User Reviews

Users appreciate the First Alert 5 Weather App for its accurate and reliable local forecasts, timely weather warnings, and a clean interface focused solely on weather information. The radar zoom capability and smooth navigation also receive praise. However, recent updates have introduced intrusive video ads that disrupt usage, removed valued features like DuPoint, and caused notification and GPS location issues. Multiple users report app glitches and crashes. Despite these drawbacks, many rely on the app daily for accurate weather updates essential for outdoor activities.

This use to be a great app but after the update yo can no longer see what the DuPoint is so I will be deleting the app and getting my weather by some other means. Plus this app shares my personal information with 3rd party's so even if I could get the dupoint feature back I still would not use your app.
