Needs Work
Just started using this app in place of a different local news weather app that began putting banner ads on top of content. 1- I did not see that happening on this app initially but now it is doing the same thing…big banner ad on top of present temperature under maps. I certainly get the use of advertising but I will never accept the misuse or overuse of it. Why would any app developer want to have ads covering their content….makes no sense? In reality, this app looks almost identical to the other app from a different channel….perhaps you are using the same service to create and source your weather news. 2- There is no way to contact Channel 12 for app support thru “help” on the app….no “contact us” at all. In fact I see no way to get to support under any links on the app. 3- Also your app provides instructions to rename a location but the renaming link is not where you claimed it would be.
As it stands, poor weather app unless ads are fixed so they do not cover content.

Feedback Regarding NBC12 First Alert Weather App Interface
Hello NBC12 Weather Team,
I am an iPhone user and a loyal viewer of your station, but I am very disappointed with the recent design update to your First Alert Weather app.Tapping the clock icon now forces me to choose strictly between "Past" or "Future" radar data. The app completely lacks a combined "Past + Future" radar loop, which used to be a seamless feature. Having to manually switch back and forth makes it incredibly frustrating to track active storms moving through Richmond.Please pass this complaint along to your app developer vendor. We really need the continuous, combined past-and-future timeline option brought back.
Thank you.

Traffic map showing wrong location
I use to use the traffic map feature to show me areas of heavy traffic. I live in Dublin California and the traffic map now shows Richmond Virginia. And there is no way to fix it. So the App has become useless.
Traffic
No traffic for outer viewing areas.
Your porformance
As always your report was very good!
Horrible new traffic update
I grew up in Richmond and love this app for its weather alerts and traffic map. However, after years and years of use I’m having to move on to another app. The new traffic update from a month ago only allows for you to view a small area around Richmond, not simply anywhere you. I use this when I travel all up and down the East coast. The actual traffic conditions and hazards don’t load, and even if it did it wouldn’t allow me to look beyond central Virginia anyway. That makes things tough for those of us who commute to NoVa. I hope this gets fixed but if not I’m using something else.

First Alert Weather 12
Fast Weather Update any time you need it.
Keeps shutting off Notifications!
New update is trash. Navigating the app is all different now! Radar jerks and jumps. No point for changing the lay out.
Grateful for channel 12 First Alert weather app
We have DISH and as of a few days ago, we no longer have channel 12. I am so glad I downloaded the 12/ first weather app. Especially today we were able to stay up on the severe weather updates. Thank you channel 12.
Radar
The radar map moves way to fast to keep up with
Accurate
Nowhere can I rely on the weather better than on channel 12
THE CLICKBAIT ADVERTISING HAS CHEAPENED THE APP
I understand that advertising is part of life these days— but your app contains such cheap clickbait ads it's sickening. Then when a station alert comes across you have to sit through one or two stupid commercials. Ridicilulos! The only thing I use the app for is to check the radar or a quick forecast check. I now rely on the My Radar app and Max Velocity on YouTube; y'all have gotten greedy like the rest. SMH….

Ad Overkill
I would love the app were it not for the home page being filled with half a page of ugly advertisements for sagging skin, dementia—yeah, I’m no spring chicken, but I don’t want to be looking at that stuff just trying to get my weather forecast for the day! I feel like we’re back in the 90s with web pages filled with stupid advertisements. :(

New viewers, love show but hate advertising just to view weather on the app.
Love the weather but the advertising makes it hard to get to weather screen.
Up-to-date weather
First Alert keeps the listener informed what’s going on now and what to look forward to the future excellent service
Bad Update!
Why?
Do not like the new update, put it back the way it was.
