User Reviews

Users broadly praise WKYT FirstAlert Weather for accurate local forecasts and a useful radar feature, with many calling it reliable and easy to use, even across devices. However, recurring issues include intrusive ads, radar/overlay changes that degraded usability (and earthquake overlay lacking location), frequent crashes, a flood of notifications, and occasional forecast mismatches with TV broadcasts. Overall, the app offers strong weather data and cross-device usefulness, but UX and reliability concerns are consistently cited.

Pros

Accurate and reliable local weather information
Useful radar feature
Generally strong, reliable weather app (widely praised as one of the best)
Cross-device reach (works on Roku and travels with you)
Clear and to-the-point forecasts

Cons

Ads are intrusive and frequent, with scareware-like messages
Radar/overlay changes degraded usability (preferences for old radar; earthquake overlay lacks location)
App crashes frequently or on launch
Too many notifications and loud alert sounds
Forecast data sometimes does not match TV forecast or feels outdated
