User Reviews

Users generally appreciate WTOC First Alert Radar for its broad location coverage, feature-rich and easy-to-use interface, clear weather information, and trusted local radar visuals. However, repeated reviews point to several drawbacks: an overload of ads that hamper readability, recurring data inaccuracies (radar and temperatures), stability issues (crashes and glitches), and regression after updates that disrupt core radar functionality. Overall, strengths in accessibility and radar clarity are hampered by ads, reliability, and update-related regressions.

Pros

Works everywhere with a rich set of options and an intuitive interface.
Radar visuals are strong and data often trusted for local weather.
Clear, straightforward weather information that many users prefer over other apps (e.g., Weather Channel).
Accurate local forecasts for the Lowcountry are frequently noted by users.

Cons

Excessive ads and intrusive advertising.
Inaccurate radar/temperature data and unreliable forecasts.
App crashes frequently and is glitchy.
Recent updates degraded functionality or caused breaks (update regressions).

Too many ads. Can’t even read the info.

The latest upgrade destroyed a great app. The radar on the home tab is 2 hours behind the radar on the radar tab, the temperature reading is 12 degrees hotter than 7 local thermometers that all agree ( 48 degrees locally vs 60 degrees on the app), and the traffic map only shows metro Savannah and 50 miles of ocean. Yes I know the thermometers are not calibrated and NOAA certified installations, but a 12 degree error is a LOT.
