Not all tech stuff. Let them get somewhere else on app!!!!! Yours is the only one can figure out!! ### 2/5 — Tiempo *2026-05-03, version 5.12.030062919* Magnífico ### 2/5 — Bad interface *2025-06-30, version 5.12.030062919* Easy enough to enter my location, but could find no way to remove the default NYC location. Setting would be a good place for that. Or a check or radio button by the location. Or tap on the location to remove it. But no such control is visible. NYC has “favorites” under it. But there is no visible menu item or setting for favorites. I hate having to forage to find the way to make a most basic change. Uninstalled the app. ### 3/5 — Showing its age. *2025-02-12, version 5.12.030062919* I’m old, and parts of me are creaking and inoperative. This app is like me. Radar doesn’t show movement over time. Moon phases simply don’t load. What works is nice. I just wish it all would. Maybe it needs financial incentive to get back up to speed. ### 2/5 — Weather rain radar is poor. *2024-10-10, version 5.12.030062919* The time for this should be much longer. ### 3/5 — News *2024-09-30, version 5.12.030062919* I live in Brooklyn NY. I could care less about what is happening in Boston. ### 3/5 — I just want details of my local weather . *2024-09-24, version 5.12.030062919* Show more junk very little weather ### 2/5 — You can do better, a lot better *2024-06-13, version 5.05.200062749* I’ve tried using this on my iPad and not had a great deal of success, especially with the radar often not working. It shows that it’s loading data but it never (apparently) loads. I also don’t find the app particularly user-friendly. Maybe I’m expecting too much considering the fact that I am paying nothing. However, I believe there are better free weather apps out there. Once again, I find myself looking… ### 3/5 — Simple, easy to use,has some bugs. *2024-06-06, version 5.05.200062749* This app is simple, easy to use. It has ads, but so far they merely obscure the bottom of the screen. It has a single bug that irritates me. When I look at the forecasts it also displays a radar map and when I need to look at the radar map alone the right third of the screen is obscured by forecasts. Instead of one screen for both functions it should have two separate screens. ### 3/5 — Good but needs update *2024-03-25, version 5.03.200061518* I’ve been searching for a simple but informative weather app for years. I most look for a 7 day snapshot and I frequently use the radar. This app seems to fit the bill finally. But it needs a couple things to be 4 or 5 stars. Radar is usually overly complicated or buggy, so far I’ve been happy with this one. I still haven’t found one that auto plays. Why do I have to hit play? I just clicked on the radar icon, obviously I want it to play when it opens. When I open the app it says Forecast at the top and there’s a big picture that currently looks a little overcast. Is this supposed to change and match the current forecast? If so, it’s not even close. There’s currently a snow storm in my area. This would be a simple addition to get a simple weather scene to match the current weather forecast as other weather apps do. And lastly, add widgets! I’ve been using the iOS weather app and weather bug widget on my Lock Screen and home screen for years. I was disappointed to see you guys don’t have a widget option. ### 5/5 — Weather Reports Matter *2024-02-04, version 5.03.200061518* For some reason my weather in my iPhone was no longer accurate. I’m glad I found your site. Having accurate weather really matters! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best Weather App *2024-01-15, version 5.03.200061518* I like it because it definitely specifically caters to my area when I submit my zip code A+ ### 5/5 — So Easy and Quick to get a weather update! *2024-01-15, version 5.03.200061518* Very impressive ! Keep it just the same. Radar comes right up. Thank you ### 3/5 — Alerts *2024-01-08, version 5.03.200061518* Why am I receiving weather alerts for New York, NY. I’m in north Florida. ### 3/5 — It’s decent but needs upgrades *2024-01-08, version 5.03.200061518* Please make a Dark Mode. Please make a paid version with no advertisements. Please send notifications from the app - it literally sends NONE. These are all basic. Please upgrade your app to do these basic things and you’d have a 5-star app ### 5/5 — Right to the point service. *2023-12-17, version 5.03.200061518* I have a busy schedule. So I need to be able to check the weather report that is clear enough for me to get the point. I don’t need a lot of advertisements. Thank you for keeping it simple. I do not get distracted away from my schedule. ### 3/5 — Weather *2023-11-16, version 5.03.190061426* Ok now I like the app I’m in California and it’s been fairly accurate in the forecasts I’ll try it when I go back east again Maine will tell how good they are if you don’t like the weather there wait five minutes it will change LO ### 3/5 — Weather predictions *2023-10-25, version 5.03.180061233* Do better ### 5/5 — Works great easy to use! *2023-09-26, version 5.03.180061233* Only negative it sends warnings on cities u added but deleted ### 5/5 — Up to date *2023-09-16, version 5.03.100061121* Accurate ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location alerts *2023-09-11, version 5.03.100061121* Regardless of how many times I remove location NY. I get NY alerts for weather. I don’t live in NY. ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs *2023-06-25, version 4.35.720059174* Traffic doesn’t work. Moon Phase doesn’t work. Why can’t I have both Radar and Clouds on the weather map at the same time??? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work like it did *2023-06-24, version 4.35.720059174* Traffic is no longer working and the map portion no longer shows up taking a long time to load but never does now ### 1/5 — ☹️😔 App has quit working!! 06/07/2023 *2023-06-08, version 4.35.720059174* Hey people! What’s up with Local Weather Service App? It no longer works. Uninstall reinstall. It stuck on wanting to send notifications. That’s it nothing else happens ### 1/5 — Traffic stopped working *2023-06-06, version 4.35.720059174* I have been using this app for years. It has been my go to app for weather and traffic. The traffic part has stopped working. Very sad about this. I asked a friend who recommended this app if theirs was working and they also have the same problem. Would love to see this bug fixed and I’ll go back to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — App *2022-12-21, version 4.35.720059174* App won’t open! ### 1/5 — Review Local Weather App *2022-11-30, version 4.35.720059174* Hello People!! This App no longer works… As of October 2022. On its last up date. I have an IPhone 12. App been working. . Now it doesn’t, ok it wants to send notifications if you try tapping notification the app It locks up. Can’t do nothing with it. NEEDS TO BE SOFTWARE UPDATE MORE OFTEN!!!! Was a GREAT APP. Better than a lot of others. Please update to match Appointment IOS 16.1.1 Thank You ### 1/5 — Local Weather....Way off Target *2018-01-08* This app is not accurate no matter what I do. My location is way off.....and yes, this affects my forecast because I live in a snowbelt area and the app has me in an area I never visit....at least not since my in laws died. The first half hour it looked promising, but then kept getting worse. No matter what I do it shows me in another suburb or another state no matter what my preference and only location is. In problem solving the seller asks that a photo be taken of app under my settings on iPad Pro to debug. If there are known bugs, and obviously there are, this app will float up into the clouds and I will used my tried and true weather maps. They say you get for you paid for and no truer statement is there. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-02-11, version 4.3.0* Thought I was in minnisota when I'm in South America, no way of manually changing station. Then it wouldn't update info, came I with a 400 bad request on all pages. App should be removed from store. ### 1/5 — Wrong USA *2012-09-13, version 4.1.6* I am live in uk can't USA wrong sorry install you fix uk and need wide world pls ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this weather app *2026-07-09, version 5.12.030062919* Today however it won’t load.
