### 4/5 — Easier multi location options

*2026-06-26, version 1.40*

Please add the ability to change between locations more easily. Having to go to settings to manually change to each individually is cumbersome

### 2/5 — Weather is inaccurate

*2026-01-28, version 1.40*

The weather is inaccurate. I use Willy Weather data in the app which is meant to pull from BOM and it is wrong by nine degrees. The app is telling me it be a high of 30 here in Melbourne, yet BOM is reporting on their site the temp will be a high of 26.

### 3/5 — Broken again

*2025-12-01, version 1.40*

This app was great for a long time but seems to have abandoned Canadian users within the last year - environment Canada weather sourcing is totally nonfunctional and requests to support have been ignored. Real pity!

### 3/5 — Good but breaking

*2025-11-04, version 1.40*

This excellent I have been using it for years for Australian forecasts with a nice UI. However there has been no update in 3 years and things are beginning to break. For example the location search no longer works!

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2025-05-19, version 1.40*

It's now over 4 years since an update. Missing many features that are now standard in iOS 16. I'm going to have to cancel and if the dev decides to update the app regularly then I'll consider subscribing again.

### 4/5 — Privacy and clear information

*2025-02-02, version 1.40*

Not sure why so many are complaining about widgets "not working" because I’m on 18.3 and stuff still works. As far as the watch is concerned, the lagginess is an Apple/watch problem/constraint. 
Faster access and/or visibility to locations would be appreciated, much like Pocket Weather’s summary list, which was great for quick overviews when planning travel or just weather nerd curiosity. Not sure why we’re so limited with locations or the clunky procedure for adding (and consequently losing) them.
Nice to have an iPadish app, but the extra blank space on detailed info which is really hard to line up already on the phone is more challenging on the pad.
IStat menus are fabulously detailed with a clean interface, but for some reason it doesn’t translate to iOS very well. Pocket Weather already solved the interface and I’d still be using it if I could.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-11-17, version 1.40*

Claimed it had very detailed weather, it’s just the basics. And you have the pay $5.99 a year for the customisation. And it doesn’t include last seven days. Like if I am feeling hot, I want to know what the weather was like today to figure out whether the apartment got heated up etc…

Also the interface is ugly. Very little customisation, just lists what options you want to show. I liked that I could set humidity as a top option next to temperature. But that’s all I liked. So I wasted a heap of money o. This.

### 4/5 — Almost Great…

*2024-10-23, version 1.40*

…But absolutely needs lockscreen widgets. I currently have the stock apple small circular widget showing the low/high for the day, as well as the current temperature. However the current temperature is different to Snowflake, and really jarring seeing 19c on the lockscreen and 18 on the homescreen. Subscribed for a year, but not sure I’ll last that long if it’s not included in an update.

### 2/5 — Send help

*2024-07-31, version 1.40*

The app has not been updated in quite some time and things are breaking. Send help.

Don’t pay for this app until the developer updates.

### 2/5 — Needs TLC

*2024-07-06, version 1.40*

Home Screen widgets no longer work. App itself looks lovely, but could use some attention.
