WMC5 First Alert Weather App Reviews

Your radar screen is always the same it doesnt work.

After reviewing and trying numerous other apps you have all the features I want and need. Its obvious there has been lots of work put in to designing this app.

Since the last update, the radar is worthless. It never shows rain or anything else, even when the rain is right on top of us. I have to go to the weather channel app to see where the rain is and which direction its headed. If the radar map is to be believed, there is no weather anywhere in the U.S. - ever. Sorry I updated!

While this app does have decent functionality you would never know it by the HORRIBLE, I mean HORRIBLE user interface. I dont know who over at Raycom Media, Inc. approves these designs, not only with the iPhone apps, but the website as well, but they should be FIRED. I wouldnt recommend this app at all. There too many alternatives in the app store that are both free and paid that provide the same functionality. The news and information that you provide is quality, but the digital mechanisms for delivering that content are horrid. Start over and take pride in your work next time.

App isnt designed that great, but the first thing I noticed was that nowhere in the description do you mention that Action News 5 is in Memphis. I know because I live in the viewing area, but others might not. Of course, I guess the only people downloading the app would be those who live in the viewing area like me and would automatically recognize the logo, but it might be a good idea to say where you are. Anyway, thanks for the app. Dave and the Action New 5 WX dept. is known for its exceptional forecasting.

Lots of great information! Glad I have it on a day like today!! 

This app was very helpful during the last major storm. All the info was up to date, the radar was accurate, and it is just easy to use.

I love this app. Its very useful & its normally the first thing I check in the morning. I would LOVE an update so we can have PUSH notifications for severe weather, warnings or watches. I love how the Action News 5 app does push notifications for breaking news, so Id like the same for severe weather. Once thats taken care of, you will have my 5 stars. ^_^

Whats the point of offering a radar app when it crashes during severe weather, when you rely on it the most? Five stars when it is sunny outside, but negative five during a tornado outbreak!!!

This app is impressive - I love the fact that the radar is co colorful. I have never had any trouble with it going off in the midst of a storm. It is extremely accurate. I also like knowing it pinpoints earthquakes. If you download this, take a minute and read the help section. Play around with it before you discard. This is absolutely an app worth keeping!

Radar too small and app shuts down when the back button is pushed.

I liked the app but got tired of the silly breaking news stories so I deleted it off my phone. If the notifications only happened during "REAL" breaking news stories, it would be fine.

It wont let me watch the videos of the latest forecast! I open it and it immediately crashes! Other than that I really like this app!

It tells you everything you need to know about whats going on hourly and during the week it alerts you about any severe weather.

The radar is great until watch boxes are shown, then its hard to see through them. Need a option to turn off the watch boxes.

Freezes up upon opening, takes almost 30 sec to load. Love the watch boxes and alerts, hard to see the map through the watch boxes though. Need ability to turn off or decrease the brightness of the watch boxes. Needs the ability to send alerts bases on the area I live in, I usually only get the general alerts for the Memphis area.

Was working fine. Now it wont launch. Rebooting doesnt help. Ugh!

Update wont install on iPhone 4S. Rebooting phone does work.

Why do I not have sound when watching video on iPhone 4s. So far everything else seems to be fine.

Love this app and the weather alerts. I would like to see a fix so you can see cities on top of the colored radar so you know exactly where the storms are and where they are heading.
