First Alert 4 Weather App Reviews

WAYYY too many push notifications. If it’s going to rain anytime in the next 10 days, this app feels the need to send a push notification about it nearly 4 times a day, every day until the rain comes (or doesn’t). Why does the weather need to be this click-baity?? Just send notifications if the forecast has CHANGED. Please and thank you

Great Meteorologists. I have enjoyed watching KMOV weather people for many years and the current lineup of talented weather people are the best in the Saint Louis landscape of local tv broadcasting, and unless we move out of this market we’ll always tune into Channel Four news.

I love channel 4!!!!!. I’ve been watching channel 4 weather for a long time !!!!! I love all of the members on the 4Warn I Weather Team!!! I have to be honest Megan, Matt and Especially Kent🥰🥰🥰 Just kidding I love ❤️ everyone on Team!!! Keep up the great work😃

Consistency. I liked your app a lot because you kept having updated videos up to, and during, the storm. I keep checking back and you have no weather videos now. I stopped using the Fox News app because their videos were not updated and then KMOV stopped putting videos. These apps need to be consistent so you can rely on them. Otherwise they are useless.

Channel 4STL Weather App. Hi- I’m a new user of your app and DO feel safer! Wish I would’ve known about this weather notification app sooner 🥲. I've come to prefer the way your “Team 4” presents itself on TV as well as having great online services, you automatically announce weather alerts (before, during, after the events) and I have “re-discovered” Channel 4’s other content, and numerous “TV Antenna Channels” available. I’ve been watching your morning Channel 4 New more than my normal station. We all sometimes get stuck in a rut. Everyones' unique “morning rituals” to get families out the door to start our days. Or starting a new day at home. You have provided me with a fresher outlook in general. Thanks to every single person who works at Channel 4 😄👍🏼🕕👍🏼😃👍🏼. You’re all very appreciated !! * From a regular old Local Viewer 😊

Channel 4 Weather. Your team is the best! I love to watch the weather on channel 4; you have kept us informed to the minute!

Good local weather source. We come rely on KMOV for our weather. Their weather Team is informative, reliable, and enjoyable to watch.

A small ease of use change could make it even better than it already is!. I love the app, and use it constantly for severe weather. I enjoy the ability to have it alert me when there is bad weather. I can also change the alert settings to match where I’m living. The only “problem” I have with the app, is that during severe weather, I have to scroll down a ways to find the live stream. Which, is not a huge problem, but it would be a easier during times of “stress” for the live feed to pop up on the top of the page so folks don’t have to go searching for it. Other than that little change, I love the app and recommend it to everyone I know and meet! An amazingly helpful tool during rough weather.

Little difficult to find. I would suggest that you move the “Radar Room” to the top of the app. I had been missing it previously.

Best App of All Time!. I do outdoor construction and also snow removal. This is the absolute best app for St. Louis Weather. It has everything you need all wrapped up in one spot. The best part... Forecasts, Radars, etc. are always kept up to date. Keep up the great work KMOV. You have set the standard for a wonderful weather app. And thank you Steve Templeton. You doing amazing job, detailing a forecast, that us guys that work outside can appreciate.

Weather App. Very accurate and dependable. I’m a school Supt and I must have 24/7 weather access and reports. Ch 4 always is there. A plus all the way. Jim Greenwald Granite City Community Unit District 9. I always depend On News 4 Weather.

4 weather. Always right on. Anytime we hear about weather of any type we pull up weather 4 to check it out.

Dependable. All the weather people are likable, and they’ll say we really don’t know until we get closer to the weather event.

Commercials?. I downloaded this app to be advised of severe weather threats in my location but when I go to view the video, I have to watch an advertisement first?! Kind of defeats the purpose of having an immediate alert and viewing details when I have to see ads first.

Great weather app. Like the live radar part of this app. Also, u can tune into the broadcast when the when weather forecasters are in the " Storm Mode " during a severe storm alert. Plus it's easy to use. Finally u are able to "zero down" to the street level on the radar part of this app. Highly recommended downloading this weather app on your smartphone

Weather. Keep up the good work, I hope you guys will always be there for me to go look, and get a head start, because ware I live we don’t have a tornado siren. 🙏

Recommend Highly. I love that no matter where I travel I can count on my favorite hometown weather team to keep me informed. Hearing Steve Templeton’s voice giving an update on weather conditions near my location whether at home or beyond is very comforting. Thanks for keeping an eye on the sky everywhere!

terrific weather app. great for localized weather alerts or you can opt to receive alerts for the entire viewing area, plus it’s the KMOV 4Warn Team

Horrible radar refresh rate. When minutes count, don’t use this app. At 1:22 am the last refresh of the metro radar image was at 1:06 am. Even rebooting my phone did not help. They send out notices that are not important everyday. Total waste everyones time to read. There is no way to opt out of the useless notices. When I needed to stream the live weather with hail falling, I was shocked to find a rerun of the national news from the night before. Useless app!

First Alert reports. I like the idea & access to hourly forecast of temps & precip. potential, but only expected/wanted alerts for severe weather. Steve Templeton’s voice alert scared me the first time I heard it! IDK that it’s necessary several times per day. Thanks though!

Please keep this weather only app. I like that if I want weather not news I can use this app. I use it a lot because I work outside for a living and rely on it tremendously. Thanks

Switch over from Channel 2. Very happy that I did , it feels like everything is much better ! 💯👍🏻🇺🇸

Live stream is poor. A couple of weeks ago when the weather was really bad and there was a tornado warning in our area, we lost power. I went to my live stream, and the information streaming was about an hour and 40 minutes behind real time. It was of no help at all. Also, are used to be able to click on the weather video and it would come right up. Now there are commercials, and when it comes on, it stalls and skips back to the commercial. I have to hit the button one or two more times to get the actual weather forecast to play.

Good but needs better UI/UX. App moves fast and has all the night information action. That I would give 5 stars. But the 10 day weather section, you can’t see the blue temps against the grey/cloudy background (I’m sure it shows up on sunny days when the background might not have clouds but hard today it’s hard to see) The Weather Discussion image- not sure how often that is there since I just downloaded, but it should probably be at the top especially on a day like today with severe threats. Otherwise it loads fast, scrolls really well. Good job!!

Weather app. The weather app is old school in terms of design interface. It’s not user friendly if you want to get quick weather reports on alerts, forecasts, radar. Just clunky.

Weather forecast. Up to date. More often correct than other forecasts. Love it for my area. Great job.I find your weather very accurate. When it gets stormy I am on your weather channel. I’ll be moving to Effingham and I’ll be taking you with me.

Notifications. I allowed notifications so I would be warned if there was bad weather approaching. Then I heard Steve talking from my pocket just to tell me there was a new non emergency update. Steve is by far the BEST weather guy but I don't want to hear him multiple times a day. Maybe when there is a storm or ice approaching a shorter “heads up” voice notification.

Radar. I wish you had a radar screen that showed the entire country

Accurate. Accurately notes current conditions and makes quick updates as the weather changes.

Slow. Too many bugs and difficult to access on the go. Definitely not mobile friendly! I’m looking for a new app that can give me up to date weather and traffic on the go in one app and is local. I always watch the KOMV morning news, weather, and traffic before I head out the door. But this app is more trouble than it’s worth.

Still new. It’s just been a week or so that you switched your format over and if longer than that, then that tells you I am not a daily user. That being said, it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks when it comes to technology. I am sure after more use and getting better acquainted with this new App, it will be fine. I will say, def for now, I liked the visual clarity of the old overview weather map better, than this new overview map. AND the fact I have to pay for this new Ap was not stated until after I downloaded it. Do I need to pay additional to get the radar, too. Keeps popping up to download it and I haven’t because I don’t want to pay for it and if there isn’t a way to know till I download it, I am not going to try- 🥴

New Weather App. Thank you for upgrading this app!!! I use to rely on another source for my information, but this app is awesome and provides all the needed information I need to know before I go!

So much better than Weather Channel app. Love being able to get local weather even when out if town

Grade A-. I can count on the KMOV WEATHER App to give honest, clear information regarding today’s weather and that upcoming. The KMOV App is well laid out, easy to find specific info for my area and great radar images when storms are happening.

Videos not captioned. Respect the Deaf.. I am deaf and I like KMOV 4 news but at times I cannot watch the news due of my work hours. Instead, I watch the KMOV 4 Weather app. I would like to see some improvements in respecting the deaf community of St. Louis area by showing that your all of videos in the KMOV 4 Weather app to be more caption in the near future. Respect the Deaf!

Weather. Whether I just open the general app or stream it live, it is GREAT to have when our Directv goes down (when a cloud goes by), the power goes out or if I am on the road. Don't leave home without it!

Great App!. I absolutely love this new weather app. You have the most current update weather in real time. You can’t ask for more. I’m a devoted News 4 Fan! The weather team ROCKS! All of the News 4 team members are Great! Thank you! ⚡️💦☀️🌦

Channel 4 Weather is Great. We watch the channel 4 news and weather every morning. The group of people that broadcast together are an amazing combination. ALL of the weather people are great and their forecasts are very accurate. Keep up the good work!!

My go-to weather app. This is my favorite go-to weather app for the St. Louis area. I prefer it to any of the national ones. There is just the information I need in short summary of daily, hourly, radar or if you prefer more in depth there are many radar views and sky cams. Even can see the live stream during severe weather. Well done channel 4!

Reliable. I use this app every day, but I especially appreciate it during storm warnings when I stream live video while taking shelter in my basement. Excellent storm coverage!

Family Afar Forewarned. Thank you, KMOV! As a native St. Louisian, who has migrated to Los Angeles, it gives me great comfort to know your weather team is up to date and on the ball! I still have the majority of my family back in STL and thanks to KMOV phone alerts/app, I can stay atop of bad weather reports from afar. Many a tornado warning day I have spent texting my Mom as she was in her St. Charles basement surrounded by her critters. We could both view in real time, KMOVupdated radar and affected areas. A godsend, really! Thanks again for making STL tornado season more bearable from CA. -Laura Paige

Best STL Radar. If you’re in the St Louis region and need a weather radar quickly this is the app you need. With a choice of 9 regional views you can see how your neighborhood is impacted. If I had a knock it would be that they’re a little free and loose with their notifications. I want to know about warnings and severe storms but I don’t need to be alerted about partly cloudy and breezy. Just sayin’.

Weather alerts play in video. It’s horrible. If you’re at work and get a weather alert and click on it, it opens a video. I can skim an article at work, but not watch a video. I’m also a bit sensory averse and really dislike video. The information is great when I can get it, but the alerts are functionally inaccessible.

Best News Station and app ever!. This app is the best weather app ever! It is the only news station I watch every morning, evening, and before bed. Number 1 news station in the region. Definitely a 5 star rating. I love everything about the app, I am not disappointed with it at all or have 1 dislike about it! I highly recommend this app for the STL area and metro area! :-).

So Handy!. I love that the first page gives most-used options right there- no other searching for how to find forecasts or radar. And, of course, the accuracy is appreciated!

Local Radar. Love the instant weather radar. Up to the minute report of any precipitation in the area is why choose the app. Kmov is my actuate weather station. Above and beyond the other locals 🙂. Thanks kmov

Useful app. I've relied on the live broadcast before when we were sitting in the basement with no power during a storm. It's great to still be able to get updates. I also use the app to plan what I'm going to wear for the week.

Kent. I love to hear the weather from Kent in the morning special out in the country of Robertsville, Mo. Keep up the good work and may God blessed the whole crew in channel four for the wonderful job they are doing. Steve Hartnett

Review. It’s the only news, traffic and weather I watch. When I’m out of town to visit family in Michigan or Colorado, I’m totally lost on their news programs in just hunting through their programs to get what I need for the days. I have Channel 4 on every single morning while getting ready so I know what I’m in for while I’m driving to work, what the weather will be and generally what the overall news is. The folks at work tease me because I always know the weather report. I’m am a disaster crisis manager for a large firm here in St. Louis but has offices located all over the US so I feel the need to know what’s going on. You even let me know about weather disasters in other states. Oh my, when we have hurricanes, I’m all ears. Thank you so much for your up to date reporting not just while I get ready in the morning but your evening and nightly reports, which I also look forward to. If I can just stay awake at least for the weather with Steve. I’ve tried other local channels, just not impressed. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

First alert weather. I love the app because of how you keep us updated on whether and it could be that I’m making a trip from Saint Charles into St. Louis and it could be st. Louis is going to get hit hard with rain or some thing and I’m not where I live. Plus, it helps you to decide on which day of the week you’re going to do more traveling and makes good for when you want to make plans for outside.

Time Traveler. Radar could be better showing a little bit of time travel across the area

Love it!. So glad it is back. Please work on the news app.

Keeping us informed. Thanks so much for the app! The weather here is so unpredictable and changes rapidly! Your weather warnings keep me ahead of it!

Griffindoor1. I think this web site is very very informative and I depend on it for my family's safety.

Kmov News 4. There is nothing that we don’t like about news channel 4. Keep up the excellent work.

App not as good as it used to be. You guys are way behind on updating the latest forecast if you miss the news on the times it’s aired it’s not updated til several hours later this last one actually stops when Kent is in mid sentence used to love the app but not anymore

Weather. All the weather people are very knowledgeable and really enjoy when they do their weather classes in towns across the bi state area

Weather alerts. The instant weather alerts are very much appreciated. However, the actual site is sometimes difficult to navigate. Love the weather team: Steve, Megan, Kent, Kristin.

Update more than once a day...Please!. Forecast needs to be UPDATED HOURLY! Alerts are fine, but what good is a forecast that isn’t current?

Channel 4 weather. THE BEST local station to keep us posted on weather especially during severe weather times!

Weather. Best weather and weather forecast around. Best metro weather for illinois. Covers as Far East as Effingham

Annoying banner ads. Would be really good except for the banner ads on the radar maps. They cover the content and the map. There is currently a storm headed my way but i cant see anything on the map because of the ads.

Too many notifications. I turned off all minor updates And still get too many notifications. I had to delete it

Harold. Good app. To bad they support non- union for advertising. On that being said. I’ll probably get rid of the app. Because of that.

The best. So happy to see the weather app updated. I always depend on Ken Earhart for accurate up to date forecast. Love the detail in this app too. 👍🏻

Good app but has some unfriendly behavior. The app content is good but if you leave the app and come back it resets (shows the ad, good back to app Home Screen) do I can’t just go back to where I was. That’s really annoying.

Best Weather Team in our area!. Best weather team in St. Louis and surrounding area. I live in Marissa IL. And the weather team is # 1 down here. Thank You, Dave Seib of Marissa IL.

Immediate Info!. Found the information I needed to know immediately. Had what was happening now and more importantly to me was as the day progressed.

KMOV Weather App Review. Accurate, timely, easy to understand and Dependable! Best local weather app, period!

National weather coverage. Love getting weather details from a trusted source while in French Lick Indiana!

I love kmov channel4 weather app. Accurate weather at my fingers tips any time, any where! Thank you

Notifications. I would like only severe weather alerts but I still get an occasional alert for other weather conditions

App works well but they cannot forecast accurately. No problems with the app but if you want to know if it will rain tomorrow this isn’t weather team for you. One of the most unreliable weather forecast in metro St. Louis.

Channel 4 Weather app. I like it. Intend to use it when going to my basement if I ever get a tornado warning. But hope that scenario does not happen.

Accurate. I know I can see a forecast and know that it is accurate plus they are always updating and informing.

Weather. Very accurate

Great App!!. Use it always for local & regional weather updates.

All area forecast. Thank you for not forgetting "outlaying" areas and serving the whole viewing area keep up the good work !!

Great app!. Big fan of the app, reliable information, great updates! Could use a better radar though. Good work all around otherwise

Blurry image. Radar appears fuzzy not clear

KMOV. This Shires family from Elsah Illinois always watch KMOV for news & weather, we love the news & weather team people! S SHIRES

Love it!. I get all the information I need and then some. Also I don’t have to wait for the next weather report.

My weather. I love love love this app. It’s informative and keeps my family on guard for bad weather. Thank you News 4.

KMOV 4. Love the app because we are farmers and it is always nice to know what the weather will be when we are in the feild.

Steve Templeton. Love, Steve Templeton, and his forecast and all the crew he has with them they do an amazing job

Keeps me up to date!!. Love this app it keeps me well informed especially on weather! Thanks Channel 4 news team for all you do!

Channel 4 News & Weather. Channel 4 News and Weather is the BEST , I Love watching it Morning , Noon And Night 🥰😎🥰

Review. I love it! Every bit of info I need is easy to find, the site is easy to navigate, and I love the color scheme. Well done! PaulActs17

5 Star Forecaster. KMOV is our first choice for local weather forecasts and updates. They are timely, insightful, and professional.

Storms. I’m grateful for the most accurate weather forecast within the St. Louis area. Rely on it all the time.

Advertising is blocking the temp on radar map. The Google advertisement is blocking the temperature/location arrow icon on the bottom of the radar map.

Best yet for local weather. If you live in St. Louis, you gotta have KMOV weather app! Info is "real time," and app design makes it easy to find what you need easily.

Thank you. Thank you for all of your hard work keeping us informed.

Best radar. Love the accuracy of the radar and hourly details.

Low accuracy with app. This app is very unreliable. It predicts 90% severe weather and not a drop of rain or other severe issues. It changes dramatically hour to hour as if guessing or reacting. Last weekend, it predicted a small chance of rain and the city got hammered and timing was off by 2 hours. Not sure it is worth using.

Poor design. There is a problem with the ad insertion. The local video forecast always starts for a second or two and then goes to an ad and then back to playing the forecast. I also prefer the App design used by the CBS affiliate in Mobile AL. Channel 5.

Mr Dave. I love the 4 weather app it keeps me up to date on what’s coming today and beyond thank you!

Weather app. I hate it. I have to scroll and hunt for what I want. Nothing is where it’s supposed to be. I don’t know that I’ll keep this app, now.

Accurate and Timely. The forecast and radar are the most accurate and timely apps I use to make outdoor and gardening activity decisions. Thanks Kent!

Most Accurate Forecasts in St. Louis. St. Lou as I have continued to compare local forecasts with the actual weather St. Louis receives for many years is receives for many years
