### 5/5 — Excellent weather data

*2026-08-25, version 3.59.0*

I always find the weather reports excellent and rarely wrong.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-25, version 3.59.0*

Fun to keep track of

### 4/5 — Weather

*2026-08-25, version 3.59.0*

Very good.

### 5/5 — Weather App

*2026-08-23, version 3.59.0*

I frequently use the weather app to see what the weather is going to be like where I’m fishing and it is helpful because it is nearly always accurate.

### 1/5 — Efficient

*2026-08-23, version 3.59.0*

The app is easy to use and seems very accurate.

### 5/5 — Only need this weather app

*2026-08-22, version 3.59.0*

As someone who has a business that is often dependent on the weather this app is vital!

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2026-08-22, version 3.59.0*

I use the Met Office app every day for the forecast. It has most of the info I want and is generally accurate. Can’t ask for more !!!

### 1/5 — Another downgrade

*2026-08-22, version 3.59.0*

Update Aug 2026: still no sign of “developers” (a loose term in this instance) actually listening to users. Still just as awkward to use. And another thing - in the old version you could go to your saved location, click on a future day, and be taken straight to that day in that location. In the new execration, you get taken to today’s date  in that location - rather disorienting if the future day’s symbol had been, say, rain, but there’s no sign of rain for today’s weather.

Original: Having finally been forced to change to the latest version, I’m glad I put it off as long as I could. This new one is terrible. Great big chunky icons taking up far too much space, so there’s less detail. Gusts are way down the page in a separate section that requires a separate set of scrolling. Warnings are hidden away, radar doesn’t work anywhere near as well. Why not leave things as they were instead of getting a work experience student in to come and wreck what was actually working?

### 5/5 — Interesting information

*2026-08-21, version 3.59.0*

I like the app. It gives interesting information with the right amount of explanation for me. Usually correct too. Very useful.

### 5/5 — Forecast

*2026-08-21, version 3.59.0*

Always so accurate
