User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise FOX Carolina First Alert Wx for timely real-time weather updates, reliable radar, and credible on-air meteorologists. However, multiple reviews flag pervasive ads, including banners and ads that disrupt use or gate warnings, and note UI changes that removed map customization. Other common concerns are bugs and performance problems and occasionally missed or delayed storm alerts. Overall, users see strong weather coverage from a trusted team but frustration with ads and some design and notification issues.

Pros

Real-time updates and accurate forecasts.
Trustworthy meteorologists/anchors delivering weather and news (Kendra Kent, Chrissy Bristow, Margret Ann Carter).
Reliable radar for tracking storms on the go.
Useful overall coverage that keeps you in the loop during weather events.

Cons

Pervasive ads and commercials, including banners and pop-ups, that disrupt use and even gate warnings.
Map/UI changes that removed customization options, making presets harder to use.
Inconsistent or missing storm notifications or delays in alerts.
Bugs and performance problems (crashes, slow loading, video issues).

Recent reviews

The app has way too many ads. If you pause it, you have to endure another ad and then it restarts from the beginning, that’s annoying.

Always keeps me in the loop with everything going on! Definitely recommend this app very useful to have!

A recent update made the maps significantly worse. You used to be able to customize your default view with whatever you wanted to see. Now they give you a bunch of presets that you can’t customize or remove and if you want what you used to have you have to create a new map, save it, and it gets buried in a corner. Why they made the maps worse, and for no reason, is beyond me. But I’m about to switch to the other station’s app at this point. I used to love this app, it was perfect. But the map change is inexcusable. I’m talking a fireable offense for whoever green lit this change.
