### 1/5 — Older version was much better

*2025-01-04, version 6.8.0*

Upgraded my phone and got the new version of the app. Ver 5.x was much better without all the garbage on the screen. Too many ads. You could see the whole week forecast easily before. Now it’s broken up on the page with ads. I wish I could get the old version back.

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2023-06-21, version 6.8.0*

Whoever changed this app ruined it.  It’s hard to use now.  If you want to provide an app for us then listen to us.  This new update, frankly, is horrible.

### 1/5 — Terrible app since update

*2022-10-01, version 6.8.0*

Much more user friendly before the updated version. Too aggravating to find info, too and the Davis ad pops up all the time. Once is too many. I purchased the upgraded version on the previous version in order to get rid of ads but this one is full of them. I guess I got “took”.

### 1/5 — No Longer User Friendly

*2022-08-06, version 6.7.1*

This app used to be easy to use. Not anymore.

### 1/5 — Update is terrible

*2022-08-04, version 6.7.1*

Only weather app I used for several years but as of today it has been deleted. I kept it after the update hoping it would change back but no luck so far so thanks FOX Weather for a useable app that looks like a weather app should look.

### 2/5 — The new radar is a no go.

*2022-05-22, version 6.7.1*

I’m a big fan of WSPA and the weather team.  I’m also a weather radar freak.  For me, the radar on the new app leaves something to be desired.  Going to find another weather app that has a different style of radar.

Sincerely,
Nick Key
Gaffney, SC

### 2/5 — Background

*2022-05-14, version 6.7.1*

The update should have come with the option to change the background of the radar from white back to normal satellite. I held out from the new update as long as I could because of this. I guess I’ll have to install another weather app.

### 2/5 — No radar forecast

*2022-05-14, version 6.7.1*

The whole idea of a weather app is to provide a forecast.  The app changed in the past few weeks and no longer provides a radar forecast.  When you live in Greenville where you can get rain almost any day, the radar forecast helps you plan.  Now that is no longer available.  Drops to the app to 2 stars

### 2/5 — Update not good

*2022-05-13, version 6.7.1*

I used to love this app before the last update. It changed the entire app. It’s not a good change. Like the old app better. Will be using something else now.

### 1/5 — New Update is Awful!

*2022-05-12, version 6.7.1*

What happened? I used this weather app above any other until new update. It’s so complicated & radar is awful. Looking for a new weather app
