User Reviews

Most reviewers report FOX 32 Chicago Local Weather as unstable and noisy. The top recurring complaints are crashes and freezing, unreliable radar, an overload of irrelevant alerts, intrusive ads with privacy concerns, and a redesigned UI that harms readability. A minority still values the app as a long‑standing weather source, but popularity has waned as usability and data integrity issues persist.

Pros

Historically a go-to weather app for many long-time users.
Provides weather data and alerts that some users still rely on.
Aligns with users' weather-tracking needs and serves as a core weather source for some.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezing, including issues on startup and during use.
Radar/map problems such as flickering, slow loading, and inaccurate future radar.
Excessive and poorly targeted notifications causing alert fatigue.
Intrusive ads after updates and concerns about data privacy/collection.
Reworked UI/color scheme and layout changes that reduce readability and remove familiar features.

Recent reviews

Useless app. Try to sign up for emergency weather alerts and it also comes with about 5-10 daily notifications about how nice the weather is going to be that day and there is no way to stop them. I’ll stick with my real weather app. Should have known better than a weather app from a News company. Have to keep my eye out for that Severe Weather Light Rain they called for.
