User reviews

The best

I use this app since I am a wildlife photographer and spend most everyday outside. I track at least four different locations and when one has bad weather, I know to go elsewhere.

Long time app lover

I have used this app for at least 20 years and through many phones. This app has consistently been my only weather app. If I had an issue, I would contact them and they responded immediately. Throughout its use, I can remember contacting them twice. Very reliable!

Good and bad

The future forecasts are pulled from commercial sources, so they’re usually accurate.

Sometimes “live” current weather reports are incorrect because they are professional stations dozens of miles from home. I cannot get local weather stations set up by the community; the app won’t include them.

The app layout is useful. The app uses more data than it should, but it’s still less than other weather apps. But if you’re getting the app just for the widget, it will always be wrong.

WeatherBug is great!

Great app! Easy to use and an amazing source of weather info! I use it every day.

Radar stopped working

This has been my go-to weather app for years. Suddenly the radar stopped working. I tried deleting then reinstalling the app, but it still does not work all. My non-elite version of WeatherBug still has a functional radar, but not the elite version. Time to find a new weather app.
