App Profile: FOX6 Milwaukee: Weather

I get increasingly annoyed at this app for jumping tabs for no reason. When I try to scroll through the main page, such as looking at the hourly information, the view jumps to the hourly tab without me choosing it, allowing me little to no time to read that info on the main page. If I want the hourly tab, let me, the user, click on it. This seems to be a relatively new change. As a side note, this review page seems to be the only way to provide feedback. There are no avenues in the app itself to share this kind of feedback. It would be helpful if you added a pathway on the app itself to share this kind of information.

This weather app is so bad the Fox six, and it’s developers have absolutely no method to reach out to them to point out things that are either dysfunctional within the app or straight out whether errors. Most recent case in point is that the weather forecast for Menomonee Falls Wisconsin for tomorrow, Thursday, December 27, 2023 states on the main 10 day outlook that there is a 30% chance of precipitation… But when you open up the actual date for more details it literally says rain and snow showers in the morning changing to all rain in the afternoon chance of precipitation 70%! That’s just incompetence… and that’s on the weather staff at Fox six in Milwaukee that they don’t have their people checking that their outer layer data such as 30% chance of precept matches the inner layer which is 70%. And we’re supposed to trust them to be our provider? I took a screen capture of it but unfortunately, apples review software doesn’t allow one to paste a screen capture for some unknown reason. And if this wasn’t just a random incident, why wouldn’t they have a clear and obvious link called “contact us“ with sub links to say, submit, a complement, whether errors, pages, not loading, etc.? You can find better more trustworthy apps out there for Milwaukee area weather.

I love this app and use it often to follow the weather conditions wherever I am. However, as a person who suffers from heat sensitivity, I wish this weather app would have a dew point forecast. It would be very useful for me to know what to expect so I can plan accordingly. UPDATE: Still no dew point forecast and now it has completely been removed from the opening weather details screen. I have to use a different weather app just to check the current dew point.
