This app is 6767 rizzy bruh
Update ruined radar
This app used to be great but the update has ruined the radar options.
Fix the 24 hour futurecast feature
Everything works great. I’ve just noticed the last month or so, the 24 hour futurecast only shows radar up to a certain point and then lags. My app is up to date and it doesn’t matter if I’m on WiFi or using phone data. It does it anyway. Please fix.
Is there any way to remove the ads? Horrible experience
The app would be great if it weren’t for the draining ads. They overheat my phone and absolutely destroy the app functionality. I can barely use the app because of all the pop ups. I use this to keep safe during storms, but I can’t even keep up with anything with all the ads. I’m desperate enough to want a ‘get rid of ads’ option.
Accurate weather; Scam ads
The accuracy of the weather forecast on this app is good, but the whole app is covered in fraudulent, scam ads.
The best app ever
This is the best app ever on my phone I love how y’all prepared for storms like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, which we just had them on Monday and Tuesday not very much on Monday but a lot on Tuesday, please make more videos. I really wanna see what’s happening and I live in Memphis so yeah
Advertising Opportunity
Just another opportunity for revenue for the TV Station.
Notifications
The app is fine. It’s exactly like the competition’s app which is good also. It’s the amount of talking on a weather alert that both annoys and amuses me. We don’t need to hear every time “This is Chief Meteorologist blah”. Time could be of the essence with these weather alerts. Imagine having an ego so large you have to let your viewers hear your name and title when a tornado could be seconds away from blowing them away. The competition just states the alert which is all we need or want to hear.
Alerts don’t work!!!!
Since the last update, I do not get any verbal notifications. Also, when you go to turn alerts on the map none of them show up. There’s a lag even though the app is connected to the Internet just needs to be fixed. I’ve used this app for more than 10 years and now it’s barely functional.
That is not 24 hours
Why can the “24 hour” radar only go halfway on the bar before the radar stops
So good
This app has everything you need for the weather
First alert
I’ve never seen a station get such a hard on when it’s raining 150 miles from Memphis!! Don’t Mississippi and Arkansas have weather stations? Ron you bought your wife those new boobs are they not covering her bad breath or does it smell that bad south of her waist line? Cause you get a hard on when it thunders and don’t let us what we pay for! So something with what you paid for on Joyce
Radar needs improvement
The old radar system was a lot more user friendly and easier to understand new update is not good
Waylon
This app can be good but it can also be a pile of peanut butter dog licking maggot chewing piece of kitty litter because it comes in handy but it also does it at the wrong time so it’s mid and that’s why I gave it three stars.
Keeps me alerted
The first alert weather keeps my family safe from the storm
Black screen only!
I open your app and the radar is a black screen with only the location dot and supplement pieces with no map. It’s been doing this for some time. I’ve had your weather app since I got a smartphone many years ago, but no longer!
Best to worst
This app was my favorite travel app. Not only for weather wherever I was at, but especially for the Traffic part of the app. The Traffic part now ONLY works for Memphis - no more checking the roads for where I’m at, where I’m going, or for my daughters traveling on the road. For this loss of functionality, giving it 2 stars.
Slow
Very slow waiting for it you want make sure we see the advertisement I don’t like that think I will use WREG
Weather
I love this app! It keeps my family safe and helps us plan.
Fake weather forecast.
This app is not a legit weather forecast.
Disappointed
Not happy with new upgrade. Don’t fix what’s not broken! I had it set, don’t like the way it looks
Apps needs improving
I really like The Action News 5 weather app. But open the satellite map is not updating. Also, often the app will not work on my phone or my smart tv. The videos are not updating in a timely manner either. There needs to be some sort of update to fix these bugs.
Snow day
Kept us updated on snow
DL
To hard and too long to get the info
Video’s
Can’t get videos to play.
No weather in US
Your weather app has been an important part of my daily information source. So many days lately, your weather radar map shows NO weather at all over the US. That’s why I have had to depend on other sources for my weather fix.
Louisiana is a beautiful state
We have a weather forecast that varies widely across parts of the state
Alerts not for my location
Not sure why my alert videos are from ark/ la when I have my location set for s Florida
Video forecasts
Need to make multiple videos easier to watch. Confusing.🫤
Radar Glitching
Please fix the radar it is very inconsistent at times
First alert
Had been using accuweather for a while glad to be back. Need to add rainfall totals on hourly forecast. Keep up good work and be safe in good ol mempho
Glitchy
I’ve use this app for years and I loved it. The last three or four weeks I can’t get the radar to work properly it flashes on and off. They seem to be having some problems with it.
Does not show weather for my location!
Please fix my glitch with this app!
My review
I love first alert weather this app is amazing
Bad App
This weather app used to be great, now it’s trash.. it’s never consistent and doesn’t give you a clear forecast. It has gotten my hay wet more than what I like, so I don’t recommend it at all!
Weather
Why don’t weather people look outside before they forecast current conditions. Sun shining yet forecast is clouding & rain. So frustrating!
Great App
Works perfect !
Poor service
After an automatic update, the system will not run the radar loop. I have to back out, close it, reopen and relaunch each time. I have tried to delete and reload it, but it still doesn’t work. I used the weather channel app, it has the same radar, just not able to set notifications and color on it.

I get too many every day. Back to back to back. Lisa F . Walls,Ms.
