### 5/5 — J’aime bien IRM

*2026-02-04*

Je suis frontalier à Revin (France) je me cale sur la météo de Couvin et IRM est bien plus précis pour mon secteur que Météo France .

### 5/5 — Très fiable

*2025-08-08*

Merci pour cette application très fiable et très précise.

### 5/5 — Where is your forecasting ?

*2023-11-16*

It’s the official source data for this country, but the forecast animation over the map stops at the current time frame. Sometimes, the current time is the cutoff of the forecast, it’s nice to see how the clouds moved in the past, but how does it help the common folks to see the clouds would be changing in your “professional” insight on forecasting if it just stops right there? Maybe take a look at BuienRadar and learn a few tricks? 

But it’s still a good app, since it doesn’t ask crazy permissions to collect user data and sell it, so thumbs up for that. Let’s hope it stays that way.

### 2/5 — Widget en panne

*2023-10-31*

Widget ne marche pas depuis des mois !!!!

### 5/5 — Parfait pour la météo en Belgique

*2020-05-21*

Prévisions heure par heure, radar de pluie et pluie dans la prochaine heure, des prévisions commentées, notifications réglables et widget, tout ce que j’aime !

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci d'avoir pris le temps d'écrire cet avis. Nous sommes très heureux de lire que vous appréciez tant notre application météo IRM. Bonne journée !

### 2/5 — Not Customizable

*2019-07-19*

The app only has temperatures in Celsius, though I would prefer them in Fahrenheit. This seems like a fundamental oversight for a weather app. I have language set to English, but all of the descriptions and warnings are not in English.

I can’t speak to the accuracy of the app’s forecasts as the lack of these basic customizations precludes my use of it.

**Developer response:** Dear, thank you very much for your review. Since our app is only for use in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, our temperatures are shown in the official scale used in these countries. Sorry for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad

*2019-02-09*

Updated to latest version because last version was buggy and would not show forecasts.  latest version crashes on opening

### 3/5 — Nice app - but check widget

*2018-03-02*

Nice app, eventually something detailed covering Lux. 
However need to fix the widget as it doesn’t refresh: as of Feb 27 it still shows info last updated on Feb 25. 
It would also be great if the radar meteo covered / displayed a (much) wider area: the implied time notice of the current area can be far too short to be really useful, specifically for rain coming from W, S, SE.

(Update)
It is also somehow no longer possible to see the radar meteo, which was displayed the first times I used the app.

### 5/5 — Quel progrès !

*2015-03-07*

Excellente app, inspirée de l'app météo de Yahoo! mais avec les prévisions textuelles de l'Institut royal météorologique. Très belle évolution par rapport à la version 1. Fonctionne parfaitement sur iPhone 6 plus mais quitte inopinément sur 4S avec iOS 7. Vite une mise à jour pour la stabilité !

### 1/5 — Meteo

*2015-02-19*

Votre application ne fonctionne pas du tout sur iPhone 6
