Excellent app easy to do the weather at any city or town, either hourly or a 10-day view. Update 4 years later: still five stars, this is my go-to app for weather wherever I am in the world.

Usually pretty accurate when I check the weather. I just wish when I put in Security, it wouldn't throw me into Colorado Springs.
★★★★★Christine Riggins Tanner· Apr 2, 2025
I lived in Colorado Springs for 26 years and first alert has always been the most reliable. I moved away in 2018 and still use this weather app in Oklahoma. For me, it's the only weather app I will use
★★★★★laura Taylor· Jun 15, 2024
Depend on this app daily. My job is primarily performer outdoors. I start my day looking at it. It keeps me safe. I feel prepared and informed, so critical living in our wonderful Oklahoma.
★★☆☆☆Philip Roy· May 29, 2026
Dropped to 2 stars from 5. I mainly use this app for the radar and whatever changes they made several months ago is horrible. Confirmed with my wife that is mostly unusable now for figuring out where storm cells are moving. I think it's because there's 30 minutes between frames. That's too much time. I use this app (or used to use this app) to watch the powerful storm cells, and now I see them jump across the city making it unusable. Time to find another app.

This used to be a great app but after the update yo can no longer see what the DuPoint is, so I will be deleting the app and getting my weather by some other means
★☆☆☆☆Georgia Wolters· Jun 24, 2024
Change the "pull-down" view back to having a large temperature view that could easily be seen without reading glasses! The new view is a tiny number in a green circle. Just horrible change.
