WTOC First Alert Radar Reviews

by Dactylon

Feel WTOCFirstAlertRadar is lacking lately. Seems to me that the hourly and daily forecast do not jibe to often anymore. Makes things confusing when using WTOCFirstAlertRadar for work related things. Could be just me?

Good weather app. But had to remove app cause of its very intrusive ads. Much too difficult reading the weather because of full page pop-up ads.

WTOCFirstAlertRadar continually informs me I must connect to wifi even though I am connected. It should use my data regardless. Will not pull up radar...when I need to see what’s happening with the weather it would be nice to have an app that works!

Don’t understand how the news app is optimized but the weather app isn’t. Will change rating once it’s optimized for both the iPad and iPhone X, until then will delete and use another weather app for local support. Smh, again news app decent and optimized weather app nope. Makes sense right.

WTOCFirstAlertRadar is very slow. Takes forever to load anything. I also hate when I click away from it for 5 seconds, reopen WTOCFirstAlertRadar , and it reloads everything. Which then takes me another 5 minutes to get back to where I was. So annoying. I really like the alerts and thing they are definitely a plus. Really the only reason I’m giving it 3 starts. It also takes forever for any videos to load.

I gave WTOCFirstAlertRadar a 4 star because many times the radar portion doesn’t work. Forecasts are good, and weather alert updates are great. Sometimes the radar just shows “???” And will not show rain or clouds. So I actually have 4 weather apps on my phone because they all have the same tendency.

App is riddled with ads and the gps always has a problem finding location. Anytime you try to view a forecast video it plays an annoying ad video or commercial

My go to site for al my weather info. Accurate, concise, and informative! None better than the WTOC weather team!

I really suggest WTOCFirstAlertRadar . WTOCFirstAlertRadar is so good. I use WTOCFirstAlertRadar a lot.I hope you injoy it!

I use the weather app multiple times a day before I take my dog for a walk to be prepared for whatever the weather will be. I also use it to see what the weather is for my relatives around the country and to track big storms coming our way.

I rely on this weather app

by Sandy From South Carolina

This is the best weather app, it was exact even in Ohio. Thank you Savannah Georgia for this wonderful app!!!!!

I highly rate it. Covers every facet of the unpredictabilities of weather. Anticipates the vagaries of Mother Nature, especially storms. Clearly lays out what to expect from good to bad weather conditions. Those at WTOC who watch the weather conditions are consummate professionals who work to give viewers all the necessary information in order to make their own decisions about whether to venture out with umbrellas or to leave them at home. Being informed is better than guessing.

After getting acquainted with the new format I see it is an improvement and I really like it

by Bubbs A

Love the fact that it’s so simple to use. Use to use another station’s, but they made it so complicated. Love the yours is a simple click Thanks

Allows you to have a few ways of checking on the weather

I lived in Bluffton SC eight years and learned to depend on this channel for alerts and up-to-date weather bulletins. I now live in VA and it is still my favorite weather app. Thank you for your work to keep us safe!!

I can ALWAYS count on WTOC‘s weather forecasts and the great radar! If I wonder if a storm is approaching, I first look at the radar, then the hourly forecast, then watch the news clips. I watch the morning news, then I’m away from my TV. My WTOC weather app keeps me informed!

by SharAug47

Awesome radar and app worked wonderfully I was in Florida and WTOCFirstAlertRadar let me use the radar for the local areas and helped keep me safe. Which I didn’t know WTOC app lets you track weather in other states and areas and just uses your location to find the radar.

The latest update has killed WTOCFirstAlertRadar. It won’t even open now

by That1longhairedguy

I liked his app back when it worked. Now after this last update it won’t play any of the videos and the weather map doesn’t load or play at all.

by Dot 71

Had to remove app because my phone is too old for the latest app update. Very upset because I do use WTOCFirstAlertRadar all the time.

by Rickinsav

The most annoying thing with WTOCFirstAlertRadar is getting “Weather Alerts” constantly for areas that are HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY! Every time I clear the notification, it pops back up. So my only choice is to turn off notifications altogether for WTOCFirstAlertRadar - which is ridiculous - because what to do if there is an actual emergency? Annoying.
Weather info is nice, radar is good. Ads are annoying.
The way WTOCFirstAlertRadar is laid out makes it feel that it isn’t optimized for the iPhone 5 screen (but it is). I don’t like hating on a local business’s app but it needs improvements.

WTOCFirstAlertRadar loads slow on my 3Gs, opens to the map which has the 3 day forcast so small it is hard to read (no resizing option). There is no ability to select a different home view. The 10 day forecast overlaps and 1/2 the days are covered.

by Whf579

The rain chances change so dramatically in such a short period of time. One minute you can have an 80% chance of rain for the next day - a few hours later there is only a 20% chance. That's not forecasting, that's guessing.

by Bmanmcg

WTOCFirstAlertRadar does exactly what I need it to; give accurate UP TO DATE radar on a clean, zoomable map, with an animation option. I use TWC Max for most of my daily weather info. But one thing it lacks is up to date radar which can sometimes be as much as an hour behind. If a storm is in the area its nice to have the most recent images... where it was 45min ago doesn't help. App opens immediately to live radar so I don't even have to select anything. It also doesn't support multitasking which I prefer so it automatically refreshes with the most current info.

I love WTOCFirstAlertRadar but wish when ever you get an alert for lighting you can change it to an notification alert beep not a voice that say "lightning has been detected in your area" because sometimes it will ring at 3 am and scare me half to death. And also WTOC your video player sometimes doesn't work but it might be me so maybe you won't need to change it.

Great little app. I downloaded it to keep an eye on severe weather today and have not been disappointed. Other weather apps tend to give me warnings late, whereas this one seems to give them right when they're issued, which is important when tornadoes are involved!

by Lil Big Smoke

Why I think the reason why this it the best app for you is because WTOC frost alert keeps you updated on every thing and also is the most accurate also first alert tells you when you need prepare and how to when to take shelter. They're always there

by Voigttt

WTOCFirstAlertRadar is awesome, props to you guys. I love how I can see the radar, cloud coverage, wind speeds, ect. The hourly forecast is highly accurate as well. All from my current location. You did great!
