### 5/5 — Weather

*2026-05-07, version 6.1.601*

Everybody likes weather right?

### 5/5 — Weather app

*2026-04-14*

Accurate weather report

### 1/5 — No ad free option

*2026-03-10, version 6.1.601*

Get rid of ads or at least give me the option to upgrade to add free

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-09-04, version 5.17.706*

Too many ads!!!!

### 1/5 — Forecasts contradict themselves

*2025-05-06*

OK. First there are a bazillion ads, but more importantly the forecasts are not consistent. Here is an example.
Today the chance of rain is listed as 20%. BUT if you expand the forecast it tells you that there is a 50% chance of rain in the morning and a 60% chance in the evening.
Now I’m not a mathematical genius but I know that 50% and 60% do NOT come out to 20% for the day.
So the question is: Which forecast do I believe? Right now, neither one! 
1 star because I can’t rate it any lower.

### 1/5 — Rarely updated

*2025-04-27, version 5.17.511*

What good is a weather forecast that is 48 hours old?

### 1/5 — App is one big ad

*2025-01-05*

This use to be a decent app.  Now my screen is filled with ads.  The opening screen was about 70% filled with ads.  This app is no longer of much use with all this extra on it.  I go to it for weather, not so you or google can send me ads.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate and filled with ads

*2024-11-08*

Frustrating app to use. It will say there is a 50% chance of rain on a given day, but when you expand the hours for that day it may only show 10% chance all day long. At least make it agree with your own forecasts!
It is irritating that it reloads every time you have to jump to another app and is full of irritating ads.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2024-09-19*

You want some weather?

### 5/5 — Great app availability!!

*2024-08-27*

Thx for having weather reporting at one’s fingertips!
Especially for us seniors.
So far, you seem to be accurate, not downplaying the bad weather
Reality!!
Will continue to rely on this needy information!!
