    This weather app is fantastic! It keeps me updated on the weather at all times. I can also find out about severe weather near my home. Great work, Fox2!

    I had this awesome fox2 weather app. No ads. It was perfect. Then, out of nowhere, it disappeared. Now I’m stuck with this new version that has ads everywhere. So frustrating! I really don’t want those annoying ads ruining my experience. Just wanted my old app back!

    I love this weather app, but sometimes it freezes up and I can't get it to work again no matter how many times I try. I've had to uninstall it and reinstall from the Play Store twice already. On the bright side, the map feature is fantastic, and it gives accurate location data. One more thing, it would be great to see wind chill readings in the hourly updates.

    The app updated, and now there's just a cloud icon in the corner of your phone instead of the temperature. It's still visible on your lock screen. You’re not sure what happened, but the home screen only shows the clouds. You looked through the settings, and everything seems fine; it should show the temperature. Frustrating, right?

    It works pretty well most of the time. Sometimes, my phone freezes and that’s annoying. It also doesn’t switch cities for me, even though I have location services on.

    Channel Two feels like family. It’s reliable and always there when needed. The team behind Channel Two shows dedication and skill. When severe weather hits, Channel Two stands ready to provide crucial updates. You can count on them every time.

    I really want to use this app more often. The location feature is hit or miss. It doesn’t track my movements like it should. When I try to change my location manually, it takes forever to sync. Sometimes it doesn’t sync at all! I wish it could be my go-to weather app, but it just isn’t reliable enough. Other users seem to have the same issues too.

    This app used to be fantastic. I loved it, but everything changed with my new Galaxy S20. Now it’s a mess. It rarely provides a temperature update. Maybe I get one a day if I'm lucky. The radar feature? Total failure. It doesn’t work at all. Super frustrating!
