3/5Weather app yes
I liked Fox during very severe weather over quite a few years. But recently I sought a Fox Weather app for Atlanta, only found the Fox News app and thought this was the only access. For reasons not pertinent to weather, this was a deal breaker. A friend showed me the separate app, so here I am. I like it. Focuses on local, easy to navigate, so far continues to be accurate and although drama and hooks are not absent, you’ve kept it pretty darn clean. NOAA is my gold standard but since they “improved” their app, it’s not as helpful as it used to be. Please continue to stick to the weather and don’t let anything else smear into your part of the network.

3/5Bad update
Just did the 11/24 update. It made the app worse. Not sure what bug fixes you meant but please correct the app from switching screens when scrolling. I scroll to see the hourly on the home screen and it switches over to the hourly screen. I didn’t want it to do that. I scroll down, and when the screen stops it automatically jumps to a different screen. Sometimes it’s the hourly and sometimes it’s daily. Those options weren’t selected.

1/5Recent Update Broke App
I have a paid weather app that I loved until I found the local fox5 app to be more accurate with an easier to use interface, and was using this app almost exclusively, even when traveling (works great even in other cities and countries). However a recent update made the app unusable, where you cannot scroll or touch the app anywhere without it immediately selecting as if you tapped rather than scrolling. Went from one of the cleanest and simple to use app to an absolute headache to open for even the simplest check of current weather. Hope they roll back the most recent changes and fix the bug that was introduced!

5/5Amazing!
Wow! I cannot thank Fox 5 Storm Team enough! I was staying at friends house and had fallen asleep when my phone went off with the tornado alert! There was a local tornado and I was able to call and inform my family at my house down the road! I was so happy to be able to be alerted when something bad was headed towards me or my family! Thank you so much for taking care of us and for being the BEST weather app ever!!!!

3/5Used to be great
I use this app religiously to watch radar and weather for managing my horses and weather to keep them inside or turn them out or to track incoming foul weather. Over the past 6+ months or so the app crashes every time I try to add a new city. I periodically add and remove places according to where I’m traveling and the app crashes every time. I have to add the new place at least 5 or more times before it will show up in the app.
