3/5Not Buggy Dont Update
This App ran great until I did the update with ‘bug fixes’ for crashes and load issues. What I didnt have before is now a problem. Crash after crash, Load issues, gps location are all problematic now. Lightning data works very rarely. Its really to bad there is not an ‘Undo Update’ option for All Apps. Ban the term ‘bug fixes’.

2/5Not what it used to be
I’m disappointed in the direction this app has gone. I used to love it and use it several times a day. Now there’s too many ads that get in your face right when you open it. Currently that ad is a picture of an elderly person that frankly is grotesque. Being old myself, I want to find another app just for that reason alone. Where did the past radar views go? I can’t find them and believe they are gone. It’s more informative to see the progression from the past and then look at the future. On the daily view, today opens up automatically when you go there, limiting the view of the rest of the week. Liked it before when all the days were closed and you could see the whole week and then pick the days of importance to view details. Sounds silly, but it’s really annoying when something works the way you want and expect, only to see it changed without warning just for the sake of change. I could go on, but it’s not that important. There are many other apps out there. I’ll just have to go find one that isn’t annoying….until they change it. Then I’ll move on again…

5/5Like it
I like the alerts and especially like the radar because you can zoom in or zoom out and see what’s coming. I appreciate being able to go to the most recent weather broadcast from the channel as well as being able to go anywhere in the world on the radar. I’ve loved it but occasionally the radar blanks out but that was only recently perhaps the latest update will adjust that

5/5Love the updates!
The updated app is now my go to weather app! Really like the upgrades in radar. My other radar app was ruined in updates, this is the closest thing to what I like now. I don’t like being forced into watching loops at speed. I need to be able to move the sliders at my own pace! Thank you Fox 5 for the improvements on a what already a good weather app!

2/5Radar not useful
I used to really like this app and find it to be the most correct source of weather information in my area, but lately the radar has been COMPLETELY inaccurate. It looks like what it’s showing is what was predicted at the beginning of the day, but not actually what is occurring at the time I check. I’m not sure what use of radar is if it’s not showing accurate information. I hate using the Apple Weather app, but it’s more accurate lately than this one.
