### 3/5 — can put some more information

*2024-07-18, version 8.99.8*

-UV index

### 3/5 — Update time bug “Updated (null)”

*2024-05-12, version 8.99.8*

Still no plan to fix the update time bug?

### 4/5 — Very useful app.

*2023-09-04, version 8.99.8*

However difficult to the elderly due to inability to zoom in and enlarge the contents and texts!!

### 3/5 — 小工具 version 8.99.7

*2023-05-17, version 8.99.8*

Is it possible to add back the detailed weather description in the widget like the previous version?

### 3/5 — No raindrop update

*2022-11-23, version 8.99.7*

Recently the apps showing raindrop remained on 9 Nov 2022

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-08-24*

A very nicely designed app. Appears to use the same data as Hong Kong Observatory but HK Weather has much better graphics and interface design. I like it!

### 4/5 — Great UI but temp is off by 2°C

*2021-11-09, version 8.99.6*

Great UI and widgets on WatchOS, however the temperature is off by -2°C compared to the official HKO app… Devs please fix it plz :)

### 3/5 — Can be better

*2021-07-30, version 8.99.6*

Can be better so we will know for example 5 o clock is rainy and 7 o clock is cloudy

### 3/5 — Not reliable

*2020-10-14*

I have been using this app for at least 2 years now and have found it to be reliable. Until this morning. My daughter is in kindergarten and I check this app first thing in the morning to see if classes will be suspended. This morning the app claimed it was T3. I almost left it at that but decided to check other sources and they all said it was only Strong Monsoon. Now I will always doubt this app.

### 4/5 — Typhoon and other warnings in widget

*2020-10-13, version 8.99.2*

This is a very good app. If typhoon signal and other weather warnings can also be viewed in the widget it would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Good to support new widget function on iOS 14

*2020-09-23, version 8.99.1*

Great to support the new widget function on iOS 14. This app is really the few 3rd party apps that supports the Home Screen widget function at this stage. Appreciate the effort.

### 5/5 — Nice app with good interface

*2020-09-18, version 8.99.0*

It’s a good app which supports local weather data and integrates with Apple Watch, would be even better if the weather location can also be shown on the clock screen with temperature 👍🏻

### 4/5 — Accurate data but some bugs in IOS14

*2020-09-17, version 8.99.0*

Beautiful interface and accurate data 
Widgets don’t update automatically. Plz fix it

### 5/5 — Good job

### 1/5 — What’s wrong?

*2022-07-02, version 8.99.7*

Used to be good but just not working now!🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — No Fahrenheit choice on settings

*2021-08-14, version 8.99.6*

Thanks

### 1/5 — annoying settings

*2021-02-14*

can’t turn off the damn pop ups .. warnings and ads .. just about to delete this

### 1/5 — Incorrect information

*2020-02-24, version 8.15.0*

What’s the point of having this app, when all other data sources are more correct! Currently it states 16.8°C, whereas all other weather sources, including the aviation atis state 21°C....please fix or just don’t display the information....

### 1/5 — Its in Chinese

*2018-08-02, version 8.9.1*

Misleading. UI and info remains in Chinese, even if you select “ABC” from Settings. Intentional liers.

### 1/5 — Always cannot connect .. connection is timeout

*2017-11-26, version 8.9.1*

Pls update the app

### 1/5 — 十號風球顯示唔到，風大雨大以為落咗波

*2017-08-23, version 8.5.0*

差

### 1/5 — Disappointed.... less than 2 months after last review

*2017-02-13, version 8.5.0*

It WAS good until recently with the followings I disappointed. 
1. Beautiful backgrounds all gone
2. Charts about regional temperature, humidity MUST be refreshed upon each selection. Otherwise, it may show data few days back. 

But still 2 areas I like, 
1. Can choose the cameras showing real time pictures of different areas
2. Notifications of warming signals are correct 

Sorry to quit this app until improvements.

### 1/5 — Crash on launch repeatedly under iOS 8

*2014-12-06*

This used to be a good app until iOS 8. Now it crashes on launch. I have to attempt to launch the app 5 or 6 times before it finally stops crashing.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2012-06-10, version 5.1.2*

The readings of temperatures, backgrounds, and much more.

### 5/5 — 5 for iPhone 3 for Apple Watch

*2025-06-10*

Great service and response! Works really well on Apple Watch

### 5/5 — Best weather app ever

*2025-05-05, version 8.99.8*

我覺得「天氣報道」又有多少度、又有天氣的信號、又有下星期的天氣是好的。而且有背景主題，我最愛的是Jesus with me～ 而且又簡單方便和實用。👍🏻🩷 建議：我很希望在無論在電話還是iPad 都加更多可愛漂亮的主題，例如：Sanrio、Sumikko 、圓滾滾柴犬⋯⋯ 我真是最喜歡你的天氣報告app 因為你的格式很易看和你獨特的主題背景啊！ I think the "Weather Report" shows the temperature, the weather signal, and that the weather next week will be good. There are also background themes, my favorite is Jesus with me~ and it is simple, convenient and practical. 👍🏻🩷 Suggestion: I really hope to add more cute and beautiful themes to both phones and iPads, such as: Sanrio, Sumikko, chubby Shiba Inu... I really like your weather report app the most because your format is easy to read and your theme background is unique!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-12-29, version 8.99.8*

A lot of weather information,
High Accuracy,
Suggestion:
Make a minimal, Morden, clean theme and widget (e.g. B/W color tone),
warning on widget, Lock Screen

Thanks
