App not working

Dismissed app. Keeps saying something went wrong and I can never get it to open. Deleted. Tried again. Same outcome. I give up.

Accurate & comprehensive

I rely on this app for the MOST accurate weather. It makes other weather apps look out of date and lame.

Doesn’t Open

Doesn’t open. Just says Sorry, something went wrong try again.

Absolutely gorgeous

This app is everything I've always wanted a weather app to be. It's like I had a vision in my own head but didn't think it was possible until I downloaded this after being surprised that CNN had a weather app. It's so gorgeous and thoughtfully crafted and just so pure and simple and elegant. And the little weather news rectangles are a nice well-integrated touch too. Very very satisfied with this app. Highly polished and beautiful design. Super smooth and user friendly too. 100% recommend

Need alot of work

I’m still waiting for alot of updates to this app. I have not received one alert and everything is set up right. The detailed forecast isn’t very detailed either. Please make this better. Also make alerts more customizable for iPhone users

Great, but one things missing

I love the app layout, and it presents the information perfectly. The only issue is that I wish I could toggle between the actual temperature and the real feel on the Home Screen. It seems like only real feel is displayed. My personal preference is to see the actual temperature first. Other than that, I’m a huge fan.

Needs some more work

8/21 update- They fixed the push notifications which addresses what was originally a big oversight during the launch. Hopefully home screen/lock screen widgets are on their way as well. Have updated the rating by 1 star to reflect the improvement already.

Let me start by saying I love the app and am willing to make it the daily weather app but it’s needs some more work before that happens. Notifications do not work at all. They advertise in the App Store photos that it gives push notifications for storms but after 2 severe storms in the northeast here, not a single notification. If the NWS issues a watch/warning, you don’t get a notification for those either. Also wish they would work on including lightning strike/detection for the radar because it’s a nice safety feature to have in a weather app in my opinion.

It’s a beautiful weather app all around and their effort to provide stories on why the weather will be a certain way in areas of the country is amazing. As they continue to update, they’ll quickly become a powerhouse of an app.

It’s good!

It’s a GREAT app, although one minor change, you should also make it fit for tablets and not just phones.

Sux

Not accurate radar data. Do not depend on this app to save your life in a storm.

No widget?

The Arkansas seems like it’s decent. Nothing blows my mind. The only reason for the low rating is because it doesn’t even have a widget for my home screen. I know this is a new app, but it should’ve been available at launch.

So clean, minimal ads

I love this app so much. I hardly ever see an ad. It’s so beautiful. I can’t wait for a widget.

Weather

Terrible to delete app from my account. Don’t install this app unless you want to jump through hoops!

Not great

Slow

Best Weather App for Road Trips

The radar and satellite progressions have saved us! In June we drove from Duluth, MN, to Fort Collins, CO and were able to take state highways north of I 80 and avoid golf ball sized hail. I also use it at home to plan bike rides. It's accurate!

good stuff

Never expected this from CNN but it’s pretty accurate for me and simple to understand!

Inaccurate forecast

The forecast is consistently wrong. Not just app vs what happens that day, but the app itself is inconsistent. It shows Sunday 99% chance of rain in the summary. Go to the day and there is no hour above 17% chance of rain.

Doesn’t work!

Won’t launch. I tried several times and ultimately deleted.

Truly the BEST

This app has it all! It has hourly weather forecasts out days in advance. It provides a multitude of weather stats even for the deepest of weather buffs. It has consistently updated weather related stories and facts! There is even a Photo of the Day section that always showcases beautiful things currently in the world! I open this app every day.

Useful weather info

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love the CNN Weather app! It has a really nice, clean design that’s super easy to use. The forecasting feels accurate (at least in theory — it’s been spot on for my area lately), and everything loads quickly with great visuals and straightforward info.
I’m not even a big fan of the CNN network overall, but I have to give credit where it’s due — you guys nailed the weather app. The CNN Weather team is great and clearly knows what they’re doing. It’s become my go-to app for checking conditions and forecasts.
My only real wish is that you’d release a dedicated iPad app (or at least better optimize it for the bigger screen). That would make it perfect.
Overall, it’s a fantastic app. Highly recommend! Keep up the great work.
