### 1/5 — don't use anymore

*2026-07-01, version 6.2.517*

this app used to be something I looked at so many times every day, especially for the earthquakes
But since they changed the format
The earthquakes don't work
When they show up, they won't tell you where they are
I don't know why I have to push buttons to make separate apps
My weather progress video that you push play to watch how everything plays out on the map in the future
Is stuck at the end and now I just get what's already happened
That's been broken for a couple of weeks
So basically an app that was my top favorite is completely useless
I called them. I told them. Nothing has changed.
It's sad because weather and earthquakes were a part of my every day and there is nothing that matches what this app was
I don't care for the new News app or this app a shame because what they had worked just fine

### 1/5 — New Earthquake Map

*2026-06-28, version 6.2.517*

The development team has rendered the earthquake feature useless by illustrating all the quakes in the same size. Whereas you easily distinguish between the large, potentially damaging quakes and the hundreds of small shakers we Alaskans get every day.  Boo! No one to even complain to. Boo Boo!

### 5/5 — New Weather reporter

*2026-04-19, version 6.1.302*

I really like the new weather lady on the news cast this Saturday and Sunday 
She spoke without dropping the flow

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-03-02, version 6.1.302*

Love First Alert weather

### 1/5 — First alert commercial

*2025-12-30, version 5.17.804*

You have to watch a commercial to watch a video

### 4/5 — KTUU

*2025-10-09, version 5.17.706*

Great weather service.  
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Weather Forecast

*2025-06-08, version 5.17.608*

Thanks for the forecasts.

### 3/5 — Horrible ads

*2025-05-01, version 5.17.608*

The whole Alaska news app. Has bad ads. In the weather,the news all throughout the app. Here’s an example: These cars are for Seniors. What baloney. All throughout the app are ads that are just Poo. I am trying to be nice with my review of this app. Please someone how has a clue. Look at the ads that you run in the app.

### 2/5 — Can’t Look at What I want Without It Taking Me to Something I didn’t Ask For

*2025-01-10, version 5.17.509*

Don’t Download. Once you open the app you can go just so far into the weather report before it sends you to a page with videos of the forecast that you don’t ask for. I’m deleting it from my phone

### 4/5 — Accuracy?

*2024-12-31, version 5.17.509*

The current weather tab shows 7° which is pretty accurate but the Hourly tab shows 20° plus as does the Daily tab.  Is there not a connection between them?  Doesn’t seem to be.
