Met Éireann Weather Ireland User Reviews

Top reviews

Dublin centric

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

Very inaccurate

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!

No longer sends notifications regarding yellow/red warnings

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

Rubbish

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

App Not Accesssible

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

Totally inaccurate: symbols and % are nonsense

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.

Amazing app

Perfect for people in Ireland.

Detailed and accurate but lacking features

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.

Met Éireann weather app keeps crashing.

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

Excellent App

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.

Ok ish

Lots of “data” but I much preferred the older app. Why? Because it had a nice simple visual layout with instant graphics of cloud / rain / sun / wind viewing. Simple is key. Too much emphasis is now thrown on re inventing the wheel.

Good for where you are

This app is handy for the weather where you are. But I haven’t figured out how to check the weather in some other part of the country. Has a look-up feature and a recent locations feature, but they don’t do anything.

Crashes on iPhone 5c

New version of App crashes immediately when starting

Excellent

Fast and efficient. I love the new design

Doesn’t work on an iPhone

Slow, unusable, doesn’t work.

Crashes upon opening

Probably just a minor issue.

Slow and buggy

Not impressed. There are better 3rd party ones such as Weatherunderground

Not great

Won't let me select a region or county, although I can't seem to find any of the six counties on it. There mustn't be any weather there - get your act together lads!!!!

Mediocre

Firstly, I have to agree with other reviews, want happened to the six counties???

For the Met Éireann, this is a very poor app, and requires a lot of updating and modernising. I trust this will happen, my only concern is when

Partitionist Crap

Does Met Éireann think nobody lives north of the border? Regardless of Met Éireann's politics, there remains 32 counties in Ireland. I don't think the wind and the rain recognise such treaties and sellouts...
