### 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.

### 3/5 — Good App, Radar issues

*2025-08-16, version 4.2.1*

I really enjoyed the app, but after several days and many restarts, I can get the maps/radar section to display any data.  It loads the map, but shows no overlay . Just a map.

### 2/5 — Server errors persist

*2025-06-25, version 4.2.1*

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. My location is Czechia if that helps the developers as they ignore my emails for support. 
This is not good enough for a very expensive weather app subscription.

### 1/5 — Widgets

*2025-04-30, version 4.2.1*

Home Screen widgets do not work when adding your own background! App also freezes often and widget temp and condition does not match the weather page.

### 1/5 — Nu nog automatisch van locatie wisselen

*2025-04-24, version 4.2.0*

Nu nog automatisch van locatie wisselen en neerslag in het Nederlands en terug op Apple Watch zien

### 1/5 — Tired of the ad

*2025-04-22, version 4.2.0*

Every single time I open the app, and I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME the damn thing asks me to subscribe. I open the app, close it, forgot to check something open it again immediately and it asks me to subscribe again. 

I'd give it 5* but I'm so annoyed by this I just can't. Finally uninstalling and finding something else.

I did try the trial a long time ago and it wasn't worth it in the end.

### 1/5 — App can’t predict the weather.

*2025-03-30, version 4.2.0*

Predicts hours of rain when there is no rain. Can’t seeing a storm coming that is only a half hour away. The Weather Channel app does.

### 1/5 — Widgets

*2025-03-28, version 4.2.0*

Home Screen widgets do not work when adding your own background! App also freezes often.

### 1/5 — Support is non existent

*2025-02-23, version 4.2.0*

Uninstalling from watch leaves complications still in options. Reached out to support multiple times without any response.

### 1/5 — Canada

*2025-02-20, version 4.2.0*

From the US and will have nothing to do with Canada

### 3/5 — Weather

*2025-02-12, version 4.2.0*

Good fast details

### 1/5 — προβλημα ορασης

*2025-01-16, version 4.2.0*

Μία καλή εφαρμογή αλλά για εμάς που έχουμε πρόβλημα όρασης μας δυσκολεύει σε μεγάλο βαθμό. Παρακαλώ αν μπορείτε να κάνετε την εφαρμογή πιο προσβάσιμη. Σ' ευχαριστώ πολύ.

### 1/5 — Too many features require premium, dark pattern user interface tricks.

*2025-01-03, version 4.1.1*

They try the full screen accept a free trial ad trick when you first open the app, and their suggested plan is not the one that would be the best deal for you.  You have to look for the X if you don’t want a free trial.   

If you have a standard level of service and not the premium, a lot of the user interface space is wasted with gigantic rectangles telling you you could get more forecast days if you pay for premium. Very few of the widgets work if you don’t pay, they won’t give you notifications of severe weather like tornado or severe thunderstorm if you don’t pay, but they have no problem telling you that there’s a full moon for free but what good is that? This app is too heavily monetized and I do not recommend it. I’d consider paying a dollar or two a month but $10 is bonkers.  That’s roughly what I pay for Spotify and I use that for hours a day. 

Just stick with one of the free apps, like the Weather app that Apple gives you with your iPhone instead.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch 無法連動

*2024-10-25, version 4.0.0*

試用中，但想棄用，apple watch程式不穩定，無法連動

### 2/5 — дорого

*2024-10-06*

сделали бы хотя бы три виджета бесплатных, а так очень и очень дорого

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2024-09-29, version 4.0.0*

there are many free weather applications that offer much more, not worth the money

### 3/5 — Not compatible with iOS18

*2024-09-26, version 4.0.0*

Love the app but haven’t been able to open it since updating to iOS 18

### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Донатная помойка

*2025-07-15*

В заголовке всё сказано. Любой пук за $

### 1/5 — Weather app???

*2025-05-26, version 4.2.1*

This is not a weather app. Pay for maps?  What the heck?  So many Free weather apps that you don’t pay for maps. Apple should take this off, a disgrace👎👎👎

### 5/5 — Since the early days

*2024-05-26, version 4.0.0*

### 5/5 — THE BEST EVER WEATHER

*2024-02-17, version 4.0.0*

THE BEST EVER ACCURATE WEATHER. Highly prestigious!!
I chose the life-time subscription and I am very happy for this choice!

### 5/5 — Some problems

*2024-01-15, version 3.2.4*

I love HeyWeather, but it’s kind of annoying here and there. First there’s this glitch on a phone where you can’t scroll down all the way. Second is there weather isn’t fully correct the temperature and precipitation is a little off. Besides that it’s a wonderful app and I love how they designed it!

### 5/5 — Aspect

*2023-10-18, version 3.1.0*

Awesomeness~

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-10-01, version 3.0.3*

To my own foolish self. I left a bad review that was my fault and not the developers. I found out you can customize the widgets when searching deeper. I’m sorry about that developer. I’ll make sure to not be so judgmental next time. 🥹

### 5/5 — Error 521

*2023-09-29, version 3.0.3*

Can’t open HeyWeather. Will not display. What is going on?
