Lately, when we need private information the most, the service has fallen off badly. ### 3/5 — Loved the app before it crashed *2025-07-25, version 2.1183.0127* Every time I open the app it crashes. In order to use it I have to uninstall then reinstall every time otherwise it keeps crashing. :/ ### 3/5 — New update crashes on iOS 18.5 *2025-07-01, version 2.1150.2020* Crashes on startup, running on iPhone SE ### 4/5 — App needs an update *2025-06-29, version 2.1150.2020* I love the space city weather team, but the app does need an update as it keeps crashing. ### 2/5 — love the news, but can't get the app to stop crashing *2025-06-26, version 2.1150.2020* the SCW team has always been great, but the app just does not work. whether loading it from a notification, or directly, the app gets to the main screen , waits a moment or two, then crashes. been like this for quite a while now ### 2/5 — Push Notifications *2024-12-05, version 2.0.245* Never work ### 3/5 — My favorite weather app but… *2024-01-30, version 2.0.233* I love using this app and I love the reports done on the weather. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I update the app or my phone, the app shuts down as soon as I tap the most recent story. Just have to stick to the webpage ### 4/5 — Home page glitch *2023-11-17, version 2.0.223* Front home page is stuck on weather on Aug 4 ### 4/5 — Ghost of Summer Past *2023-10-27, version 2.0.214* I had to delete the app and reinstall to get rid of the forecast still showing highs of 104° and 105° in late October, but the articles are the main value. ### 3/5 — Great info, buggy app *2023-10-10, version 2.0.214* While the daily posts in the app are great, I have the same issues with the app as others. My weather is stuck on August 4 and if I click on the push notification to open app it crashes. If those 2 things could ever get fixed this would be a 10 star app. ### 4/5 — App needs work. *2023-10-10, version 2.0.214* I read the commentary every day and it is the best forecast in Houston. The rest of the app has some broken links regarding date and daily forecasts . Right now the temp is 72 and the says 82 in one place sunrise at midnight. Then forecastsTuesday at 103 degrees when t He discussion says 80 s. ### 4/5 — Update? *2023-09-26, version 2.0.214* I love this app but for some reason the date is stuck on August 4th and no matter how many times I refresh the app it does not change. ### 2/5 — More buggy after the update *2023-09-01, version 2.0.203* First let me say that I love Space City Weather. They are a no-hype no sugar coat source of weather information and their blog posts are full of detail on what to expect and why. But this app is just disappointing. It’s is now 9/1/23 but the app keeps giving me the weather report for 8/8/23. It’s been like that since 8/8 no matter how many times I close and reopen the app which I’ve done many times. I did install the update when they recently put that out for download. I’m thinking maybe I need to uninstall and then maybe try again. I tried to reach out to the developer but have t heard anything back - maybe I didn’t get to the right person, I don’t know. ### 4/5 — Radar glitch *2023-08-28, version 2.0.203* The app was working fine until the update a few weeks ago. Now the radar won’t load. As for the weather predictions, those are good, but need to fix the glitch. I have two cell phones and tried it on there. Same issue. Won’t load. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t see *2026-07-12, version 2.1339.1943* The icons are so tiny I can’t see what they are. So, I’m not sure if it’s rain or clouds, sun or lightening, etc. all I can read are the numbers for the temp. This app is only good for the reports he puts out, otherwise it’s useless! ### 1/5 — Push notifications are off yet I still get them *2026-03-27, version 2.1339.1943* I tried to turn off push notifications for the early morning blog posts, but it turns itself back on so I tried to turn off all push notifications and still got push notifications today ### 1/5 — Full of bugs *2025-11-18, version 2.1246.1205* The content is great, if the app loads properly and lets you read it. Which is a big IF. Constantly crashes, or won’t load updated posts. I often get notifications that a new post is out only to try and open the app which can’t load it. ### 1/5 — Ads as weather notifications *2025-08-27, version 2.1226.1057* Using the app to advertise products and sending it as whether related notifications, very cheesy ### 1/5 — Won’t run *2025-07-07, version 2.1150.2020* Crashes every time I try to open it. ### 1/5 — Weather forecasting is sub par and the witty banter is annoying *2024-04-28, version 2.0.233* 2024 has not been good to these guys. They called late Feb as the last chance for 40’s - which proved wrong half a dozen times afterwards. Then they said the MS 150 weather would be mild and not windy. Then I have to sift thru their banter and opining on how terrible Houston weather is to get to an actual forecast. Guys, you are not Jimmy Fallon or James Colbert. Stick to just the weather and I’ll pay attention again. ### 1/5 — Review *2023-10-13, version 2.0.214* App keeps crashing for me for whatever reason ….. ### 1/5 — Updated app is a disaster for the radar map *2023-09-30, version 2.0.214* My app just updated yesterday and when I went to check the weather app for the radar view, it looks like they just dumped an entire container of ground pepper all over the map! Just an entire massive BLOB of fuzzy grey showing over the entire Houston area!! I am going to delete this app if it isn’t fixed by next week!! ### 1/5 — Love SCW, but this app is broken *2022-08-11, version 1.5.159* I love SCW and Eric and Matt, but the app refuses to update stories—I get notifications about recent things, but the most recent story is from early July 2022 (nearly a month back). Not sure what the issue is, and I’ll keep going to the main site, but this app is buggy as all get-out. ### 1/5 — Update broke the app *2022-07-26, version 1.5.153* Ever since I updated the app it crashes immediately upon opening it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful and well-written *2025-10-20, version 2.1246.1205* The app provides layman-friendly language, minimal advertising and clever writing. The information is very much at-a-glance for those who seek brevity. ### 5/5 — Only Weather *2025-08-12, version 2.1218.0936* My one reliable source! ### 5/5 — Goat *2025-01-15, version 2.0.245* bro is literally him he is giving it all he got💀 ### 5/5 — Best Houston-Based Weather App *2025-01-10, version 2.0.245* Eric, Matt, and Team give the accurate - zero dram and hype - weather news! Alway tells it like it is. My go-to Weather App. ### 5/5 — Best Houston weather *2024-07-11, version 2.0.241* Literally the best source of weather info out there for Houston ### 5/5 — Too many glitches (they’re fixed) *2024-07-08, version 2.0.241* In late 2023, the app was full of glitches and the expert advice was not downloading properly. Fast forward to now, and the glitches have been fixed! The weather info has always been amazing and now the app reaches its full potential. For the most accurate professional weather forecasting in SE Texas that informs you about possibilities and things without all the fear mongering and hype, this is your app! ### 5/5 — Must-Have App for Houston Residents *2023-08-12, version 2.0.201* The original version of the app focused primarily on the daily blog posts which by themselves made this app well-worthwhile, but there was still a need to reference other weather apps for daily / hour-by-hour forecasts. However the recent updates have added all of that functionality, cleared out any minor bugs, and have truly made this a comprehensive app for all things weather in the Houston. Highly recommend this app if you live in Houston. ### 5/5 — Correction and addition *2023-08-07, version 2.0.199* Please correct spelling of word humidity. Please add Cypress under city. Thank you, JGT ### 5/5 — Thank you for dark mode. *2023-08-04, version 2.0.193* This app is now 5 stars. Straight facts no filler is how I describe it to my friends. ### 5/5 — The app you want *2023-02-20, version 1.5.159* If you live in Houston this is THE weather source. For being outside or knowing what storm precautions to take, this will give you the information you need. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
