My go to channel for Weather and News.

Outstanding

I love the WMBF staff. However the weather APP is awful. They push us to use it constantly. The layout for one is too random. Not user friendly. . But the fact during turbulent weather we have to wait to watch commercials first. I think Jamie Arnold and his team are top notch. But I go to other apps/websites to find out what’s going on Myrtle Beach.

Great app, buuuuuut….

I really appreciate this app, always accurate but would appreciate it more if I didn’t have to watch a 25 second commercial every single time I open a video. This is especially frustrating when we are under severe weather or a tornado WATCH. Can you guys turn OFF the 25 second commercial or make an option to skip after 5 seconds if we are in a severe threat? Otherwise, great app!

Thank you!

The commercial channel for phones

This AP. Even set with sever alert only constantly sends messages, when you open it to see where the bad weather is, it shows you a commercial, then today, I get a tide chart! Then casino games flashing to play.

I don’t like anything about it except the radar.

Good To Know!

It’s good to be updated on what the weather is going to be. WMBF weather does it well.

CR

Too much advertisement embedded.

Live weather events and commercials

I love this app! It is great with one major exception!!! When the app sends you severe weather alerts(especially tornados) and you pull up the app you have to watch a30 second ad to get to the live weather broadcast! In the occasion that we are under tornado threat, you should forgo the ads…. THAT 30 SECONDS COULD BE LIFE AND DEATH!

More Weather instead of all commercials

Every single thing I clicked on had a commercial I’m forced to watch. Waste of time.

Tornado

We had a tornado about 6 miles from our home off of red oaks blvd! I'm from Oklahoma and used to every station giving minute by minute reporting! I got one alert that didn't come through soon enough! Nor was there any emergency alerts on the tv. Weird. Unsafe! I do not use this app thinking it will save my life. Other apps have been downloaded on my phone since then. Poor reporting in a true emergency!

Most honest and accurate

So far I am pleased with using the app and how accurate and up to date it is. I’m still trying to learn how to customize it.

Great when it works.

The radar is slow to load and often won’t show up at all. I’ll switch to another weather app and it loads the radar just fine. Would be 5 stars if it weren’t for this issue.

Good

Exceptional accurate, like this app very much!

Good stuff!

Good reporting.

WMBF First Alert Weather Rocks!!!!!

I enjoyed this app along with Meteorologists
