FOX12 Weather Reviews

by D 34

I really liked the older weather app. It did what I wanted. I have family in other states and also different city's in Oregon. It was so easy to check what theirs rather was doing. Click what you saved and their weather popped up. This new app does not meet my needs. I have tried your new app, I don't like it! Wish I could get the old app! I would give no stars for FOX12Weather if I could.

Ya know the saying don’t mess with things that are working great? Well the old version from last year was much better than this one.
And now the latest update makes it impossible to check the weather in other areas that you have saved as favs...
It was so good last year!

I’m trying to see what the forecast will be like where I’m at right now, and I go to look at the incoming weather system, and I zoom in and it has my current location in a whole different city... Totally inaccurate! Not cool

Your station has the best weather reports and articles but the font size for FOX12Weather is way too small. Please add the ability to adjust it in app settings or increase the size across the board. On an iPhone 7 it is too small to read.

FOX12Weather does not stand up to the other one you had. This one makes it to hard to read. I want the old one back please.

The February so-called "branding" update ruined a great app. The excellent radar is now useless, the focus doesn't change based on the location, I've lost all the saved locations, and you only have one location anyway. Nor earthquakes, wind, etc... We've also lost 24 hour and 10 day forecasts, which were very useful for trending even though they weren't completely accurate. There's no way the powers-that-be at KPTV couldn't have known this would tick people off, so it must be that they don't give a rip about FOX12Weather (or the people !viewers! who use it) as long as they can "check the box" and say they have one. Deleting the useless thing as soon as this review posts...

I don't usually write reviews but am making an exception for FOX12Weather. Fox 12 in my opinion is one of the more accurate weather forecasts in the Portland area, the problem I have with FOX12Weather is the amount of advertising it has.

You can barely see the 7 day forecast for the advertising! The snow report is a joke - also barely usable as it just opens a website, which is not localized and too small to read. I am not interested in Breckenridge web cams - I want to see Timberline and Batchelor. Places that have more relevance. Come on guys you can do better!

FOX12Weather is very helpful of finding out where the storm is heading.

They must have the interns run FOX12Weather. I understand that weather forecasting is a hit and miss thing (which is still kind of amazing considering our technological level these days) but when they say 20% chance of rain, they fail to mention that the next 5 hours of 20% adds up to 100%. There forecast says cloudy, it's raining. They say partly cloudy, it's mostly cloudy. FOX12Weather doesn't even match the T.V. forecast and neither one matches what's on the web site. At least if they matched it would seem less like different people practicing Voo- Doo in separate rooms at the station.

I’ve been using FOX12Weather as my primary weather source for years and will continue to do so. The addition of the radar feature is really cool, but I do miss the 10 extended forecast. I would bump this back up to a 5 star review if that feature was brought back. P.S. Thank you Mark Nelson for never blowing the forecast out of proportion.

I like this stations weekly forecast graphics and the live radar, but I dont need the video with audio to stay playing (off screen so I don't even know where it's coming from) especially when I'm checking FOX12Weather at work. Please give us the option of using our data to play the video when we want to.

The update is terrible
No more weather where you are or hourly weather

UPDATE
They fixed the hourly and FOX12Weather is working great again. Thanks Channel 12!

FOX12Weather is very similar to the functionality of intellicast which doesn't have it's own app, so this one is great, and the temperature map is a top of the line function and on many accounts is the most accurate tool of it's kind. FOX12Weather is great for it's radar as well, must get in my opinion!!!

by F8ster

This is a very nice limited-scope app. I like the animated radar loops; you can zoom in to your location, and the radar data is partially transparent, so you can still see the city names behind it -- nice. One suggestion: include daily weather blog from one of the ch. 12 meteorologists.

My Dog loves FOX12Weather. Need the radar information to schedule daily walks & FOX12Weather is the Awesome!! Have tried multiple local sources but found the Fox 12 Weather Radar as best for accuracy & predicting incoming rain. Didn't realize that radar sources are so different but Highly recommend Fox 12.

by Ricodee

Gets right to the point and gives me exactly what I'm after: 10 day forecast, maps, hourly, and alerts. That's all I need, and that's what I get. If the forecast changes suddenly, the info on FOX12Weather changes also. It seems to have a different forecast than Accuweather on occcasion, but Fox 12WX is local. So I watch that one more.

We’re fortunate in Oregon to have several excellent meteorologists. The Dean of this exclusive weather forecasting community is Mark Nelsen, an Oregon original.
