First Alert Weather App Reviews

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Accurate. Keeps me on top of the weather

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

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!

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

Coveage is okay, but the ads are absolutely mind numbing. I’m in the app trying to watch the coverage videos and I get met with a 30 second long ad. Although it’s understandable, you cannot click or close out for a second without it glitching the entire app.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!!

5 out of 5. The app is so accurate and I love that it like never glitches like most weather apps. And that they have videos from the news weather report.

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.

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.

Reports. Reports are timely and accurate.

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

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

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!!!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

First alert. Very accurate. Use the radar everyday

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

My go to weather app. Love the app abs wlbt but here lately the hourly forecast isn’t matching what the radar shows.

Weather updates. Thank you for constant updates on weather

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!

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

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.

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

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

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...

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

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.

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.

Enjoy your weather app. Very informative. I I

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

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

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

Great informative app. Does what it’s supposed to

Target blk people for Muslims. Pray y'all die Jealous Muslims targeting my family for marital status and religion

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

Radar overlay. Hard to see the rain with the overlays. I have to go to other apps to see where rain or fronts are. Do not waste your time with this app.

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.

Thanks. Good Job Stay Cool!

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.

App. Great app!

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

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.

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 !

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

First Alert. Best news reliable excellent newscasts !!

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?

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

Review.. Ya ll did Barbie wrong

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

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.

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

Marvin. Marvin Bishop

The best. The best

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!

News. Yall are the best!

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

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

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

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.

App. Just have to get user friendly

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

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

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

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

Idk. Very 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!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Too many notifications not for my area. See above
