User Reviews

Users praise WKYT FirstAlert Weather for accurate forecasts and useful radar/hourly features and the ability to check weather anytime. However, multiple reviews note degraded usability after updates, with crashes and performance glitches. Ad-heavy experiences, intrusive ads before alerts, and unreliable or outdated radar data diminish trust. Notification reliability and limited on-demand video content add to frustration. Improvements needed: restore integrated radar view, keep forecasts current, reduce ads, stabilize the app, and ensure alert reliability.

Pros

Radar, hourly updates, and forecast features are strong.
Accurate current conditions and forecast.
Very useful for checking weather anytime and tracking storms.
Positive content and team reputation (trusted local station).

Cons

Heavy ads, including long pre-view ads and unrelated promotions.
Frequent crashes or glitches render the app unusable.
Radar data not up-to-date or accurate, with gaps in the 24-hour view.
Alerts/notifications are annoying or unreliable (too many alerts, missing alerts, or silent).
On-demand news/videos are outdated or not easily accessible.

I downloaded this thinking it would be better than the weather channel app. I was wrong. This app is WILDLY inaccurate. What’s the point of having a weather app that seldomly provides on point weather predictions? It even differs from what wkyt reports on the news. How does it go from 20% to 100% chance of rain in hours? Pretty frustrating. The weather notifications come late. I could be struck by lightning and about 5 mins later I’d get an alert that read “Lightning is in your area”.

This app is not accurate for this area I love the way it’s layed out better than most apps but it will be completely different than other apps. Cannot be trusted when trying to farm with the weather
