Comments on WECT 6 First Alert Weather for Android

★★★★★ 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

★★★★★ 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!☺️

★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ Michele Vogtman · Feb 1, 2021

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

★☆☆☆☆ cptnjack · Aug 25, 2025

This is a useless app. It's pouring rain outside and the map in the app shows its clear out. This app has lied about rain many times and has proven to be useless. Find another app that shows correct weather.

★★☆☆☆ BB · Jun 22, 2026

Takes several tries of tapping the radar arrow to get it to work. Also, the speed of the maps is way too fast.
