## What is Vague Weather (useful weather)?

Are you tired of traditional weather apps that promise precision but often deliver inaccurate forecasts? Introducing Vague, the (not scientifically proven) most accurate weather app to hit the app store.

### 1/5 — Blah

*2026-05-26*

I like the design and colors and it’s cool it shows if it’s going to be coldish etc. but it doesn’t say what the temp is anywhere. This is a weather app why doesn’t it say the temp lol

**Developer response:** Good point! In our defence, the app is called 'Vague Weather'.

Instead of telling you it's exactly 74°F, it tries to answer the question most people are really asking: "Is it cold?" or "Do I need an umbrella?". The whole app is built around turning weather data into human language rather than numbers.

If you're someone who likes knowing the exact temperature, Vague Weather may be a little too... vague.

Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-04*

Love using vague for the weather. It’s easier to make sense of as you’re about to run out the house for the day. I have the vague widget on my Lock Screen so can always get a quick glance at the weather. Use it above all other weather apps.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-11-10*

I always leave my house prepared now

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2024-02-13*

Used to love vague. Perfectly described weather in a word but it seems not to work now. Just a black screen when I try to open it. Shame

**Developer response:** An update has just been released which should fix your issue. Please update it and let us know! Hopefully you can continue to keep loving Vague.

Best weather app out there. Better than bbc one weather, better than bbc two weather, dare I say it even better than bbc three weather!!!!

### 5/5 — Best App I Have

*2023-03-20*

This app was not one I would ever think I need but now I have it I can’t ever imagine living without it. Vague is the right word for it, Ive never understood what 5 degrees meant but I definitely understand what refrigerated means and that’s my favourite thing about this app !! Once you download this app you’ll never have a need for another weather app !!

### 5/5 — woahwoahweewow
