Review signals only — 1 user-reported signal — from user reviews, not yet audited by Appworthy.

What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Aggressive ad load
Trash — Radar never works. Too many ads.
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.
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
