Still the same status after many months! *2026-05-09, version 6.1.601* Details such as dew point, wind steady speed plus gust and direction and other details I have been accustomed to when using other app such as weather underground. As an ex-pilot, I’d find the details helpful. Otherwise I use your app frequently. The layout of the page is terrible! White text on white background means CANT READ IT!! I’ve deleted the app. It’s one thing to complain. It’s another thing to ignore them!!! ### 4/5 — Missing weather details *2026-03-16, version 6.1.601* Details such as dew point, wind steady speed plus gust and direction and other details I have been accustomed to when using other app such as weather underground. As an ex-pilot, I’d find the details helpful. Otherwise I use your app frequently. ### 4/5 — Forecast *2024-08-15, version 5.15.411* Wish the video was longer ### 3/5 — Missing data *2024-05-20, version 5.14.700* Don’t like the new app changes. Can you put the dew point back on the homepage or in the daily forecast. Dew point is very important information in reading a forecast. ### 2/5 — Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam *2023-12-26, version 5.11.503* Update: every time I start the app, I get spammed! I thought I’d try again. You don’t listen. Goodbye for the last goddamn time! ### 4/5 — Radar *2023-09-13, version 5.10.504* My radar does not work when it doesn’t need a update so I get really mad 😡 about but otherwise it is spot on ### 2/5 — Mostly cloudy = 5-12 inches of snow?! *2023-03-04* The daily weather icon has been showing “Mostly Cloudy” for today, but 5-12 (now 5-8) inches of snow was predicted in the details for tonight! This is ridiculous! People are obviously going to prepare for the snow, not the clouds, unless you are a solar farmer maybe. If there was a tornado developing late in the day, would the icon be “cloudy”? The daily icon should really display “what’s the most important weather for today?” Please figure out how to get the icons to be logical or create a separate icon for nighttime. You’re not the only app with this problem, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fix it. Overall, good app, but this is just ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Wish they had a widget *2022-10-22, version 5.6.506* Would be nice to create a widget that was half forecast, half radar. I currently use one from someone else, but I like this better I think a lot of people would want that. ### 2/5 — Ad crazy *2021-07-07, version 5.3.600* I get that ads are necessary to support an app, but this app is more accurately ads with some weather news. Distracting and excessive ads ### 3/5 — Joining the spammers *2021-04-05, version 5.2.302* Waiting 26 seconds to hear the broadcast is down right terrible. The app would be so much better if you removed the video broadcast! ### 3/5 — Too many commercials *2021-02-20, version 5.1.604* There are way too many commercials and advertisements that you need to watch before the weather videos. Many of the advertisements are longer than the actual weather reports. ### 5/5 — Shiri *2021-02-14, version 5.1.604* Is great ### 5/5 — My favorite , so professional with quality content *2021-02-12, version 5.1.604* So professional ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-06-27, version 6.2.517* Too many ads before getting to the content. ### 1/5 — Temps by hour and humidity levels by hour *2025-08-21, version 5.17.705* Where’s the information ### 1/5 — Weather Radar is trash *2023-09-11* The 24 hr radar and the 6 hr radar gives totally different readings for rain. When you check the radar for both at exactly the same time it gives different rain patterns. ### 1/5 — What gives? *2022-01-06, version 8.4.901* Your weather person on TV (and all other networks) say we are getting 6-8” of snow tomorrow but your ap says 1-3”! ### 1/5 — Review *2021-07-26, version 5.3.600* I would have given 5 stars but you keep asking for a rating over and over perhaps you should only pop it out once and stop begging ### 1/5 — Weather *2021-05-04, version 5.2.302* Love Sherry but dislike all the ads. ### 1/5 — Improve your weather video *2021-02-15, version 5.1.604* What’s with the 1.5 day video forecast. Get with the competition and video standards. Provide Complete forecast with 7-day included. If you are trying to entice viewers to follow up with full news, not happening. 99% of viewers Want the full weather quickly, so viewers quickly switch to your Boston competition, 4,5,7,10 station websites to get a complete video. Don’t understand your marketing department. “Tune in for the full forecast “ so uninviting ... You have full videos on digital format, just program it in. Simple!! ### 1/5 — Re-design terrible *2019-05-10, version 4.8* It’s not that I don’t like change. Some changes are for the better and are welcome. The recent re-design is so darned non-intuitive, I really hate opening it now. Can’t see an hour by hour look at the day any more, I have not seen a remotely positive review since the major redesign. I pretty much hate it now. This is the very first review I’ve done on any APP, which says something about what it took to make me bother to spend this time providing this feedback. The old version was a whole lot more intuitive, but this one is all over the place... Hope you throw away the old code. ### 1/5 — New update killed this app *2019-04-03, version 4.7.1002* This was app horrible to start, but today’s update killed it completely. There is no quick way to check the weather, with out going trough multiple clicks and scrolls. I will give a month and if no fix I will uninstall. ### 1/5 — Do Not Update This App! *2019-03-31, version 4.7.1002* I have always loved this app. I could open it and immediately see the 7 day forecast, and quickly change to another location to check on my folks. With the new organization I can not do either of these things easily or quickly!!!! I may have to find a new app. Put it back...please. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-06-19, version 6.2.517* This app is accurate with the weather ### 5/5 — Boston 25 weather *2026-05-20, version 6.1.601* Provides critical weather information if anyone needs to take action ### 5/5 — Home weather *2025-12-26, version 5.17.705* Love the Boston 25 weather. Our meteorologist know our cities and towns they’ve grown up here and know what to expect and let us know this is what’s coming. ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-05-31* I like it ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-05-26, version 5.14.700* I like it very much as nice and easy and I like the radar feature that gives you most of the day. Wish it would only add something for an Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Spot on *2023-07-21, version 5.8.410* Excellent weather forecast!!! Love Shiri n the crew!! ### 5/5 — Boston 25 is the best weather station 👍 *2023-05-08, version 5.8.410* The best ever!!! ### 5/5 — Always 💯spot on *2022-07-19, version 5.5.804* I wish it had more detail about the town of Arlington otherwise I SHIRI Kieth and the rest of the team are always spot on with forecasts I love being alerted with their weather app love all the forcaststers ### 5/5 — Tired of lackluster apps *2022-07-09, version 5.5.804* Right there, right on and quick alerts! Fox!! ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-03-28, version 5.1.604* Probably with out a doubt. The most accurate forecast. I watch it constantly.
