User Reviews

Overall, users appreciate the basic weather data and some find forecasts accurate, and several reviews express positive sentiment toward the app. However, the most mentioned issues are heavy advertising that delays access to content and alerts, frequent radar/forecast inaccuracy or delays, and questionable reliability during severe weather events. A few users also report too many push notifications. In short, useful but often hindered by ads and inconsistent reliability during emergencies.
Pros
  • Provides daily and weekly weather information that users find valuable.
  • Some users report accurate forecasts and reliability for weather events.
  • Positive user sentiment is common (ratings like 'I love this App', 'Excellent!!!', or '5 star').
  • First Alert branding offers weather alerts and live updates for severe weather.
Cons
  • Ad-heavy experience with long pre-roll ads before videos and weather segments, causing delays and a poor user experience.
  • Radar/forecast accuracy and timeliness are frequently criticized; storms may not be shown or appear late.
  • Reliability during severe weather events is questioned; the app isn't consistently quick or dependable when danger is present.
  • Push notifications are too frequent and disruptive.

You guys need to find a new job. There are so many farmers and citizens around here that work outside and depending on the weather and y’all let them down every day. Lexi Walker might’ve screwed most the employees at channel 7, but at least she got the weather right. Now we have the Three Stooges that are the biggest morons ever.
