### 3/5 — Update

*2025-11-23, version 1.4.13*

Please update this app Liquid Glass iOS 26 optimized

### 3/5 — Need improvements.

*2024-09-29, version 1.4.13*

Beautifully designed widget would be nice.

### 3/5 — Recently broke for many users

*2024-06-28, version 1.4.11*

Our 5 family devices now get a “There was an error getting the forecast” message. Checked with a few others and they’re getting it too.

### 3/5 — Was great now every time I go in…

*2024-06-21*

I get a message “There was an error getting the forecast.”
Tried going to app support but there security certificate expired so I don’t want to chance going to the site if there’s a security risk. 
I’ll update the review if they can make the app work consistently again.

### 4/5 — メインの天気アプリです

*2023-11-12*

湿度や雲の比率に風速など天候の要素を時系列に見やすいことで、自分にとっては一番のアプリてす。ひとつお願いがあるところは「晴れのち雨」「晴れ時々曇り」のような表記が叶えばさらに便利になります。現状では夜遅くに雨が少し降る予報でも「雨マーク」になっていて一見すると日中も雨かと思ってしまいますね。

### 3/5 — Any radar update?

*2023-01-22, version 1.4.6*

No longer showing radar.

### 2/5 — radar not working even for subscriber

*2023-01-13, version 1.4.6*

I wrote the developer about this but have not heard back.

### 4/5 — Immer noch die beste Wetter App

*2022-12-24*

Gefühlt alle Wetter Apps durchprobiert und keine kommt an die Übersichtlichkeit von Partly Sunny heran. Einzigste die raren Updates trüben den Gesamteindruck etwas. Ich hoffe die App wird aktualisiert bevor die Dark Sky API abgeschaltet wird. Eine Apple Watch App und Widgets würden sie komplettieren.

### 4/5 — The best!

*2022-11-03, version 1.4.6*

This app is the best. Most customizable as to what data to display, well organized and worth the few pennies charged. 2 taps and you can change data displayed. I tried 7 different apps from The Weather Channel to Weather to Weather Underground. Nothing comes close. Give it a try.

### 3/5 — Abandoned

*2021-02-12, version 1.4.5*

Now appears abandoned / a shame too as this was a well crafted app.

### 3/5 — Is this app dead???

*2020-12-06, version 1.4.5*

Love this weather app but it hasn’t been updated in a year.... is it dead?

### 3/5 — Updates

*2020-10-24, version 1.4.5*

Great app, but what am I paying for? 11mo with no updates! Even after a major OS release? Come on!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never Updated

*2024-10-01, version 1.4.13*

Joe, the developer, does not seem to care about this app anymore. No widgets, no dark mode icons, no meaningful improvement in years, etc. Also he doesn’t communicate with any of his users. It’s a real shame too since it’s a great app. Time to find a new weather app.

### 1/5 — No widget option for IOS 18

*2024-10-01, version 1.4.13*

I used to really enjoy this app. You cannot add this app as a widget anymore. I’ve reached out for support but haven’t received a response!

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2024-07-05, version 1.4.11*

Seems to be common problem with many. I used this app for years and loved it. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled but still won’t work.

### 1/5 — Feed still broken

*2024-07-04, version 1.4.11*

Is there a plan to fix this app?

### 1/5 — Weather feed is broken

*2024-07-02, version 1.4.11*

As others have mentioned this used to be the best weather app but now it shows “there was an error getting the forecast” for all locations. It’s been like this for well over a week with no updates from the dev. I guess it’s time to move on 😟.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2024-07-02, version 1.4.11*

Bought this a while back, and it used to be five stars. Now it doesn’t show the forecast at all, like other users report. And I miss it, too - hope it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Used to be great now never works

*2024-06-30, version 1.4.11*

So sad. Used to be my go to weather app.  For the past few weeks whenever I try to load it I get a message that says “Error getting the forecast”. I tried to go to the developers site for help but the security certificate lapsed and I keep getting a message “site not safe”.  I hope they fix it but the more time that goes by the less hopeful I am.

### 1/5 — Dead app?

*2024-06-29, version 1.4.11*

This app seems to be dead. It used to be one of the best weather apps in the App Store, but the dev has gotten lazier and lazier over time. It hasn’t been updated in more than a year, and even when he was updating it, no new features (like widgets for example) were being added. 

Now, as others have stated it only displays an error message when trying to view the weather. 

Time to move on. 

Good riddance Partly Sunny.

### 1/5 — No longer Updated

*2020-12-07, version 1.4.5*

Inexcusable for a subscription app

### 1/5 — Stop asking for reviews

*2018-01-03, version 1.3.1*

Great app but the constant asking for reviews earns you one star.

### 5/5 — Better than Apple Weather

*2024-12-10, version 1.4.13*

Easy to use interface with lots of customization options.

### 5/5 — Still My Favorite

*2024-08-30, version 1.4.13*

After all these years using and loving this weather app, I’m happy to say, it’s still my favorite!  I buy the in-app purchase more to support the developer than for the additional features, which is a serious endorsement because I’ve rarely ever done that.
Simple, clean, easy to read, with everything I want and nothing I don’t. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Extremely needs suiting!

*2024-07-06, version 1.4.13*

I’ve been a Partly Sunny user for years now, and while there’s been some quirky downtime (particularly around weather sources, if I recall correctly), Joe’s always been responsive via email/social media and gets an update up relatively quick.

Once “Check The Weather” stopped working, Partly Sunny’s been my go-to. It’s not something I use during severe (midwest) storms, but day-to-day it’s the only one I actually like looking at, the only one that’s not grating to use, and it doesn’t insult my intelligence.

(I *wish* this was a paid review, but I just like the app)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-04-26, version 1.4.11*

I love the Partly Sunny weather app. Some of the awesome features about this app include: The app is easy for me to navigate through it, I have all of my family's out of town weather on one screen, The day-by-day graph is handy as it plots the high and low temps for my work week, The pollen count is helpful for my allergy needs, Try it, you will find that it is the most accurate weather app around. You won't be disappointed. The radar that has been added is a welcomed addition to me, especially when I am traveling.
Continues to be my favorite weather app!

### 5/5 — New Widgets

*2023-05-10, version 1.4.11*

Please add IOS 14 widgets.

### 5/5 — favorite weather app

*2023-01-29, version 1.4.6*

I bought it initially because of the privacy policy, which is great, that said it’s a great weather app. Detail if I want it but easy to see a big picture. And I can add multiple locations which I mes for trace. 
Easy to use, good macro and micro, good privacy policy.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-12-12, version 1.4.6*

### 5/5 — AccuWeather

*2021-12-07, version 1.4.6*

Can AccuWeather be added as a data source?

### 5/5 — Without doubt this is the best weather app!

*2021-10-24*

And the widget is cool, too. Don’t want to miss the old widgets, but will the app support the new widgets in the future?

### 5/5 — 98 % accurate!

*2020-10-04, version 1.4.5*

Usually spot on with the weather predictions. Especially with the rain. 
Temperature also pretty much agrees with our outside temperature gauge.
I use it every day, mainly because I cycle to work. Never let me down.
