KTVU FOX 2 SF: Weather Reviews

by Mediahound2

Tried it. Failed. Disappointed. Gives same info as the apple weather app but offers radar and video (ostensibly from weather report on ch 2). It's cloudy and the actual nexrad radar site shows activity all over the Bay Area, but KTVUFOX2SF's radar page showed nothing. Then I tried the video option and when I clicked on it to play the news clip it froze my iPhone. Tried it several
times, froze it every time. I did let KTVUFOX2SF know where I am, but refused to let it "always know where I am even when KTVUFOX2SF isn't running," and perhaps that's the rub? But if that's the case, who needs it.

Well I feel this new version looks great but KTVUFOX2SF is barely use able. I keep receiving an error message “Failed to connect. Please check that airplane mode is off or that Wifi is connected.”

KTVUFOX2SF loads extremely slowly and I can't receive most hourly updates.

Way too many ads to the point where the ads cover the controls. You get full screen ads instead of weather info. Not a good substitute for the built in weather app.

App won’t initialize unless I restart the phone. This started after last is update and 1/3 app update

Here in the Bay Area that’s pretty important.

Not very user friendly. I need instructions on how to set up and use. Just blank pages??

Please fix your app ☹️it quit working

I thought that I had finally found a weather app which would supply accurate forecast and current condition temperatures. But, that has not been the case. There have been discrepancies of as much as 20 degrees between the forecast temperature and the actual temperature. Why the hell does it seem to be so difficult to build an accurate weather application for phones?

You wanna check the weather for weekend? Forgot it. They don't update video forecast for Saturday or Sunday. Whatever they predict on Thursday that's it. No update if condition change. Their Weekend TV forecast is not the same you watch here.

Worked a few times. Cannot get clouds and rain.
Commercials are over abundant. Control buttons work intermittently.

by Adrine

They have ads at the top which cut off the bottom so you can’t see the weather for the next few days at a glance. Useless

Love the content but KTVUFOX2SF keeps freezing up. There is some type of bug that needs to be addressed.

by MBWSF

Seems buggy. Freezes intermittently.

I like KTVUFOX2SF . Hate the adds that pop up.

by Nvh9

But fails intermittently. I get the logo screen but nothing happens.

This was really good but the constant freezes send me to Windy.

This is my go-to weather app. It has a good interface, is easy to use, and is pretty accurate. Two changes I would like to see:
The ability to alphabetize my locations and
A weather update each morning. I always check before bedtime and again in AM. They are always the same even though there is a change that occurs at night. Seems like KTVUFOX2SF only updates once every 24 hours
Thank you for this good app

Thanks KTVU for the only app that has radar images! During winter it is the best. My only complaint is that when I open KTVUFOX2SF in landscape mode KTVUFOX2SF stays in portrait mode. I have to rotate the iPad and then sometimes it doesn’t rotate.

Haven’t been able to find out how to update. Tried searching for info but no help. Have iPhone 6s. If I can’t get the update, how do I make the update banner go away?

This is now my favorite weather app. I would say a more reliable and detailed local weather forecast. By the way, you can add different locations. I wish people would explore KTVUFOX2SF before posting a bad review.
