### 3/5 — Quite nice but…

*2026-07-30*

This app would be really great if your iOS medium-sized weather forecast widget would add the “always display in full color” switch to the configuration options of the widget. It would be even better if the same forecast was also available as a large widget.

It would be absolutely great, if the basic weather data from a selectable weather station was accessible to/using the iOS Shortcuts app.

Finally, why is there a semi circular white blob in the top right corner of the medium sized widget – what is the visual value of that?

### 2/5 — Très faible pour les alertes

*2026-07-30*

Sauf à aller lire les infos dans « Bulletin météorologique » pas le pictogramme visible en cas d’alerte vent violent par exemple.
Alors pour voir le temps qu’il fait à peu près c’est bien, mais plus c’est déjà beaucoup demandé.

### 5/5 — Best!

*2026-06-24*

The best weather app anyone could ever create!

### 1/5 — Dommage

*2026-06-18*

Pas de prévisions pour la région frontalière

### 3/5 — Et le vent ?

*2026-03-30*

Bonne appli avec des prévisions correctes, dommage que le vent  soit sous-estimé dans les prévisions de la semaine ! Du soleil sous une bise forte ça change tout !

### 5/5 — Côte français

*2026-02-05*

Super appli ,précise et efficace on peut voir les changements au fil des heures et le lendemain , ça couvre une grosse partie le la France et l’Italie,moi en tant que je suis un motard,je l’utilise pour mes sorties motos entre les pays frontaliers 
Mieux que la météo française avec son appli approximative

### 3/5 — Widgets kaputt

*2026-01-22, version 3.5.1*

Eigentlich eine sehr gute App, aber seit eine Weile sind die Widgets kaputt und sie zeigen keine Daten an.

### 2/5 — Why saving a location is so hard?

*2025-12-23*

Can’t we just have a button in the location card, like we had available in the older app? “Search - save - done”. But now it’s buried in the footer note / settings screen.

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2025-11-17*

Très fiable, claire et lisible, je sais que je peux compter sur MeteoSwiss lors de mes sorties en montagne!
Merci à toute l’équipe

### 1/5 — Völlig überladen

*2025-09-05, version 3.4.2*

Wetter ist nicht mehr so genau wie früher
