User Reviews

Reviewers broadly criticize the First Alert 4 app for excessive, intrusive ads and autoplaying videos that play with sound, often before even accessing content. The update appears to worsen navigation, with a cluttered layout, unreadable headlines, and a lack of swipe between articles. Users report alerts not working or not clearing, and some are unhappy with unstable features such as video playback and sharing. A minority note good content, but it is overwhelmed by advertising and UX issues, making the app frustrating during emergencies and everyday use.

Pros

Cons

Too many ads, including autoplaying video ads with sound, which disrupts reading and use.
Ads appear before content and during urgent weather coverage, delaying access to important information.
The latest update changes the layout and navigation, making it hard to swipe between articles and read headlines.
Notifications and alerts are unreliable/not clearing, causing missed alerts and persistent red badges.
Inappropriate ads (e.g., pornographic) appear in the app, and some features like watching previous newscasts or sharing stories are hindered.

I get it you want clicks. But every single news alert is clickbait. “Memphis Grizzlies player dies” is as example of an inappropriate time for click bait. Deleting the app.

WHEN TRYING TO READ A NOTIFICATION WITH NEWS IT OPENS UP CONSTANTLY THAT MY PHONE IS RESTRICTED AND HACKED BECAUSE I VISITED MANY ADULT WEBSITES. HAVE NEVER DONE ANY OF THAT EVER!!! IT WON’T LET ME GO TO ANY OF THE NEWS STORIES. GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED AND THINKING I MIGHT HAVE TO DELETE THIS APP IF IT CANT BE STOPPED.
