Showing rain when it’s not raining or sun when it’s raining. Temperatures are also wrong. On top of that, since the update every single I open the app there is a super long video ad which can’t be skipped and it’s always the same ad. It ruins the app for me. I’m deleting it. **Developer response:** Cher Angi, nous vous remercions pour votre message. N'hésitez pas à nous communiquer par mail à : contact@lachainemeteo.com les erreurs de prévisions que vous constatez. Merci et belle journée ### 5/5 — Très bien *2024-08-05* Je suis sur cette application depuis très longtemps et toujours été satisfait d’où mes cinq étoiles, malgré par contre de gros bug de fluidité sur l’application depuis peu qui je pense seront réglés et il n’y a aucun rapport avec mon téléphone car j’ai le 14 Promax donc niveau fluidité, c’est censé aller. Sinon l’application est très cool. le système de pouvoir poster les photos de notre temps, je trouve ça franchement génial ! Egalement bien sûr de pouvoir voir celle des autres. les radars sont très précis surtout sur ce qui est du passé. Par contre les prévisions futures sur les radars sont un petit peu bizarre. en tout cas on sent qu’il y a une équipe derrière qui essaie constamment d’améliorer l’application. C’est pour cela que je me suis abonné plusieurs fois afin de contribuer à l’avancée de cette application. oui il y a quelques critiques mais ça mérite tout de même les cinq étoiles. Merci ! **Developer response:** Un immense merci à vous pour votre commentaire. Et oui vous l'aviez compris nous faisons tout notre possible pour répondre au mieux à nos utilisateurs 😉 Belle journée à vous 😘 ### 5/5 — Bonnes prévisions *2024-06-05* Les prévisions sont la plupart du temps exactes ### 5/5 — Prévisions assez fiables *2024-04-16* Merci pour vos prévisions surtout le live pluie et la possibilité de choisir plusieurs favoris ### 3/5 — Crazy temps *2024-04-08* They need to do something with the temperatures as they are all over the place!! ### 5/5 — C’est fameux *2024-04-06* J’aime bien leur style de prédiction ### 5/5 — Update comment *2024-03-20* Usually 5 stars, but the update changed my temperatures to F and I have no idea how to change it back to C. Why has this happened and how do I change it? Managed to change it easily in settings. Thanks for the advice. **Developer response:** Dear MB, To change the technical settings for your application, you need to go to the "My Account" tab and then "My Settings". Here you can change the language, temperature and even wind data. We look forward to hearing from you. Charline ### 5/5 — As good as it gets *2024-02-22* Weather forecasting is fickle even with a super computer, and different mathematical models muddy the water further. However, I use this App daily and it’s as good as it gets. The short term forecast is obviously more accurate than the longer views, and I especially like the “Live” option which lets you see where the rain is coming from and in which direction it’s heading. I’ve tried other Apps, but this for me is the most accurate and comprehensive. ### 5/5 — Very accurate wherever you are *2023-12-21* Yes it’s a French website but it’s our go to one for here in the Uk and indeed when travelling. Even in Chile! ### 5/5 — My go-to for weather *2023-12-20* The most reliable—and handy—weather forecaster I’ve ever used. **Developer response:** Thank you so much !! We are happy that you are pleased by our app ! 🌞 ## Frequently asked questions about Weather Crave ### What does Weather Crave do?
