Abandoned?

Doesn’t work anymore.

Was a good app...sad really

You abandoned the app after we paid for it...classy 🙄

Abandoned

Look at the reviews. They, in the main, are years old. This app has been abandoned. If it works for you, great.

Developers no longer support

This app hasn’t been updated in 5 years, and as of 2023 no longer works on any of my apple devices. Leaving 1 star review with in hopes that anyone sorting by recent reviews will save time by not trying this app.

Bugs

App does not open. Errors messages “Unable to Display”. Deleted and reinstalled and still doesn’t work. Paying member for upgraded services and still app doesn’t work.

Stupid

Disgusting confusing stupid terrible - where’s my old weather app? How can I get it back. Omg. Will delete asap.

Everything I wanted... on the wrong screen

This is seriously the app I was looking for. Simple, detailed, perfect. Purchased the premium, set it all up, went looking to add the widget and realized it’s only for the Today screen. I was wanting a widget for my Home Screen that could be there around my icons all the time. Severely bummed.

Can’t Add Wiget to iPhone

Does not work. App doesn’t even show up on the Add Widget List. Useless.

Portrait only?

Really, portrait only? On an iPad?!? Deleted...

Doesn’t work

App doesn’t work, changed settings, no change on display

垃圾

6块钱买了之后还不能更新位置,还要在升级25元,垃圾千万别下

Get this, dump Weather Channel

Simple, quick, no unneeded videos. Loads in seconds unlike the bloated Weather Channel. Far superior!

Current location issue

Current location won’t update on the widget

Frustrating

Completely horrible forecasting. It’s never really right until about an hour before hand. Cool looking app. Completely unprofessional and unreliable data.

Sketchy

Doesn’t let you type in the city but instead forces you to allow it access to your location

Crash

Crash after I buy premium version, make me need to refund 😑

買了120元 結果一直閃退!! 請問是否應當緊急處理一下問題

爛透

The mOst inaccurate forecast app in App Store.

The mOst inaccurate forecast app in App Store.

Response from developer

The free version uses OpenWeatherMap; I have personally found it quite accurate, but other geographic locations may have better or worse forecasting. The Premium version of the app uses the paid Dark Sky forecasting service, which is consistently rated among the best weather forecasts available; we do have to charge for it, though, as they charge us based on the number of times any of our users’ widgets update.

Inaccurate

I purchased your widget several months ago. It is a great widget: nicely designed and easy to configure.

Unfortunately it is problematic in its only function. For example, last Saturday It forecasted rain for my home town through to the end of the following week.

However, AcuWeather showed a more sunny forecast as did the local Weather Service.

So I think you need to look into receiving your weather data from a more reliable source.

Additionally, the email listed on your website bounced my mails.

Response from developer

Apologies for not seeing this sooner! The email issue has been fixed. As for accuracy: Dark Sky (which our premium version uses) is consistently rated highly for accuracy. I would like to offer other options such as AccuWeather, as I know different services are better or worse in different locations; however the other highly-rated paid services are unaffordable for an app like ours with a small number of paid users (we’d have to have tens of thousands of users, or charge a lot more money than anyone would want to spend, in order to break even using AccuWeather, for example). I do know that Dark Sky is always working on improving their forecasting system, so the accuracy in your area may improve over time. If you’re not happy with it, though, accept my apologies and feel free to request a refund from Apple. Cheers, -BBB
