Why do they change the UI!?!
(iPad) Every freakin weather app does the same thing. It’s starts off working great and then slowly evolves into something that’s not natural to read. This app was great for a while on the iPad (it’s good on iPhone), but you can tell it’s starting to become a mess in favor of ad placement. Jeeze, all people want to know is today’s forecast and the upcoming 5 days or so. Why did they change the view so that it wraps down like a web page? They waste space on the screen (they can fit humidity but make you click to another page to read it). They include Friday as a weekend day (Sat/Sun is considered weekend even though Sun is generally the start of a new week). When you bring the app to the foreground it always changes to the current day (annoying). Another app becoming a mess. I guarantee within the next few months we’ll all be looking for another weather app (again). Jeeze, it’s just weather, not a complex spreadsheet! Edit: not long after my review, the developers rolled back the UI changes to the previous style. This is so much easier to read. At least the devs listen to their users. I’m changing my rating from 2 stars to 4. It amazes me how convoluted some app developers make a simple weather app. I’m happy that these devs recognize our frustrationShow lessU84six

I loved this app and talked my husband into using it. The radar is great. Everything is much better than the weather channel app. My only gripe is that the last update changed the 14 day forecast to a view that you have to click on to see the both digits of the temp. While I appreciate all the information, I rarely need that. I’d like the option to use the old view with a horizontal graph of the daily highs and lows. I could then click on a day to see more info if I wanted it. If the old view is not an option, please at least show the days vertically a single line to show both digits of the temps.Show lessPA girl 123

UPDATE 08/24: One of the reasons I loved this app was the weather graph for the 14 day forecast. It was really easy to see the highs and lows for the coming days at a glance. Unfortunately, that has been replaced and you now have to scroll down the page to see what’s coming. For those of us who live in places that get very hot in the summer, the new layout will not show the high temperature for each day. If it is over 100, it won’t fit in the allotted space so you just see 1... This renders the app basically useless for looking at the coming week.
I had the weather channel app for many years, but couldn’t stand how politicized it was and the agendas that were pushed through it. It is a breath of fresh air to have a weather app that is just focused on the actual weather and true news stories. I no longer have to wade through lies and manipulation.Show lessSweaty and Mad
Just Another Weather App
I have had this app for many months now and watch Fox Weather live on TV and my iPhone. Yesterday, the storm coverage and predictions were so far off it should be embarrassing to the National Weather Center, Storm Prediction Center, Meteorologist, and everyone else involved in storm forecasting. The coverage for Wichita, Kansas was completely inaccurate. Schools closed, businesses closed, appointments were canceled and for what. Not one storm, no thunder, no lightning, no tornadoes, no hail. All the coverage was a bunch of fear mongering for clicks and ratings. I’m not saying the app’s technology is any better or worse than any other weather app, it’s comparable. So choose any weather app that’s best for you. What I’m trying to communicate here is that the app for weather prediction is as far off as the weather industry is at serving our communities. It’s become another industry that all Americans are losing trust in as they fail to provide what they promise to their consumer. So just be prepared as our ancestors were and save yourself some time and just walk outside to check the weather.Show lessMigrateNow
Best Weather App
FOX Weather is the weather app I would say the best out there. Their long-range predictions are accurate, even from up to 6 months from the actual date! They don’t ruin everything with some new update, and the layout is nice.
The 3D radar feature is amazing. Really cool feature to have, and that’s a feature most weather paid weather apps have! The future radar could use fixes.
It also lets you view monthly historical data, name locations, and watch FOX Weather Live! This weather app I will definitely have for a while.Show lessYoshisAreCool

Thank you for your amazing review! Your satisfaction is our top priority.Best weather app I have found, since losing Dark Sky App
This app makes me happy and it is my new favorite weather app. Since Apple acquired and ruined Dark Sky- BEST weather app ever (for me), I have tried MANY different apps, and this one comes closest to my meeting my needs of seeing hourly weather and easy to navigate. Accuracy is very important, and I am pleased there too. Wind is very significant in how we feel when outside, if the wind forecast could be easier viewed without scrolling down and looking around, that would make this app better. Thanks for a great app!!Show lessDanVinOhio
Great app!
To Fox weather:
Greetings from a certified storm chaser:)
I'm very impressed with how well thought out your app is as well as your new 3D radar. Hurricane HQ is well designed as well as the layout for the general news & the stories. The only thing I would recommend: having a way for us certified storm chasers to send in severe storm footage through a way to sign in. Ex: having an account for this app. In return however, our names on the footage no exceptions.
If I were able to send real time footage to you with location, not only would it help your company with finding footage, but I could help better get warnings out to the public watching. That is my only goal as a storm chaser.
Btw: you all do a great job on live TV. I watch actively when I'm not chasing. Your channel is the only honest channel regarding weather that acts professional!Show lessMaci M.
Fox-weather
Fox-weather you need to go in your app and you need to improve your app and add the same features that the weatherman has on the screen, and when the weatherman shows real data and the data will actually show up on the Fox Weather app 100% and don’t try to hide the data when the fox weatherman is air and there’s bad weather on the Fox Weather app so I can see the data and see any hurricanes and from any location and it doesn’t matter the data will show up 100% even if it’s by the water or it’s in the middle of the water will see the data 100% and don’t hide a data show it to the people 100% if you care to keep people safe 100% and they can see the data on the on the Fox Weather app
100% and if there’s any tornadoes, you can see that data 100% stop hiding the data 100% on the Fox Weather appShow lessPatrickEbertz
