WLOX Weather Reviews

Since WLOXWeather updated to the current version and style I don’t even get all the stories that should be on it. I also follow WLOX on Facebook and I see stories there that I’m not even able to find on WLOXWeather . Also, previous versions had a picture beside the heading of the story. This version is just a bland looking story title. The current version is ok if local news isn’t much of an interest to you, but if that’s the case, I recommend using another app that’s better organized with less ads.

When I look for a weather app, especially one that is supposed to offer targeted, local, and breaking weather stories, I look for something that gets to the gist of the issues quickly. Having to endure 15 seconds of the same Allen Toyota video(which cannot be skipped) causes WLOXWeather to be less competitive than other mainstream weather apps. And after the mandatory advertisement video, many concerning reports are simply a repeat of the weather forecaster. Updated information is slow to come by. I think I’ll change to weather underground again.

Turned off all notifications on my iPhone in phone settings and app settings (left severe weather on only) but was still receiving the less important ones from different meteorologists-did not want if it wasn't severe weather. Uninstalled.

Channel 13 is an invaluable aid to my outdoor activities. Although weather changes frequently, the weather team does their best to help me plan from hour to hour.

Terrible weather we are having. Got sun burned during the time you said bad thunderstorms. Farmers almanac a year early is more accurate than y’all. Check your app for Lucedale today. I would fire all of the weather crew. Channel 5 out of another state has more accurate information than y’all in Mississippi. Only reason you got a one star rating is because it wouldn’t let me rate you lower.

For checking your everyday weather it’s fine but if there is a severe weather update that could be concerning for your safety you must first watch this ad before you can watch the update. Bravo. Surely our local weather station makes enough money to support an App without the use of ads before important weather updates.
Edit: now there is a beautiful Walgreens ad dead center of the screen. Time to find another source.

Update videos post and if what the meteorologist needs to say can’t be fit in 59 seconds, it cuts it off. It’s about the most annoying part of WLOXWeather other than having to constantly watch Allen Toyota ads. I use WLOXWeather multiple times a day but I’m starting to lose my patience.

Sometimes the videos don’t load. When they do, a long loud commercial comes up. Would rather see text on top with brief update with an option to view the video below.

So happy with WLOXWeather since I can’t watch channel 13 even if I do live in Hancock. Keeps me up with weather and news. I feel like it’s better than TV. Thank you, Nelda Stockstill

I utilize (and very much appreciate) WLOX’s weather radar app, as well as the constant video updates! You are truly “saving lives!” All of your dedicated meteorologists are most certainly unprecedented in my 64 years on the MS. Gulf Coast! “GREAT JOB!”

It takes a good 20 seconds for it to open which is very irritating. Because of the slow load up, I often go to The Weather Channel to quickly see the forecast. I will say that once WLOXWeather opens, it turns into a very nice and user friendly app.

Hey I am sure you’re getting the right salinity but for heaven’s sakes please move your salinity check point! We are crabbers, and residents of gautier and rely on the salinity level! As so many people!

Thank you for making it everything free,WLOX,LLC. I really love this weather app better than my old one.

I used WLOXWeather for my weather area but, lately it's been disappointing because for quite some time every time I open it to check the weather for my area, it opens a different location (and it's the same location) every time that's many states away from me. Please fix it but, in the mean time I'll not be using it.

Can you change the scene that first appears when you open WLOXWeather or does it change automatically?

Has crazy as our weather can be, WLOX is always giving the most accurate and enjoyable recap

It’s sad that there’s commercials during Tornado warnings. Here I am trying to pull up the video all while Toyota commercials are the only things that play without lag. I will never purchase from that company now. It’s concerning you allow commercials & then try to stream at HD when people’s lives & homes are at stake...

Thank y’all:)! The WLOX weather app is the best. Everything you need for accurate local weather and more with the“follow me” feature.

Not posted at the same time. Not always the first video

I cannot survive without WLOX weather app. As a retiree, it allows me to plan all my daily and weekly activities and errands efficiently and effectively well in advance. Thanks WLOX!

I can NEVER get a video to load it tells me “video error- can’t load video” ???? I’m giving it three stars because I can see the hourly forecast. I loathe the Allen Toyota ad.

It seems like every time I attempt to use WLOXWeather there are more adds. Now there is an add in the middle of the daily forecast that requires a finger the size of a fairy’s to close and if you don’t get it closed it just keeps jumping up & down on the screen. I am deleting WLOXWeather & going to the WXXV app.

Downloaded WLOXWeather trying to get real time updates on dangerous flooding occurring in my area. However, WLOXWeather kept crashing and I wasn’t able to see anything I needed to see. I will continue to use google when I need quick information.

I had deleted WLOXWeather in favor of other weather apps that actually worked. After 3 years, I decided to give it another try...still slow, still freezes..obviously no attempts at fixing so deleted again

No alert to update versions

Would've given WLOXWeather 5 stars but for the irritating noisy ads that you can't skip or turn off. Otherwise WLOXWeather is a great improvement over the initial app that WLOX put out. Wanted to view the various thumbnails for the possible depression that will form in the Caribbean but the ad keeps repeating with each varied thumbnail. 😡

App to slow. To open could be better

News and weather apps have gone downhill even the TV graphics. WXXV has better apps plus AccuWeather and TV graphics look way better too! Switching to WXXV & AccuWeather goodbye WLOX 👋

WLOXWeather is slow and the forecasts are wrong at least 95% of the time. Not sure how this still exists. It’s complete and utter trash. This is me being nice.
