User Reviews

The WNYT First Warning Weather app is praised for accurate forecasts, strong radar and storm-tracking, and a solid local-focused experience with useful alerts. Users also like its map features, ease of use, and value relative to paid apps. However, multiple reviews report stability problems (crashes and launch failures), bothersome autoplay/jumpy videos, missing dew point data in some versions, occasional mis-timed alerts, and a confusing path to report issues. Reliability during severe weather is the main drawback.

Pros

Accurate forecasts with reliable radar and storm-tracking.
Excellent radar/map features, including the ability to pan across the US and view current weather systems.
Strong local focus with useful severe weather alerts; radar views compare well to paid apps.
Clean, user-friendly design with color layouts and expandable data.
Free app with manageable ads and good overall value.

Cons

Frequent crashes and cases where the app won’t open or takes long to launch.
Auto-playing videos and jumpy playback that can consume data.
Dew point data missing for some users/versions.
Alerts sometimes inaccurate or not timely in relation to actual events.
Difficulty reporting problems (no obvious/accessible way to report issues on their site).

Recent reviews

Was working fine until a couple of weeks ago and now radar no longer works.

I have used this app for years and it worked well. Since May, I cannot delete an unused location on my iPhone. I tried deleting the app and re-adding it. Those same locations come along on the new addition. Please update the situation. Thanks.
