User Reviews

Users consistently praise the radar feature when it works and the overall UI, with some viewing Fox 26 as a decent option. However, the app is widely criticized for intrusive ads (including full-screen videos), unreliable radar updates, crashes/slow launches, and navigation glitches that trigger unintended actions. Outdated video content also frustrates users. Overall, ad load and reliability issues outweigh the positives.

Pros

Radar feature is a strong, useful component when it renders correctly.
App is generally easy to use and understand.
Positive sentiment toward Fox 26 weather staff and content relative to competitors.
Nice user interface/appearance (UI) noted by some users.

Cons

Ads are intrusive, often full-screen, and hard to close.
Radar reliability issues: not updating, blinking, behind real-time, or inaccurate.
Performance and stability problems: crashes during storms, slow launches, freezes.
UI navigation glitches causing unintended taps/links or overlays turning back on.
Some content outdated or not updated (outdated videos).

I removed this app because the ads below the weather reporting were really off putting and actually disgusting. I understand you have to have ads but make them more pleasing. thank you.

Zero stars needed. Big fat Zero 0! Update was 2 days ago. The daily forecast opens with full screen ads! No way to cancel/skip or close them. Same for hourly forecast! The ads do not fade or stop or just disappear. What the heck? I deleted your app and went back to ABC 13, KPRC 2 and KHOU 11 apps.
