sucks

this app sucks

Worst weather app

Hands down this is the worst weather app I’ve used. Never have I seen a more inaccurate weather app.

Radar only shows a short window and it’s wrong. Rain chance shows information higher than every other app out there.

AccuWeather: stop allowing lewd ads

AccuWeather: don’t display allow lewd ads on your app.

PWS disagrees with AW

I have a PWS with verified accuracy but now with all these services using AI the current conditions temperature is inaccurate by at least 15%. This app is no exception. Forecasts are inaccuracies are worse now than ever. And the intrusive layout especially for favorites is just terrible. It's evidence the developer hasn't considered others but themselves in the design. Worst of all person replying seems to ignore all the negative feedback because nothing improves.👎👎

Totally wrong 100% of the time

I had a friend insist I should try AccuWeather. I have no idea where they claim to get weather data for my URBAN area, but I can tell you, they NEVER match ANY other site. They never match sites that show residential stations. They never match my own readings or the readings of my friends.

I swear they seem to be thinking my region is 50-100 miles away.

Scam ads

This app just presented me with a scam ad stating that my phone was hacked by an adult website and trying to direct me to a link. Not a good look for this app. Ads should be vetted. Also just had an ad try and tell me the app needed an update and try to redirect me. Shame on you. I’ll be switching to another app.

AccuWeather Is Nice And It Is Used On Haystack News

Arreglen la vista de pantalla

Me gusta esta app menos el detalle de la vista de pantalla está mal encuadrada los días se ven mal acomodados y los números también en el día sábado se ve totalmente en color blanco

To much fluff

Used to be a great app, even paid for premium. This last price hike was it for me. Idc about news stories related to the weather, dont care when lightning strikes…i know at the same time the phone sends a notification… rain same thing…i just wanted something that was mostly correct but the radar loading is so bad at times its unusable. Bye my once beloved app.

won’t work!

stuck on a white screen as soon as i open the app

The weather report

Always accurate updates

Won’t load

The app won’t load. Worked fine yesterday. But updated the app today and it now is just a blank screen.

Works 1/3 of the time

It won’t launch right now, been a few days now on my phone and my husbands. It is a great app when it works but it fails to launch often and may be inaccessible for days. Have tried reinstalling and restarting iPhone, no luck.

Great reports

I like knowing the weather around the country where all of my relatives live. This is the best reporting I have found.

It’s ok as an app but pretty far from accurate

Whatever they use for modeling is only good for predicting at the most 2 days out. It’s pretty far off target for anything more. It’s slightly more accurate than the weather app that comes with your iPhone but that’s not saying much. Has some interesting weather videos from around the world at least. Whatever it predicts, plan the opposite. They couldn’t be more wrong. Why bother even forecasting.

Forgets settings

On both iPad and iPhone, periodically forgets settings and makes you start over, which feels like a ploy to get you to create an account.

Ads are misleading

I like the main feature of the app and I actually thought paying for a subscription but I can’t because the advertisement is so shady and misleading that I will never give money to a company like this.

The advertisement has two X’s and if you it the wrong one, it takes you to the advertisers website. That’s just shady.

Like it, but annoying lately

I like the new design more than the one before. I haven’t really been a fond of the circle, but now I can switch it to a regular graph which is better for me. I like the fact that the icons are more colorful, not just plain black or white. The Apple Watch widget is also very complex and informative which I have been waiting for it for a long time. The annoying part is, there’s a location that I saved 1-2 years ago on my locations list and a few months ago I moved out of state and wanted to delete old locations. There’s this certain one that’s stuck to my account and no matter what I do, how many times I delete it, once the app refreshes, it’s back on my list and the even more annoying part is, I keep getting notifications of train, lightning, thunder storm, all from that location. I disable all notifications from it and they just automatically get re-enabled. Only if I sign out of the app, then it stays deleted permanently. I wrote a message to the accuweather team some time ago about this issue and it was ignored.

Not good

The worst thing this app is the layout. The basil on the sides are enormous. Waste of space Text is small for no good reason.

Always accurate

The weather is always accurate this is the best weather app I have ever used
