User Reviews

Reviews praise WSFA First Alert Weather for accurate, timely warnings and trusted local coverage, but consistently complain about radar issues, heavy ads, unreliable alerts, and general app instability that disrupts accessing forecasts and warnings.

Pros

Accurate and timely weather warnings from a trusted local team.
Reliable local weather reporting and news from the WSFA weather team.
Useful, safety-focused weather information that helps keep people informed during severe weather.

Cons

Radar reliability and visibility problems: radar data stops early, incomplete cycles, and warnings are hard to see due to poor contrast.
Excessive ads and intrusive video ads that disrupt accessing forecasts.
Alerts timing and delivery issues: push notifications can be late or duplicated and sometimes arrive after the threat has passed.
Buggy performance and UI glitches: slow to launch, freezing videos, and ad-related playback issues.
Location and map usability problems: hard-to-see location dot and warning boxes poorly distinguished on the radar map.

Recent reviews

The latest update to the WSFA weather app is terrible! Radar doesn’t work. I am deleting this app because I need a weather app that works.

I never write reviews but I do not know how this app has such high reviews. I’ve been using this app for years now and the daily and hourly forecast are extremely inaccurate time to switch to a different weather app
