Not good anymore
This used to be my go to weather app but not anymore.
I want to keep track of the hurricane that’s making its way towards us but it’s a bit hard to believe this app when it says that the current temperature at my current location is 71 degrees when everything else including my own thermometer says it’s 82 degrees.
The app says that there is only a 7% chance of rain at my current location and it’s raining hard outside and has been for a bit. This app says there is only a 7% chance of rain for today, tomorrow and the next day and them rises to 12%, all of the other apps and news channels are saying 85% for today, 95% for tomorrow, 85% for the next day and 65% for the day after that.
The radar map apparently is no longer available on the free app because it wants me to get a paid subscription to view the radar map.
It’s odd that when I need the app the most, it wants me to subscribe. If they think that providing erroneous information and taking away the radar map will entice me into a subscription, they’re sadly mistaken, instead, I’m deleting it.Show lessSCUBA Wack
Sluggish & Often Incorrect
I’ve noticed over the last few months that the app has been much slower in updating the current weather and forecast when I initiate a page refresh. It sometimes displays weather from another saved city in my saved list as the local weather for the actual location I’m in.
Also, I depend on accurate hyper local weather forecasts. I do all of my work in the field, mostly while primitive camping. I need to know what to prepare for, to avoid setting up camp on a ridge versus a valley. A conservative estimate on their 3-4 hour forecast accuracy would be 40% at best. Far too often, I will check the forecast before bed and the night will be clear skies or partly cloudy, then I’ll wake up in the early morning to lightning and thunder! Prediction accuracy of major storms 4-5 days out is abysmal.
Please post your new favorite weather app because I’m looking around for a better service. This is just an ad machine with a basic radar function and broadly inaccurate weather forecasts.Show lessJoshualaska
Dangerously inaccurate
Update- for over 6 months this app only ever states that every day is 76 degrees. It hasn’t been near the 70s for months-its almost February. My location services are on. Location is set by GPS. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app more than 10 times. I did a factory reset on my iPhone. Still refuses to provide accurate weather info. I have zero issues with any other apps or my phone. Everything works perfectly except this app.
Former review- Been saying it’s 70 degrees and sunny for weeks now, even though it’s 106 with severe flash flooding. I’ve tried reinstalling the app. Keeps going back to 70 every day. My spouse and I have been laughing for 5+ years at how we can turn on the location gps thing and standing next to each other have wildly different forecasts. This app is so spammy and full of ads, they don’t give you real weather, they just send you whatever garbage data they find first and spend the rest of the time stealing your data and draining your battery. Finally deleted the app for good, so much happier not being lied to and stolen from every day or having to recharge my phone every time I check the weather. Saying it’s 70 every day for weeks when there’s a heat advisory and several inches of flash flooding is going to kill someone. Tragic, but I can’t wait to see how much the greedy app creators need to pay out in wrongful death lawsuits.Show lessHdgggggggg
