Why? Jailbreak checks from within an app can inherently not work anyway ### 3/5 — You cant see couple of hours upfront *2023-08-17, version 3.1.19* It would be great app you it would show couple of hrs upfront so you can see if storm is coming to you or not ### 4/5 — Shutting down on iOS 16.5 *2023-06-07, version 3.1.16* My go-to for weather tracking, but it won’t open with latest iOS 16.5 update. ### 2/5 — Hit and miss *2023-06-06, version 3.1.16* Not reliable data ### 3/5 — Could be better *2022-12-18* App can be glitchy and unstable ### 4/5 — Sticky Notifications *2021-09-27, version 3.0.7* Great app but notifications keep coming back after I close them - gets annoying after a while. Would be great if they could disappear permanently after being seen and closed the first time. ### 2/5 — Map *2021-09-19, version 3.0.7* Please make it possible to see more of the map on screen and less of the forecast information. Also it is annoying to have the Google Map logo behind the play button as I often end up being redirected to Google Maps. ### 1/5 — Genuinely a step backwards *2021-07-19, version 3.0.4* This app is badly designed; the UX is mediocre, the functionality limited and you are deluged in data but struggle to determine relevant information. Hard to use and just an example of the “throw everything in the bucket and see what happens” school of design. The old weather@SG app was significantly better and there is now a space in my app bar for a decent Singapore focused weather application - because this isn’t one. ### 1/5 — The most confusing weather app ever *2021-07-13, version 3.0.4* Whoever designed and decided to replace this to the old version, please try to think in users’ perspective… ### 1/5 — App has lost its focus; More is not better *2021-07-13, version 3.0.4* This app tries to be fancy by including all NEA concerns in one app. It is no longer just a weather app. As such there is a lot of clutter that users are not interested in eg why would we use this app to find the nearest hawker Center? Why would we also use it for zika and dengue info? Do we want that type of info on a daily or hourly basis? NEA- pls take all your very poor ratings seriously and do something about it. Move away from being NEA centric and pay heed to what your customers are saying. Putting all weather issues in one clear page is a start! Hope to see some changes soon. ### 1/5 — Reduced Functionality *2021-07-07, version 3.0.4* The previous app allowed 2 hours of weather timeline for local and many hours of timeline in the regional view. Both now only provide 1 hour in this app. These are important capabilities. The screen also doesn’t have a refresh capability, often requiring the app to be closed and reopened to refresh. There is also no “provide feedback” capability, instead just providing links to the various governmental authorities. ### 1/5 — Replaced a great app with a horrible app for weather *2021-07-04, version 3.0.4* Seems like one of those cases where they made changes without talking to people who actually use the app. We use the weather app for planning on outdoor activities and determining e..g when to change / end the activity. Current app is completely useless. For instance, 1. Can’t get rid of all the clutter so you can actually see the map. IDon’t need or want to see anything but the map and satellite image when I am trying to look at the map. On small phone, is truly useless. 2. Can’t do multiple overlays so you can see, e.g., lightning and storm movement together 3. Can’t see timing for storm movement / intervals 4. Period of satellite movement is too short to give accurate sense of storm development / direction. 4. Inability to get longer range pattern on longer time scale. Etc. ### 1/5 — Decision makers need to be held accountable *2021-06-30, version 3.0.3* 1) who decided to revamp something that worked well? 2) who made the decision to release an app that clearly is much worse than the previous version? Singapore has been plagued by IT solutions (remember the virtual reality app called Batik that rarely worked?) sponsored by the government that seem like no one beta tested them with actual users who possessed independence to speak critically. This is exactly what you would expect from a civil service that operates in an echo chamber. Moreover it creates a society that can even wrap their heads around true innovation let alone knows how to produce it. Please go back to the old version. Or please support the competing app from the weather service which recently stopped working but was pretty good. ### 1/5 — Old version (2.7.19) was much better *2021-05-24, version 3.0.2* Please bring back the previous version -- the interface was much cleaner, and I could get all the info I was looking for quickly. v3 is just a disorganized mess. ### 1/5 — Why would you update an app and make it worse? *2021-05-15, version 3.0.2* The new app is more fancy but the widgets are so big you can’t see the map anymore. They’ve also removed functionality like wind direction and wind speed. Why?! ### 1/5 — Ruined it *2021-05-13, version 3.0.2* Was so good. But upgrade has made screens cluttered. Especially rain radar. I just hate it. Please simplify again. Such a shame. Obviously no UAT process ### 3/5 — Upgraded but also downgraded *2021-05-09, version 3.0.2* The new UI is prettier but makes less information available. The need to apply a “filter” to see things like rain or PSI is also awkward and not really an improvement. It also has some bugs in the reporting function. There is no spell check or ability to auto populate the email address. Some fields (eg postal code) can’t even be typed in. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not running well *2024-10-14, version 3.1.30* Keeps hanging and asking me to select certain features like heat map. Satellite images not showing ### 1/5 — Data unreliable lately *2024-10-14, version 3.1.30* Data always temporary unavailable ### 1/5 — Non-responsive app *2024-10-06, version 3.1.30* After latest update the app has ceased to work ### 1/5 — Useless weather forecast app *2024-09-24, version 3.1.29* It’s not an weather forecast app. It only tells you what happened to the past! Useless! ### 1/5 — Poor GUI *2024-09-14, version 3.1.28* Tapping the icons do not work, the iPad app chiron obscures the map, the map frequently zooms to an unrelated location (like Africa) for no reason, every update seems to worsen the app, the list goes on… ENV should just invest a little in a quality app. No point spending so much on weather sensors and metrics when the end user interface doesn’t deliver. ### 1/5 — Where’s is UV Index ? *2023-06-02, version 3.1.16* Everybody knows El Niño is coming and suddenly the updated app make UV Index disappear. You make changes to the app and complicate matters with poor UI. Please add instructions on where relevant information can be found. ### 1/5 — App won’t work on IOS16.4 *2023-04-11, version 3.1.14* Can’t get this app to start since updating to 16.4. Tried uninstalling, rebooting, etc. Still not working after updating to 16.4.1 ### 1/5 — New layout is awful *2021-09-29, version 3.0.7* The new app layout is just too messy. Need to remember the golden KISS rule. ### 1/5 — Nagware *2021-09-25, version 3.0.7* Past week saying to upgrade to latest version due to iOS 15. I have been on the latest version. Should not be that har to do a version check and not show it if you are on the latest version. Also getting reminders on watch that version I am running, supports ends on 21 Sep, 2021! Agree with other reviewers that they have ruined this app when they “upgraded “ it… ### 1/5 — Where is all the info? *2021-07-31, version 3.0.5* As many have said, this app is such a huge step backwards that I am going to delete it and go to the website. For cyclists, the 2-hour nowcast by detailed locations is very important. That’s gone. Yes and too much clutter. What’s wrong with you people ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Me *2024-09-15, version 3.1.28* Szoobzali salah and everything in between ### 5/5 — nice app *2023-05-08* good for widget ### 5/5 — Nice redesign *2021-04-01, version 3.0.0* Good looking UI redesign. Appreciate the ability to choose which notifications are useful to me. Watch app would cool. ### 5/5 — Loving the app *2020-06-04, version 2.7.15* NEA provides a more accurate weather forecast than Google or The Weather Channel. This app makes accessing data much easier than the browser. Initially downloaded the app just to check the weather before my runs, but I was really impressed with the UX/UI and other features available on the app, including air quality levels, dengue control, location of public toilets/smoking area in each neighbourhood, and energy auditor (estimates electricity bills and helps choose cost saving appliances). This app definitely deserves more than a 3-star average, and Singaporeans should give it a try. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2020-02-28* It even contains information about HOW and WHAT to recycle. ### 5/5 — Useful *2016-05-26* I particularly like the map with recycling points, places for trading used articles, etc. It is not easy to find out where to take electronics in Singapore when no longer needed. This app helped me find it as a conscientious German expat wishing to do the right thing. :) ### 5/5 — Excellent and practical app *2015-10-17, version 2.4.2* I check this app regularly for constant updates on dengue and haze. Suggestions: it'll be great if app can give us a prediction of rain or haze in certain area at particular time to help us plan for our personal events. Example if I wanna go cycling at 4pm today, what is likely haze, rain, dengue situation in the area I wanna go. Just indicate chances. Good job anyway. Beautiful and easy to use interface. ### 5/5 — Very clear info about weather and haze *2014-10-18, version 2.0.2* So far the best weather forecast apps for Singapore. Small issue though, the alert setting are not saved. Minor bug that I hope will be fixed in next version. ### 5/5 — awesome *2014-09-25, version 2.0.2* beautiful UI and useful information. great for daily use. ### 5/5 — Bravo! *2014-09-04, version 2.0.1* It's a very beautiful and very functional app. Goes to show that even a government department can commission a great app. This should be the gold standard! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
