I understand you have to have ads but make them more pleasing. thank you. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work very well *2025-06-25* This app need help the radars will run then stop half way through I’ve switched to ABC13 weather app. ### 2/5 — Bad radar *2025-06-11, version 5.17.508* Not that accurate user-friendly ### 2/5 — Needs fixing BADLY *2024-08-28* 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. ### 2/5 — Bad update to 5.8.411 *2023-09-27, version 5.11.501* 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. ### 4/5 — Hi *2022-08-11, version 5.5.702* Can you add widgets thanks ### 3/5 — Buggy App, works for most part *2022-03-29* 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 ### 3/5 — Worked really good until I upgraded to iOS 15.3. *2022-01-31* 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. ### 2/5 — Plz fix ASAP *2021-10-23, version 5.4.500* 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! ### 1/5 — Weather forecast no updated *2021-09-13* 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! ### 3/5 — Videos not updating *2021-09-13* I like Fox 26 for weather and their TV staff does a great job. For some reason though the app is not updating with the latest video clips, which is why I downloaded it in the first place. For example, this morning I wanted to watch a video forecast for how Tropical Storm Nicolas will affect my area, but the video on there is from 11 days ago where they’re talking about Hurricane Ida. The app is otherwise fine, but again there are a plethora of weather apps out there, some better, where I can read the forecast, so the value for me was to be able to come here and see a quick weather clip that summarizes what’s going on (ie such as when you’re watching the news and the weather comes on. If they could do one of these 2-4 times per day and then upload to the app I’d use it more. ### 4/5 — Way better than Frank *2020-02-04, version 4.10.2501* Nice ui. ### 4/5 — Great When connects *2020-01-10* I have had this weather ap and love it! However this past week and now today it is frozen and I cannot get it to open. It appears others are having the same issue. ### 4/5 — A must for the outdoors but it’s slow *2020-01-05* I’ve used this app everyday for over 2 years but the radar is a bit slow (about 8 min behind actual weather) and over the past week (New Year’s week 2020) the app has simply locked up. I have deleted and reinstalled to see if a recent update is the cause. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-11-25, version 4.10.1602* This app is actually worse that the on-air weather people when it comes to predicting rain. ### 2/5 — Radar good...temps bad *2019-10-30, version 4.10.1201* Temps never seem to be right. Even in my location it shows way off from actual temps and the hourly seems to be a joke. 10 degree from real temps ### 1/5 — Radar *2019-08-16, version 4.7.1005* The radar portion of your app is terrible it is never correct it’s pouring down rain at my house and it shows nothing in the radar! Big let down ### 3/5 — Nice option to TWC, but... *2019-03-09* Occasionally has odd errors and crashes but it’s a very good option the horrible resource hog that is The Weather Channel. I use it about 75% of the time now. Will eventually see it as a replacement to TWC fully. When I can give it 4 stars it will win. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-12-16, version 6.1.101* Fix bugs asap. It’s getting worse ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2025-12-13* 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. ### 1/5 — Very buggy app *2025-05-28* 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. ### 1/5 — Can only see ads *2025-03-11* 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 ### 1/5 — Very buggy app *2025-01-26* 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.

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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-02-10* 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 ### 1/5 — Promotions are a scam *2022-09-07, version 5.5.702* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-02-12* Been hearing Dr Jim saying to download.
