FOX6 Milwaukee: Weather 4+

Love this app however recently the video forecast will not load.
The advertisements play but that is it.
Started about two weeks ago now.

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.

This is a huge step forward for the Fox 6 Storm Center App. The only thing is, it would be nice if we could get a different background behind the daily and hourly forecasts. The current background is just too busy. Looking at some other channels in the area that use the same base app (e.g. Channel 3000, NBC 15, CBS 58), the background isn’t as busy and makes the content more legible. I prefer the Fox 6 video forecasts which is why I stick with this one but I prefer the backgrounds the other stations have chosen.
