WAFF 48 First Alert Weather Reviews

by Imsaved01

WAFF48FirstAlertWeather used to be awesome!! When you guys updated WAFF48FirstAlertWeather it ruined it!!! It will show it’s raining where I’m at and the sun will be shining or vice versa!! It’s so frustrating!!! I’ve looking to find another app that works better as soon as I do I’m deleting your app!!! I don’t like the graphics you guys changed to either!!! It’s hard to tell where the rain is headed!! Please either switch back to old app or update this because it doesn’t work!!!

I was just about to uninstall WAFF48FirstAlertWeather and was looking for a way to send feedback to the creators and the. Convenient review window pops up. WAFF48FirstAlertWeather itself is great but the constant alerts just to say it’s a good day is so annoying. It’s one thing to give us a heads up if it’s going to rain or storms but good grief. WAFF48FirstAlertWeather pops up and say sunny today but next week it might rain! Wow.. now the review window doesn’t even let you see what you are typing. I’m just going to uninstall it and go back to my whnt app. At least I don’t ha e to look at my phone 20 times a week for WAFF48FirstAlertWeather to tell me it’s sunshine!

The last part of forecast videos are cut off. They are cut off by the exact amount of time that ads play at the beginning of the video. This is EASY to reproduce. So, why have you not fixed it? Is the last 20 seconds of your video not important? Is it filled with useless blather so cutting it off is actually saving me time from useless info? If not, then be a real weather authority, put your viewers safety first, be professional and FIX EASY BUGS.

Had WAFF48FirstAlertWeather for years and it worked fine for IPhone . My software is up to date . Now when I try to open there is stalling out at the face page and it never opens. I rely on WAFF48FirstAlertWeather every day but have to either turn my phone off to reset or I have to delete WAFF Weather app and download it again. Wha happun? Baby come back. Maybe Weather Bug got jealous and did smite?
Sincerely, Tornado Alley.

I have been using WAFF48FirstAlertWeather or at least the original one for years. The original was good. Then it got better. Now after changes that were made last year it is not the worst but it is close. WAFF48FirstAlertWeather used to send notifications faster than any of the weather apps I have installed. Currently it is the slowest one. It doesn’t send warnings until several minutes after the NOAA warnings are sent. A year ago I would receive notifications before NOAA sent out its notifications. Pinpoint notifications are slower too. I was notified this morning about a storm in my location after the storm was moving away. I used to get those before the storm reached my location. Radar maps were changed so that they are not as easy to use also. What ever the developers changed have made this apps less likely to be one I will keep. My family agrees with my assessment too.

by GREAT APP!!👍🏼

I used to love WAFF48FirstAlertWeather but ever since the last update the map is difficult to read with the new colors and contrast. It is impossible to tell where you are on the map because it is so dark and there is no contrast to see roads. Please return the map back to the way it was. All the other features are great and still usable except the map and I RELY ON THE MAP THE MOST!!! I would give the other version 5 stars but since the map is so hard to use and I rely on it the most my rating is very low :(

You guys always tell us to watch the radar to keep up with weather but it isn’t close to accurate. It doesn’t show any rain at my house, the closest is over 50 miles away and it’s pouring. Other recent days it shows my house covered and should be for a good hour or so but the sun is shining and nothing. One day you even did a video showing all these storms 20 miles away heading right at us, nothing.

I have always always loved WAFF48FirstAlertWeather. It’s always been my #1 go to app for weather but for some reason now 95% of the time it pops “this application not available in your location”. And won’t even let me open it. Even if I didn’t live in the location it still shows tropical stuff brewing everything. It use to never do this & I haven’t moved. I’m still in the area for WAFF48FirstAlertWeather . It has done this all morning actually & as I write this review I went back to it & now it’s working. It makes no sense. Whats more aggravations is when it does it during a storm like the other night. Although when I’m able to use it, it’s an amazing app. Like I said, it’s my favorite weather app to use.

Find new promise some of thunderstorms and not see a cloud in the sky at the time you say that’s gonna be
What do you call a wolf call about going to have bad weather and have absolutely nothing something wrong there that seems crazy to look at my weather report on Friday Saturday or changeHow many ten-day forecast is a complete jag sometimes I go to bed thinking it’s going to storm the next morning and don’t have a drop of rain that’s weird or vice versa

I enjoy WAFF48FirstAlertWeather and have used it for years. I miss the feature on the Live Broadcast of it playing the most recent broadcast when Love is not available. This was a nice feature to get a detailed weather report when I was not able to view it at the time it was being aired. Please bring this option back. Thanks.

I used to love WAFF48FirstAlertWeather.... I downloaded this because it covers my local area (North Alabama). When I started watching the severe weather coverage today, it started up in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa area. Then swapped to the middle eastern Mississippi area, then cover some of Myrtle Beach, SC, then the Huntsville area came in and out. What happened? That’s about as useful as a pocket on the back of a t-shirt! It’s as if WAFF48FirstAlertWeather has merged with other organizations and made a constant live stream of the SE of the United States. If I knew that I would’ve just downloaded the weather channel app. Is this the new format from now on?

by Jhglover

This is my favorite WX app, however, after last update, app would open, then immediately close. Simply deleting app then reinstalling it fixed the problem... works fine now without problems.

great app for the most part. I prefer WAFF48FirstAlertWeather over the pre-installed Weather app. THE ONLY THING I WOULD LOVE that would make this a 5 star app is a widget for the notification screen. it can't be too hard to do since almost 90% of the apps on my phone, even some games, come with widgets. I'd just like to take a glance at the weather instead of always having to open WAFF48FirstAlertWeather

This is and awesome app to have where you can look at radar and see before it’s too late to take precautions . You can view it when your not around a TV .

by FG_BotBrad

I like it. When they tell you what the weather is gonna do, instead of guessing and getting it wrong like channel 19 or 11 or weather channel.

by Yrwot

Have had on my phone and iPad until recently. Live just over the Al/Tn state line and kept receiving a message that it could not service this area. Called the station, had to leave a message concerning the problem. Of course I did not hear back for anyone....so I deleted WAFF48FirstAlertWeather and looking at another station’s weather report.....you snooze you loose customers.

by Lol Willie

My app is upside down and will not correct so you must turn the phone upside down to view the data. It has worked well until today so I’m changing to 32 weather app.

by The Bank Lady

This is the ONLY weather app I have on my phone! We are up & outside very early only after I check our weather. We appreciate all of the great features of WAFF48FirstAlertWeather!!

WAFF48FirstAlertWeather provides timely weather information but runs patrons through the same advertising each time it is accessed.
During dangerous weather this delays access to important information while one waits 5-10 seconds viewing advertising that has already been viewed.

by Southern Gunslinger

I like WAFF48FirstAlertWeather. It gives me great information . My only problem is one that started about a month ago. When you click on WAFF48FirstAlertWeather it takes awhile to come on. Sometimes it will not come on. I deleted it and reloaded it hoping that would help but so far no. I think it had developed a glitch that needs tweaking .

by Heyhappiness

I’m having the same problem recently with my First Alert weather app. Most of the time I get the not available in your current location! Why? What’s going on there with WAFF48FirstAlertWeather? It’s always been so reliable and accurate, now not so much! Would appreciate some feedback.

by Kels13J15

The “warning” boxes are so dark you can’t even see the radar. So then you have to take the extra time to turn off the “warnings” on the radar. This doesn’t help the situation, especially if you are unfortunately basing most of your alerts off WAFF48FirstAlertWeather. I know you aren’t suppose to but sometimes you don’t have a choice either. I just feel it could be more user friendly.

I used WAFF48FirstAlertWeather regularly for a couple of years. It was reasonably dependable. However, it’s gotten to where it stays locked up and unresponsive 1/2 the times I try to access it despite several attempts to reload and reconfigure it. Being a “first alert” it should be dependable above everything else. And yes, I agree that the intrusion and delays introduced by the advertising is substantially more annoying than other apps in its class.

by Tbengland

Get an alert? 30-45 seconds of ads.

Want to look at the radar? 15 second splash screen of ads.

Tornado warning? Here’s an ad about the Bible. That’s not ominous, right?

Get it together WAFF. Your app is an ad-ridden mess, slow, and easily the most obnoxious and useless weather app. I’d love to have some kind of local weather information, but seeing as you make it as difficult as possible, I will continue to have to use some other app.

by Woebegame

App is slow to load, especially radar, which sometimes won’t load at all. You can’t rely on daily wind info, as it doesn’t match hourly, and precipitation is often off from daily to hourly also. Looks like no one ever checks for errors like this. Unreliable.

by Waff2019

I’ve been using WAFF48FirstAlertWeather for a long time and loved it. Now I can’t see a way to turn off the overlay that has the watches layer and it obliterates the radar. I prefer to see what’s actually on top of me rather than a big red blob telling me I’m in a storm watch area.

by Spoonbillshoveler

Downloaded WAFF48FirstAlertWeather to access current weather information. The ads load really quick but the weather content does not.

I used to go to WAFF48FirstAlertWeather first thing each morning to prepare for the day. Now I just go occasionally to check and see if they restored the features I liked. in WAFF48FirstAlertWeather . I used to be able to see the forecast by the hour including chances of rain. Of course it wasn't always right, but it gave me a pretty clear picture for the day. Now I only get two or three statistics so I go to a rival App for the same information I used to get from WAFF. Hope you restore what you used to have. Until then I'll use another app and just check back with you occasionally.

As promised, 5 stars for fixing WAFF48FirstAlertWeather so it works again. Couldn’t edit my last review, so adding this one.
