User Reviews

Users praise FOX19 First Alert Weather for accurate forecasts, strong radar, and a user-friendly interface, plus trusted meteorologists. However, many reviews highlight too many non-emergency notifications, performance and battery drain, intrusive ads, inconsistent radar (24-hour view and loading problems), and readability changes (all-caps headlines) after updates. The app remains a go-to for many, but improvements in alert management, performance, radar reliability, and ad-light presentation are commonly requested.

Pros

Accurate and reliable forecasts that make it a go-to weather app
Strong radar features with future radar coverage
Easy-to-use, simple, and logical presentation/navigation
Credible meteorologist team (Steve Horstmeyer and Catherine Bodak)
Daily updates and broad weather coverage

Cons

Excessive non-emergency notifications and loud voice alerts that wake users
High resource usage and device lag/battery drain after using the app
Intrusive ads and ad clutter within the app
Radar reliability issues (incomplete 24-hour radar, loading problems)
Readability/UI issues after updates (e.g., all-caps daily headlines)

Fox 19 really helps when I know that there is a storm but I don’t know when it is, or where it is. It’s the best. lol 😁

Tornadoes today did not show up in the app, I got no warnings about a tornado nothing at all. Every day is a first alert weather day but when it matters, this fails. Never again!!!!!
