Can’t we just see one weather caster and less dumb commercials? ### 2/5 — Looping commercials *2026-06-17, version 6.2.512* Repetitive, looping commercials kept me from watching the video. ### 4/5 — Just turned off all notifications *2024-10-27, version 5.16.1704* This app is getting worse and worse. Notifications are sent out just to get you to their ads. And you can never find the information they sent you the notification on. Proving more useless every day. ### 4/5 — Tends to lose radar image *2024-08-04, version 5.15.411* Good app, but has tendency to lose the radar image, even when precipitation is bearing down on my area. ### 4/5 — Sound *2024-07-01, version 5.15.401* No sound ### 4/5 — Great for Weather *2024-01-27* Pretty accurate weather app. I prefer it over other apps. The graphics are clean. Only thing that happens, when I go to view photos of weather or pets, the app freezes up. ### 4/5 — Decent app *2023-10-27, version 5.12.701* This is a good app as far as Weather information goes. But there’s way too many unnecessary alerts, alerts should only be if there’s something significant, we’re out of the norm , not because it gonna drop 5° tomorrow (as an example) ### 2/5 — Sort of annoying *2023-09-18, version 5.10.506* It gives me alerts I didn’t ask for ### 3/5 — Radar does not always work *2023-08-18, version 5.10.506* Radar often does not work, will display map without any weather displayed. Many refreshes will sometimes get it to display correctly. If it does display weather, the weather warnings such as Heat Warnings, display pink color and cannot be removed making it difficult to see. It used to work great, please fix! ### 2/5 — Sam B. *2023-05-13, version 5.8.411* I’ve had this app for about six months now. And recently, in the last three weeks, it has been randomly crashing. And takes a long time to load. I have deleted it, reinstalled it and still same problem and I know it’s not my phone because all my other apps work just fine. Overall, I like the app. Please fix this problem. ### 5/5 — Weather at a quick glance *2023-02-23, version 5.7.302* So convenient…. I can check weather on my phone! Awesome to get weather Alerts 😊 Thank you Arizona 3 ### 5/5 — Great News Change *2023-01-05, version 5.7.204* Have watched many years. Latest news. Information about travel, food, Local and National News. Great weather reports. Top notch anchors. With a little fun and interesting facts 👍☝️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — First alert warning *2025-09-14, version 5.17.706* I get a loud signal in my hearing aids from First Alert. When I check it out there is nothing significant ### 1/5 — Too crowded and doesn’t really do what the staff shows on a broadcast *2025-07-15, version 5.17.512* See Title ### 1/5 — The amount of ads are ridiculous *2025-06-05, version 5.17.512* The amount of ads are ridiculous, deleted it after 30 seconds ### 1/5 — Weather alert … no ad alert *2024-07-25, version 5.15.411* Must watch ad before the alert. I downloaded the app to get weather alerts. Yes, I get weather alerts but before you can read or watch them, you have to watch an ad. Skip this app. Removed from iPhone. ### 1/5 — Prescott *2024-03-06, version 5.13.801* I need First Alert for Prescott. Is this possible? ### 1/5 — Weather Dept Woes *2023-07-12, version 5.10.500* Weather people with normal seasonal heat in Phoenix by trying to make it a crisis— Must be a climate change conspiracy— such a joke ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2023-03-06, version 5.7.302* It’s very annoying when you are in the app and are trying to see what the different weather reports are (ie rain chance; temperatures; wind, etc) and every time you do go to a different segment, you have to sit through yet another commercial. It would be better to blend all three segments into one longer one and limit it to one initial commercial. On a side note, PLEASE stop saying “First Alert” over and over again throughout the newscast. That’s even more annoying!! ### 1/5 — Commercial *2023-02-25, version 5.7.302* Lots of commercials in relation to content. That price is too high for me, I’ll get my weather elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Ads on ads on ads *2022-08-13, version 5.6.500* This app has more ads than I think I’ve ever seen in any app, ever. The main screen is a disjointed mess that makes no sense. Uninstalling it now. ### 1/5 — Be very careful. It’s a bait and switch!! *2022-06-24, version 5.6.402* Promoted as a safety related weather alert. Just signed in and agreed to allow notifications, less that 5 minutes later I get an advertising filled alert for a traffic incident 30+ miles away from where am. Shame on you!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Radar Suggestion *2026-08-13, version 6.2.604* Well-designed and helpful site. I suggest slight pause at the end of every radar loop to increase clarity of timeline. ### 5/5 — Love AZ Family *2026-05-20, version 6.1.601* We are snowbirds, our news of choice in AZ is Arizona family. So when we head back north it’s so nice to keep up on what’s going on, Keep up the great job! ### 5/5 — “Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head” *2025-11-18, version 5.17.801* Like the First Alert APP! Love 3 TV!!!! ❤️💜☔️ ### 5/5 — Arizona *2025-11-10, version 5.17.801* Great Weather App for local weather! ### 5/5 — Best Weather APP Available *2024-11-29, version 5.16.1704* Easy to use gives info that helps you stay informed and make decisions as to what to Wear Sunscreen etc my only Problem with the APP is it Lacks information concerning AIR Quality which my old App that just Disappeared provided on the First Page l Really Miss this Information other wise the App works fine ### 5/5 — Most Accurate Weather App So Far *2024-10-28, version 5.16.1704* I’ve tried using several weather apps for local weather (and other regions) I like this app because it seems to be the most accurate for my area. Decent graphics. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-31, version 5.15.411* Great app ### 5/5 — B *2024-08-23, version 5.15.411* Always there to let me know the weather. Thanks ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-11-05, version 5.12.701* The best weather App ### 5/5 — What the heck? *2023-09-02, version 5.10.506* I pressed a four star and it went forward as a 5 star.
