Contact FOX 9 Weather Support

Love Ian Leonard, but his weather app is the worst. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they promote this app so heavily. There’s only one part of this app that is accurate and that is the radar. Every other element is out of touch with reality. Forecasts NOT even close to the National Weather Service. Most of the daily forecasts are literally a guess just to fill in space, Not to mention none of the elements in the daily info even match what the Fox 9 TV segment says. Winds for example will show the same direction and speed for days which we all know aren’t true unless the earth stops moving. Really Ian, your beloved app is distorting you and your team’s reputation. Stay on top of updating the information and you’ll be the go to app for ACCURATE weather reliability.
And one last thing, School Closing tab does not work at all. Not accurate and very seldom posts any information. What good is it. Insert the tab when there is info to share otherwise hide it until there’s useful information to share.

I’ve had this app for 6 years, and I loved it! However, this new update completely changed everything. This app is now terrible and annoying. The new layout is horrible and can be confusing. I wish I could change it back to the previous version because that version was simple, easy to use, and it worked well. Also they encourage you to turn on notifications so you know about severe weather updates in your area, however it also notifies you every time there’s a stupid weather headline (example- Monday morning snow caused 200 crashes on MN roads) and there is no way to turn those off and just receive the important severe weather warnings so you’re constantly getting stupid notifications that are nothing to be concerned about. So after having the app for 6 years, I am seriously considering deleting it. The new update killed this app!

Frequently we get “Network Error. Failed to connect” message. Probably 1/2 to 3/4 of the time. Have to force close and restart the app to get weather updates.

As other people have mentioned, it is slow to transition from portrait to landscape mode, which is the way we nearly always use the iPad.

And, sometimes the ad at the bottom of the screen covers up the Home, Hourly! Daily, and Map buttons so you cannot move from screen to screen. Again, have to force close the app and restart.
