FOX 5 Atlanta: Storm Team Reviews

I use FOX5Atlanta religiously to watch radar and weather for managing my horses and weather to keep them inside or turn them out or to track incoming foul weather. Over the past 6+ months or so FOX5Atlanta crashes every time I try to add a new city. I periodically add and remove places according to where I’m traveling and FOX5Atlanta crashes every time. I have to add the new place at least 5 or more times before it will show up in FOX5Atlanta .

Wow! I cannot thank Fox 5 Storm Team enough! I was staying at friends house and had fallen asleep when my phone went off with the tornado alert! There was a local tornado and I was able to call and inform my family at my house down the road! I was so happy to be able to be alerted when something bad was headed towards me or my family! Thank you so much for taking care of us and for being the BEST weather app ever!!!!

Since the last update, I now have a map with so many alert overlays that I can’t even see the radar! Hard freeze alerts, wind advisories, gale warnings, frost warnings, red flag fire advisories —- the map is a checkerboard of so many shapes and colors that the radar is completely obliterated, making it useless! There’s no way to turn off all the overlays — I never even turned them on; they just showed up one day, and I hate it! Ready to dump this one and find another local app that’s not such a mess....

I give FOX5Atlanta 3 stars as it worked pretty well
For about a year. I updated FOX5Atlanta yesterday after receiving a notification and now FOX5Atlanta will not open. I guess I’ll have to delete n then reinstall. Such a waste of time. Why can’t an app just do what it is supposed to?

Looks like I’m not the only one! Tried deleting and re-adding FOX5Atlanta and now it’s worse because all the previously saved cities are gone 😬!!! I was able to add one new location then when I tried to add the second - boom! Crashed. Now same result as before, try to add a new location and immediate crash. Used to like FOX5Atlanta for the navigation and vipr radar. But now only works for my current location and Pigeon Forge, TN.

FOX5Atlanta works now for a day then just won’t open. Having to delete and download again daily. I used to really rely on this weather app. Can’t any longer. Earlier comments below.

Rated highly until the last update. Now FOX5Atlanta just stops working since it was updated. I have deleted and reinstalled it five times. It works for approximately two days and then stops completely. Thinking I’ll have to move on to another weather app.

Really informative app. I like that it’s specific to the area I live in. The problem is that part of the content is cut off in landscape view on iPad. If you rotate the iPad vertically then the full content is viewable. If you fix this it would be great!

Do not like it—- too busy. If you were going to change anything, why not the color of the city you have selected.??? Now with this new update when you want to see daily or hourly an ad pops up on the screen— really is this the best you can do ??

I have used FOX5Atlanta for not only our local weather but also my family's towns as well as vacation destinations, but, lately FOX5Atlanta just stops working! I have had to delete FOX5Atlanta then reinstall many many times! So aggravating and not what I expect from Fox 5!! Please fix!!

I like FOX5Atlanta I like whether apps and this is the best app I have ever seen you can take a picture to see what whether it is and share to fox 5 people!!

Why... when I just want to see the dang weather do I have to stare at a roller coaster ad for a comatose that isn’t even in this state... oh and it sits there for about a minute before you can see the dang weather map. Come on!!

I have used WSB’s app for years. After realizing that WSB’s was not as good as it used to be I looked around for another ATLANTA-Based news outlet for a weather app. This one is outstanding. I love the very robust radar. Thanks Fox 5.

Thanks Fox 5. Guess I have to move on to another Weather app because Fox 5 no longer works on my iPad. Shame that weather app does not support older iPads and no going to buy another one just to get the weather. Will stop watching Fox 5 too. Goodbye.

Storm tracks are now just dots with arrows unless you zoom in really close. The new color schemes of the map are awful, and it’s an OLD satellite view, our house-built 3 yrs ago- is not even on the map anymore! Go back to old map, much easier to read and much better storm/rain tracks! Do not like the map updates at all!!

I can’t tell y’all how many times it said it wasn’t going to rain, and then it does. Yesterday (8-6-21) it said there was a 10% Chance of rain today (8-7-21) now there is a 55% chance and we’re about to have storms. If they can’t predict next day weather, what is FOX5Atlanta or “Storm Team” even good for. Deleted.

Like all the features but like all the other weather apps , no mention or the ability to get information about fronts that are passing through my area

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FOX5Atlanta 5 times in the past 6 months. It works fine provided I stay at home and even then it will only work for a few days before I have to uninstall and reinstall it.

I am getting notifications after the rain comes through my city, which is no warning. Need to know just before.

We had a tornado watch today and I let my family know! We now know when to get to shelter! Thank you so much! <3

An alert appears. I touch the alert. FOX5Atlanta opens. I then click the main phone button, and my main screen comes up. This action bypasses all of my Iphone security.

FOX5Atlanta is removed as of now. Let me know when the security problem is fixed. Otherwise i find FOX5Atlanta useful and well done.

I enjoy these apps, fox5news and storm app but it’s limited on devices. Please add to other devices!! You’re behind the times and forcing us to use other apps on Apple TV for viewing on TV.

Have had FOX5Atlanta for about 2 years, but it fails way too often. Says “network error”! Then I have to delete and put it on again. Have an IPHONE 7, don’t have problems with any other app.

Each release gets slower to load. Overall, a good app, but could use some optimization.

Love FOX5Atlanta and weather info WHEN IT WORKS.

More often than not, I get a network error and it tells me to make sure my iPhone isn’t in airplane mode. Does the same on my mom’s phone too.

Won’t pull any weather data, so FOX5Atlanta is useless. I have to uninstall and re-install to get it to work.

Also, the ad that it shows every time you open FOX5Atlanta is annoying. It sits on that screen for like a minute and it’s about an amusement park in FLORIDA. So irrelevant. Makes it obvious that it’s just to make them $

Uninstalled from all my devices.

I keep having to delete FOX5Atlanta and download it again from the cloud to get it to open. After that it works for a while. Then “rinse...repeat.” Frustrating.
