Also, would be nice to have text forecasts for the first few days, not just the last days. ### 5/5 — Great Weather App *2025-08-12, version 5.17.706* I love this App. Very Accurate Most of the Time. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-26, version 5.17.706* Love this app!

Anyway to fix this issue? I don’t have an option to update it ### 5/5 — Fox Eight *2025-01-14* On Mind Videos I Cannot Hear My Videos On Fox Eight I UpDate This App Last Night And I Couldn’t Hear A Videos About The Weather Never Mind It’s Working Now Every Time I hit Daily weather it cuts off it might have A Bug In It I like this app because I can make my plans for the next day to see what the weather will be like please help me out it’s A Good App too look at it Now when I hit the Daily weather on my Fox Eight app it keeps cutting off I don’t know what’s wrong sometimes it will do it And sometimes it won’t it might be A Bug issues can someone please help me with this app please I really like this app thank you very much ### 5/5 — Fox Eight *2025-01-07* On Mind Videos I Cannot Hear My Videos On Fox Eight I UpDate This App Last Night And I Couldn’t Hear A Videos About The Weather Never Mind It’s Working Now Every Time I hit Daily weather it cuts off it might have A Bug In It I like this app because I can make my plans for the next day to see what the weather will be like please help me out it’s A Good App too look at ### 3/5 — Pop ups *2024-09-20, version 5.15.412* I love that I have access to wether at all times; however, the pop-up’s are irritating. The second the app is opened you are asked to share your location, which is fine if it would save your preferences. Then you have several ads before being able to watch any video, news story, or weather report. At times, such as during a storm when access is limited it’s aggravating because you don’t have the time to watch ads when trying to get relevant information in a short period of time to save on battery life. ### 5/5 — Francine *2024-09-15, version 5.15.412* Can’t say enough about our recent hurricane coverage. Excellent, accurate, on the spot coverage, in layman’s terms so all could understand. Professional reporting put my family & my nerves at ease. Thank u so much for a great job ### 5/5 — Y’all are great *2024-07-10, version 5.15.401* I watch everyday and love each and everyone of you, Y’all make me day go by easier, we love ya🤗🤗 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2026-08-01, version 6.2.512* Plenty of signal but app doesn’t work ### 1/5 — too many ads *2026-05-31, version 6.1.601* this app isn’t as bad as max weather app but it’s crazy how many ads there is ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-11, version 6.1.601* I missed the weather this morning because they insisted on showing me an ad instead of showing me the weather first so now I don’t know if it’s gonna rain or not!!! ### 1/5 — Was great *2026-04-10, version 6.1.601* It was a great app. Was the main weather app I used. Until they added ads. Open it up and click on a slide(map, hourly, daily….) and there’s an ad that I can’t click off of until it plays through. Fox doesn’t need anymore money, deleted and went back to WeatherBug and carrot. ### 1/5 — Web site *2025-12-04, version 5.17.801* Too hard to get to the info I want ### 1/5 — Data *2025-10-18, version 5.17.706* I could not get anything to work. I couldn’t get the radar screen just froze. This is the first time I’m using us and may be the last. ### 1/5 — Horrible sound *2025-02-16, version 5.17.511* When watching a weather update video, there are 2 sources of audio at the same time. ### 1/5 — App is very glitchy. *2024-07-19, version 5.15.401* I have this app installed on my phone. Three out of five times I have to back out of the app and restart it. Especially if I want to leave ok at radar. ### 1/5 — It’s raining *2024-07-10, version 5.15.401* According to Wvue it’s not raining here. This has been wrong for most of the time. Yes I tried my location and also all locations around me. ### 1/5 — Video doesn’t work properly *2024-05-29, version 5.14.703* I would love to see the video playing while the app says that I’m watching it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ConstableRob *2026-07-26, version 6.2.512* I use the Fox 8 weather app all the time, either for planning trips or just to see when my garden will be getting a shower. It’s a big help and the 24 hour radar lets me plan ahead if needed. ### 5/5 — A good weather app *2026-07-12, version 6.2.512* I really love this weather app. I really like the sound when I get the Fox 8 Weather notifications. ### 5/5 — Thank You *2026-06-20, version 6.2.512* When I Get Notified About Lighting I Know Not Too Go By Any Windows But I Sit Right Across From One. ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-06-20, version 6.2.512* Love the radar , it’s on time when it’s working . ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍 *2026-06-05, version 6.2.512* 👍👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Bariden Estorge *2026-04-22, version 6.1.601* Estorge ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-03-27, version 6.1.601* I like following day and night forecast if I miss it live.
