What reviewers actually said
Built only from these 50 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] FOX Weather Do they use their own APP: Horrible. Whenever a story from Fox turns into a story from Fox Weather, I just close it. The APP takes up WAY too much screen, making it difficult, if not, impossible at times to scroll. You guys are are reaching, trying to get articles on the weather app. There is no need for this app.
- [R6] FOX Weather Highly disruptive ads: Waay too much annoying advertising covering entire screen just to read basic information.
- [R16] FOX Weather Best accurate weather: Great coverage on current conductors
- [R17] FOX Weather No Ads Please: Why all the constant advertisements? There are plenty of weather apps to choose from.
- [R7] FOX Weather Worthless: The WORST WEATHER APP IN THE WORLD. IF TODAY IS MONDAY THESE WEATHER IDIOTS COULD NOT PREDICT THE NEXT DAY IS TUESDAY. BETTER OFF NOT PAYING $2.00 and placing a rock on the lawn or look up at the sky for a FAR MORE ACCURATE FORECAST. NOT WORTH 1 STAR.
- [R8] FOX Weather Inaccurate: Weather channel app is more accurate and radar show additional hot of time
- [R11] FOX Weather Garbage: The radar only works until you have a big life threatening storm and then it does nothing. The weather isnt half accurate, this app is absolute garbage.
- [R15] FOX Weather Hummm: Not accurate.. not reliable.. As I write this review.. says rain starting in 40 min… as it’s pouring now.. quite common
- [R3] FOX Weather Layout: Finding and adding towns/city. Extended 14 day forecast.
- [R4] FOX Weather Poor map display: Your old display for weather fronts, storms and the like was very good
- [R30] FOX Weather Improvement: On your radar, your data rate is extremely slow, as I watch every step of the process of the different overlays. Even then, 75% I actually have to tap the screen to see if the outlines of the State and Counties. Now, I have to understand that I’m using an older iPhone 15SE, and my miserable 64GB’s is full, and this wasn’t the case a few months ago. I blamed the upgrade, because eve
- [R9] FOX Weather Story Links: Stories linked on Fox News go to weather home page, not the article. You have to scroll to find it.
- [R13] FOX Weather Not the article: Fox weather has teaser notifications. I select a specific one and the “tease” doesn’t come up.
- [R19] FOX Weather STOP with the vague article titles.: There are so interesting articles BUT…..stop the annoying vague titles like the one today indicating beaches in this state are closed due to fecal matter in the water. What state? I’m on the WEST COAST! Now ask me if I give a damn about a closed beach in Massachusetts? State the location in your title! Yeah yeah I know, you care more about clicks than your inte
- [R31] FOX Weather Confusing App: I receive notifications of weather events and when I click on them I am taken to a map that has nothing to do with location of the event. Something is amiss but good luck getting an answer out of Fox Weather.
- [R22] FOX Weather Days are not updated: Love the app but there are times that the day or times are not updated and they show yesterday times and I have to reboot my apple phone to correct it. I also paid for the no adds and I still get them.
- [R37] FOX Weather Where do the stories go?!: Bad app, or I’m just untechy. A byline is presented in Fox News, but when I click on it, I’m rerouted to Fox Weather and the story is nowhere to be found.
- [R2] FOX Weather 🎯: Especially accurate at the Local Level!!!!
- [R10] FOX Weather Great information: I can always depend on getting timely weather forecasts.
