KLTV First Alert Weather Reviews

by 42bean

I have your app to warn me of tornadoes in the middle of the night. I do not need notifications for when the international space station will be overhead, nor what the forecast is for the local high school football game, nor for a look at my a weekly planner, especially at 6:41 am. These contrived notifications make your app worthless.

Please change KLTVFirstAlertWeather back to previous status. You can no longer see where the bad weather is because of watches and warnings. It’s awful! Because of this I no longer use your app! Whoever decided to make these changes to apparently make it better is an idiot!

I used KLTVFirstAlertWeather multiple times daily and loved it for years. Now it is almost too frustrating to even open. Found an online site that shows the same with the warnings and watches easily distinguishable. What a shame the people who decided to change it, doesn’t care about its users. No way could any human being think this is easier to read or is better functional than the old one. Pretty sure no one cares and nothing will be done. But at least I submitted my review. Time will tell, not holding my breath.

Seriously there is a tornado in my area and to watch the live stream I have to view an ad first? Seconds matter. I could die before this stupid app even opens. Almost useless with the new color scheme, blocks out the actual radar. Used to love KLTVFirstAlertWeather but now it is riddled with ads that slow it down, waste data, and make it mostly useless. Not able to view weather like you need to.

It’s a basic weather app that loves sending notifications of every rain shower in the country. I finally had to turn notifications off after waking up to 10 notifications over a 6 hour times span. Not one had anything to do weather within 500 miles of me!

I love KLTVFirstAlertWeather. I love being able to see the forecast and checking the radar when things get dicey. However, it is incredibly annoying to click on the live stream and see morning news at 11 o’clock at night. It happens way too often and it isn’t helpful when storms are bearing down on us. If there’s no one there, fine (I understand that y’all don’t live in the studio), but please stop “live” streaming morning news when it is no longer relevant.

Everything was great then suddenly KLTVFirstAlertWeather updated & now if there are any watches or warnings for a county you can’t see the actual radar to know what the rain is looking like. Right now there’s tornado watches across the map so it’s all pink & you have to look extremely hard to see the radar images. That’s with the max transparency. There was nothing wrong with the map before & now it’s just awful. Please, please go back to the way it was.

I’ve removed all hurricane and oceanic type weather alerts in KLTVFirstAlertWeather but continue to receive them. Immensely frustrating to say the least. It’s a good app for getting local weather and those types of alerts. I would say remove hurricane type alerts completely or at least fix the alerts so the deselected ones do not get pushed out. Thanks.

Since last update app is unresponsive and crashes

by €^•¥*#\'-:"

For some reason KLTVFirstAlertWeather has been freezing up. KLTVFirstAlertWeather screen appears but the info doesn’t download. This is the 2nd time I’ve deleted and reinstalled KLTVFirstAlertWeather .
Let’s hope whatever caused this bug gets fixed soon. Sunny skies ahead.

Not to be that guy when the the world outside is in a hellscape of storms and you warn of a tornado warning the last thing I have time for when trying to learn more is a stupid ad for something that's so far from my mind...

by CarbonFiberSwan

I like KLTVFirstAlertWeather . I prefer using it. But I just noticed today that most of the data showing on my phone is different from the data showing on my friends phone. Both using the same app, but updated. It makes me lose any trust that the forecasts are accurate when the same app is showing different data for the same location... what’s up with that?

Otherwise a 5 star app

Update made app go from 5 star to 3 star. Now every time I open KLTVFirstAlertWeather . I have to go to overlays and turn of lightning strikes. Then go to another screen and turn off 6 warning types. Just to be able to see the radar and where the tornados are . Went from life saver to life threatening !

by LisaMC80

Have to wait through too many ads to see the weather. Also the future cast videos go really fast and it does not let you rewind the future cast videos, so instead I have to watch them over and over (plus all the ads again and again) to try and pin down the time the storm is supposed to hit my city.

by Jasongillean

New update has ruined the radar function. The watches and warnings are so dark on the map that you can’t see the actual storm. Please change it back there was nothing wrong with the old style.

by Texas Xenagirl

I wish there were a way to slow radar tracking. It moves so fast I can’t use it to see how long conditions may last in my area. Please offer this option in Settings.

by Hoollyy

I love KLTVFirstAlertWeather & like how I can watch it live and hear and keep up with the latest, but I’m never able to listen to videos you have to replay. I’ve had several phones since I first downloaded KLTVFirstAlertWeather & it’s not worked with any of them.

by Porkandhoss

Last week I could read the Yantis weather with mark snd the others but now it’s all changed . I hate it like this.

by Abmay

Great having daily, 10 day, hourly and radar all in one place! FYI...if you recently upgraded and KLTVFirstAlertWeather is crashing...delete and re-install. Fixed it for me. 😊

by Jeanbean103

I can’t believe how much this works for east Texas! It is always accurate and user friendly. Keep up with the awesome new updates!

by Cvgjnvmkmncmc

I can’t seem to connect without WiFi...which seems peculiar since you may need it when power and/or WiFi is out.

Also, no sound plays while video is playing.

I am getting so many commercials and I can’t see the radar and see past and future movements due to these pestering commercials. I have always looked to Mark Scirto and his team but KLTVFirstAlertWeather is driving me to find some other weather app that I can trust.

by ReneePat1975

If there is ANY way to take the mandatory commercials off when there is severe weather that would be great! I am trying to find about the tornado warning & have had to watch 2, 15 second commercials. That is not safe AT ALL for the residents in the listening area!

Your preview images for KLTVFirstAlertWeather are incorrect. The background colors in the radar section are black and white, not green, making it more difficult to see.

This is a very good app you cannot only check the weather for your local area but all over the country it also includes weather alerts for any area but the new verision will not load on ios
