Video Location Wrong. I 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.

Weather updates. Thank you for constant updates on weather

First (Spam) Alerts. I’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.

Best for business!!!. I use this app daily to arrange my schedule for workdays depending on if I can work in or out and helps with preparing!!!

My fav. My favorite go-to for weather info. Updates frequently. Usually spot-on!

Just Awesome. 3 First Alert is just awesome. When I want news and weather for Ruth I immediately tune into channel 3. Great job and keep up the good work! John.

Good app but too many messages. It tells you the current weather and such, but they send SO many messages but reliable

Many Ads. This 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.

My map isn’t green anymore!. It’s black. I use the Satellite option because I’m not interested in the Dark and Light map options. I liked the green map. Perhaps add a Green map option. Everything else about the app I like.

No support to contact, not saving settings. I’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

Trouble opening. Just got a new iPhone 8+ with LOTS of memory and this app is not opening even at full tower signal strength . Please fix it !

Don’t need to know about those states. I 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.

WLBT First Alert Weather Team. No better weather team anywhere! Love their personalities even more than I appreciate their weather forecasts!

Complaint. You interrupted my nascar race when my area wasn’t anywhere near the storm please condense your interruptions

Quality/Performance is starting to suffer. App 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...

Very disappointed. This 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.

Current weather not on update. Since the newest update I’m no longer able to view the current weather forecast

The best. My parents always watched channel 3 news and weather so I’m carrying on the tradition. Y’all are truly THE BEST!!!! We always count on you for the weather.

Great weather. Enjoy your weather app. I have 4 different apps on my phone but yours I use most.

Weather. Always accurate and easy to navigate! 👍🏻😎

Best radar out there. I relocated to another state and still use this app for my choice of weather updates and radar !

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.

Don’t have time to watch it anymore! It’s useless. I 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.

Shouldn’t have left!. After moving out of the state I realized that WLBT 3 was the only news channel that gave me the best News ever. I have just moved back in town and I’m so glad to be able to get excellent news coverage from around the beautiful state of Mississippi.

Accurate. Keeps me on top of the weather

Wrong location. The 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?

Terrible. This 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!

Best App. By far, independent of the weather; this is the best designed app. That’s of all apps I’ve used. Absolutely Awesome!!! thommy

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

Bad weather. i love this app its so amazing its a little slow but its just my internet, the radar is ok, it could be better but its good enough, honestly just cut back on all the notifications please, but this app is so useful!

Thank God For This App. April 12, 2020 (The Easter Tornadoes) We received our alert in time to wake up our daughter, looker up some windows, and run to the opposite end of our Mobile Home..... In a matter of seconds our home was totally destroyed..... I thank God for this app because the end of the house that my daughter was sleeping on got ripped to shreds! If we hadn’t gotten the alert we wouldn’t have her here with us today and we probably would have been hurt badly..... Keep helping people be safe and prepared

Reports. Reports are timely and accurate.

Good app, but too many notifications.. The app works really well and is almost always up to date. However, it sends 2-3 notifications a day, even when no storms are predicted for the next 10 days. There needs to be an option for receiving only storm watch and storm warning notifications.

The pros and cons. One great pro about this app is that it is operated by the news themselves so I get the closest to correct as I can be. And one con about this app, it could be like a tiny thunderstorm, and it would send me like a dozen notifications, such as, “ lightning, strike 3 miles” or “thunderstorm warning until 4:45 pm in your area”. Those are the pros and cons

Very accurate weather forecasts!. Really pleased with weather alerts & accurate forecasts! Highly recommend this App to others!!! Really useful when making travel plans!

Weather. Can’t hear what they saying and they don’t give you enough time to read the weather report!

Ok so far. I have have used a number of weather apps to try to find a happy medium but so far I have more than two apps on my phone I have used this app before and a sister style from my local tv channel from when I lived in another state. So I am back to try the main app for raycom here is the test. We will see how it fairs.

Takes too long to load and inaccurate forecasts. Takes 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.

Excellent. I can zoom in or out on radar image and see the whole area. It’s convenient

New Update is Horrible. Severe 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

Please go back to original release!. Loved this app when it was first released. Best one by far. Then you updated and ruined it. No more addresses entered and radar is not nearly as good. Videos hardly ever play. It was so much better before!

Great news and weather team.. Great news and weather team.

This is the best way to be on top of the weather!!. Thanks for keeping us informed!!!

Pop up. Hate your pop up for ratings. Written 2 reviews already. If I did not like your app. I would not use it

Loving the latest update.. One of my most used apps and one of my oldest apps. I’ve used it across multiple platforms and it’s awesome every single time. The latest update to the radar is perfect. I had the same idea years ago, guess I should’ve sent it to you. (The expand option) Wish I could give you 8 or 9 stars.

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!!!

I love this app!. This app helped me know lots of things! When I first heard it, I thought it was not necessary. But then my mom told me the helpful things this app is, so I decided to get it. This app has been really helpful during these days (and yesterday) and I love this app!

First alert. Very accurate. Use the radar everyday

Absolutely the best!. I had three weather apps and this app FirstAlert is absolutely fantastic! Love it!

Forestry. Great app. I’m a forester and work outdoors for a living. I rely on accurate and updated forecasts. That’s why I chose this app. Thanks

First Alert Weather. Since update, I’m no longer able to receive the APP. Notice states I’m not authorized the APP in my location. Please correct ASAP. This is my do to APP for local weather.

Weather predictions and warnings. I wish you would not send out weather warnings for places not even near my location

Keeps saying unavailable in my area. I live in Yazoo county and it keeps saying not available in my area

Don't update if you haven't already. The app used to be very good. Now when opened it gives the wrong temperature right off the bat and is is more difficult to navigate. Hope they can get all the bugs out.

as slow as it gets. the app is updated but it is very slow and when the weather gets bad it never seems to work especially when i want to zoom in or out my area

Unavailable in my location. Was working fine this morning, now says unavailable at my location. Works fine on another device in the same room. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Love This App!. I use this app all the time to keep up with the weather! After I figured out how to set my home location as the default it got even better.

I. Love the app. Simple and easy. Radar is very good. I truly trust KFDX weather.

Thanks. Good Job Stay Cool!

Radar is never accurate. The ‘radar’ option needs to be removed since it’s never accurate

Only a two star. Hard to work your way around site!

“Thumber up!” - “Thunder” 😊. “Thumber Up! 👍🏼” - “Thunder” 😊

Weather Superstars. Best app and best weather cast in the region. They are on it!

FIRST ALERT WEATHER 😊. Thank you WLBT for the First Alert Weather APP !

Slow. Even with perfect cell reception it takes forever for the app to load up. Once loaded app does really well with weather info and layout.

SoSo..... I really liked this weather app at first, then every time you opened the app this huge advertisement popped up first and covered the entire page...every time. And every time you got out and went back to it, it had to open up again which caused the huge app to show up every single time. Very annoying. Already deleted. Too bad

Ben Crowley/ Ozark. Dependent on you guys. Matter of fact, we trust you with our lives and property.

Review. This is the best weather site that J have ever been on. The map details are amazing.

New update is terrible.. I’m having to delete what use to be my favorite weather app because of the new update.

App. Great app!

BEST app. Best App

The best. The best

Bad!. I’m trying to delete it. It’s been frozen for days and is wasting space on my phone.

Not happy. This app has not worked well in the last month—ever since the logo changed. It either won’t open or if it does, it is slow. It used to be so good.

Ugh. It doesn’t matter if I’m on WiFi or on my regular data this app takes so long to load it’s ridiculous, everything else I run is fine it’s only this one that is slow!!

Wrong location? Jackson, MS???. I keep getting alerts fir Jackson, MS. I’m in OH and I don’t have MS on any of my locations. About to delete the app bc I’m sick of getting notifications for the wrong area.

Terrible. Was using this app until it keeps saying not available for my location. Uninstalled and reinstalled... same thing. So.... deleted and finding another app for my local weather.

Horrible. Not a good app. This app is not reliable.

Why do I get alerts from places not near me. I like alerts but I want to be alerted mainly in my own location. Does it track where I am?

A huge improvement!. Compared to the old app with all its crashing and refusing to load, this app is a huge improvement! It's still a little slow but overall is much better. All the weather data is easy to access, and the addition of info for your current location is great!

No Longer Skeptical. This app was reviewed on our local news by our meteorologist! I was skeptical. I already had 5 weather apps on my phone and 3 other weather apps on my iPad. Why would I want another one? So, I downloaded this app just to see it. OMG, I love the interface! Intuitive and quick and NOT a bloated app like The Weather Channel app has become. Of special note is the map used for radar weather. No other weather app I've seen uses this type of map. Could be Google Maps - you can zoom in to your house! The weather radar is overlayed. Past and future weather. Summary: best UI, best maps, quick, efficient, now my go-to weather app!

They never get the weather right. They never get the weather right

Enjoy your weather app. Very informative. I I

It will get you by. Not very accurate on forecasting temps compared to national weather service.

WLBT 3. So far yall have been spot on & I do appreciate it.

Review.. Ya ll did Barbie wrong

Wind speed. Why is the app’s wind speed much lower than what is actually occurring? The app reads 5 mph when the actual speed is 15 mph.

Too many notifications not for my area. See above

Racist. This has to be the most racist new station ever !

They actually made it WORSE. The previous version of this app worked okay, but this latest version is simply unusable. The interface is a huge downgrade from its predecessor, with the worst color palette imaginable. The app opens on a questionable map graphic and the user has to dig through unlabeled menus just to find daily/hourly weather. It's ugly, not user-friendly and sloooooow. I wouldn't recommend downloading this app, unless it's being used to punish prisoners.

Getting wrong notices. My app is set correctly for northwest texas, but I have been storn warnings for West Virginia, no interest to me

Never remembers my location.. Why does it always switch to Andover Maine.

Dump Barbie and I dumped WLBT. If you want to cut the throat of a long time employee then I will part ways with you.

Great informative app. Does what it’s supposed to

Update is AWFUL..... I really like this app before the most recent update. It's great for the area I live in. The daily forecast and hourly forecast is probably the worst part about it. I love to be able to look at the forecast and tell what the weather would be like that day simply by looking at the picture ( sunshine or rain ). Not only that but there's not much of a general written overview of what to expect throughout the day.. Other than that with a new update I think being able to drop a pin on a location would be great. If something isn't fixed soon I will be looking for another app... I give app 3 out of 5 stars simply over update

Contacting app developers. Hi, I was unable to find a way to “contact developer “ and I have a question: do you have widgets for this app for iPhone users? Thanks in advance!

❤️❤️. Can’t start my day without you!!

Good app normally. This is a great app especially during severe weather. However this version has an issue with the radar. I can see clouds and storm tracks, but not radar data.

Underwhelming and annoying. Clickbaity. Constant clickbait banners teasing to get you to open the app. “Need an umbrella today? Open the app to find out.” Nothing special about the weather you can’t get about your area from any other app.
