User Reviews

Users praise the app for accurate forecasts and useful features like hourly radar and local video weather content, plus effective alerts. However, multiple reviews complain about intrusive ads and branding, frequent stability problems (crashes and freezes), readability issues (tiny temperature text), and occasional forecast inaccuracies and data-display gaps. Some also note startup/UI bugs (stuck splash screen). Overall, the app shows strong weather data but needs fixes to performance, UI, and ad experience.

Pros

Accurate forecast and informative weather information.
Hourly forecast and radar features.
Local video/weather content and credible local coverage.
Alerts work well and are useful.

Cons

Intrusive ads and heavy Fox 8 branding affecting readability.
Frequent crashes, freezes, and force closes leading to instability.
Small font for temperature in the notification bar reduces readability.
Forecast inaccuracy or misleading day-by-day forecasts at times.
Startup/navigation issues like getting stuck on splash/logo and other UI bugs.

Five stars will be contingent on the reinstating of the current baro pressure on the front page.🙂

Super enshitification. You changed all the warnings and storm track buttons. All the layers are garbage. Go back in time please. This app should now be ZERO stars.
