They should go back to the radar that they had before. ### 3/5 — Fine except for the weather headlines *2025-07-26, version 5.17.706* Once you get into the weather headlines, you can’t get out of them without closing the app and reopening it. ### 3/5 — Future cast is terrible *2024-11-19, version 5.16.1703* Love the WLOX weather team and rely on them for their updates. But this app does them no justice. The 24hr futurecast radar only goes 12 hours and freezes. This has been an issue for well over 6 months and it still hasn’t been fixed. When I messaged Eric Jeansonne about the issue, he said they have no control over the app. That’s pretty sad that the Chief Meteorologist has zero say in the quality of the weather app. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2024-09-28, version 5.15.412* Great app and I use every day and there seems to be some issues that could be improved for this app to be top shelf for locals. Lags and the radar seems to always stop about halfway. ### 4/5 — Future cast *2024-09-10, version 5.15.412* I love the app but lately future cast freezes up half way through. ### 2/5 — Confusing radar *2024-08-17, version 5.15.412* The radar map has an overlay when opening that only moves out of the way when in motion. Also the ad at the bottom with the roach crawling is disgusting. ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-08-27, version 5.10.500* The app is rather easy to use. My biggest complaint about it is the weather forecast videos just cut off and cycle to the next video seemingly halfway through the original video. It would be great if it actually finished the weather forecast video before the cycling to the next video. ### 4/5 — Weather *2023-07-09, version 5.10.500* I always rely on WLOX 13 for keeping me up to date on the weather. I can go on line anytime to see where storms are located and what is near my residence. The weather crew is excellent also. ### 4/5 — No radar *2023-06-10, version 5.8.500* What’s happened to the radar? It hasn’t worked for the past three days. ### 4/5 — Alden Mann *2022-11-24, version 5.6.510* Typically it seems WLOX Wx gives a report on a multi variety of situations and flys from one screen to another quickly. I would prefer basic wx report given time to digest it.Mabe schedule variety of reports at special times WLOX IS MAKING COMMENT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT My Knick name I’ve had since birth . I don’t have another. Do you want my comment? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What weather teport *2026-08-30, version 6.2.604* Nothing but commercials. Its garbage ### 1/5 — Why did it change on IPad?? *2026-08-09, version 6.2.512* Why did the app change on IPad?? You can’t READ the articles anymore. It is ONLY VIDEOS. And LOTS OF ADS. Very disappointed!!! Use to be my daily news app. Now it just frustrates me. ### 1/5 — Weather *2026-02-05, version 6.1.102* The weather it’s so stupid. I hate the radar so much ### 1/5 — Jay Allen *2025-06-14, version 5.17.511* The one star is for Jay Allen and EVERY SINGLE TIME I need to see the weather, having to sit through his redundant rant. During hurricane season, I don't need to be inundated with a car salesman pitch! This is also a big reason Jay Allen missed out on over 75k when I purchased my vehicle recently. That and the fact his salesmen tried to sell me a truck for 42k with BALD TIRES claiming it a new vehicle. Find yourself some new sponsors. ### 1/5 — Radar does not work during bad weather *2025-05-29, version 5.17.511* !!! ### 1/5 — Weather app *2025-02-07, version 5.17.511* Wlox weather and news apps have to much J Allen ads, every video has add when your trying to see important items. ### 1/5 — Piece of garbage *2024-08-01, version 5.15.412* Worst weather app I have the misfortune of using ### 1/5 — Never accurate *2024-01-13, version 5.12.701* Nice to see you never release negative reviews. ### 1/5 — It’s acting weird *2023-06-10, version 5.8.500* I’ve never had problems with the radar but the past month or so it has been acting strange! If and when the radar actually wants to work, it is delayed but most of the time the radar won’t work. ### 1/5 — Bad radar and future forcast *2023-05-30, version 5.8.500* The radar on this app is almost always wrong, 9x’s out of 10 it is delayed or completely inaccurate. If 2 people pull up the app at the same time they both get different data. Needs complete overhaul or partner with someone else to look at new tech. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-05-02, version 5.17.511* Excellent work and informative ### 5/5 — Hshxhx *2024-09-22, version 5.15.412* So helpfull ### 5/5 — Hurricane updates *2024-09-22, version 5.15.412* WLOX DOES A WONDERFUL JOB KEEPING PEOPLE UP TO DATE AND INFORMED. I use to live in that area. I now live in Gilf Breeze. Alan Strum is the name of the guy in charge of weather in my area of. FL. He is seriously lacking and I still have to rely on WLOX. He blew it with keeping us informed with hurricane SALLY. Your area is blessed to have great people. ### 5/5 — New Weather Team *2024-09-21, version 5.15.412* Excellent and has brought me back to your station great selection for chief meteorologist. He is doing a great job and hope he doesn’t get stolen by another station. ### 5/5 — Hurricane Francine Coverage *2024-09-14, version 5.15.412* Great coverage and the frequent updates were very helpful for us in Pass Christian, as well as the entire MS. Gulf coast, before, during, and after the storm. Especially the tornado warnings. Great job by the (obviously expanded) WLOX team. Thanks to your whole team for a job well done! ### 5/5 — Best for checking by weather *2024-02-07, version 5.12.701* Allows checking severe weather conditions ### 5/5 — Used a lots! *2023-11-26, version 5.12.701* WLOX app is used by all our family even my 96 year old mother! ### 5/5 — Good with a few bugs *2023-09-27, version 5.11.503* Sometimes app fails to load Also, the radar fails to load when everything else works fine But overall an excellent product ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-04-17, version 5.7.301* Up to the minute with weather anywhere I travel ### 5/5 — WLOX weather *2023-01-02, version 5.7.112* I love this app I really love this weather channel app are love this appreciate --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
