### 4/5 — NEED WIDGETS

*2026-09-03, version 6.21*

I like your accuracy but I need a widget for the lockscreen and/or Today View.

### 3/5 — No few points on graphs

*2026-08-28, version 6.21*

Not being able to view dew points on the graph is annoying. Desktop version and even mobile website version has it, but not the app.  Lame.

### 3/5 — Good forecasts

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

Still no dewpoint in the app. Why do I have to go to the web to get this?

### 4/5 — Forecast Missing Dew Point

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

My only complaint is that the 7 day forecast shows “feels like” and humidity but living in MN, I’m more interested in knowing the dew point for the week

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing and closing on me.

*2026-08-16, version 6.21*

Keeps crashing and closing on me for a couple weeks now. And why no widget yet?

### 2/5 — App missing info

*2026-08-15, version 6.21*

Why does the mobile site still have a better interface and more info than the app? ADD DEW POINT TO THE APP.

### 2/5 — just not accurate

*2026-08-15, version 6.21*

usually off by 10° or more. maybe it’s bc of hharp. but you cannot count on it, that’s for sure

### 2/5 — Radar

*2026-08-12, version 6.21*

Radar is accurate but incredibly slow and jerky. Other apps are quicker and smooth. Forecasts are seldom accurate until just hours before an event. Long range forecasts are worthless.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-12, version 6.21*

Forecasts are wildly inaccurate and app freezes up constantly. Completely useless.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2026-08-11, version 6.21*

Used to have Forecast on maps…gone. Now it only shows what you already experienced….????? Also used to show barometric pressure… also gone. Less is not more.

### 4/5 — Forecasts Consistently Low

*2026-08-08, version 6.21*

This summer the App’s forecasted weather is consistently 5-10 degrees below actual tempeture. At the moment it’s 12 degrees below the real feel temp. The high was scheduled to be 89. It’s currently 92 with a real feel of 103 at ~68% humidity. My car temps have been 5 degrees above WU’s temps.

### 3/5 — Running behind!

*2026-08-07, version 6.21*

App is behind by 30-45 minutes!

### 2/5 — You are not accurate

*2026-08-07, version 6.21*

You are not accurate with the weather forecast please be accurate with the forecast so that we can get the most accurate weather possible

### 4/5 — My arthritis is more accurate!

*2026-08-07, version 6.21*

Your sunny skies forecast? It rained for half an hour. Didn’t even show it on the radar. What a joke. Used to be the best Weather app. So sad. The huge lack of accuracy is why I quit the paid version during the lockdown. SMH

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App crashes a lot

*2026-09-04, version 6.21*

Not sure what’s happening but this app has started crashing quite frequently. Happens randomly while scrolling through the 7 day forecast or toggling between the Home Screen and map.

### 1/5 — Forecast literally change from hour to hour

*2026-09-04, version 6.21*

This app is useless. The forecast will show rain at 4 PM, 4 PM will arrive and no rain, then it will say it's going to rain at 5 PM, 5 PM arrives, no rain. And on and on and on. It is impossible to plan out your day or your week based on this app's prediction of the weather. Often it will also show that it's raining when it is not at all

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-09-03, version 6.21*

This app regularly provides inaccurate weather reports and radar for my area. For instance, when it has rained the past couple days the app said “cloudy” for my location and the “Wundermap” was also inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Still Constantly Crashing

*2026-08-27, version 6.21*

The iPadOS app still consistently crashes after viewing the weather map or extended forecast windows and then closing it. This has been going on for years after multiple reinstalls and updates of both iOS, iPadOS and the app. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-27, version 6.21*

Over the last year this app has become completely inaccurate. Obviously this app is using an AI model to run its predictions and has gone from one of the best to one of the worst. Two day predictions used to be very accurate but now it changes hour to hour. Delete.

### 1/5 — A Mislabeled Random Number Generator

*2026-08-21, version 6.21*

I cannot tell you the number of times that their precipitation estimates have been off by a FACTOR OF 10! Not days in the future. No, that would be an excusable occasional error. Just hours away, and they are so ridiculously wrong. I would hope that people get fired over things like that, but they seem to get promoted.

They just changed my rain forecast for the next few hours from 2.70 inches to 0.01 inches. Nice to have a 270X error range. This app would be better as a random number generator.

### 1/5 — Autoplay video ads are annoying

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

Decent weather app but the incessant autoplay video ads are so annoying as to make it unusable.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

This app can’t predict the weather 30 minutes in the future. At noon 100%rain chance 1.6 inches . At 4:00pm 30%chance .05 inches,at 5: 00pm 100%chance .6 inches. No rain fell at all , how do you make plans with junk like this? NWS said 30% all day long and were correct.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-08-19, version 6.21*

With the last update to Tahoe 26.1.2, a blank screen comes up when I try to run the app and I have to use “force quit” to get the screen back.

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-08-17, version 6.21*

not only they take your money But..ads COVER  the screen ..luck to see a sliver of weather  . shameful

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — My favorite!

*2026-08-31, version 6.21*

My go-to for weather, anywhere in the world.  I’ve used it for years.

### 5/5 — Excellent weather app

*2026-08-23, version 6.21*

The layout and feel of this app are way better than the TWC app even though they are run by the same company. I like the fact that there is no future radar that in the TWC app is actually forced upon you before seeing the past radar. I find the future radars are largely gimmicky and look almost cartoonish. The 10 day forecast is very nice how you can see exactly when  during the days the highest chance of precipitation is forecasted at a glance on a linear graph. The advertisements while always present seem to be minimally invasive. Mostly this is all my personal preference of course, but if you’re searching for an alternative weather app I would give this one a try.

### 5/5 — My favorite Wx App

*2026-08-22, version 6.21*

I have been using this app since before the name change. As a former pilot I enjoy having the level of weather detail and knowledge at my fingertips.

### 5/5 — Gerry

*2026-08-20, version 6.21*

I’ve had this app for ages. It’s precise, and accuracy is important in weather, especially today as global warming is turning our world off its axis. Terrific app!

### 5/5 — Vacation

*2026-08-16, version 6.21*

I’ve been all over the US and several countries in Europe, what a great way to start my day knowing exactly what the weather will bring.

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect Weather App

*2026-08-13, version 6.21*

I love WU. It seems to be the most accurate weather forecast for my area, and the layout and design of the app is great. My only minor gripe is the lack of Home Screen widgets.

### 5/5 — It’s awesome!

*2026-08-06, version 6.21*

Reliable, accurate and no bs.

### 5/5 — Accurate Weather, Great App

*2026-07-28, version 6.21*

Love this app as a better way to get the weather.  Got tired of the Apple weather app inaccuracy.  Ads are annoying, but I went premium and it’s worth it.  Beautiful and sophisticated.

### 5/5 — Reliable and Accurate

*2026-07-28, version 6.21*

Never had an issue with the app
or the site in general. Love the weather radar in real time and has always been on point with predicted weather in the coming days.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-06-28, version 6.21*

I have no idea what people are talking about when they say there are a lot of glitches. It’s extremely accurate and has never been wrong for me. It’s also very easy to hook up your weather station to and it helps weather be more accurate.
