## Review summary

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 Ad-heavy experiences, intrusive ads before alerts, and unreliable or outdated radar data diminish trust.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- On-demand news/videos are outdated or not easily accessible.
