### 1/5 — Dublin centric

*2026-07-22*

Even with my location enabled the app only gives rain forecast map for Dublin.

### 2/5 — Very inaccurate

*2026-06-02*

I live in Co Donegal and the forecast is rarely accurate. I tend to use the BBC NI forecast which is much better. Also a map showing predicted weather over the next few hours would be good. All I can see is a map for whatever has already happened in last hour or two. What’s the point of that!

### 1/5 — No longer sends notifications regarding yellow/red warnings

*2026-03-01*

Over the last few weeks/months the app no longer sends yellow or red storm warning notifications like it used to.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-12-22*

Like a 90’s website and completely Dublin centric. A joke   Honestly, use bbc instead

### 1/5 — App Not Accesssible

*2025-08-18*

This app is not accessible to screen reader users. Why do developers not adhere to world wide web consortium and legal requirements

### 1/5 — Totally inaccurate: symbols and % are nonsense

*2025-08-18*

There’s no correspondence between the icons, symbols and percentage rain probabilities shown and the actual forecast. As I write, it’s pouring rain outside, the forecast text says it should be playing rain, the rain forecasts says it will be raining, but the symbols show grey skies and 0% probability of rain. Moronic.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-03-24*

Perfect for people in Ireland.

### 4/5 — Detailed and accurate but lacking features

*2023-12-27*

Would like to see personalization (Fahrenheit option, saved locations list, etc.),  updated design and functionality, a legend for the wind forecast map. Perhaps some use from the “latest satellite” which is just a 2D render of the island; not a satellite image.

### 5/5 — Met Éireann weather app keeps crashing.

*2023-09-05*

This is a great app and I love it but it keeps crashing on me.
Anthony Baker

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2019-09-18*

The last version crashed on me for some reason, but it was fixed right away when I mentioned it - thank you so much.  This is a fabulous and attractive weather app and is a credit to the developers.  I highly recommend it.
