Comments on FOX8 Cleveland Weather for Android

★★★★☆ Earl Pamfilie · Aug 7, 2023
I cannot go to present or present and future on mapping. It is stuck on future.
★★★★★ Marlyn Hershberger · Aug 29, 2021
So very glad to see Bryan Shaw back on Cleveland station doing weather.
★★★★☆ Tiffany Nelson · Dec 5, 2021
Love knowing that I can get my favorite local news and lock 77 weather on my phone without searching.
★★★★☆ Gary Goodman · Jun 28, 2021
When you open the app and press Daily Forecast a blank screen opens, you have to exit and press Daily Forecast a second time to see the Daily forecast.
★★★★★ Gildroy Boothe · Dec 19, 2023
Great weather app love and enjoy I've been watching Fox 8 since I was
★☆☆☆☆ M. · Apr 13, 2026
Ads ruined the app. I check the radar, ad. check the forecast, ad.
★☆☆☆☆ Theresa Giuffre · Aug 21, 2022
The app used to alert me and tell me if a storm was coming. Now it doesn't do anything
★☆☆☆☆ Easily Amused · Aug 10, 2021
Ads have no problem loading but the radar and daily outlook never loads. Pretty much useless if you want to see the radar when storms are coming.
★★☆☆☆ Randy Ray · Jan 30, 2026
I used to love this app, but every update has made it worse. Now when I look at the banner in my drop-down menu, I have to use glasses just to see the weather info. (that's what important to me). But, the Fox 8 advertising logo is 10 times larger. What a waste. You make sure that we see your Fox 8 advertisement. (just like on tv). Well guess what brainiacs? I knew that it was Fox 8 when I downloaded it. I know it takes intelligence to develop an app, but, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
