I’ll stick with my real weather app. Should have known better than a weather app from a News company. Have to keep my eye out for that Severe Weather Light Rain they called for. ### 3/5 — Dew point *2024-08-26* Why remove the dew point? The dew point is essential for true humidity. Please put it back ### 4/5 — Ads popped up *2024-06-09* After the latest update full screen ads started popping up. We changed privacy settings on the app, seemed to help, but sometimes they still pop up for a second and disappear. ### 3/5 — Flickering map *2023-07-12* I like the app but during bad weather the map section will always flicker , sometimes it stops by reloading the most time not . Very irritating when you are trying to watch wher the storm is going. Only 3 stars and that’s pushing it. ### 2/5 — What Happened Lately *2023-05-14* Use this app all the time, my go to, but recently this app started having trouble loading the radar. It freezes up, can’t run the radar loop showing future cast, loads data slowly too. Seems like since this latest version came out there are more bugs than fixes ### 2/5 — Non critical weather alerts *2022-11-07* Please alter your app re an alarming alert for …“”!!oh the weather in Chicago is beautiful today!” Everyone I know that has this app is complaining about this. And will stop using because of this! ### 3/5 — Alerts *2021-12-22* I like the app. What I don’t like are the alerts it started sending out. I allow alerts in case of a bad storm or tornado. But recently it started sending out alerts stating that we haven’t had snow yet…or lots of sunshine, but lower temps expected….Save the alerts for something weather critical - something that could be dangerous!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-01-23* I used to love this app. Now it’s frozen all the time on 32. I have deleted and reloaded the app several times and it still won’t work. Someone needs to figure out what is going on. From the sounds of the reviews the freezing seems to be fairly normal now in January of 2020. ### 1/5 — Deletes itself. *2020-01-12* App deletes itself. All I have is 32 on my screen. Must delete then reinstall again and again and again. Getting tired of it. Considering going to app from another station. I deserve better. Cant give less than 0 stars ### 4/5 — Freezes a lot *2020-01-09* It worked well for months but recently freezes when trying to open. Deleted and reinstalling. ### 1/5 — Not Broken so why Change? *2019-09-22* New format and coloring is poor. People access to see map and forecast quickly. App is too busy and minimalizes its true features. I switched out. ### 1/5 — Constant problems since last update *2019-05-14* Freezes constantly ### 1/5 — Not working since last update *2018-06-13* This app is no longer working after I last updated it. ### 4/5 — Color ‘key’ *2018-06-08* I can’t find a key telling what the different colors and symbols represent. Please indicate where to find this. ### 1/5 — Nowhere near as good as the previous version. *2015-03-12, version 3.5.104* It wants me to pinpoint my current location, but no matter what I do, it still asks me to pinpoint my current location. I hope the older version remains available, I really prefer its screen layout. ### 1/5 — Change it back!!!!!!!!!!! *2015-02-03, version 3.5.104* I am so sad to give such a low rating but I'm hoping it will help change things back. This used to be my favorite app and I would suggest it to people. The new color scheme is horrendous!!! It's difficult to read at a glance or even when you stare at it! I really hope someone is looking at reviews because there are a lot of people complaining in your feedback section on the app! Please change or I will find another app to use. ### 1/5 — No more video! *2015-01-26, version 3.5.100* This used to be a great app and I would open it frequently. I also liked reading blogs. Seems like they are gone now. Too bad. Also don't like the overly blue colors and background. Why fix something that's not broken? I also would like to see weather forecast videos (like in the past). ### 2/5 — Colors chosen *2015-01-24, version 3.5.100* Too much blue color used, blue on blue, hard to focus quickly on what you are trying to see. Old app was much easily read. Change the color and will be the best. I have used the old version for 2 years, hope to continue??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-09-09, version 5.15.402* Always crashes. So delete it off all my devices ### 1/5 — Ruined App With 24 hour Radar *2024-06-26* The 24 hour should resemble the original radar which it doesn’t ### 1/5 — Ruined App With 24 hour Radar *2024-05-25* The 24 hour should resemble the original radar which it doesn’t ### 1/5 — This app has me on 124 web sites *2023-10-20, version 5.12.700* You should look into iPhone privacy report It shows me connected to 124 websites Is it that necessary for them to sell my information to these people ? Drop The App ### 1/5 — Sudden high data usage *2023-04-27* I have been using this app for several years and have really liked it. It is my go-to weather app. However, this morning the app managed to use over 4.5 GB of cellular data in about 90 minutes. How is that even possible? What would cause it? Has anyone else experienced this? ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2022-09-01* Currently it doesn’t reflect what was in the live report, been doing this for some time but now it’s useless, live forecast shows 88* the app says 75* ### 1/5 — Notification overload! *2022-08-29* This app is ridiculous! I had it set for severe weather notifications because, you should be aware of a tornado or similar is headed your way, but this app sends so many useless notifications (I’m in Chicago, why do I need to know about weather in Rockford?!?) that makes it completely useless because of notification fatigue. Whoever designed this needs to go back and learn how to keep notifications relevant to where the user is, not for areas over an hour away. Deleted due to being unable to reduce the nonstop notifications that are irrelevant. ### 1/5 — Alerts needs to be actual weather alerts *2021-11-18* App would get a much higher rating if they would stop sending out “alerts” at 6:30 am saying it is going to be cold etc. I only want to hear the actual NWS watches and warnings. Please give us an option to turn off/on the stations weather forecast. ### 1/5 — Awful *2021-10-28* App constantly keeps turning on all the warnings even after I shut them off. ### 1/5 — Can’t see the forecast *2020-11-24, version 5.0.1001* You need to drop the app and restart it in order to see the forecast It’s taking them a long time to fix it too? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jrod *2015-11-07, version 3.9.1002* Nice job ### 5/5 — Easier to Read *2015-08-18, version 3.9.400* Looking good. ### 5/5 — Very useful!! *2014-11-07, version 2.7.16* I always have FOXNews playing in the background but never get a chance to actually watch it!! So this app is perfect to find out the weather for what my children need to wear for the day!! Thank you for being so accurate!! ### 5/5 — Best weather app! *2014-01-20, version 2.7.8* I live in northwest Indiana and I was easily able to change to my current location. It has everything you want without all the adds and random stuff that TWC has. Great app for weather! ### 5/5 — Cool. *2013-08-09, version 2.5* It's a great app! ### 5/5 — Love this weather app! *2012-09-21, version 2.3* I have had a few different weather apps, this one us one of the best, and its free! ### 5/5 — T *2012-06-06, version 2.0.5* Awesome weather app!!!! Don't even bother with any other app. ### 5/5 — Nicely done! *2012-05-04, version 2.0.4* Exactly what I need. Look forward to future upgrades (not to be greedy) but maybe a function to text when tornadoes are in the area, and tracking a storm path with wind gust, lightning, and hail but I would have to say..even if those things were never added...I still like and will use this app. Thank you Fox and Bill! Old weather app has been removed! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-02-29, version 2.0.1* It's better than weather channel and Noah weather Hi Def and you can change location to where you are and it's free. I deleted the others. It's great with Noah weather radio. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-02-10, version 2.0.1* So easy to use and gives you all the information you need! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
