Unusable due to ads

I appreciated the vocal announcements of weather alerts and the more accurate reporting than my Apple weather app, but I can’t simply view anything without watching an 18 second ad, just to click the next notification they sent 30 seconds after and have to watch ANOTHER ad. I’m deleting it and will be switching to a better platform.

Dew point

You used to have the dew point available when you first opened the app. Now I can’t find it anywhere. Just the relative humidity is shown. Please bring back the dew point!

Glitching bad after last update

Was excellent. I've had the app about a year. Would give it a 5 star, but this last update will not allow the map to work correctly. It will not load radar. If you get lucky enough to have it load, you can not go forward or repeat, as nothing moves. If you grab the bar to move the radar along, the app closes. Fix it, and you have a 5 star app.

Difficult to read headlines…

I love that you can turn off auto videos, but when I want to see what the headlines are it continues to scroll back to the top. Very frustrating! If you could fix that issue, then I would be thrilled with the app.

It’s ok

It’s nice to have local weather so handy but the radar sucks! I have to use a different app half the time for radar. At that point is it worth keeping this app? Fix the radar!!

A step backward

This was my go to weather app. The most recent update changed the radar portion of the app. Previous version had several customization options including the ability to show Past+Future radar image in a loop. That has been removed and now the Past & Future radar image must be selected separately, not as one seamless loop. Interestingly, with Past selected, the radar image ends as much as 15 minutes before current time while with Future selected the radar image starts as much as 15 minutes after current time so you never have a radar image for the current time. This is a significant downgrade. I’ll be moving on to a different weather app.

First Alert

First Alert is so reliable and so meticulous about any changes in the fast changing weather conditions, we have here in Rochester, N.Y. and surrounding areas. A voice actually comes through, on your phone, even if it’s just next to you. It’s so helpful and I’d say get this app, because they truly are looking out for you~First Alert, can pin point the actual area you are in and let you know ahead of time, to prepare for serious unexpected weather changes. First Alert will be with you wherever you are. This app has exceeded my expectations. First alert has your back. The weather is an amazing force of nature all of its own. It will not compromise, it will not wait a minute until you are done w something. It’s does what it wants, when it wants. First Alert is on the lookout 24/7 for that reason. It helps keep us safe.

What did you do?!

Why did you change it so that the high temp is now on the right hand side? We read left to right… this was unnecessary and frankly, stupid.

Chock full of junk and sleezy ads.

Watch out if you load this app, it is a hornets nest of junk and sleezy ads. There is some very obscure route to see the local weather and to submit photos after pages of legal disclaimers and hundreds of vulturous junk ads. I deleted the ap rather than contaminate my phone. Shame on News10 NBC for this piece of junk.

Crashes, No Video Sound

This app used to be my favorite when it was released. Lately the app crashes constantly, weekly for a day or two. The most current weather forecast video plays but there is never any sound. This has happened since day one. The second video always has sound but it’s already many hours old. Of course, all of the advertisements have sound, of which there are many. This app was supposed to be the top of the line and with the most accurate radar for this area. Come on News 10, you can do better than this.
