Forecast. I REALLY appreciate being kept up to date on what to expect in my area instead of having storms come & im not prepared. I truly enjoy your weather alert system too b/c last time it came I only had moments to climb into my closet & I HEARD the roar on the other side of the wall opposite my closet! When the tornado doubled back I was able to get to my basement in time . God protected each time & the trees that fell were in the woods next to my yards. And I didn’t panic knowing what was going on. Thank U ALL! I live in Boomer, NC

It should have more Sunshine. I like the app but it seems to have much more rain than Han I care for. Especially on my days off. It also asks for feedback. What would really be more useful is if it asked for input. That way I’m not painting the fence in the rain.

Now with more ads!. Home page “Current Conditions” now gone and replaced with ads. Time to dump NBC 12 Weather and use other weather apps. I’m sooo disloyal!

Forecast. Great way to keep up with weather and usually pretty accurate!

Different perspective. This app serves my purposes well. When the chips are down, or flying around, they really come thru. Channel 12 has a very dedicated and knowledgeable weather staff. Two important items I always grab when they are doing a broadcast with turbulent weather or tornadoes are my iPad and iPhone and head for the vicinity of my shelter. They keep me informed with all I need to know. They work great as a team. Keep it up gang. Robert Williams

No good when it doesn’t work !. Only had app on my iPhone a week. Like to look at live radar before starting an outdoor thing - especially on rainy days. However every day it totally stops working for minutes - hours !! Just shows a clear picture- No radar !!!Sheepdog 1 sheepdog

Used to work. This used to be my go-to weather app until recently when I just can’t get the app to stay open. It will start up then go to my home page and I don’t know what’s up. It’s only this app but I’d love if it would be fixed soon!

Calera Nana. Thank you for showing us the ‘current weather’ conditions unlike other stations who show an hour or more of what ‘was’ not ‘now’. You also have available the continuous active radar which is so important during storm conditions.

“MapJoke”. I hate mapbox which is the new weather radar map !! It seriously zooms in to the roof, driveway whatever and then I have to zoom it out , very frustrating!! “I swear I can see Alaska from here” that’s how tight it zooms in . Please please go back to Google weather or something else . I also hate that they removed the daily submitted photos section , you can post , but for what the weather team to see but us . WTVR and WRIC work far more better than this joke of an app now !!

A trusted weather app. I look at several weather apps- But I trust the wwbt weather the most. I like there radar past and future option for knowing what’s in store the next few hours so I can plan on when it will start to stop raining. Very dependable! It’s my go to weather forecast. Because my business is very much weather related.

Best I've used so far. Anything else I've tried is incomplete and unreliable. This has everything, and is the best I've never ever seen. I am ditching weather bug, and will not use the regular iPhone weather anymore. Kudos to you guys for coming up with a great app.

Used to be very good. This app used to work great. Could watch progress of weather and monitor storms with ease. Now, however, whenever I open the app at my Mechanicsville, VA home, the app claims my location is somewhere in Ecuador, pops up with a post that it does not monitor the weather in my location, and shuts down without letting me try to change my location. The app is now useless. Very disappointed.

Notifications. I love this app, we’ve gotta farm so it’s important to have accurate information & radar. I like the notifications, especially for storms & lightening not to get caught out in the field.

This is my 1st stop of the day!. The weather decides so much each day. I depend on Andrew, Meagan & Jim to keep me in the know! Everything from what to wear to if I should mow my lawn today or tomorrow. They’re reliable, professional but relatable. I always appreciate Andrew throwing in a tidbit about how the days weather will affect your plants, animals, work, or recess or bus stop conditions for the kids. Thanks to all of you at channel 12 for helping me plan each day!! 😊☀️☔️☃️🍁

Like the app, hate the map. Used to love this app. The new map with the most recent update is HORRIBLE! The map is too busy in the background to see the streets, and since there no labels and you can’t see streets, it’s hard to accurately find your location. Please fix!!!!

Accuracy. This weather app is accurate. I really appreciate that especially when planning events. Thanks for all your work in keeping us safe!

App crashes lately. The app crashes when I try to enter an alternate location

Weather updates. So glad to get updates on my phone. Helps me plan my day and be prepared for what's coming.

Radar is wildly inaccurate. I’ve use this app for years and like the weather videos they post, as well as the functionality of the app. However, in recent times the radar is just wildly inaccurate. Completely different from other radar systems and just shockingly wrong. As an example, right now the NBC12 app is showing a huge storm cell over our head, yet outside, looking up, not a cloud in the sky, other radar systems are showing nothing in the vicinity within 100 miles. I just can’t rely on this app for radar as I need an accurate system for boating and other outdoor pursuits.

To many video ads. I understand the need for advertising revenue for a free app. The 5-10 second video ads pop up every 3rd or 4th news headline I click on is excessive. I typically read a couple of news stories and close the app after the first ad starts. These videos consume my data when I’m not on WiFi. There are so many other ways to advertise on your app without alienating your readers.

Working again. I would give this 5-stars, but my app gets hung up on the loading screen and won’t load. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting my iPad, to no avail. Not sure if it’s just a problem with me… hopefully someone will see this and see if there is a a bug.

Just wow.. I keep having to redownload the app because every week it does some really screwy stuff. Then when I put it back on it’s fine. I like to look at the radar then suddenly the radar won’t read the hurricane paths or it won’t notify me of dangerous lightning or anything. They’re falling apart over there at 12 and it’s obvious.

So unreliable. This app has always been incredibly glitchy, but lately it’s become pretty much unusable. Nine times out of ten I can’t get it to load, and even when I do, it randomly shuts down. I will try re-downloading to see if that helps, but this is really annoying. I stay current with software updates, so I I don’t think that’s it.

Ehhhh. It's good for the most part. Just wish there was a way to look at the barometric pressure and be able to tell what it was the previous few days. Because as a migraine sufferer it can help predict when some of us may get them.

The best weather site!. I check this site every morning! 👏😀

Sorry:. 7/6/20 Had to part ways. I gave you another chance. Too many ads. Slow loading. Doppler constantly freezing up. Each update taking up more real estate on my phone. Your app developers might want to check out CBS 6 app: light on ads, fast and responsive. Set multiple pinpoint locations. Notifications work well. Sorry 12, had to uninstall. I’ll be checking to see if my review stays. iPhone 6+

Sometimes OK. The app works great at times, but other times the app will not show live radar. Restarting the phone makes it work again. Also, there are always way too many ads to wait through.

Weather warnings. I like the warnings sent when stormy weather is close to me

My Radar map is having issues…. This app has worked great until recently. Whenever I open the radar screen, if there is precipitation in the area, it “flashes” the image instead of displaying it on the map. Have I done something unintentionally to the setup?

Good app. First Alert 12 is quite dependable for local temperatures, daily forecasts and radar. The greatest drawback is local weather broadcasts aren’t available. An upcoming storm will be featured but it’s ALWAYS! around DC and surrounding states...the ONLY place that seems to matter to First Alert 12!

App won’t open. Weather app won’t open after shutting down and reboot several times. Missing my weather!!

Accuracy needs work. I work in lawn care. I rely on accuracy. Last year the accuracy was horrible. I hope the information used to create forecast is better this year.

Frustrating. App freezes or won’t load frequently.. Frequently have to uninstall/re-install. Finding Dark Sky to be much better. I’ll watch NBC12 on TV and use another app.

Loading. Takes too long to load

Earthquake!!!. Love the app but let’s bring back the color coded earthquake overlay. The red, orange, and yellow bullseyes. The red circle with what looks like a pulse monitor shaded differently for time stamps of the earthquakes is a terrible idea.

Slower than traffic on 64 during rush hour!. Quick review 2 minutes before I delete app. Last thunderstorm warning took 10 minutes to load, and opened 5 minutes after the storm had moved out of the area. Accu-weather a much better option.

Ad’s. Don't like the advertisement ‘s

Needs an update. I used to think this was the best weather app, but it’s been terrible ever since I switched to the iPhone X. The screen looks small and it takes a long time to load. I’m hoping to see a major update sometime soon.

Great app. I love the app and good wx predictions. I only wish they offered more wind info like forecasted gusts.

Disappointed!. I’m done with this app the adds will load but not the weather What’s the point if you can’t view the weather.

Weather in Richmond Virginia. I live in Franklin WI. Keep getting alerts for Virginia.

Awesome App. I love this app. I have never had any problems with anything.

Annoying Ads. You have an ad (which can’t be removed) covering the home screen. When the app pulls up, the first thing I always check is the current temp. Right now, I can’t even see the current temp. I’m deleting and reloading, but if that doesn’t fix the problem, I will be deleting permanently.

Long ads for short videos.... I’m forced to watch these 30 sec. long ads for a video that’s a couple minutes or less. They are also played between each video. It’s very aggravating and I’m switching to CBS6.

Good information. I like the way the information is presented. It take too long to load though.

Weather reader. Lies sometimes but it’s ok

Frustrated. I am unable to open my 12 weather alert app which I rely on especially when I’m traveling.

Ross Runner. Please send our condolences to Ross on the passing of his father. My husband worked with Rocky Runner when he worked for Dominion. Sending prayers of strength and comfort. Nelson & Brenda Martin.

Radar loads incredibly slow. Radar loads incredibly slow

Map. I view the map it shows rain in my area By my street close up, even as the time goes by for mins possibly an hour and no rain or bad weather What’s y map for? Thanks Jack

Weather channel. I look at it everyday. I really appreciate you guys.

Weather. Excellent app

Bee. According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little.

A great app. The NBC 12 weather app is really great. Easy to use, I check it daily and the alerts are very helpful.

Frustrating!!. I used to rely on this app as I have neither internet or cable. Lately it is constantly freezing or just plain crashing! Virtually useless.....

Weather team. The best weather team anywhere!!!!

Not a great weather service. Weather prediction is inaccurate.

Suggestion. It would be very helpful if you would include anticipated wind speeds in your 10-day forecasts. Thanks.

Can someone help me delete this app.. I don’t want the app any longer. It comes on even in the middle of the night which is good for some people but what they are saying never applies to me. I can’t find a way to get rid of it.

Review. Wonderful talented weather forecasters!

Way too many ads. Cashes often

NO Advertisements please. I like the app, but I don't like the Advertisements, and it takes few seconds until open the app, but it's very accurate

Love the app!. I love this app but more importantly, I love the people doing the updates!! Very genuine, pretty accurate and just good people. Recommend this app!

Live weather option means now not the noon broadcast. Clicked on “live” broadcast. It’s a rebroadcast of the 12 news. It’s not NOW. Retitle that to something more accurate.

NBC12WEATHER. NBC12WEATHER has helped me when there are storms. I am scared of them. And it has been really helpful. Thanks! -Avery Oates

Great weather app. This app is great! It basically tells the weather. Now I know it’s gong to be cloudy today.

Radar glitchy. Some days it works fine then on some other days the radar starts flashing off and on and makes the app unusable.. please fix this developers

Robert Pillis. The weather reports are the best around. The news is the worst.

Must have. Best local weather app

My go to for weather. Always trust the forecast from you guys.

NBC weather. Always on time when I need it!

Fair. Good information but the app is frequently slow and wonky.

First Alert Weather. Too many ads that keep alerts delayed. Otherwise, we’ll done.

Needs work. Inaccurate most of the time

Video errors all the time. I love getting weather notifications, but the video forecasts don’t play. Incredibly frustrating.

Shows weather videos for incorrect location. This app sends alerts and shows videos for Virginia even though my location is set for Jacksonville.

Terrible. On days like today and the weather is bad you can guarantee this garbage app will have their logo and a blank screen! Use any other app or just stick your head out of the door.

Needs more improvement. Needs more improvement updates. Either that or it just doesn’t work with my iPhone 13.

WWBT-12. Love love, dependable policeable correct devise NEWS. Plus great Weathers persons giving reports. Love all local advertisements.

Newest update?. I’m disappointed that it’s not the latest weather update. Just tuned in and got this mornings forecast tonight! I thought I was promised the last newscast weather report. It’s 7:43 and the News was on at 6:00. What’s up?
