User Reviews

Users praise WALB First Alert Weather for reliability, informativeness, and local 24/7 coverage with alerts, and many use it as their go-to app. However, recurring issues include location accuracy problems, slower maps and degraded performance after updates, and occasional overall inaccuracies. The app is valuable for many, but the location features and post-update performance are common pain points.

Push alerts for bad weather
Strong local coverage during storms

Cons

Location inaccuracies persist (wrong location, 'follow me' not reliable)
Performance issues after updates (maps slower, decreased usability)
Occasional overall inaccuracies (rarely accurate)

get rid of the ads when there is emergency weather.... connect the live video in the app like it is on Facebook not all of us have Facebook or use it. of course all of that applies strictly to emergency weather have a banner at the top for it but don't interrupt the feed for the ads or not let us watch for 60 seconds when there's tornado warnings and such that's all it is.
