I’m very close to giving it 5*, however, the ad removal price/year is not correct. It states that it cost $1 less in the app than what is presented to you once you are about to pay. I don’t mind paying a $ more, but at least make sure that it’s not misleading then. Keep up the great work on this, it’s truly someone exceptional to be using as a South African. *I’ll subscribe and update this review as soon as the discrepancies are fixed ### 4/5 — Local weather *2020-07-02* Hi, sometimes the weather is way out when it comes to wind. Often the wind is blowing much harder than the app says it is. Partly I think because the app keeps changing my location to Kingswood which is down in the valley. I am up on the side of the hill and we get lots of wind here. J. Holmes ### 3/5 — Gone from what was a decent app to worse *2017-09-03, version 2.1.1* Was awesome me app for local SA Weather conditions. Push notifications app DONT work anymore ... in addition I'd prefer buying the app and getting storm /Rain notifications for free rather then downloading the & then buying services, this model of pricing is just greed. The subscriptions are ridiculous ! ### 4/5 — App won't open *2016-12-15, version 2.1.1* I've used this app for ages but since the latest update I can't even open the app. It just says that it's expanding into Africa and then shuts down. Disappointing. ### 3/5 — Need to fix your advertised price *2015-10-15, version 2.1* So I'll start off and say that I love the app. The problem I have is that when you go into my weather and look at the subscription options they are shown in South African Rands however when you go to purchase you are charged in pounds there is a very Big difference between paying £9.99 and R9.99 with the exchange rate at almost 21 to 1. ### 1/5 — 😞 *2015-09-21, version 2.1* Did the update today, app doesn't work anymore 😭 ### 1/5 — Hate new app *2015-09-19, version 2.1* Insipid colour scheme - no more sunny skies or rain clouds. Preferred old app. Used to show what time of day rain was expected and %. Probably going to delete and use other weather app's. ### 1/5 — Not supported by iOS 7 *2015-09-14, version 2.0* Wish I could downgrade. Updated the app and it's now unable to load. ### 3/5 — Landscape gone... *2015-09-06, version 2.0* Now stalled in portrait mode only? Uhh, most apps allow either... why. ### 1/5 — Very old apps *2015-03-20, version 1.3* Where are guys? Wake up... Last update for this apps in 2012 !!! We are now in 2015 and new iPhone are released with different IOS ### 1/5 — Buggy and radar doesn't work *2015-02-27, version 1.3* Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Does not function anymore *2014-12-31, version 1.3* This app has been giving the same weather forecast for the past few months. It used to work perfectly but now it is useless. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-12-27, version 1.3* Crashes all the time - hasn't been updated in years - don't waste your time. ### 2/5 — Crap *2014-06-16, version 1.3* Information is good but I have had to delete my locations twice now as they are blank when opening the app. Needs work ### 4/5 — Good Weather App *2014-05-17, version 1.3* I use this app as my preferred weather app, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App no longer working *2018-01-24, version 2.1.1* The App no longer displays data.

Doesn't work or crashes all the time. ;( ### 1/5 — Crash *2015-10-04, version 2.1* Crash after selecting advanced. ### 1/5 — Don't upgrade - the app stops working *2015-09-22, version 2.1* Upgraded yesterday and it stops working. Also preferred the old app - new is a downgrade... ### 1/5 — Gone bust *2015-09-22, version 2.1* The new update has made it slow, inaccurate and all round lousy. Used it before the update, now it takes up space one front page. Deleted ### 1/5 — 😔 *2015-09-21, version 2.1* I'm not impressed with the new UI and the look and feel of the new app. What happened to the beautiful icons and nice monochrome backgrounds? Could you guys kindly take it back to the old design because everything was working fine and was proud to use it everyday. Until then I regret to inform you that I will not be using this app again. Not phased at all! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mrs Kotzian *2023-08-03, version 3.2.3* Can only get one day.
