None of the touch features work; daily, weekly and radar do not open. Seems to be happening on all the local weather apps.

I love this app except for one thing, that it does not alert me to severe weather. Even though the settings are set to allow it, with an audible alert. It just doesn't work. Any ideas how to fix this?

Widget does not update temperature!!! I like the layout of this weather app. I wish the hourly display included the UV index number for each hour. The accuweather website does..

I have weather alert set to vibrate only, but the app just announced loudly that I have a new alert. Ignoring my sound off setting is a horrible bug, and if it is not fixed ASAP I will uninstall.

I hate that the new app does not have the temperature on the banner anymore.

Freezes up! Since the last update i have to back out & open the app up to a half dozen times before i can navigate it. I decided to go with WUSA9 app instead - nearly identical & glitch free.

Battery sucker this thing sucks the battery right out of my phone sorry but I'm going to have to delete this one great app but my phone tells me you got to fix this problem all the time and it has an orange notification button saying it just won't shut off it just keeps on sucking my battery dry so you know I love the radar and the news in the you know the weather and all that but I can't have a thing on there just eating my battery up even after I've turned it off

6/3: Now the current location doesn't work at all, even though permission setting is set to allow Uninstalling. After latest update, it takes 15-20 seconds for the current (follow me) conditions to load at top of app. This never happened in previous version.

Dew Point is missing from home screen (of app)! All other information is there - temp, % RH, etc... but especially for summer DP is critical info! Was of course fine until this latest update/refresh...

This is a great weather app. I've been using it for several years. Although it looks a whole lot better on an iphone than samsung.

I liked this app because it had the temperature on my notification barn but now it only shows ridiculous symbols for the weather conditions- none of which are recognizable except the sun and moon. AND NO TEMPERATURE!!! Looking for a different weather app.

Whenever I want to watch the news Livestream, it times out after about 4 minutes and pauses. I have to go back to the home page to reselect the Livestream in order to continue watching. I can't just hit pay again. Impossible to actually use as a streaming option.

I had this app for nearly as long as it has been around and last summer it started failing to update location as many users have said. I've now tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3 times and it just doesn't work. Are you trying to push everyone to the even more useless corporate Fox weather app?

What's the point of your widget if it won't periodically update without having to open the app? Arbitrarily & mysteriously goes "offline," requiring opening the app to get the widget current again. Lock-screen notification is often a day old, again requiring opening the app to get current info. These WSI wx apps used to be the bomb, but they now suffer from developer neglect, which ultimate leads to obsolescence. Ad handling very good, no full-screeners appearing at inopportune moments.

Update: December 2019: So the only thing I wish would change, is that they go back to how it used to display the 7 day forecast. Other than that, this is actually an awesome app! I've been using it for years, & still love it to this day. Accurate predictions for my area... just wish it would update a little faster... Still great! I used to love this app BEFORE the updates. I wish there was an option to go back to the old version. I'm very hesitant, now, to download the app to my new phone....

used to be a fantastic weather app it also used to be very reliable and accurate. the update is terrible all the information i want used to be displayed on one screen with having to navigate through the app. i think u guys need a new meteorologist it is no longer accurate or reliable. app said my area was having a rain shower but hourly forecast called for 10% chance pretty big contradiction dont ya think

I can't drag an item into the 4th (bottom most) slot for my quick map options. It just won't light up when I'm dragging an item over top of it like the top 3 slots do. Been with you guys for a long time but now I'm ditching ya! So many bugs over the years. Just slow to open and get to the weather. Often stuck on the last location I was in. I can't pay to remove ads. No more Fox5 weather app and no more watching your news channel either.
