Does not update current location until I force-close and reopen it

For example, I opened WeatherBug in Philadelphia, used the app, and force-closed it. I then flew to LAX and the home screen still showed Philadelphia. I pulled down to update the data and it still showed Philly. I waited a few minutes - still Philly. Work-around: I force-closed and reopened the app, and then it showed Los Angeles. Please make WeatherBug update the current location as soon as it is opened in the new location

Elite App

Best weather app on the market !!!!

Lightning map does not work

Update: several weeks later and the lightning map STILL does not work. I can’t access it on multiple devices. It gives a “could not load” message. What’s the point of having the app if the ONLY reason I use it doesn’t work? Please message back with someway to fix this issue.

————————

The lightning map has been unusable for several days now. When I click the icon on the Widget forecast it takes me to what looks like a different formatted map with the “Map failed to load. Could not load map” message. It’s like this on multiple devices. I’m going to be honest – the lightning map is the only reason I use this app. I use to see which direction the storm is going or coming. Without it, it’s unfortunately useless.

WOWOWOWOOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOW

Omg, I love this app so much it’s so good

Weather or not

Always great up to date information. Best APP ever!

WeatherBug helps me be better prepared

Checking WeatherBug helps me plan my days in local travel and going out of town a lot.

I really am thankful!!

So bad

They give you no details, it’s what a 4th grader would make.

Best weather app

I’ve had weather bug awhile an it’s on the mark accurate alerts when bad weather approaches an when lighting is near buy just a good 👍 app BEST EVER

Most Accurate

The best weather app

Small glitch

Cannot delete old saved locations. Even with multiple locations remaining it has a pop up stating Cannot Delete. Must have at least one location.

What are we even doing?

App looks “pretty” but doesn’t actually provide weather in the desired area. Totally useless

Reliable

This app is very reliable and I use it to plan my weekly events.

Too many glitches!

I had used WeatherBug for years & loved it. Recently it’s had repeated annoying glitches. Can’t load preferences, can’t delete one of multiple locations, etc, etc. Uninstalled & reinstalled too many times trying to correct. I’m not wasting my time with it anymore. iPhone 17 Pro. Adios y’all!

Cannot Delete Location

I have 8 locations saved, tried to delete one and says “Cannot Delete. Must have at least one location “ I have to delete the app from my phone, reinstall, then add locations again excluding the one the app wouldn’t let me delete. Please fix this bug! 🙏🏼

Ugh

I wish this app WOULD STOP FREEZING AND CRASHING. FIX IT

Love the app. I just got a preview of the new version and if it is updated I will delete the app and find a different one

Weather

I always count on the WB for my weather needs …

Best weather app

Glitch???

My phone says today’s high is 26 degrees at 4pm but my iPad that also has WeatherBug says high is 74 degrees at 4pm?? I used to love this app but I don’t think I can trust it anymore.

Used to love it!

I have depended on WeatherBug for years, but recently the lightning tracker changed. It no longer gives me the satellite view and instead of opening up at my location in northern Utah, it takes me to a map from South Dakota to Mississippi. During today’s thunderstorm it wouldn’t show me anything in the box that’s supposed to show the distance of the most recent lightning strikes, which is a very helpful feature - well, WAS very helpful. I updated the app, to no avail. Maybe I’ll delete it and reload, but I’m so disappointed with the best weather app I’ve ever used. (The app on my husband’s phone is still working fine. Boo.)
