An addendum: I get notifications about 7, 8 times a day minimum a lot of them are quite frightening be weather aware hail strong winds trees falling and one would think if one gets a notification like an hour before it would be fairly correct but that's not the case and it bothers me because I pay attention to it and I make plans around it and if none of those things happen then I could've been doing something productive why don't you cut down the number of notifications and maybe be a bit more precise?? After all I guess it's social media but it doesn't have to be so attention getting it is the weather and it is important ### 4/5 — Modern times *2025-06-19* A suggestion I have been using this app for sometime now we are in the year 2025 and every time I listen to an update it has if you are picking up the kids from school if you are going to church blah blah blah These are homilies that might've seemed cute in the 50s but they're not apropos for a cosmopolitan city I think it would be more appropriate if you just gave the updates of the weather without these additional details remarks just a thought because not all of us are suburban couples picking up kids from school going to a ball game I think hopefully you get the gist?

Disable during severe weather please *2025-04-07, version 5.17.511* Trying to figure out information earlier on a tornado warning, and each video popped up with an ad that wasn’t skippable for 5 seconds. I feel that’s inappropriate in a serious life threatening situation… ### 3/5 — Accurate but annoying *2025-04-01, version 5.17.511* Waaaaaaay too many cutesy notifications. Just tell me about severe weather. If I wanna know it’ll be a sunny day I’ll open the app. ### 4/5 — Modern times *2025-02-16* A suggestion I have been using this app for sometime now we are in the year 2025 and every time I listen to an update it has if you are picking up the kids from school if you are going to church blah blah blah These are homilies that might've seemed cute in the 50s but they're not apropos for a cosmopolitan city I think it would be more appropriate if you just gave the updates of the weather without these additional details remarks just a thought because not all of us are suburban couples picking up kids from school going to a ball game I think hopefully you get the gist? ### 3/5 — Still Waiting… *2024-10-17, version 5.16.1703* It’s 2024 and still no widgets… ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2024-10-08, version 5.16.1703* If you were in a hurry to get weather results for your area, you have to suffer through advertising first. Sometimes it’s longer than the news report. ### 4/5 — Enjoy in general the app *2024-07-21* Meteorologists are pretty much on top of situations and deliver them in an efficient way. I have to say though and this annoys the heck out of me I’ve lived in Atlanta over 40 years and the image of it as an international city is demeaning by all this folksy stuff, whether you’re headed out to church or blah blah blah the weather for the Braves game or blah blah blah this is not international. This is not even Local. This is in my opinion just a tad bit much if you could cut back on that that would be most welcome. ### 3/5 — CBS46 viewer *2024-07-01, version 5.15.401* Too much ads. Wish it was less ads ### 2/5 — Not a service, mostly advertisement *2024-05-13, version 5.12.701* Tornado will have come, destroyed homes, before you can finally get to the weather Disappointed in ethics ### 4/5 — Unclear *2024-02-21, version 5.12.701* Split screens and ads make it hard to know where I am to look and what to expect to see for Weather. ### 2/5 — Needs cleaning up *2024-01-22, version 5.12.701* Hard to get the forecast when you’re bombarded with ads. Pretty much useless right now. ### 4/5 — I like this App *2023-07-21, version 5.10.500* I garden (and I don’t like driving in the bad weather), so this is one of the few Apps I allow notifications. Great App,—better than the Weather Channel App. If I see lightning from my window, this App sends a notification stating that the lightning is about 11 miles away. Nice! ### 3/5 — Slow upload *2023-07-05, version 5.10.500* The old app opens instantly. This app takes forever. It will be useless here in the mountains during a storm if it doesn’t upload. ### 4/5 — Good App no widgets *2023-06-19, version 5.10.400* Great app love the accuracy of the weather more so living up in the mountains where other weather apps aren’t so accurate. Just wish you could invest in updating the app to include some widgets, and to include the Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Ditch the other apps *2022-09-30, version 5.6.512* This app was very well designed and works better than the laggy Weather Channel. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No more *2026-03-06, version 6.1.601* Very annoying and interruptive! ### 1/5 — Was great until it wasn’t *2026-01-11, version 6.1.302* I used to love this app! Helpful weather information, especially during storms. My notifications would tell me when lightning was detected near my location which I appreciated. The app’s accuracy for crazy unpredictable Atlanta weather was also great. Then last week I clicked on the app to watch a weather report and was forced to watch a disturbing political piece. It didn’t even seem like an ad, just straight up propaganda. I tried to close it and reopen so that I could watch my weather forecast without the politics, but the propaganda started all over again. I immediately deleted the app. Too bad. Used to be great. Now it’s garbage. ### 1/5 — Stormy weather for this site *2024-09-24, version 5.15.412* This product does not have sound and does not get started telling me anything worth knowing. I keep trying to figure it out but the advertising the Advertising. Seems to be the main thing going on and it doesn’t have sound or place to turn it on. All in all, it’s a waste of space. If you want people to keep it and use it, you must make it clear how to use it. ### 1/5 — First Alerts *2022-06-20, version 5.5.703* I signed up for this to get actual “Alerts”. I don’t need to be told it’s going to hot three times a day. I want an alert to tell me actual relevant information. ### 1/5 — Alarms *2020-03-06, version 4.34.260049852* Alarms not wirking ### 1/5 — CBS no longer cares about this app *2019-10-31, version 4.34.250049819* The app hasn’t worked properly in months. The radar animations don’t load, 404 errors in the forecasts, and the updates never fix anything. CBS once had a great app, but have apparently abandoned it since problems abound and no one cares to fix them. ### 1/5 — Anybody out there? *2019-09-19, version 4.33.530046565* What’s up with our local weather app? Most of what you used to offer is no longer supported and you have not had a decent review lately. Dead 404 messages are not what I want to see. You have awesome weather professionals at the station why not push some technology out to us when we can’t sit in front of a TV? ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2019-02-09, version 4.30.430040514* Half the features in this app don’t work. You just a “Error 404 Can’t Find This Page”. I’ve reached out to the developers several times and they don’t care. Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Deleting have to view updates in Facebook *2017-09-10, version 4.24.210029876* I don't have and don't want the Facebook app! I cant view updates without Facebook. What use is this app??!!?? ### 1/5 — Pop up ads *2017-05-11, version 4.22.300027852* I am deleting app because of the pop up ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ANF *2025-08-08, version 5.17.706* Lovin it! ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2025-07-21, version 5.17.511* Growing up in the Midwest, I experienced several severe storms. I had a friend that was injured in a severe storm. Since that time, I respect mother nature, and take your warnings very seriously. Our family has a safe place in our house that we always go to when we are advised by Atlanta news First Alert Weather. Thank you for keeping us safe! ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2025-05-17, version 5.17.511* I truly appreciate the notices and accuracy of this app. It’s a must have. ### 5/5 — Y’all are very great with your weather. *2025-05-11, version 5.17.511* Your weather is very good. ### 5/5 — Morning Go Team *2025-02-17, version 5.17.511* Great professional meteorologist producing top quality data and weather analysis. Rodney is the best. Ella is the most popular. Jennifer has hired great people to complete the best team is the south. ANF is staffed with all quality professionals, thank you Gray Media. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-01-14, version 5.12.701* Very easy to consume content quickly. ### 5/5 — What it feels like. *2023-08-08, version 5.10.500* Unlike other weather apps this one states one the homepage what the humidity and due point is. Then it tell what it actually feels like outside. For me this is very helpful. ### 5/5 — Wow it works really good. *2023-04-01, version 5.7.301* It’s on point. I’ve been using this app for a few months so far so good. ### 5/5 — Best weather app for ATL *2023-01-22, version 5.7.301* This weather app is better than any other local ATL weather app! Videos updated by meteorologists very often! Very accurate! ### 5/5 — Channel 46 *2023-01-11, version 5.7.204* Most reliable weather forecast and the only weather I watch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
