Easier multi location options

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

Weather is inaccurate

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.

Broken again

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!

Good but breaking

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!

Outdated

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.

Privacy and clear information

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.

Disappointed

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.

Almost Great…

…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.

Send help

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.

Needs TLC

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

Needs updating

With the easiest display of data, it was the best weather app by far, but seems to have been left to die. Needs an update to fix the bugs.

Outdated

It's now over 2 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.

Most accurate weather app I’ve found

I live in a rural area, and the major weather apps report the weather from the closest city, which isn’t very close.

Snowflake is more hyper-local, I assume because it is based on DarkSky weather.

Works well with Apple Watch as a complication, though it helps to have a more modern iPhone than my previous XR.

Schade, das Potenzial wird nicht weiterentwickelt

Diese App hat eine schöne Oberfläche und bietet eine tolle Grundlage. Leider steht in der App-Beschreibung nicht, dass man nur Accuweather und Aeris auswählen kann als Wetterdatenanbieter. Auf Nachfrage wegen der identischen Wetterdaten bei verschiedenen Providern wurde mir das vom Support mitgeteilt. Es gibt also keine Daten mehr von The Weather Company (TWC), und Dark Sky gibt es schon lange nicht mehr. Hier haben mehrere andere Nutzer nach Meteogroup gefragt. Damit wäre ich auch sehr zufrieden. Diese App wird leider nicht mehr vernünftig gepflegt, denn Stand Oktober 2023 ist das letzte Update schon ein Jahr her. Insgesamt ist es schon eine Frechheit, dafür noch ein Abo zu verlangen.

crashes on startup maybe every 5th time

mostly fine, works well, seems to have a different source for weather data than Apple’s weather app. accurate enough for my needs. my problem is that about every fourth or fifth launch/relaunch, the app will lock up for ~45 seconds or so and then drop me back at the springboard like nothing happened. if i launch it again, it opens quickly and correctly.

been like this for a LONG time.

No Updates for Over a Year!

I’m a subscriber and have used this app since it’s initial release. The weather app market is very saturated. I used this weather app because I liked the simplicity of it, how I could keep my locations, etc. Anyway, this app is falling behind with no widgets, no updates, etc. I cannot recommend it anymore because it appears that the developer has stopped supporting it.

MANY other options out there that are IOS 16 friendly and allow for widgets, etc. Come on man! Update the darn app.

Do not work

I updated my IOS software and now app doesn’t work.

Used to be great Now cant correct

Crashes after error. Gtried both closing app and removing and reinstalling app. No luck

Works again!

Had a period of nonfunctionality but seems to be up again! Great weather app with a useful widget

Spinning wheel

wonderful app, very detailed information, but lately there is only a spinning wheel and blank screen, and the widget doesn't work either
