V2 great looking forward to V3
Sometimes you miss out on great improvements. The inclusion of over 11,000 odd hills with Met Office derived data with a high quality layout brings this V2 app into becoming an essential app for many more outdoor users. Perhaps the Met Office could take this idea on board and make it nationally available on their website. Looking forward to V3. Congrats on a first class product!

Useless for planning trips unless you subscribe
In the free version you only get the current day’s forecast. If you want to plan ahead you’re better off using the UK MWIS website.
The best App for mountaineers
This is the one App I am using at the moment for planning my trips into the Scottish Highlands. The reason is that it is simply so much better than all the rest. It’s easy to use, the displays are uncluttered and give you all the information you want. The best feature is that it can give you all the relevant information for different altitudes in an instant. Very useful when you’re at the bottom of a 300m snow gully wondering what it’s going to be like at the top!

Good ad-free app for UK mountain weather
Very useful app which now has the separate MWIS forecasts for all MWIS areas together with forecasting for additional mountain areas like the North Pennines and Northumberland etc. not included in MWIS or Met Office. V2 has much improved graphics and is easy to use and presents a lot of information very clearly. Recommended.

A solid mountain weather app
This app has been keeping me safe on British mountains for years. Dedicated forecasts for major summits and links to MWIS and SAIS, for me, make this the most useful and easiest to use and interpret forecasting apps there is. The new design is also great.
Essential
I’ve used this app since it launched and it has been my go to resource for planning trips to the hills. It hadn’t been updated in years but apart from a couple of minor niggles it still worked fine and I didn’t expect any changes. It was a pleasant surprise, therefore, when I saw the version 2 update. At the same time, it caused some trepidation. A number of updates in recent years have pretty much ruined some of my favourite apps (BBC News, Met Office). I needn’t have worried. V2 of MWUK is an all too rare example of an update that improves on everything that made the original so great. The refreshed look is clean and stylish. Most importantly, the redesigned summit forecast displays everything you need to see, so you can take it all in at a glance without having to scroll and scroll (Met Office take note). Swiping left lets you see an hourly breakdown and a great new feature allows you to tap on any hour to see forecasts for different altitudes. All in all, a great app made even better. If you’re a hillwalker or mountaineer, this is essential.

Excellent App
I use to use V1 and thought it was very good an d an useful too. I was involved in testing V2 and used it in earnest two weeks ago whilst up in the Cairngorms. Really pleased with it and throughly recommended it.
Excellent
The best uk mountain weather app available anywhere
Not working correctly
Was great to begin with but no longer works properly hasn’t had and updates to fix the issues. Since this is a pay-for app I wouldn’t recommend just use the website for free
Good add-free app for UK mountain weather
Good app but still does not show the separate MWIS forecast for the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines.
The Dales and Peak District MWIS forecasts have been split for about a year now.

Perfect app
Hi all. Very useful application for me. Im a hike and fly pilot, flying paragliders and speedwings. App helps me planning safe and successful hike and fly trips providing a lot of useful information. Last decision to fly or not to fly is entirely up to me but with a tool like mvis app a chance of disappointment with a weather conditions at the summit is reduced to the reasonable level. Thank you.

Could be better
Pretty good app but would have been nice to have ranged below 2000m. Yes it’s a ‘mountain forecast’ app but I think most mountain walkers also walk up hills less than 2000m. What about an app for both?! Seems a bit daft not to really. Would give it 4/5 stars if lower ranges were included in an update.
(I notice that the Peak District, and I’m sure tiger areas, does include peaks less than 2000m. Please include these for Scotland!)

From strength to strength
This app continues to improve, and has recently added elevation to forecasts. Right now it’s easily the top weather app for outdoor and mountain enthusiasts in the UK. A no-brainer if you walk in the hills!
Fantastic
Great app really good reliable forecasting tool for those that like the mountains. After issues with the previous version of the app not connecting to wifi the team contacted me to say the issues had been fixed. The app has been faultless since I reinstalled it. So a big thumbs up to the app team for sorting it out and going the extra mile to contact me to say they had fixed the issues I had. Thank you.

A must have...
I am grateful to the developers for investing the time and effort to correct a few access problems I was experiencing (via wifi). The app now works perfectly and is a must have for anyone planning to spend time in the UK's upland areas.
Best app on my phone
I never write reviews but I had to make an exception for this app. No frills but does what it says on the tin. 10 out of 10.
Perfect
This is the app UK hill walkers have been waiting for. Brings many sources of info together in one easy to use app. Worth every penny.
Excellent app
Essential app for anyone heading uphill in the winter, or at any time.
Great, clean and simple, informative, easy to use, full of good advice but not overly geeky.
Perhaps, it would be also good to show coordinates of the summits and, ideally, a link to an online map (plenty of free ones these days) especially for those hills which share names with others.
The links to eg SAIS (avalanche warnings) are very handy.
