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.

I have no idea how anyone would possibly be able to contact someone at 7 weather concerning the application severely malfunctioning. There are multiple warnings, and I CANNOT WATCH ANY VIDEOS ON THE APP!!! IT PLAYS ADS BACK TO BACK TO BACK!!!! This is unacceptable. How am I supposed to know what is going on? Much less who or how to contact someone to get this issue corrected. The fact that I had to investigate how to contact someone at KSWO due to the app HAVING ZERO ‘HELP’ OR ‘CONTACT US’ links! It needs to be fixed in a timely manner. Most people only have the app, so this kind of glitch is dangerous considering the type of weather conditions that are occurring. The app design is incredibly incompetent when one takes into consideration that there’s no way to contact anyone for assistance when something like this happens. This is serious. The fact that I have to jump through hoops for help is beyond unacceptable. Every single time I try to watch a video notification link, labeled ‘tornado warning’ but instead get back to back ads is absolutely insane.
