### 1/5 — Ads make it unusable

*2026-06-02, version 6.2.512*

Now that ads pop up every time you change from one part of the forecast to another, it’s virtually unusable. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — ADDS?? Seriously!?!?!

*2026-06-02, version 6.2.512*

I am a very long time user of this weather app. Brian Wilkes has been my go to for any kind of weather updates for years. I’m saddened by the fact that they have decided I need to watch an add before I am able to check the radar, see what’s in store for the day or check the 10 day… if I switch from one area to another or change my location, yep, gotta watch another add!! For this reason and this reason alone I am moving on to another source for my weather information. Very disappointing!!! 
Do better Fox 59 & CBS 4!!!

### 1/5 — All ads now and loud.

*2026-05-31, version 6.2.512*

Used to be great, now it’s ads on every click and so loud I can’t do when I first wake up, wakes up wife.

### 1/5 — Deleting this app

*2026-05-31, version 6.2.512*

I watch Fox 59 every single night. But now, since the new update on May 26, 2026, whenever I open this app, it plays a full-page ad at the beginning. This used to be my go-to weather app and now I’m deleting it. At least GIVE THE OPTION TO OPT OUT by paying a 1-time fee of like $3!!

### 1/5 — Was good, now junk

*2026-05-30, version 6.2.512*

The ads are now overwhelming. Many of them are misaligned to the point you can’t click out of them.
Moving on.

### 2/5 — Too Many Ads

*2026-05-29, version 6.2.512*

The ads start as soon as I start the app.  Don’t even see the Home Screen before the ads start.  Swap screen and another ad.

### 1/5 — It’s a Pop Up Ad App

*2026-05-22, version 6.1.601*

This used to be a great weather app, but a recent update introduced pop up ads galore.  You can’t move from one screen to another without at least one pop up.  Sometimes you get hit twice!  I’m going back to WeatherBug.

### 1/5 — Gone down hill

*2026-05-16, version 6.1.601*

Use to be a great weather app now it’s nothing but an add app with a radar.

### 2/5 — This current update is not good

*2026-05-05, version 6.1.601*

The old version of the app is vastly superior than this option now. It showed all the warnings in the specific highlighted areas that needed to know without having to make a custom map and even then I can’t figure out how to find the warnings or watches.

### 1/5 — Another Negative…

*2026-04-12, version 6.1.601*

Reviewing again to voice displeasure with the intrusive full screen ads you have added. You all are speed-running ruining every aspect of this app that was good.
