Birth worthwhile as apple weather app is just wrong ### 4/5 — Not working *2025-06-23, version 12* No doubt it was a great app, but now this app is not working in IOS when i open the app it immediately crashes. ### 3/5 — Adding a place *2024-06-10, version 10.9* Unlike in “weather channel” by IBM, adding or deleting a city or a place in this APP is really difficult. ### 3/5 — Uninstalling it as it is full of ads. *2024-05-17* It is such a fantastic app and I fell in love with it. But I am uninstalling it as it is full of ads. Take a one time payment or introduce a subscription mode and stop the ads for Gods sake. Once that is done, I will install the app and use it ### 4/5 — Aayush245 *2023-11-13* Skymet weather application is a very good application but I am facing a problem in this application which is the feature of Skymet i, it does not answer our questions in detail. If possible, this problem should be fixed as soon as possible. ### 3/5 — Bugs need to be fixed *2023-07-22* Showing incorrect current location and home screen widget is blank. Will change the rating once these two major issues will be fixed. Thanks ### 4/5 — Very nice app but highly unstable *2023-07-11* First of all it’s a very nice for the country, but as soon as I open maps the software crashes. I get weather alert notifications but as soon as I try to click it opens Skymet app but nothing under notifications. All notifications are old of 2021 and nothing after that. I love this app but at times have to resort to other apps. ### 3/5 — Alerts not showing *2023-06-28, version 8.6.0* Alert and notification not showing in app. ### 3/5 — Application crashes when we satellite images->Meteosat *2023-06-05, version 8.6.0* Open application and navigate to more->satellite images->meteosat boom, it crashes all the time. Please fix it, it makes app unsable. ### 4/5 — Functionality *2023-02-16* This is a good App and very neat to look at. I liked it. But there is one very nagging problem. It does not show the actual weather and temp when it is opened. There is considerable delay. It shows a prior weather observation ### 4/5 — Problem *2022-08-07, version 8.5.0* Lightning is not visible in map fix the bug immediately ### 2/5 — It’s crashing while opening *2021-12-20, version 8.5.0* It’s crashing while opening ### 2/5 — Forecast *2021-09-02, version 8.5.0* Forecasts are not so accurate as compared to actual weather conditions ### 3/5 — 80% accurate weather predictions but wrong auto location detection *2021-07-07* The location detection in the map is shown accurate however the name of the area for it is completely wrong, so i manually enter the name of the area and them it seems to work fine! But even though the notifications are sent for both the incorrect and the correct location! This is irritating! Would have given it 5stars else. Interestingly the weather shown is not according to the map location detected but according to the name of the location popping up in the dashboard! There is no option to even set the location of desired choice to default and/or delete the other unnecessary one! Please fix this. Very frustrating! Mobile OS : ios 14.6 ### 2/5 — Widget doesn’t work *2021-05-16, version 7.4.0* After repeated attempts of all I can do at my end, I conclude that the widget doesn’t work in iOS 14+. Pity. ### 3/5 — Notification problem *2021-05-07* Opening a weather alert notification just open the app and nothing else. Even opening the Alerts and Notifications tab, I’m not able to see the message. Otherwise quite accurate information available on the app. **Developer response:** Sorry for inconvenience, we trying to fix this bug. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Satellite images have been broken since long and not fixed *2025-05-21, version 11.0* Inspite being largest weather app in India, bugs in the app are not resolved. ### 1/5 — Bug issue *2025-02-28, version 11.0* I love your service but since last week I’m facing issue , when i select on “Tap here to see details” then app just crashes and closes, please fix it super soon, if solved quickly i will provide 5 star for sure ### 1/5 — Screening by adds *2024-08-15, version 10.9* Too much adds for long time Don’t allow the map to show weather. ### 1/5 — Weather *2024-05-18, version 10.9* Accuracy is a problem ### 1/5 — Does not work for US *2023-08-07* I installed the app and enabled location services while using the app. I could not get the map to change from the Middle East, ie India. Could not even scroll to the US. Useless to me. Uninstalled the useless app. ### 1/5 — Poor Weather forecast *2023-06-29, version 8.6.0* There is accuracy of weather forecast by Skymet. You are just picking the data from govt site and uploading with better graphics ### 1/5 — App crashes many times *2023-06-15, version 8.6.0* App crashes when I move from one tab to another ### 1/5 — Cannot view past news. *2020-05-04* This app is just an extension of their equally terrible website. Extremely non-intuitive and non-responsive. Why can we not view more than 10 news articles? What if we want to read missed past articles? Where is Dark mode? I want to read English articles but it throws random language forecast article on my face. Then they get the forecast wrong. Looks like dumb people in charge of app development. ### 1/5 — App crashes and wrong location since last update *2019-06-09* App crashes everytime i type the location for which i want to see the weather and location service shows karolbagh which is also wrong. When i search my current location manually and click for detailed weather, the app crashes instantly. ### 1/5 — Awful map service *2018-05-09* Useless app. Map feature broken. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — As I open my location it’s get crash unable to view *2025-04-13* Unable to view my location forecast as I open I get crash.

App on watch not working. ### 5/5 — Needs improvement *2023-06-17* Very poor graphics. Where do I see the alerts? I only get notifications. Why in the 15 day forecast the minimum is not shown? ### 5/5 — Error and malfunction *2023-06-17, version 8.6.0* It gave me the same lighting amd rain alerts 72 times in a minut. Every time the same alert. And when ever it alerts me the weather didn’t act accordingly. And wheneve it doesn’t give alert it rains. It doesn’t give me alerts of my region but gives the same for far regions. Corrections should be done. ### 5/5 — Climet Weather *2022-09-10, version 8.5.0* Very useful information. 👍 ### 5/5 — Automatically close *2022-08-31* Some times it automatically close , without showing any message. ### 5/5 — Best notification weather app *2021-03-12, version 7.0.0* Widget colour app so cool . Very good notification service . Get almost accurate notification before rain . Thanks for creating such app . ### 5/5 — Up to date but Ui has some issues *2021-01-06* Weather information perfect UI has issues if I go to news and open news there is no way go back. ### 5/5 — Accurate predictions *2020-07-21* Of all the weather sites/apps that I refer, this gives the most accurate predictions for my area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
