FOX 13: Tampa SkyTower Weather App Reviews

24hr radar hasn’t worked in months.

It would be nice if I could count on the hourly weather forecast and the local radar. More often wrong than not. We were supposed to have storms, even rain, for a couple of hours this afternoon but nothing. Even showed the weather coming in on the radar. Can’t count on this, or probably any map or app as they are all run out of NOAA. Great for ruining plans.

It’s FL, it’s hot and we know it’s hot. Please stop giving us colors for the heat. Trying to look at the thunderstorm and all I see is orange and yellow lightning bolts. Ready to delete this app.

OK, I have not installed this for quite some time. I’m gonna give it another shot especially since the new weather girl lady named Valerie is the best weather meteorologist in the universe so if I don’t see Valerie on this app, it gets deleted again no seriously it’s a good app and she’s the best keep up the good work ha ha

I’ve tried every weather app around but this one gives me everything I need to know. Keep up the great work!

Please change the font , color or background! Cannot read Sunset time because the numbers are light against a light background.

It’s literally raining now - when I check the app there’s no rain in sight. Too often this has not been accurate, lately. I hope they fix whatever is going on, I would hate to figure out another weather app.

Please bring back the dew point. The dew point is so much more important than humidity especially in FL. I need a new weather app because you no longer show the dew point. Please fix this issue. And you also show in all of your guide to the new look see the dew point but it’s not there.

I finally had to get rid of this app standing on a beach getting poured on and the app didnt even show rain in the area and had given a 12% chance of rain before I left. After a year, it was never accurate and I got sick of being caught in storms the app never even forecasted. It can be dangerous to be this inaccurate when forecasting weather in Florida.

The radar is no longer correctly active it was showing in my area that we were under heavy rain, storm colors in the red yellow, but I’m looking outside and the sun’s out and was out for a few hours plus the app doesn’t do a full 24 in the future anymore, either it stopscould you please update

The layout is good, the sections are good. I appreciate that I can watch a replay of the latest weather forecast as well as the tropics forecast and view hurricane spaghetti models on the map. But, it is highly aggravating to be on the homepage scrolling horizontally through the hourly forecast and have it automatically open the hourly page, which runs vertically. When I want to open that page I'll open it myself; please fix this! I want to get this information while I'm on the homepage; if I wa

Rain & thunderstorms are raging outside my window but this app says nothing is happening. Their radar is not accurate. Do better!

So sorry you changed this app! Now it doesn’t show earthquakes from the rest of the world anymore! This has been very important to me! Oh well, I guess I have to find a new weather app!

The old version of the radar was much easier to navigate. This one is difficult to zoom in or out because it moves all over the place. I have given myself some time to adjust to this newer version but it is just terrible. I have used this app in Wisconsin for many years and now in Florida for the past 3, but I will be looking for a new weather/radar app until this is changed.

I liked the app when I first got it. Good to be informed with the local weather but lately it’s been insufferable. No data loading, try reinstalling, did not work. Had to delete.

This used to be a good app but between the extreme lightning notification spam and now this being my #1 data usage app even though the app isn’t in the foreground, I think it’s time to find something better. Over 6 gigabytes in just two weeks. That’s insane. Is it farming ads in the background?

Earlier today the app said it was sunny and 67; more like cloudy and 63. I don’t understand how this wonderful news station can’t get the weather even close to correct. I love here and can’t count on the FOX 13 App to plan my time. Ugh!

With the new update you can’t read the dew point and other data on the night background. Also the forecast , especially the hourly one is so inaccurate. Seems they change it every 10 minutes to match the current conditions. That’s not forecasting, just observing. I can do that just standing outside

The background pictures make it difficult to read the data on the app. In addition, the latest update remove the dewpoint, which is a pretty big deal for those of us who live and work here in Florida.

Only 50% accurate. WeatherBug is my go to because I can rely on it being accurate at least 95% of the time.
