Ads

I removed this app because the ads below the weather reporting were really off putting and actually disgusting. I understand you have to have ads but make them more pleasing. thank you.

Bugs

Fix bugs asap. It’s getting worse

Ads Ads Ads

Zero stars needed. Big fat Zero 0! Update was 2 days ago. The daily forecast opens with full screen ads! No way to cancel/skip or close them. Same for hourly forecast! The ads do not fade or stop or just disappear. What the heck? I deleted your app and went back to ABC 13, KPRC 2 and KHOU 11 apps.

Doesn’t work very well

This app need help the radars will run then stop half way through I’ve switched to ABC13 weather app.

Bad radar

Not that accurate user-friendly

Very buggy app

This app seriously needs to be fixed. you can't touch anywhere on the home screen without it immediately opening another link.
I've repeatedly tried to simply scroll through the home screen, & whatever my finger touches during the scroll motion, it switches the screen.
If you drag your finger to scroll the screen & you touch the daily forecast during the scroll motion, it immediately switches the screen to the daily forecast. It does the same thing if you drag your finger to scroll past the radar or a video.
This happens all of the time & it usually makes me switch to another news station weather app that's reliable.

Can only see ads

As soon as I open the app, it shows a brief glimpse of current weather. but if youwant to see multiple days Ads show up of videos of games that take up the whole screen and no way to close it. There are too many other good weather apps so I don't waste my time on this

adds recked the app

The new adds taking up the entire screen ruined the app. This was my go to weather app for hurricane season but will be switching to a paid app

Needs fixing BADLY

I have the latest apple update and it doesn't work like it did. I cant see anything coming off of Africa and it stops about 12:00pm in afternoon on the radar :/. No updates in 2 months this is ridiculous! I used this app for years and recommended it to everyone now I am gonna have to find a new weather app I can trust.

Crashes

during these storms at the time we need it most this app keeps crashing had to delete & get something else Do BETTER Fox26!!!

Bad update to 5.8.411

Since the latest update (5.8.411) has come out, significant issues have started. The most significant is the radar renderings will blink on but mostly stays off when you open the app without killing the app after the prior use. The only fix I’ve found is to kill the app and relaunch it every time I want to look at radar. More than a little annoying.

Why this FOX app not like it used to be?

I’ve used this app for many years but in the last 3-6 months is not as reliable. I recently deleted it and reloaded; still not functioning well. The radar isn’t up to date compared to ABC channel 13 radar or National Weather Radar. It also flashes and will not show all the thunderstorm cells/rain, but there will be storm tracks and lightning symbols all over. It’s just not reliable anymore.

Terrible

Not sure why the app has to reload every time you open in. Could be a second or a month. It takes forever to open. Then while you’re there, it gives the most inaccurate “forecast” if you’d call it that. Half the time it doesn’t even work. Used to think the Apple weather app was terrible. Nope this is lightyears behind

Promotions are a scam

I like me F26 weather. But occasionally it pops up a promotion that links to a supposed Amazon questionnaire that in turn links to a game where you can “ win “ an ipdad. If you win you pay $5 shipping.

Well I won, entered my CC info and immediately got charged $57. Luckily Mastercard has the merchant in its fraud database & I was able to decline he transaction.

Beware

Hi

Can you add widgets thanks

Buggy App, works for most part

The app works for the most part, but I’m constantly turning the alert overlays off only for them to turn themselves back on. Been like this for a while. LOVE LOVE LOVE Fox26 staff. App however needs some work

Worked really good until I upgraded to iOS 15.3.

Fox 26 app is a really good app until I upgraded to IOS 15.3.
I have checked my settings and rebooted, but unless I am on the internet I can’t get the app to work.

Plz fix ASAP

The hurricane tracker cone is not working (pacifically hurricane Rick) and I have fam in the direct path and can’t get the app so I need this fix so I can update my fam!

Weather forecast no updated

We have this app, but over the last 11 days, the weather report has NOT been updated! Its the same video recorded when Hurricane IDA was here!
And here we are expecting TS Nicholas!
I am deleting this app!
