User Reviews

KEYC First Alert Weather app is praised for its accurate local forecasts, ease of use, detailed radar with minute-by-minute updates, and connection to a trusted local TV station. However, multiple users report recent updates causing freezing and crashes, missing dew point data, unreliable location detection, frequent widget failures, and dissatisfaction with layout changes and ad placements. Overall, the app is valued for its local accuracy and features but hampered by stability and usability issues after updates.

Pros

Accurate and reliable local weather forecasts, especially useful for the Mankato region.
Easy to use and navigate with a clear layout and minimal ads.
Provides detailed radar maps with minute-by-minute updates.
Offers multiple saved locations for quick access when traveling or monitoring other areas.
Developed by a trusted local TV station, adding credibility and community connection.

Cons

The app frequently freezes or crashes after recent updates, making it unusable at times.
Dew point information was removed in updates, which users found valuable and want restored.
Follow me/location detection features often fail, requiring manual entry of locations.
Widgets often fail to load or remain blank, reducing usefulness for quick glance information.
New layout changes and ad placements have been criticized for clutter and preference for previous design.
