### 1/5 — Not compelling

*2026-07-09, version 4.3.3*

– Nothing compelling
– Terrible value for premium 

Sources:  Foreca, Apple, OpenWeather
–❗️No TWC or AccuWeather data

For $40+ per year it should have weather data from The Weather Company

### 5/5 — HeyWeather: Accurate Forecast

*2026-06-24, version 4.3.3*

Bloody fantastic

### 1/5 — Booo.

*2026-04-18, version 4.3.2*

Added a huge AI summary that is often wrong which no one asked for at the top of the forecast. Can’t remove it. 

BOOOOOO. I’m not anti-AI but this was a stupid move. 

Support does not answer emails. I pulled my subscription. I encourage everyone to look elsewhere for your weather app needs. This one ain’t it.

### 1/5 — Computer Says No

*2026-03-18, version 4.3.2*

App doesn’t even open on iPhone 17 PM running most recent iOS

### 1/5 — Force AI “summary” ruined a great app

*2026-03-18, version 4.3.2*

I have been using HeyWeather for more than a year now and love it. The different widgets and the ability to customize them make it well worth the subscription price. But in the last couple updates, it has added a very stupid AI weather summary. Not only is this summary distracting and useless, it is often wrong. Today it said the temp range would be 35-45F when just below it, the daily forecast was 19-28F. 

Please remove this feature or at the very least make it possible to turn it off. It is worse than useless.

EDIT: the AI summary continues to suck. Now it is describing wind speed in m/s and getting it wrong by orders of magnitude. 91 m/s is 200 mph, and it was not that windy.

### 2/5 — To expensive

*2026-03-01, version 4.3.2*

Like the app but $7.99 a week is just absurd.  You might justify this for a month, but not a week.

### 1/5 — Force AI “summary” ruined a great app

*2026-02-02*

I have been using HeyWeather for more than a year now and love it. The different widgets and the ability to customize them make it well worth the subscription price. But in the last couple updates, it has added a very stupid AI weather summary. Not only is this summary distracting and useless, it is often wrong. Today it said the temp range would be 35-45F when just below it, the daily forecast was 19-28F. 

Please remove this feature or at the very least make it possible to turn it off. It is worse than useless.

### 1/5 — Weather radar

*2025-10-25, version 4.3.2*

Rain radar doesn’t show anything in the uk

### 1/5 — I don’t get it

*2025-10-17, version 4.3.1*

This app is when you just get in it it immediately crashes and the chosen error message and then if I tap on widgets it randomly crashes and you have to buy the subscriptions for $39 billion for no reason like the weather app like the Apple weather app is more cheaper than this junk

### 1/5 — Just go full paywall already

*2025-08-26, version 4.2.1*

Almost anything useful is behind a (PREMIUM) paywall. And the app suffers from the same problem as all the other weather apps, terrible source data and sloppy UI design. I long for the days of Dark Sky. We didn’t know how good we had it.
