But the traffic part doesn’t follow and goes to Eden Prairie. For the most part we likes the app. ### 4/5 — Golf Weather *2026-06-17, version 6.2.502* Would you please give golfers a blow by blow hourly forecast for ours an western Wi forecasts on rain. Once during your show? I would look at that timeframe all spring-fall. Help! ### 2/5 — Not great *2026-06-08, version 6.2.502* Lots of bugs, crashes, incomplete data, etc. No bueno ### 4/5 — Latest update *2025-12-16, version 6.1.101* Why? Just tell me why the fly in from the right to my location when you click the radar is an improvement? Annoying. Dumb. Just open to the saved location. How hard is that? Practical. Logical. ### 2/5 — Ok but not great *2025-11-29, version 5.17.705* Weather map only shows 12 hrs worth before it stalls for the 24 hr timeframe. ### 4/5 — Payment *2025-08-07, version 5.17.705* Since when do I have to pay for Fox nine weather app I never did before. ### 3/5 — Sometimes its right sometimes it’s wrong *2025-07-23, version 5.17.705* Sometimes it’s right sometimes it’s wrong ### 1/5 — Complete Joke *2025-07-01, version 5.17.610* Forecasts are absolutely horrible…just plan on the opposite of what Ian Leonard and his team of clowns predict and you’ll be far more accurate. Radar, the one thing you think would be reliable, is rarely correct. ### 1/5 — Fix your radar functionality *2025-06-29, version 5.17.610* Your radar is always wrong. Compared to other apps your radar is totally off. Could you please fix this so this is accurate. How can you tell people to trust your app when the radar is always completely wrong. Thanks! ### 3/5 — 24 hour radar *2025-06-24, version 5.17.610* I really like this app, but lately the 24 hour future radar is only showing 12 hours into the future. It is not showing the full 24 hour future radar. This happens on my iphone and ipad. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-06-06, version 5.17.610* Too many ads. ### 1/5 — unusable and frustrating *2025-05-22, version 5.17.610* Used to be my go to app until a recent update ruined it and made it impossible to scroll without it taking you to a different screen ### 2/5 — Stop hourly view auto-switching to vertical view format! *2025-05-20, version 5.17.610* I prefer only viewing the left<->right hourly view of conditions… BUT your app (now) always default switches to a vertical scrolling view 🫤. Please make that a user preference/choice… -to scroll left/right OR vertical setting- NOT always default switching to the vertical view, ASAP! Pleeeese? Thank you! ### 1/5 — Become unusable *2025-05-15, version 5.17.610* This app has become so unusable. Glitchy and now recently the radar and map do not align. So yourself a favor and use a different app ### 2/5 — “See More” *2025-05-14, version 5.17.610* It seems more efficient to use the web browser. Most articles are just a short paragraph and you need to select “see more”, which takes you to the website to get the details… ### 3/5 — Radar doesn’t work *2025-04-16, version 5.17.610* The 24 hour future cast radar stops at 12 hours ! The forecast seldom agrees with the fox9 tv forecast ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Humidity *2026-03-14, version 6.1.601* No humidity or dewpoint in the hourly or daily forecasts makes this app useless to me. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-01-13, version 6.1.301* The raider is an hour or two behind the actual weather, forecast not accurate,traffic? The only thing that I like is the map to zoom in on a location ### 1/5 — Radar doesn’t work *2025-12-28, version 6.1.101* Incredible!! I’m out of the country and when I open the app it shows the current conditions of my hometown BUT it’s greyed out and the app freezes with the message that it doesn’t work at the current location!!! What a piece of …. How stupid!!! ### 1/5 — Traffic *2025-12-26, version 6.1.101* Your update didn’t work! Opens showing Eden Prairie-I live in Ham Lake. There is no dot to show where I live. It lacks real time info. The last couple of new updates didn’t live up to expectations! Thanks Bill ### 1/5 — Livestream Broke *2025-12-19, version 6.1.101* Last update broke livestream. Now it just a blank white screen. ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2025-12-18, version 6.1.101* The new update with the new radar sucks, it’s glitchy and centers on Washington every time I open it. Whose bright idea was it to change it to this garbage, fire them. ### 1/5 — New update *2025-12-12, version 6.1.101* The update today RUINED this app. I am searching for something NEW and having to add a nickname is JUST STUPID ### 1/5 — Fix your radar functionality *2025-08-16, version 5.17.705* Your radar is always wrong. Compared to other apps your radar is totally off. Could you please fix this so this is accurate. How can you tell people to trust your app when the radar is always completely wrong. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Adds are to much *2025-07-29, version 5.17.705* The adds are over the top without any option to pay for an add free version. There are so many adds imbedded into every aspect and feature that it is simply unusable. That and the incessant weather alerts makes this app a 1-star. ### 1/5 — So inaccurate *2025-07-23, version 5.17.705* This weather app is so inaccurate like it keeps saying that it’s gonna storm when it’s not, absolutely disgusting weather app of all time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-18* I really like the home page, lots of info in a compact format. Daily and hourly can be expanded for details. I haven’t had any issues with the school closings button like another reviewer said. Remember, weather can change right up to the minute it hits your neighborhood, so complaints about inaccuracy should be taken with a grain of salt. Also saw in a negative review that the wind readings didn’t change for days - gee sorry that technology is glitchy sometimes. ### 5/5 — Good so far. Nice radar *2026-04-23, version 6.1.601* I like the 24 hour future radar. Overall formatting looks good. ### 5/5 — Love, Love, Love *2026-01-31, version 6.1.301* This is the first app I open everyday. ### 5/5 — Works for Me *2025-04-12* I haven’t had a problem with this app. The radar works fine and I get notifications about certain conditions just like FOX Weather. Glad to see the FOX9 logo finally got updated when the station gave it an updated look. I use this app very frequently so I’m glad to have it in my lineup 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Fox 9 weather *2023-09-18* Fox 9 weather make sure you update your app later today Monday, September 18 Apple is releasing later today iOS 17 and you need to make sure your app is working for iOS 17 and the performance is right and all the features of working properly for iOS 17 bringing it later today ### 5/5 — Video update *2023-08-01, version 5.8.411* Thank you for adding the daily video forecast 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — My favorite weather app *2022-11-23, version 5.5.702* I really enjoy this app. I’ve been using it for over a year now, and I haven’t had any glitches. As a truck driver, I try and stay on top of the weather, especially in the Winter months. ### 5/5 — Best Weather App I’ve ever Used *2021-08-21* Downloaded because a coworker recommended it years ago. I’ve installed it on all my devices. I have tried many weather apps over the years, this is by far the best one. Minimal ads and full featured. Bad reviews are unjustified, I’ve personally never had a issue. ### 5/5 — Works fine. Great local weather app *2020-07-03* I last looked at this app a couple years ago, and it was awful. Stayed with the old app until now (when a virus showed up in it). This app now looks similar to the old one and works great! It says it requires iOS12, but it works fine on my 9.3 old iPad They must have read the reviews and adjusted - rare humility for developers! ### 5/5 — Great app... radar not working 100% *2020-06-21, version 5.0.301* Great for local and just the same for national weather! Great job. Just fix the radar. Takes forever to load, or won’t load. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
