It’s the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario

Companies don’t have to cave to our toddler of a president, throwing a tantrum. If they choose to do so, I choose to delete them from my device devices. I’m giving The Weather Channel and WeatherBug another try.

Lake Ontario

It’s super disappointing to see this app is cowering to the administration’s idiotic obsession with rebranding everything in frumpty drumpty’s wishes.

I loved this app but have since cancelled my sub and deleted it from my phone.

Inaccurate map

Sorry, but any mapping software who changes naming conventions on a whim is not worth space or ad revenue on my devices. Change back to Lake Ontario.

Lake Ontario

There is no such place as Lake America. I can’t have faith in the accuracy of this site if it so easily bows down to this incompetent administration. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

AccuWeather

You keep asking to create a account, but you will not take my email on my password so what exactly are you asking for?

Unfortunate Radar

The radar portion is becoming less and less reliable for planning outdoor activities.

Follower

Deleted this app for using Lake America. Can’t trust anyone who bows to an orange creep.

Inaccurate map

If you don’t label Lake Ontario correctly I am deleting your app.

Wrong titles

The weather is accurate, but there are a several mislabeled areas including Gulf of American and Lake Ontario. Those places don’t exist. Poor editorial processes and judgement by the company.

I have ads on Premium +

This is the second time in 6 months that my Premium + AccuWeather app is playing ads! Why does this keep happening on my prepaid annual subscription ??

Premium muestra lo mismo que versión gratuita

No me muestra las proyecciones de 7 días

Is it raining or not?

Most inaccurate weather app I’ve used and I have a paid subscription! More often than not it’s pouring rain outside yet AccuWeather says no rain for the next 120 minutes! Radar doesn’t match up with the forecast on the Today screen! I would say, at least from my experience, It’s about 40% accurate!

The best

The best weather app, accurate and comprehensive

Not Working

I downloaded it three times and it doesn't load.

Was that lightning?

Nothing like checking the weather on this app when it’s dark: cool blurry brand colors (that sometimes hang/lock up), then a lightning FLASH! then the spinning logo. That lightning feature HAS GOT TO GO.

Not reliable

I have the paid version which I have no intention of renewing. Not sure if it’s just the folks tasked with updates in our area, or if it’s NOAA poor forecasting but our area has had countless unwarned thunderstorms, tornadoes and the poorest modeling of daily weather I’ve ever experienced. The maps they present throughout the day as “news” are too small to be readable and their epically poor programming doesn’t allow for zooming in. So good luck finding your town or location on the news updates. This is a simple fix, which they don’t do. You’ll find much better apps out there. Skip this lazily maintained, costly “tool”.

Audio conflict

There is no reason I need a weather app to override my car’s audio. This could be my favorite weather app - but all of my audio shutting down when I open this app infuriates me.

slow and hate format

Many months ago when they updated this app it has become very very slow. It takes forever to load and I don't like the format from months ago when they redid the app. It was better the only way and a lot faster.

Startup Screen

Why am I taken to the startup screen every other day as if I’m opening the app for the first time….

Future radar no good

I am an avid weather follower, and the future radar is just so bad. Many times precipitation jumps, disappears or veers completely unrealistically, is basically useless. Which is probably why the hourly forecast is garbage also. Rest of the app is pretty good.
