FOX Weather: Daily Forecasts Reviews

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 FOXWeather to correct the omission. So kudos for that, but FOXWeather still has a long way to go before it reaches anything close to 5 stars.

FOXWeather 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 FOXWeather . 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.

I’m a supporter of Fox and I’ve tried to like FOXWeather but I just can’t get there. I do think the forecasts are accurate but FOXWeather 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.

Absolutely love FOXWeather. I hope the radar page will be able to get some additional features/layers. Current NWS alert overlays, surface analysis (fronts), tropical overlays, satellite (visible, infrared, etc), lightning, different basemaps, and current weather observations would be awesome. It would also be cool to be able to customize severe weather alerts by type or individually be able to turn them on or off. Hourly and 14 Day Weather should show % probability of precipitation as applicable. In the historical, the monthly snow amount has a “-“ even in the winter months. Would also like to see somewhere on that page where the data are coming from and if it’s using data for the closest city. There should also be an asterisk or something if a record has occurred in multiple years.

Overall, I really like FOXWeather better than other weather apps. However, there are a couple of things that make it difficult to use with confidence. First, the precipitation (raindrops) underneath the current temperatures (and on the 14 Day’s Highs/Lows) is in a similar color as the background and is nearly impossible to see. It would be nice to see precipitation percentage and perhaps the raindrops in a better contrast - perhaps black?

Second, I also like and appreciate the radar but miss (from other apps) the future radar as it allowed us to prepare for what was coming, especially in our area of the Smoky’s, where storms often split or even don’t make it here.

Otherwise, great layout and information that helps us plan and be prepared. Thank you!

FOXWeather warned me a full 24hrs, before any other app,and before the local news of “20-40 mph winds with 60 mph gusts expected and 70 mph gusts possible”, giving me precious time to prepare and save my 1948 classic teardrop trailer from the massive “widow maker” walnut tree, which fell, on the carport, where it had been parked beneath, just hours prior. The other apps sent out a warning, as the storm was nearly upon us, one even sent a warning after the storm had passed.
Not only is Fox a leader in how to do news, but now weather, as well!
Thank you Fox Weather 🙏🏻

P.s. Any chance you could make a Fox supply chain app, & show our current administration how to keep our shelves stocked?

I really enjoy FOXWeather , but I’m hoping to see a few adds/changes, if possible: 1) On the future planner, numerous times a portion of the forecast is cut off, i.e, low temp and sometimes hi temp as well. I’m hoping this can be adjusted. 2) Regarding the radar, I don’t see an option to cut off the “future” scans if we only want to see the past hour. Can this be added? 3) I’m not getting any audible alerts with the weather bulletins even though all my sounds are turned on. (iPhone) 4) The last thing, but IMO, a huge thing…can you please add the Fox Weather Alert System in either a live stream, or at least a very frequent auto-refresh mode we can tune into 24/7? This would be HUGE!!! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Fox Weather App is very confusing to use but the VERY WORST PART OF TH APP IS THAT ON MY IPAD IT ONLY SITS SIDEWAYS. It is very frustrating to have to read everything sideways or tip my iPad on its side. I would think a brand new app would be able to adapt to the iPads sitting in the keyboard. BJ I just tried the updated Fox News Weather for iPad and it does work well for the iPad now. BUT, the first thing I wanted to do is PLAN an event for January 13, 2022 and I could NOT GET THE DATE to STAY on anything but today’s date. What is that about. Cannot use a ;planner if you can’t change the date. LOL

Okay, I discovered that I had to set the year (2022) first before I could set the date of January 13th. So, now the PLAN program is working for me. Still a bit difficult to get around - buy I am learning. :-)

I would trust Fox with anything that pertains to news or weather. I enjoy listening to Tucker, Laura, and especially Sean Hannity! Their reporting is by far the most trustworthy. And now I can always count on getting the best most up to date weather forecast for my area and any other place of interest. The other Fox contributors are always spot on with their reporting also. I can always count on The Five, Tammy Bruce, Joe Concha are terrific reporters, just to name a few.
Keep up the good work to keep Fox on the top the heap. In my estimation, there is no other!
Thank you Fox

I was so excited for the FOX Weather App to come out but after watching all the previews for FOXWeather 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 FOXWeather 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.

I just heard about FOXWeather, on the Sky Tower 13 news this morning and I decided to check it out. I really like the 3D radar and the ability to change the angle of the view. I wish you had location markers for all of the saved locations and I hope that you will consider adding this. The ability to plan ahead, with the plan section is very helpful and everything about FOXWeather is really good. Thanks for bringing FOXWeather to us, it’s a winner and you hit a home run with FOXWeather. Thanks again!!!!!

Most 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

I’ve been a Weather Channel fan my whole life, so seeing the slow decline of the network into garbage reality programming has been sad to see, especially when they refused to cover confirmed tornadoes on the ground in favor of those reality shows. I was surprised to see just how outstanding Fox Weather really is. It’s like TWC used to be, 24/7 professional weather coverage with relatively few interruptions. Hopefully the early success I’m seeing with FOXWeather will be a wake-up call to its competitor!

I love watching FOX Weather I wake up in the morning when I eat breakfast I turn on FOX Weather but I have no problems with FOXWeather whatsoever but I only have one problem and that is airplay whenever I airplay Foxwater to my Roku or TV for some reason it won’t play! And I would love to have that problem fixed so I’ll have to say that I give fox weather five stars and I would love to see Fox weather available on Roku so to the developer a FOX Weather I love fox weather keep it up and keep updating and keep expanding s

The 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.

This Fox Weather App was very easy to download and use. I have been using it every day since Day 1. It has great visuals, videos, and reporting. The 3D feature is awesome and gives a unique perspective on the layering aspects of the weather. The calendar event feature for weather predictions is a neat addition to have also. I’ve put it to use already with two events. Thanks for all the hard work and prep that went in to creating this. Congratulations and good luck to the whole team!

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 FOXWeather ! 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 FOXWeather , 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 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 FOXWeather. I look forward to improvements, or will end up deleting as I have other weather apps I had hopes for.

Within 24 hours of downloading the Fox Weather app, I deleted every other weather app I used to use in conjunction with each other to track storms with radar, video, and articles. FOXWeather puts it all in one place. Best of all, it is accurate.
I love being able to watch current weather LIVE any time I want…for free. The anchors are wonderful. I hope to see this move to a network platform soon.

Beautiful weather app and easy to use!
Important request for the notifications to be adjusted. Weather alerts and warnings can keep you up all night if you get these alerts for every possible weather event. I would love to have notifications on just for tornado warnings. If I get warnings all night for flooding etc that doesn’t impact me I can’t keep notifications on for the more important warnings. Could FOXWeather have an added feature to choose which types of weather notifications you want?

I downloaded FOXWeather day one, and it replaced my AccuWeather app since, very well made app, love the extended days forecast, day, and nights, highs, lows included the same time. Only issue is with the widget, which is very important to me since I’m very busy at work, not having time to open FOXWeather , the widget changes to a precipitation widget during rain and a storm, but doesn’t change back unless I open FOXWeather , it needs to change back in order to be helpful to me, fix that, and I’ll give it 5 stars

Everything is snappy, smooth, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. Ads are non-intrusive (for now), the radar is easy to read at a glance (unlike an “accurate weather” competitor), and the 3D radar gimmick is a fun little way to visualize severe weather.

I can’t speak to the live feed as it doesn’t start for 11 more hours, but I can see this beating out the other 2 big guys for my go to weather app.

This is a very good weather app. Graphics are excellent — simple and easy to understand. Maps are easy to navigate and responsive when tapping on weather alerts. I like that FOXWeather isn’t bloated with a bunch of pointless extras that a lot of other weather apps are loaded with. Just simple and straight to the point.

Comprehensive weather news, accurate forecasts, easy to navigate, good graphics, no bugs, I enjoy it so far. I especially like the available 3D weather radar. And it’s free with not an overwhelming number of advertisements.

This is an app with a lot of dedication and passion to deliver the weather. It is nice to be able to book an event in future and keep an eye on it for vacations, work/family events, etc. Excellent job with an exciting group of top notch weather anchors!

FOXWeather looks great and feels great… Now we know who bought out the original app! Happy to see it return in a new form!

I was really looking forward to FOXWeather from Fox. Not up to their fine standards at all. Too much wasted space on the opening screen as well as too much news on weather totally unrelated to me and my local conditions.

Love the new app, been waiting for it - not disappointed at all. Really like the 3D weather radar!

Just trying FOXWeather. But having a 30 second ad, before every video is a deal breaker for me, not worth the hassle.
The remainder of FOXWeather looks promising, so I’ll give it a week.

Great app. Has almost everything. Please add wind speed and direction to the hourly forecast.

Would like to see the future radar. Only see historical. Don’t really care much about the past but more so what’s coming.

Congrats on finally making a weather app. Fox News FTW 🤩

Just deleted the weather channel app. Fox weather is bad a**. Love the 3D live map

Same as most news channel weather apps.

Hi Fox-
Your weather radar map needs the future cast option. The past radar (whatever time until present) isn’t all the useful. We already know what weather has passed us by, we want to know what’s coming our way.

Great weather app. I also used it as a pilot.
