User Reviews

KAKE First Alert Weather is praised for accurate forecasts and timely alerts, plus solid map/radar tools. However, users report radar usability problems after updates, pervasive ads with a pay-to-remove option, and frequent stability issues (slow launches, crashes). Some note inconsistent notifications and a confusing UI redesign. Overall, it’s strong when it works, but updates have reduced usability for a significant portion of users.

Pros

Accurate forecasts and timely alerts.
Helpful spoken alerts and reliable notification system.
Strong map and radar features with detailed viewing options.
Fast performance (low lag) on supported devices.

Cons

Radar quality and readability worsened by updates; radar remains often inaccurate or hard to interpret.
Intrusive ads and paywall to remove ads that obstruct content.
App stability issues after updates: slow to open, freezing, or not loading.
Notifications sometimes lack content or are inconsistent/unreliable.
UI/UX redesigns and layout changes making the app harder to use.

I love this app and have used it for years, it’s the most accurate weather app that I have found, but the recent update to the radar really irks me in ways that I cannot express in words. I wish they never did it.

After they did an update I do not like the radar. Not very clear on warnings. Tornado warnings are not shown and to many other trackers shown that doesn’t give you the option to take off without the watches and warnings being removed as well
