FOX8 Cleveland Weather app reviews
Great and accurate 4/5
However after this update you can no kJ get delete locations from your list please fix this!!Terrible Forcasting 1/5
Always forecasting rain in the 10 day outlook. Many times as much as 8 of the next 10 days and the changing the forecast the day or hours before. Last night at 11pm forecast was 90% chance of t-storms starting at 9am. So I cancel my plans. I wake up at 6am and the chance of t-storms now reduced to 60%. At 9am I check the app again since the sun was shining and the chance is reduced again to 20% and going down to 10% by 11am. Cannot depend on FOX8 at all for getting the forecast right. I will be checking into a different Cleveland station.Birthday 5/5
Happy birthday ScottWhy? 2/5
WHY would you make two separate apps, one for news and the other weather? It’s just more clutter on the phone. Also WHY would you make the two app icons virtually identical? WHY wouldn’t you keep all of the great features of the weather when it was in the news app? WHY would you make the video so small? This is my first review ever. I felt strongly enough about this crappy app that I took time out of my day to let others know just how much of a PITA the Fox 8 weather app really is.So disappointing! 2/5
Fox 8 has the best weather! Unfortunately, this app doesn’t live Up to my expectations. A couple of Years ago I would have given it a 5Star rating. But, after recent “improvements” it is just annoying. It defaults to a small picture and Automatically plays old weather Forecasts like anyone really wants Yesterday’s weather. Often times I Check for the weather and it says No content available 😕Only aerial view for maps 2/5
This app needs a regular road map like the android versionWon’t even load now!! 2/5
I can’t get this app to open anymore. Used to have good information, but if it doesn’t load, it’s useless.Not as accurate as you think 2/5
App has slowed down dramatically. The days ahead forecast on app never is the same as reported on FOX8 news. They always differ for cleveland.Latest update is making find a new weather app! 1/5
I do not wish to change my location settings in order for me to have the app work the way it use to work!Love fox 8, but... 2/5
Fox 8 has the best news and weather and this use to be a great app. Unfortunately, recent 'improvements' have made this app very disappointing! Content for the forecast is rarely available. Don't waste your time.FOX8 Cleveland news app 1/5
Terrible- tired of it freezing up and clicking off. I am switching today to another local news app.Horrible 1/5
The weather map never worksTry another app 1/5
It's just a canned weather forecast provided by some other service, doesn't even match what Ch 8 is showing on TV. I didn't think they care enough to even make it accurate. Example: Shows area as sunny when entire state is covered in clouds.Nice A+++ 5/5
Works great.Bad Upgrade 2/5
This used to be a great app for getting local Cleveland news, but the latest upgrade really trashed it. It is harder to scan thru to see which stories are of interest to you, and it is full of bugs. Seems like they changed it to focus on getting you to watch videos but the videos are very buggy. They do not easily go into widescreen when you tilt to go to landscape, and sometimes they switch to an entirely different video when you tilt. I decided to go to the trouble of writing a review when the video I was watching about a sad death of a local man suddenly switched to a video of comedian John Oliver making a sex joke. REALLY bad form. The other Cleveland news apps will get all of my attention if you don't fix this.Radar Needs Improvement 3/5
Trying to support my local news but the radar is slow loading and very narrow window of time being shown. The spinning wheel of options is annoying; could just display otherwise. Simple design with no large ads. Not bad tho!Nice app 5/5
Nice neat easy to look at your weatherLove it 4/5
Wish more weather apps had lightning warningsNice, clean. 5/5
I've had it for about a week and so far it runs very smoothly. It provides a ten day, extended forecast, along with an up to the minute radar, with severe weather warnings. Also, it's a Cleveland weather app so its obviously much more catered to our area.Great free weather app 5/5
Installed it and already received a severe weather alert. Very accurateContent good -Graphics Horrible 2/5
Trying to read white text over a white clouds in the background is poor design. Makes me go look to other apps.Good app 3/5
Need to use it more but some of the print is white over white clouds and is hard or impossible to see. Looks good so far but would like a forecast with predictionsSad too bad 1/5
The original app was the next was poor, this one looks great but the functionality is not worth usingDisappointing. 2/5
I am a loyal fox8 morning show fan and was eager to continue that loyalty on iPhone but the app is not user friendly. I am going to use wkyc's app. It is easier and smoother to navigate. Opens straight to a better radar and is easier to get the forecast. Sorry Fox8!Sad 1/5
Not useful at all confusingLove it! 5/5
I love this app! Someone said that the radar isn't working, but all you have to do is push the play button on the top left corner. Works great!Weather 5/5
Best weather app ever! School closings, too live radar. This app is the best, and its FREE!Stopped working 1/5
Just installed os4 and now the radar stopped motion, this is my 'go to' app for weather radar, please fix it, now I can't tell if heavy weather is coming or going
