Ratings and reviews

I've had this app for years. As of a couple months ago, I noticed the temperature wildly fluctuates at times and does not agree with other local weather, saying it's raining with nothing on your own radar, and now I can't get the temp to show in the status bar. reinstalled at least 5 times. I'm guessing the app is no longer monitored and maybe it's just AI now? 🤷

Good weather, terrible notification setting. Kept getting a unknown audible notification throughout the day (not a big deal) and also at night (very big deal when in bed). Ended up causing me to have to download a notification tracking app since it wouldn't show up in my notification bar and I had turned off notifications on every app on my phone including the Fox 8 weather app. Wouldn't you know it, it pinged the Fox 8 weather app as the culprit. Deleted, Fox 8, no. more midnight dings...

I've been using this weather app for years,and it's the only app I use! No more Weather Channel or AccuWeather! It's super programmable. It can be set to follow you wherever you go,and has different overlays for rain,clouds,tropical storms, lightning ,etc. It shows! past,present, and future weather in a loop,so you can see what's comming,especially during hurricane season. By far the best weather app available,and it's FREE!!! A must have if you live in a Gulf state!
