FOX 5 Storm Team Weather Radar Positive Reviews
Weather app yesI liked Fox during very severe weather over quite a few years. But recently I sought a Fox Weather app for Atlanta, only found the Fox News app and thought this was the only access. For reasons not pertinent to weather, this was a deal breaker. A friend showed me the separate app, so here I am. I like it. Focuses on local, easy to navigate, so far continues to be accurate and although drama and hooks are not absent, you’ve kept it pretty darn clean.
NOAA is my gold standard but since they “improved” their app, it’s not as helpful as it used to be. Please continue to stick to the weather and don’t let anything else smear into your part of the network..BadgeretteVersion: 5.3.400
Used to be greatI use this app 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 the app crashes every time I try to add a new city. I periodically add and remove places according to where I’m traveling and the app crashes every time. I have to add the new place at least 5 or more times before it will show up in the app..Kmb1105Version: 5.3.907
Amazing!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!!!!.GraciejayyyVersion: 4.7.1002
Hourly weatherThe radar is pretty good, but the hourly is hardly ever correct. It changes every 30 minutes to to every hour. So if you have any outdoor plans, make sure to check the hourly weather every 30 minutes to an hour, because it will change. I’ve only found the hour weather to be correct once..A Georgia GalVersion: 5.8.411
Has a few bugsThis is a good weather app but can you please fix the weather alerts section where you can select or unselect the type alerts you want to see where it will save your preferences. Every time I unselect the alerts I don’t want it defaults back to selecting all the alerts and covers my map with a bunch of overlays. Thanks!.Brokenarrow1240Version: 5.7.301
App Missing February 29 hourly weatherYour weather app is never the same as your weather on tv? Also went on app this morning to check hourly forecast for February 29th. There was none you just skipped that day and went on to March 1st. What’s up with you all ?.241GlVersion: 5.13.804
Best weather appThis is probably the second most used app for me after Google Maps. I wish the features of this app could be made available inside Google Maps..Dan BhattaVersion: 5.15.402
Love this weather appI love this weather app. The extended forecast, radar, and percentage of rain in forecast help me plan my day and week. I went Europe in May and I knew exactly what to wear. I packed the correct clothes for the weather!!!!.LoJac1985Version: 5.8.501
Good but need landscape view for iPadReally 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!.App LemanVersion: 4.6.1400
Amazing radar accuracyBest app if you want to know when exactly it’ll rain with the radar that can predict four hours u to the future..N0M@D_Version: 5.15.418
Update renders app uselessI give the app 3 stars as it worked pretty well
For about a year. I updated the app yesterday after receiving a notification and now the app 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?.TimpupartsVersion: 4.10.2001
Double notificationsI cannot access your App Support. I am getting double weather notifications and I cannot find where to fix it..Gerbera13Version: 5.8.501
Recent updateDo 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 ??.JeducaVersion: 4.7.502
Very Slow to LoadRecently the app is very slow to load and sometimes does not load at all. I have gotten other weather apps because this one is not dependable..CatbtayVersion: 5.13.804
Better than WSBI 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..UGA Alum 93Version: 4.7.1002
Open for weather to see an AD you cant bypassWhy... 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!!.Elmo70pVersion: 4.7.1002
So far so goodLike 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.PdqueryVersion: 4.7.1002
After the factI am getting notifications after the rain comes through my city, which is no warning. Need to know just before..987654gogoVersion: 4.7.901

Life saving!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.Bailey's cookies!Version: 4.10.2704
App not workingSince the last update the app was working fine and now that we need it for today’s weather it won’t open. Please fix the bug!.Atlguy_17Version: 4.10.2001
Hate the color overlaysNeed an option to opt out of all the color overlays. Not even explained anywhere…
Switching back to the weather channel app.Chp112Version: 5.4.944
Need Apple Watch and Apple TV appsI 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..MenotfitVersion: 4.7.1002

FOX 5 Storm Team Weather Radar Negative Reviews
Recent Update Broke AppI have a paid weather app that I loved until I found the local fox5 app to be more accurate with an easier to use interface, and was using this app almost exclusively, even when traveling (works great even in other cities and countries). However a recent update made the app unusable, where you cannot scroll or touch the app anywhere without it immediately selecting as if you tapped rather than scrolling. Went from one of the cleanest and simple to use app to an absolute headache to open for even the simplest check of current weather. Hope they roll back the most recent changes and fix the bug that was introduced!.Dcline414Version: 5.17.507
Where’s the radar??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.....Cubgirl157Version: 5.4.944
Crashes adding a locationLooks like I’m not the only one! Tried deleting and re-adding the app 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 this app for the navigation and vipr radar. But now only works for my current location and Pigeon Forge, TN..B-simsVersion: 5.3.907
Used to be goodThis used to be a great app. I used to get notifications about storms and rain and all kind of stuff in my area. Must I emphasize used to be. It’s been raining outside for the last couple hours. I’m just now getting the alert that heavy rain is nearby. Lol good thing I no longer rely on this app to know when rain or storms are nearby. Would hate to rely on it if there were a tornado. The alert for a tornado would probably come after my house is leveled..NbdjingvhgVersion: 5.7.203
Terrible updateI have been using this app for some time and have been very pleased until one of the more recent updates. The app now is to touchy where you can’t scroll through the hour by hour feature without it opening up that section that you didn’t want to open. Please go back to old settings..Brokenarrow1240Version: 5.17.507
Brenda BThe app 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 the app 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..RedVinoGirlVersion: 4.10.2001
Can’t turn off overlaysI’ve used this app for many years and been very happy. Recently, the overlay functions have been increased. My main purposes is to look at rain radar, but can’t view it because of all the overlays blocking the view. I Researched how to turn off the overlays but instruction don’t appear to work. I deleted the app and loaded another channels app..WhatdafukisthisVersion: 5.12.701
Getting worseSince the last major update, this app thinks it knows better than I, what view I want to see. It automatically switches to daily view. If I want a daily view I will choose it myself. I don’t want an app the dictates which view I see. Looking for an alternative to Fox5 weather as they can’t seem to figure this out.GregazarVersion: 5.17.507
Radar InaccurateOver the last few months the radar on this app has become incredibly inaccurate. I used to depend on this for my weather, but cannot any longer. The radar will show fully clear and it be pouring rain in my area, and other maps are correct..ForsythJonVersion: 5.13.804
BrokenJust updated the app and insta-regret. Worked fine before, now can’t see any weather data on daily or hourly, or temp on the main page. Did all your troubleshooting. Turned off WiFi/cellular. No IPv6 on router, restarted phone etc. iPhone 15 Pro Max. I rely on this app. PLEASE FIX. As of right now it’s useless garbage. If I have to delete and find a new app it will be a permanent switch..7612zdrVersion: 5.13.804
UnreliableI used to use 11Alives weather app but they’ve
Gotten rid of it. So I started using Fox’s app.
I started noticing how contradictory it was in “guessing” the weather. It would use TWC predictions but change it slightly.
The most irritating part of it was they’d say it’s raining when in fact it’d be sunny. And the highs for the days didn’t match the temps on hourly.
It’s a garbage app that is unreliable..BReed07Version: 5.12.701
No longer works with iPadThanks 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..ShelbyGT500Version: 4.5.1800
Hate the update!! Not an update at all!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!!.KrgilbVersion: 4.10.1000
Great at lying about the weather!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 this app or “Storm Team” even good for. Deleted..Tryin gain timeVersion: 5.3.400
Big problemAn alert appears. I touch the alert. The app opens. I then click the main phone button, and my main screen comes up. This action bypasses all of my Iphone security.
This app is removed as of now. Let me know when the security problem is fixed. Otherwise i find the app useful and well done..Flartablast9Version: 4.7.1002
Weather app unusableProblems still exist with this app. The radar is nothing but overlays. I’ve sent messages about this with no response. I even sent Joanne Feldman a message. Apparently this is not going to be fixed so I’m deleting this app after a long time of great use without any problems. Sad..Kant57Version: 5.5.702
Useless - More ads than weather infoWhat a terrible app. Why can’t it just have weather information. You don’t need ads. The app is sluggish to load weather data, but not slow to show you window blinds ads. Ever time you refresh the app…window blinds. I’m deleting..MttcrsnVersion: 5.17.507
Don’t make plansThe radar on this app never coincides with what’s actually happening….as I’m writing it’s showing I’m in the clear of incoming storms for hours but it’s literally thunder-storming outside. It does this all the time, I can not depend on this app at all. Love the channel meteorologists but this app is useless if you depend on radar..Uga03Version: 5.13.804
Constantly reinstallingI have uninstalled and reinstalled this app 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..Sierra1samVersion: 5.0.301
Radar crashingImages of storms crashing after having app open for a minute. Constantly losing app and restarting it. Plz address this! Never had this issue..Mishr69Version: 5.8.501
Stops workingEvery week I have to delete this app and reinstall it as it stops working. Being in the North Georgia mountains there aren’t many apps that give a semblance of accuracy. When it works it’s okay.HarlhailVersion: 5.0.301
Fails too oftenHave had the app 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..SandyandTomVersion: 4.7.1002
Fix itBillion dollar corporation can’t make an app that doesn’t crash half of the time, and doesn’t load the weather map the other half of the time..Me7732679Version: 5.8.411
Not the best app!!!It ok for the most part. It does the same as the app that came on my phone. The only difference is this has a live radar on it that never works!!! Kinda not worth the download..9towsVersion: 5.1.604
Forecast slow to updateTheir tv forecast often calls for rain and severe storms and the mobile app does not reflect it. Except the mobile app does send a severe storm notification but the forecast calls for good weather..Outdoor.DudeVersion: 5.17.606
