## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trackers Galore

*2025-08-03*

This used 55% of my battery in 6 hours. Just like their website it is full of trackers to get money from advertisers. Don’t get this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-02-18*

This is such a poor app.  I can see a daily and weekly forecast but good luck getting a synopsis of the day and coming days of the week.  Apparently the weather folks cease writing summaries of the day and week to come.  A graph showing rain or snow does little if I don’t know the extent of the weather.  How many inches of rain or snow? What can locals expect for a given day or week.  If you just want a graph showing icons of rain/sun/snow etc have at it. However if you are looking for details to a forecast look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Worst Update Ever!

*2022-12-07*

The new layout is totally unreadable. I hate it. It’s useless now.  Uninstalling.

### 1/5 — What did you do???

*2022-07-12*

Just looked at the new weather app
I give it a zero out of ten
Used to be able to quickly and easily look at the forecast for the day or week.
Now you have to wade through a combinations of ads unneeded and unwanted “information” simply to get close to a forecast - bring back the simple, informative and ad free app.

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2020-09-18*

Glitchy. Cannot do much without enabling location services. Other free weather apps I use are simpler to use and more accurate.

### 2/5 — New app is not as good!

*2017-12-24*

Both the interface and information are anything but an improvement.

### 5/5 — Keeps me up to date with the weather

*2017-07-24*

Bob Shaw doesn't lie when it comes to weather. I use this app to let me know how my work day is going to be.
