FOX 2 Weather Authority

They’re very slow to update anything when you get an alert. It’s already gone by if they’re gonna say you’re gonna get hammered by storms they’ve been done for 20 minutes you read into this what you want they need to step up the game. There’s better apps out there.

The iPad version is horrible

I have been using this app on the IPhone and IPad for years, possible since it was created. It is my go to weather app that I check everyday if not multiple times a day. With kids and activities, it helps me plan my days. But this version (I don’t know when it was updated) for the iPad is unusable. The spacing is terrible and makes no sense. I will continue using it for the iPhone but will be deleting and looking for a different one for IPad which is a shame. The one thing I don’t like about the iPhone version, how the screen width shrinks as it is opening up, messes with my eyes, but I just blink long til its over and all good. Please put some time into the iPad version and make it good again.

Interactive radar map is terrible

It used to be good. What happened to it?

Location

When I open the app it shows me somewhere else entirely where I’m NOT located. I have to keep deleting it and go to my follow me thing to where I’m exactly at on the map.
Please fix it.

Can’t see temp

Deleted this app because advertising banner is always covering where they show the temperature very annoying
