  • Yahoo weather !!!

    The graphics are terrific. They cover so many areas of the weather, like hour by hour temperature changes, pollen alerts, long term forecasting, as well as sunrise & sunset times, & a current barometer reading, along with an interactive weather map.
    This is by far the MOST accurate weather forecasting I have ever followed. The first app I put on any new phone I get is Yahoo Weather. It is fantastic! I also enjoy the picture captions at the top of each area you are following. New York has some of the greatest photos! My daughter travels the US on business & I always add the area she will be traveling to. Chicago’s photos of all of their sculptures was stunning. Almost like being there. From A to Z - a wonderful, accurate app to follow!

    The high and low is not for the same day. The “low” is for the next morning. If it is Monday, the day should start with Monday’s low. Doesnt anyone ever remember am and pm anymore??? The am should be on THAT day’s low temp! Or switch the “high and low” view on the app to “low and high” so you see the next day. Putting the am for the next morning is the wrong day. This app is so screwed up just because of that. For instance, on Monday, AM temp should be for the start of MONDAY, and the PM temp should be the afternoon for MONDAY. The way you have it is backwards. Your day’s “low” is showing the temp for the next morning. Why even have “MONDAY” or any listed day, when you are on a “half day” schedule. So it is legitimately showing inappropriate temp for the listed day. I dont want to check TUESDAY for MONDAY’s am temp. The easiest way to fix this is just switch the high and low around. The day begins with the LOW (am) and proceeds to the HIGH (pm). See??

  • A Visually Elegant App

    I use this for more than just weather. This app provides an opportunity to travel the world. I find myself adding cities that I would never have the chance to see. I've added Cape Town, Istanbul, Moscow, Paris, just to name a few. I like Paris because I get to see the beautiful rain and sometimes lightening effect on the screen. Yes, I've had some issues with the app not working or crashing, but it has been few and far between. Maybe I forgot to update the app and they had already caught the problem. I like it. I'm pretty sure they added a cloud effect that makes you see the clouds moving. Subtle and very nice. Somewhere a developer is saying, she totally gets my ideas.

  • This is a great app

    It is of the most useful and frequently used apps on my phone. I can check how high or low the temperature is going to be and dress accordingly, see how likely it is to rain and when — up to ten days in advance!
    If I’m planning a trip somewhere, I can similarly just go to my list of favorite cities and check what the weather is now and will be for the same ten days there.
    And so while arranging to meet friends, family or business colleagues anywhere else on the planet, I can be on the page for their weather and time of day to converse intelligently and sympathetically with them.
    And in the immediate term, about to go out for a late bike ride, I can check the minute of sunset, the wind speed and direction, the air quality and the likelihood of rain, up to and including weather radar!
    Thanks, Yahoo!

  • Odd precipitation percentages

    So, I absolutely love the layout and design of this app. The ad placement is perfect. And it’s beautiful. The widget is also great. But there’s two things that drive me crazy and are about to make me switch.
    1 - the precipitation percentage for a given day makes no sense. I’m sure there’s some method to it, but it will show some really low precipitation percentage for the day as a whole (like 19%), then you open the day up by hour and it will show multiple hours with 80% chance or greater. This is unhelpful.
    2- I miss the actual descriptions of the day’s weather that are on other apps, where they explain in plain terms what will be happening. This app just describes the high and low temperatures and precipitation percentage, which is exactly what it already shows.

  • Inconsistent

    Used to be right on. Last year or so it is very inconsistent. Almost changing minute by minute, with the stats wayyyy off from the day before. The 10 day forecast lists high and low degrees, but as the day changes, the next hour is off significantly. It did NOT used to be so “unsure”. Dont put up a 10 day or even 7 day temp range if it is not even close the same day posted. I can understand missing rain that shows forecasted, but the degrees are wayyy off. As my thermometer is changing is when yours changes. Yours is supposed to be a FORECAST of what it WILL be. Also, the high and low is backwards now. It used to be correct, and now, you have the “low” for the next morning in the date of the day schedule for the same day??? Doesnt anyone ever remember am and pm anymore??? The am should be on the next day’s low temp! Or switch the “high and low” view on the app to “low and high” so you see the next day. Putting the am for the next morning is the wrong day. This app is so screwed up lately i just cant trust it anymore.

  • Updated : accuracy has gone down the tubes

    This used to be my favorite weather app, but in recent weeks, the accuracy has completely tanked. I don’t know where it’s drawing it data from, but it is now very inaccurate, especially on rain predictions compared to other (reliable) sources. For example, I keep getting random numbers, like 53% or 47% rain prediction at a specific hour of the day, when the radar is completely clear, and ALL other weather sources say zero (which invariably has been the correct forecast). I can no longer rely on it. Fix it and I’ll reinstall.

  • Why does my location need to be on 24/7?

    I used to love this app but recently the widget stopped working and now only works if you have your location turned on (which drains battery life if kept on all the time and also allows apps to track your whereabouts). Yahoo Weather used to allow users to manually set their location in the app and have that be the default location displayed in the widget, but now the widget only work based on “current location” regardless of whatever location a user has manually set as their default location in the app. This means users are forced to turn on (and keep turned on) their location in their iPhone’s privacy settings in order to get the Yahoo widget to work, and I’m not doing that. It is disappointing because this app really did used to be awesome and easy, but now I’ll have to rely on a different app.

  • Love This App!

    I was using a weather app from Apple App Store, not very happy with it but not a lot of choices. Just a few days ago, it stopped data and asked me to pay for it. After a lot of searches I found this one. Now I love it more and more! One feature I love best is that you can change the temperature f/c just at the bottom of 5 day forecast page, without going back to settings like most other apps! I’m still in the process of getting used to this app, but base only on this one feature, I love it!

    I don’t know why there are not a lot of choices in Apple App Store, and a lot of them are charged which is quite different from Samsung. They have more choices in weather apps and they are free!!!
