Login page broken accross platforms

Login page is broken accross platforms from Firefox, Edge, Andoid and Ios. No way to change password on Ios, logged in. Terrible coding.

Accurate

This is the most accurate forecast app I have found! Great job guys keep it up and always keep it free!

Used to be much better

We always relied on Weather underground when we were farming to have the most accurate forecast and temperatures. But over the last couple of years I feel like the information is not accurate at all. For example, this morning I woke up and it said it was 31° out and now it is 34° out, but the forecast and listings say that the low today is 36°. I am also constantly having issues with my home station and the app, remembering my favorites.

Over priced subscription model

For a paid subscription the radar map should give you options to view up to at least 4 hours of future data. App is also missing Pollen data. Doesn’t support Apple Watch. So glad I’m not renewing my annual subscription.

5 star for most unreliable pos on the App Store

45 low at night yet I have a deep freeze out there …plants are FD

Good app but freezes way too often.

Would be best weather app out there if it didn’t freeze all the time. Not sure why it’s so hard to get that fixed. Been that way for like a year or more. 🤨

It started to crash so I updated. Now it doesn’t open

Was my favorite weather app. Then it started getting crashy lately so I updated. Now it doesn’t even open. iPhone 17Pro

I had to move on.

Great for hyperlocal weather

Complaints in reviews from 6 years ago are exaggerated. The changes then were minor & the app retains its core advantage of using info from scads of private & public weather stations worldwide. Most weather apps give you conditions at the airport or some other single location, but Weather Underground gives you conditions right from your own neighbourhood. And if you buy your own personal weather station you can add it to WU & contribute your own local data.

Fantastic Weather App

It’s never let me down. Great predictions, emergency notifications, everything you could possibly want. Served me well for years. Radar has saved my day on numerous occasions. But I want to submit a 5++++ review for them standing on the side of history and what’s right. I like knowing when a hurricane is going to hit me from the Gulf of MEXICO. What it has been my entire life, has been for generations, and what everyone aside from a deranged Cheeto and his disciples know it as.

Barometric Pressure

Barometric pressure does not appear on app and apparently cannot be added (you can only see it if you go to their website) ! I attempted to use app support but no info there. Chatbot it is only available for support if you agree to your data being used throughout their vendor base. Google search claims it is included however the actual app; as well as the screen shots in the App Store, clearly show that it is not. You clearly have the data - why can’t we see it. I will be happy to update this review if someone can show me how to display barometric pressure on the app.

Great weather app, but

It is great, but I would like to have a widget! Are you guys coincide to add it?

Good, but

I really like this app save for one issue:
When you switch from one city to the next, if there is a weather alert tied to that location, that alert transfers to the next location. The only way I have found to refresh it is to close the app and reopen it?

Temperature

The temperature shown on Wunderground is way off. At this very moment my weather instruments show 55 degrees F and Wunderground shows 60 degrees F.

Love this app

Great app but there's a longstanding bug -- the wind direction chevron in the hourly forecast is wrong, and 180 degrees opposite of the chevrons in the wind speed and direction chart.

Upgraded / dated/days all wrong

Radar doesn’t work + crashes

I’ve used this app for years. Recently it’s become useless. Using other weather apps as a result.

It’s ok

I recently started using this app, as it’s supposed to be one of the more accurate ones for my area. So far, so good. The interface is cluttered, but the readings appear to be accurate. However, I find the animated radar useless. It apparently doesn’t forecast. I’d kinda like to know the expected track of thunderstorms that potentially contain hail and tornadoes. May have to move on to another app.

Crashes regularly

This use to be my absolute favorite weather app, but over the 6-12 months, it has started crashing all the time. I use to have a really old iphone and i thought it may just be an issue with that, but i recently got an iphone 17 and it still crashes most times i use it.

Storm Cones

My go to weather App! Favorite feature are the directional storm cones that track. Love it!

EDIT: WHY ARE THE VERY USEFUL STORM TRACKS GONE?!!! In Kerrville, TX the topography changes the directional cones and they help monitor tornadoes! PLEASE RESTORE THAT FEATURE. Polo is on its way.

IOS Mobile app is great overall.

Overall the app for IOS is good. I wrote earlier that it was not updating properly on the IOS. That is not true. It had to do with my device settings of absolute versus relative. Calculations must be done to for instance barometric pressure. After making the switch to relative everything is in order. Taking the time to do calibration on your unit, is highly advised. My 2500$ unit was not completely accurate until calibration. I calibrated the Vevor 7-in-1 over the course of a day. The 100$ Vevor unit is performing within a very close margin of the expensive model. Keep up the good work. It’s an impressive system you have at Weather Underground.
