Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Chooses Ads Over Safety — This channel is the most trusted one in the area for severe weather and they know it. Nonetheless, they put 30 second unskippable ads on every video in the app. Tornado warning goes off. Sirens in my neighborhood…”
“Too many commercials — They should rename this app First Alert Commercials with a little news and weather thrown in.”
