Contact FOX Weather Support

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!

I’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.

I’m an unabashed Fox fan, but I originally rated their weather app at 1-star due to lack of landscape view on radar which was a non-starter for me. However, Fox listened to our negative feedback and quickly updated the app to correct the omission. So kudos for that, but the app still has a long way to go before it reaches anything close to 5 stars. The app is snappy, but the radar is surprisingly low-res. Not quite what I expected from Fox, or from a contemporary weather app. I like their 3D view radar feature, but hope that the depicted cloud top heights are based on actual altitude data rather than just a cute dramatization or loose guesstimate. Also, as other users have noted, I too have yet to receive any local weather alerts/notifications from the app. This is troubling. I’ve triple-checked my settings and they are correct, so I’m hopeful this anomaly will be corrected in future updates. Until then, I’m giving a generous up-rating to 3 stars.
