FOX6 Milwaukee: Weather Positive Reviews
Return control to userI get increasingly annoyed at this app for jumping tabs for no reason. When I try to scroll through the main page, such as looking at the hourly information, the view jumps to the hourly tab without me choosing it, allowing me little to no time to read that info on the main page. If I want the hourly tab, let me, the user, click on it. This seems to be a relatively new change.
As a side note, this review page seems to be the only way to provide feedback. There are no avenues in the app itself to share this kind of feedback. It would be helpful if you added a pathway on the app itself to share this kind of information..Observations over the yearsVersion: 5.17.705
Great app BUT…I love this app and use it often to follow the weather conditions wherever I am. However, as a person who suffers from heat sensitivity, I wish this weather app would have a dew point forecast. It would be very useful for me to know what to expect so I can plan accordingly.
UPDATE: Still no dew point forecast and now it has completely been removed from the opening weather details screen. I have to use a different weather app just to check the current dew point..Charmed824Version: 5.14.700
Where did the dew point goMy husbands phone is identical to mine - he still has the dew point showing up on the main screen - mine has disappeared
I shut the phone down restarted it removed the app and reloaded nothing is bringing it back . What happened to this function ? And is there a way to correct this ? I know , like I said it is not the iPhone since hubs works fine
I also noted that your radar has been acting weird as well the last few weeks - showing severe weather and it is blue skies and sunny so something is not right thanks.MikicurliloxVersion: 5.15.401
Great update! Can we get a different background?This is a huge step forward for the Fox 6 Storm Center App. The only thing is, it would be nice if we could get a different background behind the daily and hourly forecasts. The current background is just too busy. Looking at some other channels in the area that use the same base app (e.g. Channel 3000, NBC 15, CBS 58), the background isn’t as busy and makes the content more legible. I prefer the Fox 6 video forecasts which is why I stick with this one but I prefer the backgrounds the other stations have chosen..Joed987Version: 5.0.802
Too many adsWhen I updated the app a couple weeks ago, ads show up on the hourly and daily sections, and lots of them! And it’s not always reliable. I just wanted to check for an hourly forecast for my area and ONLY ads came up when I scrolled from top to bottom; the same for the daily section. I appreciate the radar and detailed hourly listing, but it’s disappointing to see it has changed and doesn’t appear to always work now..KGjerdsetVersion: 5.15.401
VideoLove this app however recently the video forecast will not load.
The advertisements play but that is it.
Started about two weeks ago now..Wally tomVersion: 6.1.101
Delete Old AppIt only asks you to update again because you are opening the old app, instead of the new one. When you download the new app, it is separate from the old one..Jeff lynn (elo)Version: 5.0.400
Drains my batterySince I installed this new app and only change was this app my battery gets drained. I will look for a different weather app soon.Jic456Version: 5.3.400

Update always showsGet the app working properly it’s annoying and within 1 week. I will be finding another app for doplar if not fixed.BigD dVersion: 5.0.400
Not workingYour weather app stopped working for me. All I get is a blank screen. I switched over to WISN app for my weather information..DeblcherVersion: 5.3.907
Air Quality missingThe app does not provide any air quality information..Dewey0485Version: 5.4.944
BarrieExcellent app but Weather Map lately is awful and doesn’t work AT ALL? What’s up? And, get hourly dew points for phone not just tablets and computers.PurebarrieVersion: 5.8.500
Webcast doesn’t workWebcast hasn’t been working lately for some reason..Badgers2022Version: 5.3.907
Update disappointingThe update really uses too much data for me to keep on my android phone. So I use it on my IPad, and old version was able to share screen shot of map, or of forecast, etc. now has no option for that. Glad it did not automatically remove my old version of app.... I will continue to use that or try another weather app all together..MonekainwiVersion: 5.0.802

FOX6 Milwaukee: Weather Negative Reviews
Purposely have no way to contact themThis weather app is so bad the Fox six, and it’s developers have absolutely no method to reach out to them to point out things that are either dysfunctional within the app or straight out whether errors.
Most recent case in point is that the weather forecast for Menomonee Falls Wisconsin for tomorrow, Thursday, December 27, 2023 states on the main 10 day outlook that there is a 30% chance of precipitation… But when you open up the actual date for more details it literally says rain and snow showers in the morning changing to all rain in the afternoon chance of precipitation 70%! That’s just incompetence… and that’s on the weather staff at Fox six in Milwaukee that they don’t have their people checking that their outer layer data such as 30% chance of precept matches the inner layer which is 70%. And we’re supposed to trust them to be our provider? I took a screen capture of it but unfortunately, apples review software doesn’t allow one to paste a screen capture for some unknown reason.
And if this wasn’t just a random incident, why wouldn’t they have a clear and obvious link called “contact us“ with sub links to say, submit, a complement, whether errors, pages, not loading, etc.?
You can find better more trustworthy apps out there for Milwaukee area weather..Luckydog65Version: 5.12.700
Ads block weather infoThis used to be my go-to weather app. But recently, they have introduced full-page ads that block the visibility of the weather data. When you need to see a radar map quickly because a line of storms is coming toward you, seconds can count during a warning. This kind of app is not the place to play hide-and-seek with an ad. Disappointed in you, Fox6..Shaja12Version: 5.15.401
No audio!!!!!This app is great, weather alerts, radar, I’ve used it for years & I love it. EXCEPT when you go to watch the latest weather update & there is no sound on the video- for days at a time!! Turn on notifications, make sure my phone isn’t on silent, crank up the volume all the way. Nothing. Go to the Fox 6 website instead to watch it, still no audio. What’s the deal? Is nobody double checking this stuff? It’s a bit disappointing..Qrkygrrl80Version: 5.11.501
Really?When Rachel Kaye was with your station we would get regular weather reports during the day. Now the 5 am report is still running at 3 in the afternoon! When the actual weather situation seems to change much more frequently than that it would help if you keep us up to speed.
Your predicted high and low temps. never jive with your daily report and your hourly!
HOW DO WE UPDATE?!?!.Randy QVersion: 5.0.400
No good anymore!This used to be my go-to weather app. Not anymore! What happened to the dew point? No longer shows up on my app but does on my husband’s. I even rebooted my iPhone and deleted and reinstalled and still nothing. Sad, now I don’t know which weather app to download that doesn’t have a million pop up adds 🙄.LovestheBrewersVersion: 5.15.401
I hate apple productEvery time I opened this app a pop up asks if I want to update. Every time I hit “update” it took me to the App Store where I could open it but not update it. Thought maybe I would force an update by deleting my old app. Now I have NO app on my iPad and I still cannot install the new app. I hate apple products..GcnjutddbjkhfbVersion: 5.3.400
Huh??If you click on Daily it says today’s high will be 44. When you click on Hourly so see when it’s supposed to hit 44, no hour today is higher than 39. Happens all the time with this app. Get is synched up please?
Today says high of 51. Click on hourly to see when it’ll hit 51 and the highest temperature hour is 36 degrees. ??????.CGSchafesVersion: 6.1.601
Give us a present time sky vision mapPeople don’t need an app to watch an entire forecast. That’s what TV is for. Let us watch the sky vision map. And not like you do online where it shows the map for yesterday. We want to watch it for tomorrow folks. Thanks.DanimalwVersion: 5.5.801
Consistently Contradicts ItselfThe hourly forecast will show a high of 68°F. Then if you go to the daily forecast it shows a high of 79° how can you be this blatantly off!? Your live forecasts on TV have been abysmal for at least 1.5-2 years now but this app is now even more off than that!.UBB2019Version: 5.17.508
Bad app update!!!When I want to watch the weather videos all I get to se are the commercials and then the video freezes and doesn’t load. I try again then I get to watch the commercials again and once again the weather video doesn’t play..Jelly kittyVersion: 5.0.802
Too much dataI like the app, but it alone used almost 2gigs of data. I will be switching to a different app. I can’t have a weather app that uses all of my data..Klus83Version: 5.0.901
Sound is garbled and disappearsApp used to work great. Then no updates on forecast. Now sound is garbled and disappears on video forecasts. Is this app going defunct? Reinstall did not work..Qaz4567Version: 5.13.804
Wrong tempsI’ve used this app for so long. It’s been giving me the wrong weather for weeks. Says it’s 15 degrees and it’s 60! What’s going on?!.Tiffany MKVersion: 5.17.508
Chewing up dat!Since the update it has been burning through data at a ridiculous rate..Brewer VicVersion: 5.0.802
Where is the dew point?!What happened to the dew point?.Jeffffy007Version: 5.15.401
What givesThe app works fine, but every time I open it, I get asked to update..Olinda456Version: 5.0.400
Why??Every time I try and update it comes back the next day and asks me to update. Hello!!! Is anyone home??? 😜.David DelahuntVersion: 5.0.400
Bringback the blogWay to remove the blog, which used to include the dewpoint forecast. Hate this app now, so basic..KgdgyjffjuedhurtVersion: 5.0.802
UpdateDid update..... asks every time to update now...... aggravating.GoingbybyVersion: 5.0.400
Keeps trying to open my PDFs and eBooks…Exactly what the title says. Not sure why but things like PDFs and eBooks (such as from Kindle) default to being opened by the Fox 6 Weather app as long as I have it installed. It’s majorly weird. I’ll be sticking to the Android version on my Samsung Galaxy for now..KaylsaladgirlVersion: 5.7.107
Use to be a good appFor quite some time now the app (map) doesn’t refresh…have to close and reopen it. Also adding a new loc doesn’t work at all…nothing happens when you enter a city or zip code..Kota4723Version: 5.4.944
