Just lose the clouds behind data! Would be nice if on the map function you could opt to have an overlay of regional air quality (smoke). Or at the very least give a current air quality rating on each location’s general information page along with the current temp, humidity, wind speed/direction , etc. ### 3/5 — Too busy *2022-11-05* All the alert overlays are obnoxious. If I want them on I’ll turn them on. But if I turn them off they should stay off. As it is every time I open the app I have to turn them off again. ### 2/5 — Annoying alerts *2021-10-29* When I turn all the alerts off I want them to STAY off, not turn themselves all back on when I close and reopen! VERY annoying!!! ### 4/5 — Background color *2021-09-06* A previous version of the app that was all black is much easier to see. The white lettering on a light blue or cloudy background is almost impossible to see sometimes. Thanks for fixing! ### 2/5 — Fix the broken snow warnings *2021-05-07* Gives me random heavy snow warnings when it not even remotely close to snow temps, it’s also May ### 3/5 — Q 13 Weather *2020-07-30* Getting used to it. It’s a pretty easy transition. BUT, get rid of the White lettering. A bit of a pain having to move the page around, just to be able read it. Fix That, and you’ll get 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Not good! *2020-07-16, version 5.0.602* At first glance this looks slick and fresh. Functionally it’s bad. Hard to read data in a white font that are superimposed over a field containing white puffy clouds. Adjusting settings is perhaps easier than the old app. Just loose the clouds behind data! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Whether or not *2023-11-02* The accuracy of your weather predictions is laughable at best, if I did my job 100% better than you I would still be fired. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2022-12-23* Inaccurate at least when it comes to snow forecast ### 1/5 — Don’t update if you don’t need to! *2020-09-08* The white text is impossible to read on the partly cloudy backgrounds and you can’t change the settings. This is a classic ‘take it our way, settings are not to be changed by the unwashed masses’... Reminds me of the first apps in the 90’s! Sorry Fox, you screwed this one up. Hope the news app is better, but my expectations aren’t high. I’ll go back to Weatherbug! ### 1/5 — Too busy *2020-07-09* The update is way to busy and the white font makes it hard to read. The update is terrible ### 1/5 — Agree...bad update *2020-07-05* Screens are way too busy now, background too busy, and yes, it wiped out my saved locations. Sorry I updated. ### 1/5 — What did you do?! *2020-07-04* Waited til Walter left?! The background isn’t necessary, makes it hard to see. Being able to choose the opening panel and change it was preferable ### 1/5 — Backgrounds make text hard to read! *2020-07-03, version 5.0.602* Version 5.0.602 introduced weather sensitive backgrounds and white text on white fluffy clouds are difficult to read. I really dislike trying to scroll content to a place where I’m able to read text that I’m interested in. This may be “clever” but it is poor UI design. I wish that I had the old version back. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2020-05-28, version 5.0.400* Update May 2020 wiped out ALL my saved locations. Not acceptable. ### 2/5 — Do not work sometimes *2023-10-16* Sometime it do not work at all and radar be off ### 2/5 — Turn off ALERTS as default *2022-01-10* Look, this is a free app. It’s an ok app. It would be a much better app if you turned off the alerts on the radar map and make it that the user has to turn them on. They make the map useless. Map is basically useless with alerts on. So I have to every time go to alerts and turn them off so I can see the radar clearly. They turn themselves back on when you close app. User should be able to chose what alerts they want, not have them all on as the default. I would rate this much higher if this issue was addressed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keep up the good work. *2025-08-18* A family member turned me to your app and I must say I’m glad he did. I am in San Antonio,Tx. and your better than any local weather I get here. When we have severe weather here your app is the first one I hear from. Your app is one of the best I have on my phone. ### 5/5 — I love the weather on here it’s fun. *2024-06-15* I love the weather on here it’s fun. ### 5/5 — Fox 13 weather *2024-02-11* It’s my go to for local weather, no matter where I am! ### 5/5 — Sheila Noyes *2024-01-15* I love my weather ap not only can I see my weather but I can check on family my Granddaughter lives in Florida,Brother in Idaho, Cousins in Milwaukee 😉 Thank You ### 5/5 — I have trusted your reports for 20+Year. *2023-10-09* I do miss that wonderful 85% accuracy on what the next day for My tending my gardens in Langley. 🐝 ### 5/5 — Accurate *2023-10-08* No matter where I travel the app is accurate! ### 5/5 — Best radar *2022-04-11, version 5.5.702* This weather app has the best radar I’ve used! I love the alerts that follow me wherever I go. ### 5/5 — Simple app👍🏼 *2020-06-08, version 5.0.400* Simple to use alternative to the Weather Channel app that has become VERY busy and expensive for what you get. Update didn't wipe out my locations🤔🤔. ### 4/5 — Widget *2024-10-08* Apple Widgets would top the cake with a fifth star. ### 4/5 — Ads …. *2023-12-09* App great, ads a bit obnoxious. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
