Comments on WECT 6 First Alert Weather for Android

★★★★★ Nancy Schultz · Aug 19, 2020

I love WECT, their news anchors are great! You feel like you know them personally ! I keep the weather app on my phone because they are always on point!☺️

★★★★★ Geoff Stalker · Apr 14, 2020

Excellent. I will say the meteorologists at this station are accurate with the weather forecasts & right on target with rain chance percentages per day. A very reliable team of meteorologists. Keep up the good work.

★★★★★ Betty Matthews · Jun 24, 2020

It's a good app to see what the weather is or what the temp in your area is and a good weather app for storms too

★★★★☆ Terri Richardson · Jun 5, 2024

Have been using the app for years but with the latest update, there is no dew point showing on the page anymore?? When I check the help button on what's new, the dew point shows but not on my own screen.

★★★★☆ G Garvey · Dec 7, 2020

. Love Gannon Med wick. One of the very best METEOROLOGIST around. He is right on the money with his forecast. Not uptight, but very upbeat. He keeps a smile, where others are just.... The other Meteorologist are good.

★★☆☆☆ Michele Vogtman · Feb 1, 2021

I had to get a different weather app. This on takes forever to load. If it loads. Frustrating

★☆☆☆☆ Michelle Akins · Jan 24, 2026

New version of the app has the play button on the radar not working properly. It takes several tries to get it to play and even more tries to stop it!

★☆☆☆☆ Brady Ludlum · Oct 4, 2020

This is one of the sorriest app that they have in the Google Play Store we had a tornado warning a while back, and I was watching Ellen DeGeneres on WECT and so help me Lord they never broke in and told nothing the tornado warning was on top of us before we can even get out the house, a sorry app
