### 2/5 — No longer accurate

*2023-12-01*

This app had been pretty good for a while but for several months now accuracy of both current local conditions and forecasting has been consistently poor. Back to Weather Underground…

### 3/5 — Drop down location

*2022-11-26, version 5.9.1*

Since updating to iOS 16 I can no longer change location using the drop down menu. Hard to plan out of town activities.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-08-14, version 5.9.1*

This app gave all the relevant information I needed but after a few tasteless ads appeared within the app itself I couldn’t keep it.

### 4/5 — Weather

*2021-05-29, version 5.8.0*

Is Avery simple app and accurate.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-02-18, version 5.2.1*

The Weather Network is easy to use and read.

### 3/5 — Hi

*2020-02-15, version 5.2.1*

I think the coverage is good but needs to be laid out easily for us old viewers ,just my opinion !

### 5/5 — Best weather App

*2020-02-06, version 5.2.1*

I was a devout Weather Channel app user since I got my first Ipad. Then they changed the entire format to new and improved and it was awful and inaccurate. I have been searching forever for a replacement app and just found it. This app is by far the best weather app out there. I am thrilled to have daily accurate forecasts with this app. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Weather Underground refugee

*2020-01-04, version 5.2.1*

Weather underground changed their format over the holidays and removed one of the most useful bits of information, that being the predicted amount of precipitation Brit snow or rain. So I went back to the App Store and found the Weather Network. It has the predicted precipitation amounts and is presented in a useful format. (However it’s a real pain to have to think of a unique nickname to post a review)

### 5/5 — One of the BEST!

*2019-11-28, version 5.2.0*

Gives me all the info I need, out to a reasonable forecast range. Nice to see barometric pressure in addition to temp and wind speed. Very accurate

### 3/5 — Can’t organize cities

*2019-07-08, version 5.1.2*

Your can’t organize the cities on the iPad like you can on the iPhone.

### 3/5 — Paying for ad removal doesn’t remove the ads

*2019-03-24, version 5.1.2*

I love this this app.  I think it’s one of the mods comprehensive weather apps out there.  However, after paying a yearly subscription for a “no ads” version ads still appear.

### 1/5 — Boo to the latest update

*2023-07-19*

Been using this app for years..last update caused the radar to open in a browser and it’s chuggy and completely useless now..unfortunately I’ll have to find something else :( fix the radar and put it back in the app please!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2022-07-30, version 5.9.1*

Gross disgusting misleading ads pollute the page

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-04-10, version 5.8.1*

Doesn’t even know you’re not at same place, even though you’ve traveled lots of different places, and even when you add place you’re at now it still just gives weather at place it had. 
Worst app and weather ever.

### 1/5 — No radar

*2020-11-22, version 5.5.0*

No radar for my area on the Big Island. I’m out.

### 1/5 — Not a great start

*2020-11-06, version 5.5.0*

Just downloaded the app for my iPad, opened it and already far too many intrusive and distracting ads. Then after batting them away, “technical difficulties, try again later.”
Sorry guys, but either the app is for the purpose of informing the user about the weather or its to advertise crap. But either way, it has to at least work.

### 1/5 — Location tracking terrible

*2020-10-12, version 5.4.0*

Does not track location

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2020-04-17, version 5.3.1*

It

### 1/5 — Totally worthless

*2020-04-17, version 5.3.1*

Should be a “0”. Have found this app to be consistently wrong, many times by about20 degrees.  Today the cake. First a Post Freeze warning. Oh it froze last night, no pre-warning.  Today we have a constant 46 degrees for the foreseeable future. Guess that's climate change.

### 1/5 — Where are you?

*2019-03-21, version 5.1.2*

Not available

### 1/5 — Not nearly as good as the predecessor

*2018-11-23, version 5.1.0*

Can’t edit cities...only option is to delete or add new ones. 
Loads very slow...lots of ads. No option to delete ads even for a small cost that would or should speed up loading. 
The APP for the smartphone seems to be quite better.  Who ever redesigned this APP fir the iPad failed in several ways to make it better...it’s not better.

### 5/5 — Best Weather App

*2020-03-17, version 5.3.0*

This is the best weather app out there and I’ve tried them all. Love it because it is so easy to use and I love the way it is laid out. First thing I do every morning and last thing I do every night.  This is just the best, period.
