Y’all could care less about this app. Plent of other apps to get current forecast. Will be reporting this app to iOS store due to negligence. ### 1/5 — Update is terrible *2020-08-25, version 5.0.805* This app keeps gettings worse each update. Long load time, glitchy radar. to many detailed options that are not necessary. Keep it light, simple, and faster load time. ### 2/5 — Why does the interactive radar don’t work? *2020-08-03, version 5.0.803* Inter active radar does not work ### 2/5 — Problem with app *2020-05-22, version 5.0.301* I have been unable to get the interactive weather video to work for the last 2 weeks? It’s the feature I used the most. ### 3/5 — Slower and slower *2020-03-04, version 4.10.2700* I loved this app and used it all the time. Over the past year on both my iPhone and my iPad this app has just gotten slower and slower and ridiculously slower. Now the video playback does not work on either device or my friend’s device. If they could fix these issues, this app would deserve a five star rating in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Please fix this app. *2020-02-06, version 4.10.2501* Hey guys. Really need to look at your code here. This app is constantly plagued with issues loading the videos. Love watching the weather forecast when I get home late from work and not worrying about catching it live. Appreciate your attention!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-01-12, version 4.10.2101* Home screen is frozen and will not move to access your town’s weather info. You can beat it you can swipe every which way and it stays stuck on the home screen. It used to work well but not now!!!! ### 1/5 — Max8 weather *2020-01-09, version 4.10.2101* Worst app I ever downloaded. Will not work on my iPhone, never stable enough to trust for weather alerts. Went with News2 ### 2/5 — Bambi *2020-01-05, version 4.10.2001* Love Fox 8 Max Weather app but few days ago would not come up till I deleted app then reinstalled it. Worked for 24-48 hours then app would come up but nothing there. Deleted again and reinstalled still same problem. Have had this app for several years with no problem till in last couple weeks. ### 1/5 — Video playback stopped working *2019-12-14, version 4.10.1601* Video playback stopped working ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2019-12-11, version 4.10.1601* Since the last update I have uninstalled and reinstalled 10 times, can not get the video forecasts to work and can’t get the help button to work either! Loved it before but totally disappointed now ### 2/5 — Video won’t load *2019-12-09, version 4.10.1601* I downloaded this app back in September and it worked great. After about a month the video stopped loading. I tried rebooting my phone and reloading the app several times and nothing has worked. Other than that I love the app. I just wish they would fix issue. ### 2/5 — Slowest app to load EVER *2019-06-24, version 4.8.900* I have used this app for a few years now and it opens slower and slower with every update. Until this can be resolved I will just use the generic weather app on the IPhone. I am using the IPhone 8 plus and run very few apps so the memory or the processor cant be the issue. I like this app but please improve the launch speed of the app so it is useable. Thanks!! ### 3/5 — Fox 8 weather *2018-07-07, version 4.6.1400* For some reason I lost Fox 8 weather so I downloaded fox 8 max weather and they just disappeared from my screen. Tried to download again and could not. Really miss my checking weather when I want. ### 1/5 — Don't trust this app *2017-10-07, version 3.9.701* Unreliable and unbelievable. Got hit with pretty steady rain today, while the app is showing absolutely nothing on the radar and 0% chance of rain until 3 hours after the fact, and even then only 20% chance. Not trustworthy at all ### 2/5 — Lame *2017-07-03, version 4.4.703* It always has a pop up asking me to connect to Bluetooth. I don't want to connect to Bluetooth. Learn that and leave me the hell alone after the first or, at least, second time. And then there's no video content. There's an option for video, but when I go to retrieve it, it says, "no video content". And why don't they ever keep a total for rainfall to date for year and month and day? Why do I have to hope I can listen to the one forecast when they find it worthy of mentioning? Just give us that. Every day. ### 2/5 — Too slow to load *2017-04-15, version 4.4.703* Ever since they added the Webb AC ad, it takes forever for it to load! As soon as you open the app, the ad is all you see. Then, the current temp, etc. shows. Go back to what you had before adding the ad please! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I deleted because of too many ads *2026-06-03, version 6.2.512* Awful loud pop-up advertising take over your whole screen. Been using this app for years I’ve now deleted it. Not that y’all actually care. ### 1/5 — Too many Ad’s *2026-06-01, version 6.2.512* There are pop up ads every time you click on a forecast or map, please change this back to the way it was! ### 1/5 — Annoying Pop Up Ads *2026-05-22, version 6.1.601* The pop up ads are ridiculously loud and annoying. After having this app for 10+ years I will be looking for another! ### 1/5 — You ruined a great app!! *2026-05-21, version 6.1.601* This app used to have the best radar and over the past year y’all ruined it. The pop ups are terrible. Some has sound and that you can’t control. It’s a dam shame that greedy idiots has to ruin everything. Don’t download this app!!! ### 1/5 — Stop The Ads *2026-05-12, version 6.1.601* This weather app is very reliable and informative, but now they have added pop up ads that come up out of nowhere and are long to get out of. I’m just trying to look at the weather guys. I’m looking for a new weather app now. ### 1/5 — Since the update *2026-03-08, version 6.1.601* Since the update, it’s not as user friendly. It has pop up ads when you try to click on radar. The earthquake alerts use to be sized according to the size of the quake. Now they are all the same size and you have to click to verify the size. This use to be my favorite weather app, now It’s back to the drawling board. ### 1/5 — Stop the pop up ads *2025-07-24, version 5.17.706* I used to love this app. Now they have added pop up ads when you go to switch between the map and or forecast. People need weather now not an ad for an apartment. Going to delete and find/use a different weather app. ### 1/5 — Now with MORE Ads 😡 *2025-07-17, version 5.17.615* This was my go to app for weather, minimal ad placement but now every menu selection makes you watch an ad!!!!! Not functional anymore, will be using a different app from now on-so disappointed!!!! ### 1/5 — Not receiving push notifications *2024-01-20, version 5.13.800* Useless app, not receiving NWS alerts! ### 1/5 — Slow & ad *2024-01-12, version 5.12.705* This is the slowest weather app I've seen. Also, the ad is for a place not even in my area. It says Max, it's Min. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I just got the app I hope it does what it suppose to do. *2021-01-09, version 5.1.500* I hope it do what it suppose to do. Im just trying it out. ### 5/5 — A+ weather App *2015-07-22, version 3.8.301* This is one of the best most reliable weather apps you could possible have! I have IOS and no problems with crashes, bugs or any other problems. Wghp Fox 8is the best most reliable weather station in all of the Piedmont triad, and Van Denton is one of the Best Meteorologist the Piedmont has! ### 5/5 — Best weather app for the triad! *2015-07-14, version 3.8.301* No reviews? No worries best weather app I've ever used (and I've used them all). Even trumps the big store apps. Alerts, storm tracks and more! Great job! ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-02-05, version 2.7.0* Like any other news app ### 5/5 — Great *2014-01-27, version 2.7.0* Great and useful ### 5/5 — Wghp *2013-11-01, version 2.6.2* I think that this will help u ### 5/5 — like the radar *2010-08-26, version 0* the radar on the map loads faster than other apps...and i can save locations now...nice updates! ### 5/5 — Cool *2010-05-10, version 0* This is so much better than the others ### 5/5 — Nice WX app! Simple and informative *2010-05-07, version 0* I like the radar on the map. Looks better than a lot of other radar apps. Nice to know about severe weather too. Overall pretty good. ### 4/5 — Miss *2010-05-12, version 0* Much better app than Weather Channel!!(post update). I live in Indiana and use it!
