Nonetheless, they put 30 second unskippable ads on every video in the app. Tornado warning goes off. Sirens in my neighborhood are going off. Hail pouring down. And yet to watch the 1 minute video about the tornado warning I’m living through, I have to watch a 30 second add. Turn off ads on videos about severe weather. ### 4/5 — Good but one thing: *2025-09-09, version 5.17.706* Sometimes when I click to view the 10 day forecast, I lags which takes me back to my Home Screen. I would love it if that got fixed. Other than that the app is useful and great! ### 2/5 — Your 10-Day is a garbled mess! *2025-08-15, version 5.17.706* You push this app constantly just so you can push more ads! ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-08-07, version 5.17.706* For some strange reason the app radar hardly ever matches the tv video forecasts. And the 10-day forecasts are often wrong. It’s sometimes hard to plan outside events or trips when you’re not sure what the weather is going to be. ### 4/5 — Weather *2025-03-09, version 5.17.511* Eric is dressed so much better, (not his fault), apparel wise. ### 3/5 — Confusing *2025-02-26* The pages are confusing and difficult to read. ### 4/5 — Inches *2024-10-30, version 5.16.1707* I just got this Apple tablet from my daughter. The WOWT weather app does not give rain totals. My old Fire tablet WOWT has rain totals daily, monthly, yearly and averages. ### 2/5 — Misinformation about my area *2024-09-22, version 5.15.412* So far every update has been wrong. ### 3/5 — Radar Map is quirky *2023-07-31, version 5.10.504* I really like this app, but lately the radar page is not acting right. It used to be that when I left the app open, but went to viewing another app or just let the screen turn off, that I could go back to the app and the radar would pick up where it left off. Now the radar will either be blank or flashes on and off. I have to shut the app down and restart to get radar to work again. Really annoying when I want to keep track of active weather. ### 2/5 — Weather radar *2023-07-07, version 5.10.500* Tooooo many adds to actually see the radar most of the time. 😵‍💫 ### 5/5 — Awesome I love you guys. I work here. *2023-06-13, version 5.10.400* I actually work here even though there’s so many ads it’s great it’s awesome when it tells you that there’s lightning detected in your area always 100% accurate every year. They also have the old news and everything. I love you NBC six. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-05-29, version 6.1.601* Radar never works. Too many ads. ### 1/5 — Ads, Ads and more Ads! *2026-01-26, version 6.1.301* I tried using this app to watch the local news and the pop up ads were SO BAD I had to close the app. Shame on you for being SO greedy and making this so dysfunctional!! ### 1/5 — There’s always weather *2025-08-25, version 5.17.706* Weather alerts like news stories are something out of the ordinary. Telling me every couple hours there’s no weather to report is not what I’m seeking. Should this persist I’ll eliminate the app. Rusty, Jade, Emily and Bo do the best job with weather in the market. That’s why I activated the alerts. ### 1/5 — Advertising annoying *2025-06-16, version 5.17.511* I need quick weather report/firecast. I get a commercial and a drawn out TV forecast when a short paragraph would work ### 1/5 — Notifications are Pointless *2025-01-06, version 5.17.508* I don’t get why you have an application when you select a notification and it takes you to the WOWT website. ### 1/5 — What Happened? *2024-12-12, version 5.17.508* The new format is a jumbled mess. Who thought this was a good idea? Even the App is a visual mess!! If you are catering to the Youth don’t!!! It’s 50+ that watch TV🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Weather *2024-08-27, version 5.15.412* WAY TOO MANY UPDATES ### 1/5 — Quality of app *2024-07-16, version 5.15.404* Too much “junk” It is hard to sort through all the ads etc. especially during a severe storm Printing on maps too small ### 1/5 — Radar needs work. *2023-07-07, version 5.10.500* Your radar on the app is not working correctly. It flickers on and off. It needs attention. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Broken ads *2023-05-14, version 5.7.405* Loved this app until pop up ads took the whole screen without any way to escape it. Temo is the ad. Very annoying, deleted the app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Matt *2026-03-27, version 6.1.601* Just made it a easy switch from channel 7 by having Matt back in Omaha can’t wait ### 5/5 — love this app! *2025-06-30, version 5.17.511* before i got this weather app, all i had was a boring, useless weather app that was always wrong. don’t recommend that app 😬. but this one… love it! it’s easy to use and it tells me everything i need to know. humidity, temperature, wind, sunset, everything! totally recommend! five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Weather review *2025-04-24, version 5.17.511* Great ### 5/5 — Good *2024-06-08, version 5.13.1001* Good ### 5/5 — I love this app so much *2024-04-30, version 5.13.1001* This is exactly how a weather app should work. I love it so much! It made me feel so safe during the tornado. I also love it because I have migraines and it helps confirm what’s going on with the weather. ### 5/5 — Convenience *2024-04-30, version 5.13.1001* Wherever and whenever I need weather information, it’s only a few taps away. It’s so helpful in planning the day. ### 5/5 — Too many commercials *2024-03-15, version 5.13.801* They should rename this app First Alert Commercials with a little news and weather thrown in. ### 5/5 — Radar *2023-08-01, version 5.10.504* I liked the previous radar but this one is ok when it comes up. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-07-29, version 5.10.504* Greatgreat ### 5/5 — Coen report *2023-07-14, version 5.10.500* My dream is to be a wheather man one day I love all of the. Meteorologists. On this team when I am worried about the wheather this app always keeps me post day to day an hour to hour --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
