### 1/5 — 100% Inaccurate

*2024-12-08*

Dead of winter where I live and app says it’s +27° C
Sunrise and sunset times miss the mark by a country mile
What a joke

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-04-14*

Please fix nothing showing

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2022-06-09*

I had this app a few years ago and could easily overlay the weather onto photos to post on social media and now I can’t do that. That’s the only reason I bought it!

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2022-03-07*

Nothing works 😡

### 1/5 — What happened to the seasonal overlays?

*2020-08-04*

I remember the other version of the app, Had all different kinds of overlays for each of the seasons and I downloaded it again looking for all of these overlays, and I cannot find them?

### 1/5 — Вопросы

*2020-08-01*

Что за ..? Где старая инста Погода с автоматическими хешиегами, с разнообразием накладок..фотки непонятно как загрузить, не на русском

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2020-04-05*

Can’t get the info about temperature, doesn’t recognise the location!

**Developer response:** Hi Pitasha 

Would you mind contacting me via the support link to help you troubleshoot the issue?

In the meantime, I suggest checking the privacy settings in the iOS Settings app, and verifying that InstaWeather has access to your location while using the app.

Additionally, you can try entering your city directly using the “Change city” button inside the app

Thank you

### 2/5 — No Sharing to Social Media?

*2019-02-18*

I thought this app used to be focused on sharing your location's weather info on social media. What happened?

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for your feedback. I recently updated the app to allow you to export any screen directly to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc). 

I encourage you to try out version 1.31 and let me know if you have any further feedback 🙂

### 3/5 — Instant Delete

*2024-04-10*

AD pop ups are a distraction and there is no option to purchase or remove ads in an IAP.
Icons on the main screen to change images and location needs to be moved. Nice app, but if it’s going to be a success there needs to be some updates.

### 3/5 — Инстаграм?

*2020-06-18*

Как сделать пост в Инстаграм??? Нажимаю на стрелку - в другие соцсети можно, в Инстаграм нет.

### 5/5 — This app help me a lot!

*2019-04-14*

This app is really good to know the weather even that every weather we can choose a colour for it! (For example: cloudy i chose blue) the app is really COOL!😁😄

### 5/5 — Images downloading

*2018-10-28*

Dear creators!

The name of this app is InstaWeather. So probably it should be possible to download your customized image to insta stories. 
But could you please explain how should I save pictures from this app? 

Thanks in advance

**Developer response:** Thanks for your question. I added in version 1.30 the ability to export any screen from the app directly to social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc) :)

### 4/5 — 不能使用桌面小组件

*2024-05-02*

希望新增一下

### 4/5 — Live weather

*2023-02-22, version 2.0.4*

Please add live weather

### 3/5 — Decent weather app

*2019-01-07*

As a professional meteorologist, this NEW app is decent, but needs a few suggestions/fixes. I have 3 airports within 4 miles of me here in Anchorage, and it chose the nearest airport (Lake Hood), even though Ted Stephens International Airport (Anchorage, Alaska) is only .3/4 of a mile away. 

Lake hood is 4 blocks away. NICE JOB ON GPS LOCATION in the app. Conversely...a few updates would make this top tier.

1. I wish when you clicked camera you didn’t have to reverse the view.

2. To upload you have to take a screenshot then manually upload it to social media. It’s unfortunate that there’s no social media link.

3. It cut off my city location below the current weather icon when posting the screenshot.

4. Wish you could change the text color, as the text is white and we have snow on the roofs/grounds.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback, it's really helpful. I will definitely consider your points when working on future updates
