### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-05-04, version 6.1.502*

App works okay. The forecasts are rarely right. Severe weather notifications happen after the event. If they say breezy , expect high winds. Can’t e trusted.

### 1/5 — Out of here

*2025-01-25, version 5.17.512*

Not very accurate and they seem to keep finding ways to squeeze more and more advertising into my weather. What good is a 14 day forecast if you can’t forecast weather more than 2 or 3 days accurately?

### 1/5 — Out of here

*2025-01-21*

Not very accurate and they seem to keep finding ways to squeeze more and more advertising into my weather.

### 3/5 — Annoying Ads

*2024-12-05, version 5.16.1705*

I often consult the hour by hour data. The video ads have been intrusive, but now they pop up every 2 seconds.

### 2/5 — Not loving the updated app

*2024-10-19, version 5.16.1705*

I loved being able to open my app and see the current temp and conditions not liking
The cluttered look.
It was just a bit too much for me.
I had to delete it.

### 5/5 — 69News weather app

*2024-07-23, version 5.15.410*

I love the weather app but where is the muggy meter and dew points

### 3/5 — Missing the dew points?

*2024-06-30, version 5.15.407*

Where are the dew point values? I can’t find them after the latest iPhone update - not in the current weather stats or in the hourly section.

### 2/5 — New update is buggy

*2024-02-13, version 5.13.801*

I just spent 15 minutes trying to watch a 5 minute video on the storm forecast and never successfully finished it. Commercial ads play then the video starts. Then 30-45 seconds later another ad. Then the video starts over again. Often when I try to move the video forward to where I left off, another ad plays. Occasionally the video would continue. More often it started over again. I never did manage to watch the entire forecast video. I love your weather and other than this the app is great. Please fix it fast.

### 4/5 — Menu bar

*2023-12-16, version 5.12.704*

Takes multiple swipes at menu bar to get it to open up. Really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I been looking for

*2023-06-23, version 5.8.501*

I’ve used WeatherBug for years because I like that the 10 day weather is in a vertical, list format. However the app is painfully slow. I’ve tried other weather apps but the daily weather is always horizontal and I hated having to scroll over to see the whole week. 

THIS app is exactly what I wanted, simple, vertical list, I can see the whole week without having to scroll left or right, and the temperatures are more accurate than the other apps I’ve used where they would be a good 4-6 degrees off.
