Leave a Review Yahoo Weather
Best Weather App Out There
I love the Yahoo Weather app! It works great. I downloaded it prior to one of the earlier updates. There were some reviews that advised against that old update because they said it caused problems with the app. So I listened and the app has worked flawlessly. Now, a few updates later, I finally decided to update the app. I have the most current update, and it's all good. Works well, no problems. I highly recommend this app and the current update. Sometimes I believe that reviews may be misleading based upon the device and network provider too. FYI, I am on the Best network, Verizon. And, I am running a 64 Gig iPhone 5s. Great phone, great network, very happy!!!Show lessNLBbossMan
What could make a difference!!??
Yahoo weather is my go-to; Numero uno. Next the NYTimes and puzzles and news and so on. For me, I always look at the weather with attendant moon, tides, air and natural phenomena. However, the Covid 19 has taken precedent to everything else and I sincerely am thankful for your daily updates on relative vital statistics on the county level, the state and America. However, there is a glaring omission that I feel could be easily corrected, which would be helpful and illustrate and underline the message. POPULATION NUMBERS and % I have a list of the population of each state and the county where my family and my friends live.l This gives me personally a more conclusive look at the concern I have logistically for family, for friends, for my world as a whole. I even have the populations of most of Europe, which inform me as to how California stacks up. The message is, that Pam Dixon is not unique or very different in many ways from millions of others who are probably writing in to tell you how they cherish their Yahoo Weather News, yet, there is something missing!! Thank you for being so ‘present’ for all of us, for we are all in this together. Happy Holidays! Pamela DixonThis never got ‘sent’. ?
And now phone won’t ‘flip’ to other weather locations I have checked. Maybe a menu would work if the phone is dumbing down?!Show lessBenicia Pam

The Yahoo Weather Apps provides all I need at a glance to help me plan my week. I like day by day break down that gives me how many hours in a day with sunset times so I could plan my evening walk to end before sunset. I also want temperature and wind speed when I ride my bike. If wind speed is 10+ mph and temperature is 40 degrees F, I know it is too cold to ride. I also have allergies and I need to know the quality of the air and this apps give me just that. I have compared this apps to other apps. The Yahoo is the best and is short and sweet and to the point to help me to make good decisions. I look at this app at 3 or 4 times a day. It is a great apps and I highly recommend this to others.Show lessWiliscio
Best weather app I’ve had 🤟
I love this weather app! Very easy to use, forecasts are accurate, lots of extra data I didn’t know I wanted until I saw it and beautiful pix that make me look forward to checking everything out! The only things that I could suggest would be if I could set a notification to also see weather changes by a customizable degree setting, I had a widget that shows the current temperature on the Home Screen and maybe a horoscope button for fun. However, I’d totally recommend this app for anyone. 🌞Show lessChumash Wildwolf
Yahoo is great from start to finish and user friendly!
Yahoo is my go-to, quite compulsively I confess! There’s plenty of information in what I find is an attractive and whimsical layout. The pictures are beautiful, often stunning so, it adds to the enjoyment. I’ve been an outdoor woman for all of my life so, I live by it and delight in weather experiences during each wonderful season. I would say that weather is one of my hobbies so, apart from all the fascinating stories I enjoy reading, as well as, research, Yahoo! is the perfect little tool in my toolbox! I have it set to various countries because I like to check on weather happenings in the world and I diligently refer to Boston’s forecast in advance, as well as, the countries I’m traveling to and of course when I’m there. All in all, I can say that I’m obsessed with weather and in awe of Mother Nature so, Yahoo! is the best. I love getting updates too! I always recommend Yahoo!Show lessMy Nooch

Thanks for letting us know! We also appreciate the five stars!-BRYahoo weather app review
If there was the option to do so, I’d give yahoo weather a 4.6 rating of a possible 5. With three weather apps on my phone, this one is my longterm favorite. For several years now, by far, this has the best balance of a simple, easy to use layout with a variety of very useful information. The only reason I can’t give this a 5.0 is because the forecasts this last 1-2 years has not been as consistently accurate as my other weather apps. Prior to those years however I’d guess they were more accurate than in recent times. So I’m still a big fan and am hopeful yahoo can once again be a primary leader with quality information.Show lessEric Darracq
Provides great information.
I love this app. I have been using it for years. I have put thousands of miles on my new little RV traveling across the country and I wouldn’t dream of doing something like that without the help of this app. As a single woman traveling alone weather is critical to me. This app provides outstanding information and is seldom incorrect. I have an old iPhone which only has 12.5 iOS. I hope Yahoo! never requires anything higher than that in order to access is terrific app. If it’s not broken guys don’t go messing with it.Show lessLindita99
Redesign is a mixed bag
In general, I like the new look of Yahoo Weather which appeared when I upgraded to iOS 15. I also like the info on air quality and the hourly temperature forecasts for the next few days.
But some of the redesign decisions are negatives. I miss the local photos; I don’t expect you to have pictures of my little suburb, but I am only 11 miles from a major city, and live in a medium-sized state. Surely you could come up with something less boring than a generic sky photo as background to the forecast.
My biggest problem is with the lack of an index for the radar map. How am I supposed to interpret the large purplish cloud moving in from the west? Not a clue in the app. Which is better, a green cloud or a red cloud? No way to tell. Without an index, this stuff is just decoration.Show lessKD2ADL
One of the best weather apps out there
This MUCH IMPROVED weather app is now impressive. They clearly understand what is and isn’t important for weather data. It’s not loaded down with time consuming and uninteresting videos like “the big” weather app. Plus it’s down-to-earth approach is simple to read and quick to go through without all the annoying ads. I wish there were an option to “buy out of the ads” if so desired but the fact that it really only has one ad is impressive and makes it clearly a #1 pick and a “must have” app for anyone going out of their home! Way to go folks - you nailed it! I can now delete “the big” weather app!Show lessJason Ripp
Sunny when cloudy
I have used this Yahoo weather app on and off for the past few years, and today will likely be the last day I use it. I woke up to cloudy and cool weather, so I checked the Yahoo weather app to see when the possibility of rain will be. Upon opening the app, it said “sunny”, with a clear bright sun icon. What? So I thought oh, the app probably didn’t have a chance to update, so I checked another weather app, immediately the other app showed cloudy skies with possible rain in two hours. This “other app” also showed the exact temperature that my home thermometer was showing too. So I went back to the Yahoo weather app...doink! It still showed the weather in my area as sunny with not even a cloud underneath, and it also showed a much higher temp than what I showed in our area. This is typical of the non-accurate Yahoo app that has disappointed me as in many times past. There are many other weather apps out there that I have found to be more accurate than this Yahoo app. Maybe for other people it is different than what I stated, but for me it has proven to be mostly inaccurate.Show lessiikkonn
