App Immediately Closes

This is still my #1 go to for the radar mostly. Last 2.5-3 weeks when I open it, it immediately closes (within 1 second). I click to open it again and it opens. Only once has it closed two times in a row. I didn’t notice an update that hasn’t gone through. And I agree with another poster, I miss the Hurricane app.

Maybe you have to pay now

With update, you can now only see weather and radar for a couple of hours. No thank you. App deleted.

4 hurricane and this not the same

I, just as much as everybody else had to get this out because hurricane four says this is replacing you need to download it. This app is a whole bunch of extra steps to tracker Hurricane and it’s easier to use is horrible when it comes to something like a hurricane simplicity is best I hope sincerely that News for jets will discontinue their plans to merge the two apps

It’s Broken

This thing is broken. I used to use this app daily. Now the darn thing won’t open.

App no longer opens

Liked it when it worked. Running the current app— it just no longer opens. 😢

It’s forcing close

Whenever I try to open the app it forces close.

Great app but preferred old layout

Best weather app I've used for unpredictable NE Florida weather but the previous layout was much more streamlined and easier to navigate.

Not as easy to navigate

The original app was better. It was easy to navigate and upfront with the data. This app makes it hard to even find where the hurricane information is. It has way too much to sift through and way more off topic in the way.

Forced App Download

This supposed improvement from the Tropics Watch App is a cluttered mess of mixed news, apparently trying to trap the user into non-weather news and, of course, advertising. Finally poked around and found the Tropics Watch, but it is a poor and limited recreation.

I agree

Sick and tired of the terms and conditions as they want you to sign your life away, never mind delete the app , not keeping it!!!

I love the update

I have researched for weather conditions and News! I love the app that I can track the locations I knew, but now there was an update, There are bug fixes so don’t worry now, now you can see conditions not failed and everybody is always on natural disasters to see it. It’s all thanks to all the reviews that have a 1/3 star rating.

Not what it use to be

Radar does not work in updated version

Horrible App

The Hurricane Tracker app was my go-to. They forced migration to this horrible app. It’s about money for them…and they lost a customer because of it.

Never right

Why can’t you weather folks ever get the weather right even within hours. I’m not talking a little off, you’ll go so far as tell me it’s storming and there are a few clouds only and sun shining. How reliable can an app be when its information is always wrong. No matter how fake and chipper the weather people are, the forecasts are always wrong. Always. Lie to me with a smile on your face. Awful. Can’t trust the weather as much as you can not trust the news. Awful.

Radar

I use this app every day to know if I should or shouldn't leave my dogs in the yard due to rain, heat, etc. But with this latest update, I no longer see the radar in the future hours. Only if I change it to 24 hours.

Radar

I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the NEWS4jax app and from the App Store but can not get the radar map back to the way it was. It would show 2 hrs future. Mine now stops at NOW / duh. I know what it’s doing now.

Downgrade

This used to be my go to weather app but ever since the “upgrade” it’s nothing but trash! I will be deleting this app and moving to First Coast Weather of Jacksonville.
Let me know when you actually know what you’re doing and I will return.

Junk

Not easy to use!

Major issues after recent release

After the recent update to the weather app there are bugs with weather in different cities and advancing the view for those different saved cities. It doesn’t work.

Almost useless

Accuracy is all over the place some days it will say 90% rain in our area and not even a cloud in the sky. The radar recently stopped working all it shows is the past couple hours NOTHING for future radar readings. Use to be the only weather app I use but between how crammed it got when y’all updated it last year and now the radar being completely useless. This app is just a waste of space on the phone, you’d be better off walking out your front door to figure out the weather for the day.
