Ratings and reviews

Mostly fine, if you like ads. There's this five second ad for Toyota of Hattiesburg every single time you open the app. Even if you have it open in the background and switch back to it, even if it's the only app you have open, it shows the ad. It also doesn't keep any of the cached radar information when switching apps, so it redownloads it every single time. If you're switching back and forth a lot, it's awful. Other than that, the interface is fine, but the ad really sucks.

sometimes it works and it's great when it does but 99.5% of the time it will not load. the radar rarely works and when it does it take so long to get it load and it rarely plays. I've updated it every time it has needed to be, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it made it worse. I love the app idea but it definitely needs a tune-up! I don't have Facebook so i don't get to watch the things that wdam post about the weather on there. this use to be (1-1/2 years ago) my go to for weather.

Fairly accurate radar 99% of the time. The live stream is very, very helpful for tracking severe weather. Very informative. Very satisfied!! Unfortunately, our local stations are out of New Orleans 😕, thank you very much DirecTV! NOT!!!! So WDAM First Alert Weather is the only way to stay informed about our weather. Thank you 😊
