### 2/5 — Radar

*2026-06-21, version 6.2.512*

Radar does not work on app.

### 2/5 — Radar change

*2026-01-18, version 6.1.302*

In my opinion you completely ruined the radar part of your app with recent changes. Moves too fast and does not have the detail it used to have. I would strongly recommend going back to the original design. First Warn has always been my go to app for weather, I may have to move to something else. Thanks

### 2/5 — Navigation dummy

*2025-09-14, version 5.17.706*

You put out alerts and don’t say where they are. Then you click the alert and the info gets lost before you have a chance to read it.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2024-04-29, version 5.14.502*

The app would be 5 stars if it weren’t for all of the advertisements. I don’t like seeing random inappropriate ads while I’m trying to check local news and weather.

### 3/5 — Glitchy radar.

*2023-08-04, version 5.10.401*

I have updated the app but still get glitches in the radar.

### 2/5 — Not worth the effort most of the time

*2023-07-12, version 5.10.401*

This app gives the local detail I want. That said, it takes forever to load, which is inconvenient at best when we’re further out and knowing the weather, and seeing the radar is an actual safety issue. I often cannot even get it open at those times when we’re out camping for example. Since I’ve been typing I’ve had 4 alerts sound on my phone for a thunderstorm. If you want to be alerted to emergencies such as tornados you have to put up with knowing every drop of rain that falls. Make that six alerts. All in all, I keep removing it because it’s not as helpful as annoying. I can just get the same info elsewhere. Make that seven alerts in as many minutes.

### 2/5 — Please Fix The Radar

*2023-06-26, version 5.10.401*

This has always been my go to app to track radar and I’m about ready to remove it and search for something else.

### 2/5 — This was my favorite weather app

*2023-06-21, version 5.10.401*

The radar is almost impossible to load. I was hoping it was an issue that would be fixed with an update, but it’s been this way for almost two months.

### 3/5 — Weather Skycams not streaming....

*2023-06-06*

App works great, as well as all notifications. Your weather skycams work only 1/4 of the time. They don't stream properly. Black screen everytime. This problem has been persisting for months. Need better or more up to date technology. Weak streams that don't livestream  properly.

### 2/5 — Radar doesn’t work

*2023-06-04, version 5.8.500*

Used to love this app would even give it 5 stars, but the radar hasn’t worked for weeks and it’s the only radar I like.

### 4/5 — Great Content!!

*2023-04-02, version 5.7.301*

Great content and great people doing great work. The app could use improvement, glitchy/ not too user friendly// videos and sound glitchy

### 3/5 — Sounds

*2021-09-11, version 5.3.903*

Good app however notifications sounds that says announce isn’t announce it’s a NBC tone. That’s wrong and needs to have the proper sound of a voice that says all of the weather notifications. If you think that the NBC tone is a announce then you need to go back to school.

### 3/5 — Baloney

*2021-07-19, version 5.3.903*

You know I really wish the app Ive used for two years would tell me when it’s gunna rain before it does and not after

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good for 6 months of the year

*2025-05-31, version 5.17.511*

These guys are accurate in the winter, but literally only the winter.  Absolutely ridiculous how in 2025 they cannot predict a single summer storm until 15 minutes before it hits.  Hard to plan anything when relying on this app.

### 1/5 — Radar

*2025-03-28, version 5.17.511*

-1.  Radar is so far off compared to 3 different apps.  No way to contact them to repair what’s going on.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2024-07-29, version 5.15.411*

Preview shows a radar screen with current weather overlay that lists Dewpoint. Dewpoint is more important to everybody than relative humidity. 
There is no Dewpoint on the actual app. Boo

### 1/5 — Get around the app

*2024-07-13, version 5.15.407*

Not easy navigating is app

### 1/5 — Pretty poor

*2023-11-27, version 5.12.701*

Basically, there are so many commercials that I can’t get any other information

### 1/5 — first warn weekend update...

*2023-08-12, version 5.10.401*

ads you can hear but actual update Henry needs to speak up, you can barely hear him

### 1/5 — Increasingly intrusive ads

*2023-05-31, version 5.8.500*

The app itself is alright, the ads are getting out of hand. I had a full screen ad come up while watching the radar today. Time to look for an alternative I guess.

### 1/5 — Never works anymore

*2023-05-30, version 5.8.500*

This app has become absolutely terrible.  The amount of advertisements that they push through at this point for seemingly zero increase in app performance or new features, is ridiculous.  I constantly have to close the app and restart it to get the radar to work.  And why am I not able to see the latest weather report from the tv program and instead get some stupid webcast?

### 1/5 — No Availabilty

*2022-08-06, version 5.6.505*

Unable to get the First Warn Weather App on my I-pad.  Not in App-store, shows up as view only?

### 1/5 — No sound on weather updates

*2021-06-09, version 5.3.800*

I cannot get sound on the most important weather alerts.

*2024-07-10, version 5.15.407*

### 5/5 — Best plan ahead weather app out there

*2023-11-10, version 5.12.701*

I’m from NW ND, but I have moved out of state. There’s a lot I miss from home. My weather app is not one of them because I take it everywhere, lol. It’s the best and easiest weather app I’ve ever found.
