Good App

Please add apple car play

Not very accurate. Cards cannot be removed

Wish you would make the radar auto play so I don’t have to click on the play button every single time. Frustrating more than anything. Temp and humidity not accurate at all because you keep pulling in Disney Works NSA. Their network and equipment is far from accurate. Please remove from your system. This has been an in-going issues for years. I’ve reported it a handful of times. You just keep pointing the finger at someone else instead of fixing it. You can easily remove it from populating in your system. Most weather stations around Disney World are very inaccurate. They must have them installed under a tree next to a fan or air conditioner. It will say the humidity is 38% when it’s really 75%. Same with temps. This is the station it auto selects. I’m not saving one for every single location i go. I need accurate weather at my current location without me having to constantly add different stations. This is the reason you have quality issues others complain about. You allow garbage stations and reading into your system. Remove the garbage. Problem solved. You should require these stations to be certified snd visually inspected for correct installation and make sure the sensors are accurate before spewing bad data throughout the world. This doesn’t help anyone and decreases everyone’s forecast accuracy. Do your job. Lastly, give us the ability to hide cards instead of just moving them!!

The only weather app I’ve used,since ça.2010

Title say it all.
I rely heavily on this app, for many things, from an early morning check for the day, hour by hour, to figure out what wear (especially, in Spring and Fall, when temps change so much, throughout the day), it enables me to know if I need an umbrella, a coat, a sweater, etc.
I also rely on it, for its “StormyWeather” features, and timely watches and warnings urgent notifications
In the Spring, to protect my electronics, I keep a daily eye on its “Lightning” Feature.
It’s also a very easy and intuitive app to use.
One thing I like a lot is that, in the Paid Version there are no ads. (If there were ads, I’d be looking for another one. Fortunately, it doesn’t).
I like that it has Weather Stations in multiple locations, LOCALLY, and not just relying in a nearby larger city 30 miles away, with different topography than where I actually live at. This is important, as it provides more reliable, Local weather.
I also like that it gives both hour by hour weather previsions, it also gives me hour by hour Temps AND “Feels like” temperatures.
There’s more, but this is sufficient.
All-in-all, a truly great app.

Not reliable

This used to be a great app, but it has become extremely unreliable. The information is often just plain wrong. For example, the last few days have been rather windy but the hourly forecast has never showed winds over 3 mph, which is clearly wrong. (Oddly the daily forecasts have shown correct wind speeds.) The current temperature is often wrong, sometimes by as much as 20 degrees. (Location is set correctly and other data are updating, but the app seems to randomly fail to update current temp.)

There are other problems too. The weather alerts map is so bad it is actually dangerous. It uses a color scheme that can make it impossible to see the most severe warnings. For example, a large solid block of color for a flood watch might completely obscure a faint outline of a tornado WARNING. It makes it very difficult to see what alerts are actually active to the point of making the map almost useless (or worse).

Radar layer not working for Europe

The latest version does not provide radar layer information for the UK and Europe…. If I pan across the pond in map view to the USA, I can see the radar layer as it used to be. But have no data for UK.
A great shame for such an expensive app.
Please fix this.

The best I’ve found

I live in southern Florida an turbulent weather patterns can pop up almost instantly . Weather Bug has the best UI of many I have tried .. can get all the useful current conditions and weather data at a simple glance . They have updated their radar screen and it is always right on the latest conditions …. Also love the feature where I can check to see what friends around the country are experiencing at a simple push of a button ….Especially down here , the tropical storm window keeps me updated as to storms that might be headed my way …. Bravo Weatherbug 👏👏👏

Rain

Rain radar isn’t working

Longtime User

I have owned this app since 2012 & until this summer I only used this app. In May I noticed the the predicted temperatures were occasionally lower than what the forecast on the nightly news. I started periodically checking & noticed that this app getting worse. Now the forecast is consistently 5 to 7 degrees cooler than the real temperature. I appreciate the extra features on this app but I’ve had to download another app to get the correct temperature. Perhaps someone could figure out a way to fix this problem. Except for predicting the wrong temperature it’s a very helpful app.

Update: Now that our local temperatures have dropped below 110 degrees your predictions are now only 2 or 3 degrees difference from the other two apps I have. This is acceptable for me. This is my favorite weather app so I will continue using it. Thank you for reaching out to me so quickly.

Walt Disney World NSA reports wrong data

I live in Florida very close to Disneyworld. The station Walt Disneyworld NSA is the station that pulls in the information to my app. It’s way off. Raining and nearly 100% humidity, yet the app and this station report the humidity is 20%! Also, the weather is different throughout the app and widget. The “observations” reports one thing, hourly shows something completely different and the widget shows something else! Are you just making up this data? Why is the weather current/forecast so inconsistent within the same app?! No quality control and I can’t trust this app for my weather any longer. I’ve sent in numerous emails to them about it with no response in over a month! Pathetic. Someone finally contacted me and said it was fixed. Fixed for a week and then back to being all screwed up. They keep pointing the finger and everyone instead of REMOVING WALT DISNEY WORL NSA STATION from their app. This app is no longer any good. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS APP

My preferred app for everything related to weather

I’ve had Weather Bug on all my devices since it’s been available. It has evolved with the times and technology and still is my most reliable and easiest to navigate of them all. I don’t expect perfection because weather is a constantly evolving part of the world we live in. But I still believe Weather Bug gives me more of what I need from a weather app.
