FOX Weather: Daily Forecasts for Negative User Reviews

✓ Depressing Attitude appThis is my favorite weather app, but the notifications I get are always phrased in such a dramatic, overly depressing way. It reminds me of the National Enquirer, which used to be placed near grocery checkouts. There were always sensationalistic headlines to catch your attention. How about a sunny day remark occasionally? Update; I don’t think you bothered to read my 1st comment because today when I opened my iPad, I was greeted with the statement that you have a video of a huge roof top crane toppling over because of an earthquake. I have no desire to watch a video, which has nothing to do with weather. I’ll stick to Yahoo Weather..Bubblesm1Version: 2.27.1

✓ Hoping for a redesignI’m a supporter of Fox and I’ve tried to like this app but I just can’t get there. I do think the forecasts are accurate but the app layout is terrible and even though this is a new app you had everybody else's app to look at and decide what was user friendly, looked good, and worked. There’s too much wasted space especially on the iPad, fonts way too small, icons like the clouds, sunshine, rain, etc. are microscopic and need to be much larger. I’m not suggesting you need to cram too much information on any one page but make the information that’s on it larger. Too much relevant information is embedded way too deep and requires way too many clicks to get to; try finding the hourly wind speed quickly or what are the low temperatures for the week ahead. Weather Underground is horrible now but before they got bought out there was none better. For now I’ll go back to WeatherBug and give Fox a little more time to come up with a big redesign..GonenutsVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Lack of detailThe application presents the usual data that you can get from any weather application. There is, however, a significant lack of data. I. The current screen there is no probability of precipitation, UV index, humidity etc. all of this is on the home page widget but conspicuously missing on the home page. There is no astronomical data ( sunrise, sunset, etc). The daily forecast does not include probability of precipitation or forecast low temperature. I was hoping for an application that would at least provide as much as weather underground. This was very disappointing. But the 3D radar is cool. Guess it’s marketing over information again..DQ201Version: 1.0.3

✓ Visuals IndistinctI am always anxious to find a good weather app. This one looks promising but when you look at the icons for the hourly and daily forecasts they are so similar as to be indistinct on the iPhone display. You can’t tell the difference between cloudy, showers, light rain etc so as to be nearly useless. Be more imaginative and bold with the icons so the user can determine at a glance what they mean, otherwise it’s not even as useful as the generic apple weather app which is very basic but more informative than this app. I look forward to improvements, or will end up deleting as I have other weather apps I had hopes for..RwbillVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Same as others but has potentialMost of the information provided is similar to the other app-services. But the advanced date and location weather planning is a good start but far short of what I expect for newer apps. For Event planning you should be able to share an event and collaborate with others. Additionally for add Trip planning you should be able to pick a start and end destination along with start and end dates and get route weather- possibly collaborating with a map planner- and even local area news for trip/route. And possibly add a news feed for news about the event and secondary news about the area of the event.SnlankVersion: 1.0.3

✓ App fails you when you need itI downloaded this app on the recommendation of a friend. It worked great for the first several weeks. Then when I would launch it, I would only get a black screen that would not go away. I deleted the app, reinstalled it and it worked fine for another several weeks. Then the black screen began to happen again. I reinstalled it a second time and it seemed to work, but failed us again during Hurricane Ian. We live in Florida. We had to rely on another app for our weather updates. I have now permanently deleted this app from my phone. I’m not sure if this problem is only with the iPhone 12, but a family member with the same phone had the same issue..J121 from FloridaVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Latest updates bombard users with intrusive AdsThis was one of the best weather apps in the store. I switched to the FoxWeather app from the WeatherChannel due to the pop up ads. Some of the ads were down right intrusive and crashing the app. Now, the Fox Weather app is having the same pop ups. I am trying to understand the logic behind businesses who have ads pop up in such a way that you cannot use your phone unless you force quit the app. In addition, some of the advertisements are looking very much like malware. Do they not understand the frustration this causes the user of the app? Do the advertisers not understand the impact they have on the users and are just hoping for an accidental click? Goodbye Fox Weather..ThespywhoVersion: 2.16.0

✓ ADSI nearly already deleted the app because of these intrusive ads that pop up without option to delete for many seconds. The ridiculous dementia ad with an offer to download some game app, or the ad to speed up my phone that goes away after you wait on a countdown and the ‘x’ is hidden on all of them forcing a search for it in an elusive and tiny option that may or may not finally appear in a non-conspicuous corner! Give me a break. If I want an app or to see a discount that prods me to go on to a Medicare site to prove for some elusive discount and give up personal data, I know how to find it. When I want weather I use a weather app. I have more than one. They’re all over the place. I’m plain-spoken. Fox has been my go-to for weather and news. If this (and other mainstream nonsense) doesn’t change, I’m out of all it. Thanks for the opportunity to let you know why I’ll be gone. I have searched for a feedback route..DTOM MikeVersion: 2.20.0

✓ I’m having trouble with articles on your app.I pulled up the article about the cold weather in Florida, and the “falling iguanas.” The problem was, when reading the article, the screen would go completely black, or blank. I then had to wait for it to reappear. Other times, the article would jump around. The text was shortened, and I clicked on “read more” to read the rest of the article. Then the article almost immediately collapsed again to the abbreviated format and I had to click on “read more,” again. After this happened three times and the black, blank screen appeared several times, I gave up. What a pain it is to read an article! FYI: I am using an iPhone 6s-plus..Alan290Version: 2.9.2

✓ Missing somthingI was so excited for the FOX Weather App to come out but after watching all the previews for the app on FOX News it just did not live up to the hype! I love the 3D Radar but it only shows past to current time. What use is that to anyone. Why should I care about a 3D modeling radar of past weather to current? We need a future cast showing radar for past, present, and future. Everyone knows weather can change at the drop of a dime so trying to stay up to date on radar that only shows past to present is useless. I understand it’s a brand new app and hopefully with future updates the app will finally be the Weather App that lives up to its hype. I will change my review with each update but in its current state I can honestly only give it 3 stars..Jweaver1982Version: 1.0.3

✓ Freezes!!Every time I open it to get my weather my my area, it displays it quickly and then disappears!! It freezes while in use while reading the stories . The switching from radar to home, from plan to radar, whatever I seem to switch from or to seems to lock up the app! Can’t turn off my phone and eventually at some point it allows me to back out of it! Driving me crazy! I’m deleting the app, I’m not sure what to replace it with, they all seem to have their problems. If I was going to stick with it I would suggest the radar capability be improved from a few hours to at least 3-4 days of a radar weather pattern! It doesn’t really reflect what’s happening and what will be happening in day 24 hrs!.PaperLady01Version: 1.0.4

✓ A lot to like, some to dislikeIt is fairly accurate, though for some reason it frequently misses the current temperature where I live by a few degrees, and I live 15 minutes from the airport (as the crow flies). The forecasts are pretty darn reliable though…and I love it when it says ‘rain in 20 minutes’ and by gosh drops start falling right on the minutes! I find the news and information section very interesting but here is the part I VERY MUCH DISLIKE! They have SO MANY ADS sprinkled in the information it is extremely difficult to tell article from advertisement! Frequently I select ‘read more’ or something similar only to be taken on a wild goose chase of click bait or some sales pitch! I KNOW the article has not concluded….and I am very interested in the topic. If they fix this they can get 5 (4.5 actually, 5 would be perfect) stars again..Mr. MytzelplixVersion: 2.17.0

✓ Poorly designed layout/presentationsHome Screen is totally cluttered and difficult to read as as numbers and symbols overlap. Read out for basic data is set out vertically poorly identified and confusing to readily absorb. Failure to use more color in data presentation to make easier comprehension. 3D radar cloud/storm/rain is excellent, but lacks sufficient specific geographic identification capability to be useful for forecasting planned events. Perhaps designers should have reviewed other apps such as Dark Sky before launching this fairly poor product. Concept of incorporating total weather coverage with live studio broadcasts, national situations, stories …etc. is excellent..Hauto hermitVersion: 1.0.3

✓ I can look outside and tell better weatherI like Fox. I do not like the weather team. Tonight we had a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and I got the warning twice. It was set to expire at 10 pm. Looking at the hour by hour we had a 30% chance of precipitation and thunderstorms at 5 pm. It got a bit dark, but I figured we weren’t going to see anything with a 30% chance. It’s an hour later and its sunny and the severe thunderstorm warning was cancelled. I find it completely fascinating that I can look at the app and see it’s going to be something, like say thunderstorms, and right before we get there they disappear. It changes minutes before we get there. Sunny? No thunderstorms? Nope, now there are! 🤦🏻‍♀️.MysticTwilight92677Version: 2.20.1
