### 1/5 — Conflicting information, ad prioritized

*2026-07-22, version 6.2.510*

Could literally be dangerous in bad weather that the advertising sponsor takes up the entire screen so long.  (Just have the ad at the top or bottom of the screen continuously.) And regular future radar and 24-hr radar conflict, even in the supposed  current status.

### 1/5 — Radar

*2026-07-16, version 6.2.510*

I mean why would a weather app’s radar work? It’s not like you’d ever want to see the radar in stormy days to know when the rain is coming….. Garbage.

### 5/5 — Undisputed

*2026-07-09, version 6.2.510*

Steve Templeton is the GOAT

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-06-30, version 6.2.510*

Always shows 77* when it’s at least 90* out. Used to be great but it needs looked at now

### 2/5 — No sound

*2026-06-21, version 6.2.510*

The commercial at the beginning has sound. The weather report doesn’t.

### 5/5 — Preferred weather app!!

*2026-06-13, version 6.2.510*

We used to use a different local station's Weather app, which shall remain anonymous, but it became so unusable by pop-up windows that we decided to try the First Alert 4 Weather app. Bingo! You can actually use the First Alert app without having to wait for the next advertisement to finish its run. We're sticking with this one.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2026-06-10, version 6.2.510*

While this app provides for accurate weather & the people are great, the app itself is frustratingly slow. You click on the notification & it takes a while for the app to fire up. Then it has to show you a couple of commercials. Then it starts up the video of the weather report that may be recent or maybe 30 minutes old or older. In the mean time I could have clicked on 2 other weather apps & got a report and full Doppler radar. It’s not like I’m running it on a real old phone (iPhone 16 plus ).

### 2/5 — Weather

*2026-06-03, version 6.2.510*

Your station does not do a very good job of covering weather unless it is bad.  It does not cover news in our area.

### 4/5 — Extremely useful but some bugs

*2026-05-05, version 6.2.501*

I do love that it gives me loud alerts to storms but unfortunately even though I turned off alerts to lightning so I could sleep it still gave me the alerts. Hopefully this bug is fixed quickly.
.

### 5/5 — Info at my fingertips

*2026-04-28, version 6.1.709*

This is a great app for relevant weather information at my fingertips.
