WAFF 48 First Alert Weather App Reviews

Download saw the full page ad on start up. Delete.

If youre going to make us look at the ad, at least center it. This really affects the OCD in me. Im sure its optimized for the iPhone 6 but guess what? Not everyone has the 6!

I used to use this daily. But since you put up the full page ad on the opening screen AND you can’t skip it until it’s been up for a few seconds, I’m leaving this app behind. I’ve also found that the radar images don’t match the website radar images. By the way…to the advertiser…You lost me as a customer too.

Go back to the previous graphics for the daily forecast. This new version is harder to read.

Buggy app. Severe video and Live video get unknown errors most of the time. Stopping and restarting the app doesnt help.

Full page ad upon opening app caused me to remove it. Not cool.

Every time you run this app or leave and come back theres a stupid, slow ad.

Tired of watching ads! I downloaded it for news, weather and sports but get bombarded by ads. I understand that ads pay for the app but they went overboard.

Second time Ive typed this due to a glitch in the review system. How fortunate for Raycom! WAFF app is much more user friendly. Actually had to use the knowledge base for the Raycom version. Also, hate the ad at the opening of the Raycom version which Ill be deleting! Only one review showing for the Raycom version is a joke. Dont think we havent noticed! Months ago there were three, then three more, then three more. Deleting reviews is deceptive, especially since the ones we saw were negative. Im staying with Brad and team but not the Raycom app!!

Great app with good content (except for the full screen add), but it needs AirPlay with Apple TV functionality, Google Chromecast support and iOS 9/iPhone 6S Plus optimizations.

If "live" means periodic (to the tune of about once a minute) with a fake radar sweep being drawn in the app (and by the app) which runs way too fast and is far too long compared to the actual Doppler radar that WAFF uses, then youll be pleased. Want to see a neat trick? Zoom out and view the United States. The sweep almost touches the gulf coast. If youre going to mention multiple times a day and night on the air of being the only one in town with a mobile app with live radar, it better be what you say it is. Otherwise, it hurts your credibility. To Brads credit, hes even been polite enough to mention that the data in the app may be about a minute older than actual. Nonetheless, the app continues to be mentioned as having something unique compared to the competition; however, it simply doesnt have what is being peddled everyday on the air.

The storm warning/watch areas show as one big bright red blob over the map so you cannot see details of the map to understand where the storm is actually tracking. Unusable during real weather emergencies. Bad design.

This is a horrible weather app. Wrong more than it is right. Wont load half the time and when it does you cant trust what it says. Its raining right now and the app still says its not going to rain. You cant make plans around the weather if you cant trust your weather app.
