It shows last night’s low temp instead of tonight’s low temp on the watch. What good does last nights low temp do me? ### 2/5 — Not working on Apple Watch 10 *2025-05-29, version 1.21* Hi I have your app on iPhone and iPad but the complication won't work on my Apple Watch 10. I installed it on the watch but when I click locations it just tries to load but then crashes. There's also no data where the complication is. I use the infograph watch face. How do I fix this? ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-05-24, version 1.21* The app good😁👍 but my widget doesn’t work😭 ### 5/5 — Weather without clutter *2025-02-18, version 1.14* This is the best weather app I’ve used. I can quickly access the data I need without having advertisements distracting along the perimeters of the screen. There is so much data! Wind, rain, snow, weather stations nearby, alerts…this app has it all. ### 5/5 — Improvement *2025-01-12, version 1.13* I would like for it to send a notification when bad weather approaches your location. ### 2/5 — Need help *2025-01-06, version 1.12* Can’t reach the developer to ask how to change zones. Ok to defaulted to GA and I live in IN ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-01-03, version 1.12* Not your average weather app, it’s so much more. Lots of great features and they keep adding more. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-12-29, version 1.12* I’m getting the data I need. Simple as that. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-12-08, version 1.11* Great imagery, very responsive developer. ### 3/5 — Cannot get forecast for my area *2024-12-06, version 1.10* The app keeps giving me a location that I don’t understand ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-11-23, version 1.7.13* Helps me prepare for my day. ### 5/5 — Snow forecasts are the reason!! *2024-11-05, version 1.7.13* Snow forecasts are the reason and hazardous weather and weather advisories are the reason I downloaded this app! Very very helpful in the Rocky Mountain states!! ### 5/5 — Great presentation *2024-08-28, version 1.7.13* Very good presentation, good data. Easy to navigated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could this app be any worse? *2026-07-22, version 1.26* Worst weather app I’ve ever seen ### 1/5 — Goofed up my phone *2026-01-22, version 1.24* This app caused my location services to no longer function. ### 1/5 — App needs updating *2025-12-10, version 1.23* My Future cast for HRRR 18 hours 11/29/25 And GFS 16 hours 12/03/25 are out of date. please get the east coast up to date. I love the app I pay yearly on it. When it’s updated I’ll re edit this. ### 1/5 — Very expensive *2025-05-06, version 1.21* The prices are completely unreasonable ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-07-18, version 1.7.13* After taking the trouble to install the thing, you find that the app provides absolutely zero weather information, unless you pay the developer’s extortion. The free version you think you’re downloading does not exist. Furthermore the “no tracking information collected” statement refers only to the nonexistent free app. After you pay your money and get the pro app, the developer will take virtually all of the information off of your iPhone, look you up on all the social media and and steal all the information they can gather there, and trade this information with data aggregators, before selling the sum total to advertisers and anyone else with the money. ### 1/5 — Show costs *2024-01-07, version 1.7.2* Can’t even get a multi-day forecast without paying. ### 1/5 — No trial period *2023-12-11, version 1.6.10* Don’t get to see what premium features you are asked to pay for look like before paying. Needs a trial period. Also, pricey for what this does, which is regurgitate the NWS forecasts with little alteration. ### 1/5 — I have to pay for almost everything *2023-08-06, version 1.6.10* I just wanna see the hourly forecast why should I have to have premium when I can just go on to the National weather service website ### 1/5 — Pay pigs *2023-03-09, version 1.6.8* You really don’t get any useful information unless you subscribe. Pay up or everything you want to know will just result in a pop up telling you to pay them money. We’ve gone full circle, it’s now easier and more efficient to just turn on weather channel again. ### 1/5 — Awkward and Confusing *2023-02-20, version 1.6.6* No matter how hard I tried, I cannot find a way to specify a city forecast. Apparently, there is no search feature for a location or city. Maybe it’s there but, I sure can’t find it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Relevant *2026-06-24, version 1.25* Great app ### 5/5 — Great weather app. *2026-03-15, version 1.24* This is by far the most trusted weather app I use every day. ### 5/5 — My go-to weather app *2026-01-27, version 1.24* Simple format, straight-to-the-point, and the free version is ad-free! If the NWS is up, this app is up - but easier to see what's in store. Been using it for quite a while and am sticking with it. ### 5/5 — Very informative *2026-01-26, version 1.24* My son told me that this was his go-to weather website. Now it’s mine. ### 5/5 — NOAA Still is Best *2026-01-25, version 1.24* The Forecast Discussion is still the best source of forecast information around. ### 5/5 — Clear, concise, and reliable *2026-01-01, version 1.23* I use a lot of the “free” weather apps to track snowy weather. The format of this one suits me best for short term and I find it quite accurate in the overall scheme of things. ### 5/5 — Best Weather App *2025-08-20, version 1.22* This is my favorite weather app by far. The app makes it so easy to get weather forecasts for very specific locations. This is particularly useful for people that like to hunt, fish, hike, bike, boat, etc in the great outdoors. Weather and its ramifications can be quite different over just a few miles due to elevation changes or other physical features. This app is the best for figuring out the different weather at the bottom of the valley vs the top of the ridge. I have tried to use the NWS point forecast tool. It is very very difficult on a mobile device. This app makes getting those point forecasts super simple. Just a really easy to use well designed stable and reliable but super powerful weather app. The best! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-07-13, version 1.21* Great app! To the point with what you need to know. ### 5/5 — Updated: works again-Totally broken *2025-05-23, version 1.21* After an OS update yesterday, the app is back to normal, works great again! I’ve happily used this app for years on a 2d gen IPad Pro, but recent update has made it unusable. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-04-06, version 1.19* Just what you need to know! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
