Comments on FOX 2 Detroit: Weather & Radar for Android

★★★★☆ Levinatizer · May 21, 2024

Please return the dew point to the display. Dew point is more pertinent than relative humidity.

★★★★★ John Marineau · Jan 19, 2024

I never had an issue with the fox 2 weather app ever and it's accurate

★★★★☆ Marisa B · Mar 13, 2026

Mostly love the weather app. One thing that I have noticed is that when there is a high wind warning it shows as a high WAVE warning in some areas. That should be corrected.

★★★★★ Alyson Little · Jul 30, 2024

I am an absolutely HUGE fan of Fox 2 Detroit mornings shows, so it goes without saying that of course, I would be a huge fan of their Fox 2 Detroit weather app. I absolutely adore Derek Keira & Allan Longstreet (My Weather boys)🩶 & of course my 2 ladies Stephanie Mead, Lori Pinson one man Captain Rich Luterman.

★★☆☆☆ Jessica Clemons · Aug 31, 2024

Use to be a good app, isn't anymore and not very accurate, if you want accurate weather I will go and download the AccuWeather app, use to have it loved it and going back to that app, AccuWeather app is always on point, unlike fox 2 weather app their radar isn't on point, it will say for an example we have a severe thunderstorm watch out for my area and that there's hell and high Gust winds when there's not, so over this app

★★☆☆☆ Jeff · Oct 17, 2025

I like the graphics and that it is easy to use. But, the weather app should be accurate. I find that it is not very accurate at all. The models of sun, clouds and rain changes way too much. The app changes the forecast constantly from rain to no rain and vice versa. I can do better just by looking outside at the sky. With all this new technology, I don't know why this forecast gets it wrong most of the time!

★★☆☆☆ Kevin Skinner · Mar 11, 2026

Can no longer change layers, as the layer menu bar doesn't appear anymore
