Can you fix the audio bleed from commercials when trying to watch the video weather updates? It’s REALLY annoying. Thanks ### 2/5 — Review of Weather app *2024-07-26, version 5.15.411* It’s okay, nothing special. Would rather have NOAA weather app ### 2/5 — Ads ruin it *2024-04-12, version 5.13.804* This use to be my favorite weather app and didn’t mind the small ads but now you’re hit with full page/screen ads. I’m back to searching for a less in your face ad weather experience… ### 3/5 — One run-on sentence *2023-09-19, version 5.10.504* The Vystar info is quite understandable, but the weather info is one over-hurried run-on sentence. It’s not journalism. ### 2/5 — Update Radar in the App *2023-07-23* The app radar says now, but is not accurate. When rain starts in Arlington, the radar still shows that the rain is on the way. When rain ends in Arlington the app radar still shows rain over Arlington. Even though the radar says NOW, it is not truly now. ### 3/5 — Solid App with Questionable Decision Making *2023-06-14, version 5.7.301* The app is pretty solid. Plenty of push notifications for severe weather in my area, and many that aren’t in my area. I would seriously consider changing your ads. If I get a push notification for a “severe weather update,” I shouldn’t have to sit through an ad to see what’s going on. ### 1/5 — Poor sound *2023-06-14, version 5.7.301* When plying videos you here a second set of voices and or music playing in the background ### 2/5 — 100% wrong *2023-05-21, version 5.7.301* According to this app with locations services enabled, I was supposed to get rain at my house every day the last two weeks with 100%. It’s been bone dry. ### 1/5 — Weather *2022-09-25, version 5.6.509* About half the time there is no audio on your videos. Very annoying ### 5/5 — Wjax weather app *2022-07-29* TThis weather app is right on when it comes to the temperature and rain. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-13, version 6.2.517* Meteorologists are great. The app though…every time you touch the volume, it restarts a 15-30 second ad. Very annoying. ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2026-06-20, version 6.2.517* Was amazing lately it just didn’t work ### 1/5 — update is terrible *2026-04-03, version 6.1.601* Radar is awful now. ### 1/5 — Too many intrusive ads *2025-10-05, version 5.17.705* The ads are brutal and pop up everywhere disrupting viewing. Too many videos. I don’t want to watch a video when I want an overview. I prefer the Action News Jax weather reports and their staff on television, but hands down prefer the News4Jax App. ### 1/5 — Ads ruin it *2025-08-08, version 5.17.705* The ads are too intrusive - I immediately uninstalled it after trying it. Not worth it! ### 1/5 — Temps in winter *2024-12-06, version 5.16.1702* The area you report on is vast. That is good but not for us in Jacksonville specifically Avondale and Ortega. Both my partner and I grow tropical in and outside of the green house. We are both next to the river and the forecasts we hear are the low expectations for Waycross or something like that which causes a flurry of activity and hard work costly work only to find out the low in our 32205 area was 41 not 25. Also, what’s being said live on TV and live on “ now” online are two entirely different forecasts on temps by the same person. ### 1/5 — Weather *2024-09-26, version 5.16.1702* Not accurate at all doesn’t rain like they say doesn’t do anything they say it’s a bad app will be removing ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t have changed it *2024-07-11, version 5.14.700* It was a really good app easy to understand and more information. Now it’s basically useless ### 1/5 — Was my only choice *2023-09-04* I left all the major weather apps due to in your face ads. Feel in love with this weather app for the past few years but not it flashes full screen ads. Time to start looking for another weather app ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-06-27, version 5.7.301* When watching videos, ads are constantly playing at the same time and I cannot understand what’s going on when I can hear both. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best news station *2024-06-08, version 5.14.700* I love Jax news I been watching this news channel for two always on point ### 5/5 — Thanks *2024-05-26, version 5.14.700* Thank you all for keeping up informed and updated weather reports. ### 5/5 — Change is good *2024-04-03, version 5.13.804* Change is good but make smaller chances over a longer time period in the format. ### 5/5 — Finn *2024-01-10, version 5.11.503* I am so grateful for the updates to this storm as it was happening. I was uncomfortable with the propensity of this storm’s impact and it was great to have such thorough information. ### 5/5 — Best radar ever *2023-07-06, version 5.7.301* Love this app ### 5/5 — Weather *2023-06-24, version 5.7.301* The weather is forecast is true. Keep the excellence forecasting! ### 5/5 — Keep’s you informed *2023-04-14, version 5.7.301* New to the area and I like knowing when to stay alert of bad weather and this app really helps with that. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Bye-bye, talking heads! *2022-11-08, version 5.6.509* What I like is that you get all the local weather graphics without a local teleprompter reader interpreting and explaining it to us like we are 5 year olds. Great app. Really works to prove their uselessness. ### 5/5 — My Morning go to channel for what’s happening today! *2022-10-16, version 5.6.509* Have a great day ### 5/5 — Weather *2022-09-03, version 5.6.506* Love y’all --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
