## Review summary

Users describe FOX 9 Weather as a frequently used go-to local weather app with generally clean visuals. However, recurring issues overshadow the positives: heavy ads with no ad-free option; radar accuracy/timing problems (and the 24-hour radar often showing only 12 hours); stability issues including crashes and blank screens; location problems where the app shows the wrong area or fails to update; and UI/UX changes after updates that disrupt scrolling and navigation. Overall, it remains useful for basic info but usability lags.

### Pros

- Frequently used as the go-to local weather app and opened daily.
- Radar feature (including 24-hour radar) is valued by some users.
- Generally clean and visually appealing formatting.

### Cons

- Ads are excessive with no option to remove them or buy an ad-free version.
- Radar accuracy/timing is inconsistent or often wrong.
- Stability issues including crashes, blank screens, and freezing.
- Location issues including incorrect location dot and failure to update.
- UI/UX changes after updates disrupt usability (new look, forced vertical scrolling, nickname requirements) and some features fail (e.g., 24-hour radar).
- 24-hour radar often shows only 12 hours.
