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.

12 on your side

Channel 12 news they are the best the weather always accurate, and I wouldn’t choose any other give them 12 thumbs up Love This

My Goto Weather App

Best in the Richmond area.

I don’t live on the east coast

Even though I have my location on (and don’t live on the east coast) I get notifications about weather on the east coast.

Short and Sweet

For the RVA / Central Virginia area, this gives you all the weather information you need in an incredibly concise manner. Sure, it starts with an ad, but that’s a small price to pay.

Love it

It’s so much better than the Apple version even though I love Apple but sometimes it’s just wrong and I got this app and it’s so much better than Apple

So meh

Garbage. It looks like it’s just feeding National weather service data like most tv station weather apps. The local weather team doesn’t seem to have any input on the info passed to it.

First alert

This app is so reliable and gives me great feedback!
