Wlox Weather App Reviews

I'd give it 5 stars if it had the water tides on the app.

Great app, it covers all of Saucier, Gulfport, and Biloxi

Should be called allen toyota app

Would've given the app 5 stars but for the irritating noisy ads that you can't skip or turn off. Otherwise the app is a great improvement over the initial app that WLOX put out. Wanted to view the various thumbnails for the possible depression that will form in the Caribbean but the ad keeps repeating with each varied thumbnail. 😡

Like so many others who enjoy our Gulf Coast my family loves to be out on the water. Thank you for bringing back marine seas and tides to your app,

Please fix! App closes every time I open it.

After latest update, crashes each time you try to open app!

It works just fine for me but it's just okay.

I had deleted this app in favor of other weather apps that actually worked. After 3 years, I decided to give it another try...still slow, still freezes..obviously no attempts at fixing so deleted again

Gives me the weather, and it tells me everything I need to know about the forecast. I flip out over weather all the time. I kinda am right now. I'm writing this comment because I am trying to find something to get the bad weather off my mind. My name is Chelsea Cox, and I live in Mississippi. So my station hits close to home! Thank you wlox for making a way for people like me who are terrified about bad weather able to be not so scared! Bye

It seems like every time I attempt to use this app there are more adds. Now there is an add in the middle of the daily forecast that requires a finger the size of a fairy’s to close and if you don’t get it closed it just keeps jumping up & down on the screen. I am deleting this app & going to the WXXV app.

New update crashes app! Not happy!!!

On the last several updates I'm surprised no one has decided to introduce a way to exit the settings page, the only way I've found to get out of it is to exit the app and force the shutdown... Will somebody please fix on the next update

I have a problem with the videos, the sound doesn't always work.

why does this app access to the bluetooth setting? i have no bluetooth devices. the setting in my phone is not on and i do not want it on. irritating that every time i open the app it wants bluetooth turned on.

Liked the previous (old) version much better.

The update is fantastic!!! It is more user friendly and doesn't crash as much!!

Downloaded this for just under two hours, then deleted it because of continuous 'alerts' of the same 'warning' in the next county. Adjusted settings but still received the alerts. Annoying after the first 10 repeat alerts. At least it isn't like their FB page 'tune in later for updates'.

The radar feature is much more accurate on this app than it is on the TWC app. When there's really bad weather coming through, I want to know exactly where the worst of it is going as soon as possible, and I want to continue to keep an eye on weather systems as they arrive. This app does a great job with that. The alerts also work better and faster than other apps - even faster than my university's warning system. Thanks WLOX!

iPhone 5c with iOS 8.0.2. App keeps crashing every time I open the app. I would have emailed the complaint but have been unable to locate a contact. Please fix because I enjoy using this app.

When I look for a weather app, especially one that is supposed to offer targeted, local, and breaking weather stories, I look for something that gets to the gist of the issues quickly. Having to endure 15 seconds of the same Allen Toyota video(which cannot be skipped) causes this app to be less competitive than other mainstream weather apps. And after the mandatory advertisement video, many concerning reports are simply a repeat of the weather forecaster. Updated information is slow to come by. I think I’ll change to weather underground again.

Application is great for those of driving for a living on the Gulf Coast

For checking your everyday weather it’s fine but if there is a severe weather update that could be concerning for your safety you must first watch this ad before you can watch the update. Bravo. Surely our local weather station makes enough money to support an App without the use of ads before important weather updates. Edit: now there is a beautiful Walgreens ad dead center of the screen. Time to find another source.

It takes a good 20 seconds for it to open which is very irritating. Because of the slow load up, I often go to The Weather Channel to quickly see the forecast. I will say that once the app opens, it turns into a very nice and user friendly app.

Half the time I get a "network error" and it doesn't work. When it is working, it isn't reliable. For example, the overview for the day will say a high of 75 but then if you look at the hourly, the forecasted temp never gets above 70. Something is wrong.

The radar on this app only works some of the time. This morning thunderstorms are threatening and the app does not some a single shower in the entire u.s. Also the location markers on the map are so large that in some cases they actually cover up rain storms.

You have to watch a commercial before any weather info too annoying for me I'll stick with WeatherBug

It crashes and I live and gulfport and it says my current locations is new york???????????!!!!!!!!

Since this app updated to the current version and style I don’t even get all the stories that should be on it. I also follow WLOX on Facebook and I see stories there that I’m not even able to find on the app. Also, previous versions had a picture beside the heading of the story. This version is just a bland looking story title. The current version is ok if local news isn’t much of an interest to you, but if that’s the case, I recommend using another app that’s better organized with less ads.

The app worked great before but now it works and looks great.

This update is terrible. I am constantly receiving stupid alerts with this new update. I just want to know when the weather is really bad, not that jacket weather is here. This used to be good and now it is deleted.

I like most everything about this app! The one and only issue is that the sound doesn't work when I watch the videos. Otherwise, it's a stellar app!

I love the new update it's more accurate! tells me how close lightening it to my current location it loads the map faster than ever! Great way to step it up wlox!

Downloaded this app trying to get real time updates on dangerous flooding occurring in my area. However, the app kept crashing and I wasn’t able to see anything I needed to see. I will continue to use google when I need quick information.

Beautiful update.

Great app.

I can NEVER get a video to load it tells me “video error- can’t load video” ???? I’m giving it three stars because I can see the hourly forecast. I loathe the Allen Toyota ad.

This app has been great until recent updates. Now it is so unreliable I have been considering deleting it from my iPhone. It’s sluggish, takes forever to load..sometimes it doesn’t work at all. You have destroyed one of my favorite weather apps :(

I've been using this app for several years, and have watched it developed into a reliable app, logically organized, and optimally featured app. It has been my go-to app for local weather and news casts even when I am out of the country and I want to know what's going on back home. The information flowed logically, allowed expansion to full screen and took you right to what you wanted to see. This last version destroyed all of that. It is nearly useless. Every time you want to see anything, like forecast videos, radar, 5-day forecast, etc, you are forced to watch a 30-second, high pressure, boosted audio commercial before you can see the information you used the app for in the first place. And there is no way to skip the commercial. You MUST watch it ALL. The main menus has likewise been poorly redesigned. You see little horizontal Windows of text or a small image, and when the user clicks on the window, and sits through the inane commercial, the information stays in the little window, showing about 3-4 sentences. The user CANNOT enlarge this window to see the entire text. This is against best practices of human factor engineering. Comprehension decreases as the amount of the text of a story is shown. If you are looking for information about an approaching tropical system, getting screamed at for 30 seconds, plus trying to read the bulletin through that narrow s**** of a window is not very effective. The IT manager who thought this format and redesign was a great idea knows nothing about apps, mobile devices or interface design at all. If WLOX designers came up with this, fire them and get someone who knows what they are doing. If, however, this is attempt to drive people back to watching their TV newscasts, it's highly effective give. Di not install this app until these problems are solved. Unless you want to be screamed at repeatedly when you just want to see if it's going to rain tonight.
