### 2/5 — Endless loop and no info

*2024-10-18*

It worked well for a while but now whenever I open the app all I get is an endless loop and the app doesn’t open at all. Just taking up space on my iPhone.

### 2/5 — Would be a awesome app if it worked

*2024-10-05*

This app looks really cool and I think it would be helpful to me but it is still stuck on the loading screen. Any updates on getting the server bug fixed?

### 2/5 — Location loading bug still ongoing

*2024-09-20, version 4.2.1*

I used to love this app now it’s stuck on loading location :( It looks like this bug has been a problem since at least April and is currently being worked on. I hope this gets resolved soon as I can’t use the app at all now!

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2024-04-10*

I have updated to current OS.  Tried all fixes suggested.  Rebooted iPhone, turned WiFi off and then back on, etc.  No luck.  I paid for a subscription, so I’m not happy.

**Developer response:** Hello ldpresto, We just found out a bug on servers that causes loading issues on some iPhones. Currently, we are working hard to fix it asap. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, PB Studios

### 1/5 — No Such Thing as Ad Free

*2023-01-19*

I paid for the yearly subscription that was supposed to be “ad-free.”  However, I constantly get an ad to upgrade to higher level of weather service when I open the app.  I contacted the business via email and got no resolution to my complaint, except the typical generic auto response, “Thanks for contacting us…”. Nothing was done to resolve my issue!

### 1/5 — Missing DarkSky

*2023-01-07, version 3.6.1*

I hate you incorporation of DarkSky to a paid app. The rain forecast graph was better and more accurate in DarkSky.

### 1/5 — App is Horrible

*2023-01-04*

Taking away Dark Sky and replacing it with this App is a Joke! Dark Sky was so much better! If ur going to buy out the App then replace it w a better one. Not this one!

### 2/5 — No Radar

*2022-12-16*

Although this app has a “radar” button at the bottom what it really is is just a series of map overlays using gradient shading to differentiate conditions. More or less worthless. If you want real-time radar look elsewhere.

**Developer response:** Hello jskamelia, 

Sorry for the bad experience you had, thanks a lot for your comments. We want to clarify your questions so that your experience with the product might change and it can help you aware of the weather ahead.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-09-13*

This may be one of the worst weather apps. The user interface is far inferior to Dark Sky or Accuweather. The retrieval of critical weather information is low and obscured by unnecessary fluff that cannot be overcome through the subscription plan.  Other free apps are far more efficient and offer additional data that you have to subscribe to on this app. Too bad Dark Sky is going away.

### 1/5 — Too much $$$ didn’t work

*2025-08-28*

I downloaded the app to my IPhone 16 pro max it never opened or worked.  I have zero idea about how it works and frankly with a glitch to get it operational $60 a year or $70 for lifetime just seems to be outrageous.  I was hoping it would be worth it but it was an epic fail.  Fix the operating systems first maybe then I’ll try it again but come on now. Selling flawed technology at that price.  Give us a break.

### 1/5 — Straight Garbage

*2025-01-14*

App never gets past the loading screen!  $60 down the drain!  Don’t waste your time like I did!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-11-22*

Fortunately I went for the three day trial & was able to cancel before I was charged.
The app never gets past the loading phase…
It just doesn’t load period.  I looked through the other reviews and apparently it’s been like this since April (it’s late November now).  It doesn’t even deserve a star, but you have to give it at least one star to post a review. They should remove it from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Paid $60 for a Loading Screen

*2024-10-03*

My friend has this app and loves it so I decided to go ahead and just get the subscription right off the bat. Huge mistake! The only thing I’ve done in this app so far is pay $60 and then watch a loading screen endlessly. An issue they said they had resolved if you look at reviews. Apple declined my refund twice and the support button on the App Store screen does not work!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-01*

Garbage app!  Just downloaded and after 15 minutes never updated with my forecast, so I was never able to use the app.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-07-31, version 4.2.1*

I want my money back. App won’t load and support button doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Ashcanbub1

*2024-06-19*

The app does not work. When you open the app the screen displays the words loading live weather information.  No weather information will load.

**Developer response:** Hello ASHCANBUB1, 

We just found out a bug on servers that causes loading issues on some iPhones. Currently, we are working hard to fix it asap. Thank you for your understanding. 

Best regards,

PB Studios

### 1/5 — Didn’t load🙃 I’ll edit when fixed

*2024-05-17*

At least the regular apple weather loads but this is an eternal loading live weather information I’m on iPhone 15 pro max btw

### 5/5 — Sure thing! 🌤

*2023-08-28*

Switched from the Apple weather app after a few rainy surprises. Found this one, and it's been great. Easy to use and accurate forecasts. Now I'm always ready for the day's weather. Hope to see more updates. Great job! 👌🏼

### 5/5 — Lot’s more than The Weather Channel.

*2023-03-01*

This Application Covers a whole lot more than The Weather Channel.

### 5/5 — The Weather app of Apple!

*2023-02-23*

Very easy to use, and you don’t see numbers everywhere. You see the weather forecasts clearly, and they are quite accurate!👌🏻 What I like most is the summary of today; it just makes sense a lot:) Notifications are well-prepared, making me wanna open the app and plan my days accordingly. So far, I have loved it a lot, and it's free. 😅

### 5/5 — accurate forecasts

*2022-10-09, version 3.3.0*

very neat and useful 👌🏼

### 5/5 — Best free weather so far

*2022-05-06*

The app itself is really great. It gives you a lot of details in such a packed form so you don’t get to search where is where. I really used the hour details to plan my day and it made a huge difference. Weather report thing is the game changer part. I don’t know how did you find the idea but this is far most useful weather app I have ever used. Excited about how this app is going to evolve, believe me I am going to share it to my friends too

### 5/5 — VHS

*2022-03-26, version 1.0.0*

Avby

### 5/5 — this is the best! thanks for the accuracy!🥰

*2022-03-16*

i planned my holiday by looking at this app. it was showing rains for the week that I was planning to go, so I just postponed for the next week. thanks god i listened this app, otherwise my whole holiday was going to be ruined. i want to give at leasttt 10 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Quite accurate weather forecasts👌🏻

*2022-03-05*

Normally I was using the regular apple weather app, but forecasts began to become irrelevant with the real weather. I was looking at before going out of my home so that I was wearing my clothes and making my plans accordingly, but after catching rain with my shirt couple of times I realized that i need to find out a new app. I came across this one and I was amazed with the ease of use. But most importantly the accuracy of forecasts are perfect so far. I am using it daily and I can say that this will be my daily weather app for quite a while. I am looking forward for new features:)

### 4/5 — Review

*2022-04-16*

I like this really much a lot of details. What I don’t like is that I have to buy the future information. That’s the worst part. Besides that I like it.

### 3/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

*2023-08-24, version 4.1.0*

IDK WHY IT HAD TO COST SO MUCH MONEY FOR PREMIUM, PLEASE GIVE IT LESS MONEY, MY MOM DOSEN’T EVEN HAVE 60 DOLLARS!!!!
