What did you do?

I used to love your app, especially when we we on the beach and a storm was coming. Great to know which way things are heading. But now -- that obnoxious ad at top volume! No way. Get rid of that or at least make it no volume.

OH NO NO NO!

I gave WMBFFirstAlertWeather 5 stars before but now only 1 at best for this latest update! It is so difficult to read! The previous version was so colorful & clear. This update has black/gray & light blue backgrounds with white thin lettering! I wished I never updated I want the graphics of the older version back pleasssse! Or at least reverse colors to black lettering on white or lighter background. Don't update before looking at the new interface!

BOO HOO!!!

This new app is MUCH harder to use than the previous version. It is "clunky" and the information is much harder to access. Miss having the map, current weather, and alerts on one easy-to-use screen. Bring back the previous version!!

New But Not Improved

This new Version is too difficult to use! Too much swiping. And it's ugly and difficult to read. The old version was much easier brighter and better.

Storm tracker

Pretty accurate reporting. Was very good for tracking storms, hurricanes, tornado warnings. But if you want to track weather now you have to listen to the advertising over and over. For me, no good reason waste time listening to ads all day.

Use to he VERY good, what happened l?

Have used the Weather app for years. Not sure when it happened but now it doesn’t open. I’ve deleted and reloaded and that hasn’t helped. Hi lease fixb

Great design, not accurate temps

Great design and user friendly but the weekly temperatures were always completely inaccurate. Not just a forecast error, but WAY off, like saying the high was 80 and the low was 85. Their weekly forecast was sometimes a 10-15 degree difference from other weather sites.

Annoying ads all over, no landscape mode

I do not like the new format of WMBFFirstAlertWeather. Annoying ads in the middle of list displays, can't turn them off. Landscape mode rotation doesn't work well; at best you lose navigation icons, at worst it doesn't respond to ipad rotation.

Okay maps but don't rely on video

Maps are good but not sure why they don't update the weather videos in a weather app. If you need to see a video forecast that's three days old then this is WMBFFirstAlertWeather for you!! Ridiculous in the day and age.

Nice one!

Well done! The Weather Channel app was getting tiresome

Needs ios 7

WMBFFirstAlertWeather Is good and all, but I think it needs to be updated for ios 7 for better looks. It also needs an update for the beach round refresh. It always has to restart the whole app when I go and check something for a few seconds. Other than that, WMBFFirstAlertWeather's pretty good for checking whether updates and warnings. πŸ‘

Great but...

WMBFFirstAlertWeather is great but when you want to watch the daily weather update by the meteorologists then it makes you watch 15 SECONDS OF ADS FOR EVERY VIDEO!

Good but one improvement needed

WMBFFirstAlertWeather is good, way better than weather channel. I'm local but I like you can get weather for any location. I just wish they would use google map w/o satellite view instead of what they have. It would be easier to see roads and determine location if it was a a map and not satellite view.

Freezing up

WMBFFirstAlertWeather is Great, I use it a lot. But, when I'm on the radar screen and push home it will always freeze up. If not for that WMBFFirstAlertWeather is the best weather app for my area out there.

My go-to weather station

Always accurate!

Weather App

The WMBF app is the first place I go to for instant information on weather. The alerts warn me of excessive rain, heat, freeze warnings etc. I prepare my day around this info. Always pretty accurate.

Very great

Very nice and useful. It is easy to use and very clean. Hasn't crashed on me yet. (knock on wood)

Review

I enjoy the information but you did not send an alert

Great App!

Love using First Alert app on my phone to stay up to date with the weather!

Don't update!

Wish I had kept the old version! This was not too well planned out! Please work on improvements ASAP!😟
I was able to reinstall the older version! Yeah!!!
