  1. 5/5Thank God For This App

    April 12, 2020 (The Easter Tornadoes) We received our alert in time to wake up our daughter, looker up some windows, and run to the opposite end of our Mobile Home..... In a matter of seconds our home was totally destroyed..... I thank God for this app because the end of the house that my daughter was sleeping on got ripped to shreds! If we hadn’t gotten the alert we wouldn’t have her here with us today and we probably would have been hurt badly..... Keep helping people be safe and prepared

  2. 3/5Weather app

    The app has a few issues. First, it plays commercials before showing the 60-second preview of upcoming coverage, which isn’t helpful when a storm is approaching, and quick updates are needed. Second, when the news team is live, clicking to watch within the app redirects to the WLBT 3 website, where the live stream takes too long to load—again, not ideal during severe weather. Could live updates be integrated directly into the app? Lastly, the in-app radar often differs from other weather apps and even the live broadcast radar, making it unreliable. The one strong point is its alert system—that’s a win.

  3. 1/5Don’t have time to watch it anymore! It’s useless

    I used to rely heavily on this application for a quick 60 seconds overview of the weather forecast, but recently they’ve added commercials that are LONGER than the 60 seconds weather forecast. I simply don’t have time to sit thru the commercials to get to a 60 seconds weather summary. The application is of no use to me anymore. Last Saturday, a horrendous storm passed through our area. I got a notification for an update on the first alert app. I opened the alert and there’s a freakin’ commercial…BEFORE we can see what the heck was happening outside! Keep in mind that we’d lost power, so we were relying on the app and Facebook updates 🤦🏾‍♀️. WLBT simply cannot need revenue bad enough to throw commercials on a 60 seconds weather update.

  4. 5/5Loving the latest update.

    One of my most used apps and one of my oldest apps. I’ve used it across multiple platforms and it’s awesome every single time. The latest update to the radar is perfect. I had the same idea years ago, guess I should’ve sent it to you. (The expand option) Wish I could give you 8 or 9 stars.

  5. 3/5Quality/Performance is starting to suffer

    App used to perform much better; in your attempt to improve and and capabilities your performance is starting to suffer; don't try to excuse this as a network congestion/bandwidth issue; your app is getting bloatwd and performance is suffering; you can't do or be everything to everyone; please focus on providing a high-performing experience with hourly, daily, and radar capabilities; If users want video or marketing clips don't bog down your app because of that...
