User Reviews

Users praise KWQC First Alert Weather for accurate, location-aware radar and fast loading, with some noting it’s more user-friendly than the built-in Apple Weather app and helpful for safety with timely alerts. However, reviews repeatedly complain about intrusive ads that disrupt viewing and alerts, radar glitches and disappearing data, a cluttered navigation experience, and audio/video issues such as no sound on weather videos or special weather statements. Some features like past/future radar views are missing or hard to use. Improvements in ad handling, UI clarity, and reliable audio would improve overall satisfaction.

Very glitchy and clunky. The screen is so filled up with junk it’s hard to see the forecast or the radar.

App is good but needs to add a Homescreen widget option.

Hate it - you can’t watch the past and future radar together anymore. Thats the only way to watch the radar together understand the path of a storm. Channel 8 didn’t screw up their radar map.
