User Reviews

Users appreciate the detailed and local weather information and video forecasts provided by Fox61 Weather Watch. However, multiple reviews report issues with location detection failing, intrusive and uncontrollable station alerts, and problematic updates that removed useful features. Video alerts sometimes fail to play or are delayed, and some UI changes have degraded the user experience. Despite these problems, the app remains valued for its weather details and local forecasts.

Pros

Provides detailed weather information
Offers local weather forecasts
Includes video weather forecasts
Displays temperature information in the status bar (in some versions)

Cons

Location detection and follow-me features often fail
Cannot disable station alerts/notifications, which recur and are intrusive
Recent updates removed user options (e.g., daily tab expansion behavior, location selection for alerts)
Weather video alerts sometimes don't play or are outdated
Some changes (e.g., blurred map locations, fixed bold font color) negatively impact usability

Love the details of the weather it's great

One new thing that I dislike about this app is that when you click on the daily tab, the current day weather automatically expands. I liked it better before when all the days were collapsed, and you could look at a glance at all the days or choose to expand a day to see more. Please put back. Otherwise, great app. Thanks.
