Highly effective app!!! The meteorologists are a hoot!!!
Was excellent. I've had the app about a year. Would give it a 5 star, but this last update will not allow the map to work correctly. It will not load radar. If you get lucky enough to have it load, you can not go forward or repeat, as nothing moves. If you grab the bar to move the radar along, the app closes. Fix it, and you have a 5 star app.

Radar does not work consistently
It’s nice to have local weather so handy but the radar sucks! I have to use a different app half the time for radar. At that point is it worth keeping this app? Fix the radar!!
Help- app needs updating- just showing lightning bolts no clouds- help!
Radar loop stopped working. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. After each reinstall the radar loop works a few times and then stops again.
This was my go to weather app. The most recent update changed the radar portion of the app. Previous version had several customization options including the ability to show Past+Future radar image in a loop. That has been removed and now the Past & Future radar image must be selected separately, not as one seamless loop. Interestingly, with Past selected, the radar image ends as much as 15 minutes before current time while with Future selected the radar image starts as much as 15 minutes after current time so you never have a radar image for the current time. This is a significant downgrade. I’ll be moving on to a different weather app.

Love being able to access local weather anytime!
First Alert is so reliable and so meticulous about any changes in the fast changing weather conditions, we have here in Rochester, N.Y. and surrounding areas. A voice actually comes through, on your phone, even if it’s just next to you. It’s so helpful and I’d say get this app, because they truly are looking out for you~First Alert, can pin point the actual area you are in and let you know ahead of time, to prepare for serious unexpected weather changes. First Alert will be with you wherever you are. This app has exceeded my expectations. First alert has your back. The weather is an amazing force of nature all of its own. It will not compromise, it will not wait a minute until you are done w something. It’s does what it wants, when it wants. First Alert is on the lookout 24/7 for that reason. It helps keep us safe.

I love being able to watch the weather report in the morning when I get up. Thanks!
My favorite weather forecaster‼️
Three weather screens show up with ALL 3 playing at once…cannot shut any of them off :-/
Awesome thanks
I enjoy watching Rochester Weather from Santa Maria California, my mother lives in Pittsford New York
I like to be informed for the day
You used to have the dew point available when you first opened the app. Now I can’t find it anywhere. Just the relative humidity is shown. Please bring back the dew point!
What happen to the dew point. We need that to know how warm it really is. Please bring that back. Thank you
Why did you change it so that the high temp is now on the right hand side? We read left to right… this was unnecessary and frankly, stupid.
I LOVE the update! Everything about it looks awesome and fresh! Great job to the app designers!
Help- app needs updating- won’t open using IOS17+
