For some reason the widget has a big “NEW!” Banner across it. Almost every function is behind an unrealistic paywall **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback Wes, and I'm sorry the app isn't working like you hoped it would. The banner goes away once you hit "new" in the app once. It only shows up for people who've been using the old version of the app and updated. The update was now about a year ago so I'm happy to hear you're now on the latest version! The reason we had to make some features paid is to keep the app alive. High quality weather data is expensive, and before adding paid features, the bills had already reached more than $200. So between shutting the app down to not go bankrupt, adding ads, or offering new features for a premium, I felt like this was the only option going forward. I understand not everyone would've gone this route, and ads might've worked too, but I personally really dislike ads so here we are. The premium features do have a free trial that you can use to see if it's worth it for you! If it's not for you and you decide to uninstall this app, I understand. Thanks for giving it a try! — Nick ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-09-16* I wish I had the ability to display Celsius first before Fahrenheit, reverse order. The widget and app show Fahrenheit first, Celsius second and the lock screen high and low are Fahrenheit only. I wish I could have Celsius first, Fahrenheit second and the high and low in Celsius. If this was implemented, the app would be perfect. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! It’s a great idea, in Version 2.2.3 you can now select the order of the two units in the theme settings! If you have further feature requests or questions please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I’m always looking to improve the app ### 3/5 — Great app. Widgets don’t work *2025-09-15* I love being able to quickly check the difference between f and c now that I’ve moved from the UK to USA. However, the widgets don’t work for me. I just end up with coloured square on my iPhone with no weather information at all. It’s really disappointing as I’d love that feature. Presumably it has something to do with the fact my apps have an iPhone filter on them so they’re all the same hue on my screen, but I’m not willing to change them for this app. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! After lots of testing on different devices and operating systems, I found a rare issue in iOS 18 for users with a tinted Home Screen. This issue was just resolved in Version 2.2.3. Please try updating to that version, the issue should be gone! If you have further feature requests or questions please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I’m always looking to improve the app ### 5/5 — Fahrenheit = Freedom *2025-09-12* Endlich kann ich auf meiner Ranch mitreden wenn die Cowboys die Klimaanlage umstellen ### 5/5 — No more temperature unit confusion! *2025-09-12* The widget is so easy and intuitive to use! I can now finally make sense of what temperature it is when my weird European friends say something like "Oh it's a nippy 9 C today, Ill have to slip into my trusty tweed jacket, tally ho! (9 C is around 48 degrees in freedom units, putting it solidly into hoodie weather. Unfortunately the widget was unable to tell me what a tweed jacket is, still confused on that) ### 5/5 — Best Widget on the App Store *2025-08-11* Wow. This widget. I have no words. Fahrenheit - done! Celsius - done! Pow pow pow. This widget is cool as much as it is hot 🔥 ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-08-05, version 2.1* I love it ### 4/5 — Wish it updated more often *2025-07-23* This app is exactly what I wanted. I have its widget next to my more detailed weather app as a temp converter but it’s often showing the temp from hours ago. If it could update more often, it would be amazing. **Developer response:** Thanks for giving the app a try! With the update 2.2 from September 2025 you can now increase the update frequency from once every 3h to once every 15min. Give it a try and let us know if your issues is resolved! There's a contact button in the settings ✉️ ### 5/5 — Useful *2025-04-06* I really like the widget’s bold text, color scheme, and different color options! Shows the temp (in Celsius & Fahrenheit) of your current location OR the last place you were with your location services enabled At first it seemed like the widget would only work when my phone’s location services was on but luckily I was mistaken cause mine is usually off and it still works ### 5/5 — Super helpful widget!! *2025-04-06* Thanks for developing this super helpful app and widget! You rock!! ### 3/5 — Widget isn’t updating *2025-03-05* I’m having a similar experience as some previous reviews. The widget was great, I found it super helpful, and then last week it stopped updating and is just stuck showing weather from last week. Hope there’s a fix! **Developer response:** Thanks for giving the app a try! With the update 2.2 from September 2025 you can now increase the update frequency from once every 3h to once every 15min. Give it a try and let us know if your issues is resolved! There's a contact button in the settings ✉️ ### 5/5 — iPad iOS18 issue fixed *2024-12-27* Thank you so much for fixing the issue with the °F &°C from not showing on the widget (with iPads using iOS18). I'm from the U.S., now living the Philippines and really appreciate being able to see the conversion. Thank you!! 👍🏼 FYI: Even after your fix, I had to delete my widget and recreate it before it would work correctly. ### 5/5 — Reliable *2024-10-17, version 2.0* I’ve seen other reviews here saying the widget is unreliable. As the developers have commented back, any bugs seem to have been fixed (as of Fall 2024) and I’ve never had any trouble with this widget. When you click the widget on your Home Screen it brings you right to the Apple branded weather app. Very happy with it so far. ### 3/5 — Love it, but doesn't work with iOS iPad 18.0.1 *2024-10-08* Doesn't work with iOS iPad 18.0.1. I reinstalled the app, still doesn't work. Works great with iOS iPhone 18.0.1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid only? *2025-11-04* Recently the widget started showing up as blurred, and then the app itself shows a list of features and “$0.99/month” while the actual weather information is blurred out underneath. Super disappointing. **Developer response:** J, thank you so much for writing in! First I want to apologize for the late response here. App Store ratings are screened by Apple before they get published, so it takes me a few days to get back to feedback here. Usually the email contact in the app is the fastest way to reach out and get support. There are now additional paid features in the app, but the widget you used to have is still 100% free and available just as it was! If your widget is not loading, that's certainly a bug and I've dropped the ball here. I would love to be able to offer support over email, I'm positive we can get this fixed for you. We've been able to fix everyone's issues within 24 hours of writing in. Thank you for giving the app a try! ### 1/5 — Application not working *2025-10-31* Once installed, the application is not letting you open the settings menu and later it completely blocks itself and crashes unallowing the user even to go in the app itself and now no matters if you downloaded again, app is not openning. I paid the annual subscription and was expecting to receive more support. **Developer response:** Hey Oscar, Thanks so much for reaching out! Email support is usually much quicker than writing a review here because reviews only go live after about 48h of Apple screening them. It sounds like I definitely dropped the ball here, I don't think I understand the issues you're experiencing fully, but if you're able to provide some context over email I'll be happy to try my best and resolve these issues for you! Anytime someone's written in with any bugs we were able to resolve them within 24h and I'm positive we'll get you right back up and running! The email is unit-weather@spreen.co Thank you for giving the app a try, — Nick ### 1/5 — App crash *2025-10-21* This app just started crashing when I tried to open it ! **Developer response:** Adam, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I'm sorry that it took a while for me to respond. The Apple review system takes a few days to screen new messages, so I couldn't get to this immediately. Usually the fastest way to get support is through the contact button in the settings screen or via emailing unit-weather@spreen.co I did indeed see your crash in the dashboard and have just published a version that fixes this issue. Please give 2.2.6 a try and reach out if you have further issues. Apologies for dropping the ball and providing a subpar experience! — Nick ### 1/5 — Plötzlich kostenpflichtig *2025-09-13* Achtung! Diese Programm ersetzt das bisherige kostenlose Celsius-Fahrenheit-Umrechnungs-Programm und wirbt damit, jetzt für iOS 26 bereit zu sein. Die bisherigen Bewertungen sind gelöscht worden. Alleine diese Geschäftspraxis verdient die 1-Stern Bewertung. **Developer response:** Hallo Rolf_22, Danke für das Feedback! Alle Funktionen die bisher verfügbar waren sind weiterhin verfügbar und weiterhin kostenlos! Die neuen Funktionen dienen lediglich dazu den Betrieb der App zu finanzieren da ich mit >10,000 Nutzern mittlerweile mehr als 200 EUR für das Betreiben der App zahlen muss um die Wetter API zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die drei Optionen waren monatlich mehr und mehr Geld zu verlieren, die App für alle zu löschen, ODER neue Funktionen zu entwickeln für die einige Nutzer zahlen und damit den Betrieb der App zu finanzieren. Apple muss jedes Update manuell prüfen und diese Woche gab es eine lange Warteschlange wegen der neuen iOS Version. Mit "neu für iOS 26" kam man schneller dran! Falls du mehr lesen möchtest, (auf englisch) schau gern auf weather.spreen.co/update da steht mehr zu den Hintergründen dieses Updates. Schreib mir gern an yannick@spreens.de für weitere Fragen oder Feedback. Danke dass du (zumindest für eine Weile) die App genutzt hast! Als Indie-Entwickler ist's immer Schwierig die Balance aus Nutzen und Kosten zu finden. — Yannick ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-02, version 1.6* Downloaded 2 weeks ago. Still hasn’t worked. I restarted my phone and still nothing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-30, version 1.6* Thank you for this free app, but I can’t get it to work. All it shows is 57 and 14 which are not the temperatures in my location. ### 1/5 — Fail! *2024-05-19, version 1.6* Downloaded. 1. No instructions how to turn it on. It is stuck on 14 degrees. It is 23 degrees C outside… :-( 2. Doesn’t show in app list to be able to have it show on locked screen Deleting —- 5/19/24 ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2024-01-07* For the life of me I cannot figure out how to add the widget to either my Home Screen or my Lock Screen. The app doesn’t show up on the list of apps when I try to edit these screens. This app also does not show up in my list of apps to grant access to my location. This makes the app useless to me as I cannot see my actual temperatures - even within the app itself. It just shows 57 F 14° C - which is not the temperature of Michigan in January. I’m just glad this was free so I can delete it and find something that works. ### 2/5 — Currently unusable *2025-09-14* This WAS a neat little widget for checking the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius at once. The new look puts a big NEW banner over the temperature display in the app’s widget so that you can’t actually read the temperatures. That’s the entire function of the app, knocked out by a cosmetic downgrade. I guess you could upgrade to a paid tier to pick one of the new widget looks that’s actually usable, but why pay to restore basic utility? **Developer response:** srie3, Thanks so much for taking the time to write us feedback! The NEW badge disappears after pressing it once. It does take a max of 15min before the widget refreshes (unfortunately Apple doesn't allow manual widget updates) but clearly I didn't do a good job communicating that the badge isn't there forever. I've taken your feedback and made the badge much smaller in 2.2.2 There will be some additional improvements soon in 2.2.3 to hopefully make the badge even less intrusive! Unfortunately, 95% of users never open the app and only use the widget, so I've been trying to find a good balance of showcasing the new features and making existing users aware that there are new things in the app. But clearly, I didn't strike the right balance here and dropped the ball. I apologize for that! — Nick ### 2/5 — iOS iPad 18.0.1 problem *2024-10-21* The desktop widget icon does not work. Only shows a gray shaded nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for internationals! *2026-01-25* Most of my coworkers are Canadian and I love that I can now just look at my lock screen in order to see what the temp is in Celsius. I always had to do a manual conversion and this is just so much faster ! The widget is free and there’s now paid features that some of the reviews here have been frustrated with. the widget I’ve been using for years still works great and is still free! Paid features are optional, I get that app devs have to make money somehow. Good way to support if you can <3 ### 5/5 — App crash *2025-11-02* This app is still crashing when I try to open it ! **Developer response:** Adam, thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Apologies for dropping the ball and providing a subpar experience! — Nick ### 5/5 — Very useful for those who want to see temperatures in both F and C *2025-10-28* I recently shifted to the US and was new to F temperatures. This app solved my problem by simultaneously showing F and C temperatures. I also use its locked screen widget which is very useful widget to look at min-max and current temps at a glance. ### 5/5 — Used to work great, since the update it is stuck on some random location *2025-10-16* The concept of this widget was exactly what I wanted. However since the recent update it no longer shows the correct temperature, despite the location setting. It seems stuck on forever being 22c/72f. 😢 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for reporting this, I'd love to get this fixed for you! Please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I'm sure we can find a solution to get you back up and running! Thousands of users have updated without issue so there seems to be something peculiar happening on your device. Let's get it sorted :) ### 5/5 — useful Update *2025-09-22* just updated. I think there are a lot of new useful features in the paid plan and im still geting the same free functionality that i’ve been using for a year. thanks for making a useful app & maintaining the free user base! ### 5/5 — F und C Wetter *2025-09-16* Sehr hilfreich und leicht zu bedienen ### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch *2025-09-16* Eine überdurchschnittliche und hilfreiche App ### 5/5 — Good App & Very Good Suppprt *2025-09-15* Happy with the app & widget, and most happy with the support & follow-up regarding an issue I had. The response was timely and most helpful! Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Very useful update *2025-09-14* I'm an American married to a European. No more converting or guessing, I love it. The new optional dual unit forecasts are well worth the price (the free version is unchanged, so still great). Plus, excellent and fast support from the developer. ### 5/5 — Quick response and does what I need it to *2025-09-14* I recently had an issue where the light version of the app had been taken out. The dev was quick to respond to an email and added a light mode again! Highly recommend this app, I’ve used it close to 3 years and it works great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
