1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Need to learn how to predict weather. Really really need to learn how to predict weather 97 out of 100 times they are wrong. Same as ABC 33/40 and James Spann

2. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Ads make the videos almost unusable. In the title

3. ★★★★★the strategic monetization miss

   Pay walls and Ads. WBRC used to provide minimal ads and paywalls, but now the Birmingham area could be overrun by terrirists while being blown away by a tornado during a minus 100 degree weather system before you can get to the news and weather. I’m done!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Just want the radar !. Stop all the complications and ads. Dang.

5. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Bad App. Does nothing but crash as soon as I open it. Over and over and over. Don’t even want to give it one star. Pure trash.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not trusted. The station openly supports BLM as shown by their social media posts celebrating BLM Month. An unbiased organization would not do such things, I have deleted the news app and weather app due to this.

7. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Garbage. For someone that works outside all day everyday. That looked to this app consistently for a month. The forecast IS wrong every single time. Its not accurate. Its a different forecast every 15-20minutes. I dont even understand why it lets you see the “future” forecast of what’s supposed to come if it changes.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ad generator. Mainly for ad revenue. Screen is wayyy too busy.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Trash. These are the apps they tell us to rely on but they are garbage.

10. ★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…

    Worst app ever. Downloaded app to get weather info. Mainly consists of ads. You can’t get through even one weather update video without multiple ads. I deleted it 10 minutes later. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Shame on you Fox 6. These things are supposed to be for weather news, not another income stream…..

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Scam Adds. Constant scam adds. I thought Fox 6 cared about people but I guess capital is the root of all.

12. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads. This weather app is not good enough to sit through a 2 minute ad every video……humble yourself cause the weather channel is better and doesn’t require me to sit through ads

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App needs improvement!. Since the new design for the app has been added it doesn’t show a lot of times because big adds are covering the entire screen and other times the app just closes abruptly without any warning. Please fix these bugs in the app because people need to be able to check weather throughout the day due to storms.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    WBRC fox 6 weather app. I’ve been using the app for months and the volume control is horrible. Even from person to person in the studio the volume will change drastically from one person to another. Second. When watching LNL Their sister company. ( LNL ). Local news live. With hundreds of stations across the U.S. the same news is on daily. Talking about a fire that happened two years ago in charlotte North Carolina. Plus fentanyl in Hawaii. Overall not a good app.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Love the app. I can hear the ads but not the weather. What’s that about?

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not Reliable Anymore. This use to be the best radar app, but now it is so glitchy. The radar doesn’t load. I have to close and open the app multiple times in order to finally get it to load. It’s the same on Wi-Fi and cellular. Please fix this issue and bring it back to the best radar app.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ruined the radar. The last changes have absolutely ruined the radar. Please correct it.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Weather radar. Radar does not show more often than it appears. Past and future view is wonderful when it works but useless if there is no radar.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ads. I cant get to the eminent weather news for having to wait on the ads to finish . Also i am not seeing right now / current info on approaching storm .

20. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    The app is so glitchy!!!!. It won’t cast or airplay without causing me a headache! The app can’t be downloaded to my Vizio smart tv!!!! I want my News! Please fix the slow viewing! Fix the app so it can be played on Vizio smart tv’s!!!! The app will barely play on my phone. Fix it to where I can see the news without trying to watch on my phone or cast or airplay and I’ll give 5 ⭐️’s!!!

21. ★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…

    Useless voice alerts. Why did Wes’ voice come on to tell me it stopped raining? I can tell that by looking out the window! There needs to be a way to turn him off and keep weather alert tones on. Deleting the app until that’s fix (or easier to fix in settings because I can’t figure it out)

22. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Always inaccurate. Every time a major storm is coming in I will look at the radar every 5 minutes and they will have the storm front moving northeast and have you thinking that the bad stuff will miss your home but every single time it always shifts last second and hits can’t who ever runs this app be more accurate than this

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ty. Wes talks all day

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad presentation. The screen is in a 3 divide. Tiny pictures

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Y’all really don’t know weather. Y’all claim storm. Or first alert weather and nothing happen. Can’t believe y’all can’t setup your day or nite off what y’all say about rain. It really feels like y’all guess. But here’s my problem. If I mess up at work I have to answer for it. Y’all act like you never said it.

26. ★★★★★the strategic monetization miss

    Used to be great. Used to be a great app. Now you get full screen ads that take forever to skip and are sometimes in Spanish. It’s the same on the Fox 6 weather app too. God help you if you’re checking the weather in a hurry because you got an alert in the middle of the night.

27. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads. Too many ads and commercials

28. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    New Weather Person (Lauren). If we could give it a 0 star, we would! She sounds like she knows her weather, but she definitely needs a makeover!! We can’t look at her; usually change the channel when she is on. We love Wes, Mickey, and Jill & think they are great!!

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Was great until…. Stop with the cutesy updates from Lauren. No one needs those cluttering the Notification Center. I want notifications of actual weather issues, not constant stupid warnings that it might be chilly tomorrow.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Tell me the announcement.. Tell me the announcement. Don’t just say a new message from .. then this last was a bunch of crap. It said you’d be surprised about the rain forecast for the week. TELL ME - I drive and don’t always want to dtopbb my and read.
