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.

Love this app

This app is very helpful when scheduling outdoor or travel time.

Alerts not working anymore

App was excellent now it’s useless. Alerts not working

Can’t Delete Locations

Still can’t delete any saved locations. It’s say’s “Cannot Delete You must have one saved location”.

Accurate Forecasts

WeatherBug is consistently more accurate compared to National weather services and local TV or newspapers. One reason is it is predicting for my specific area, not a broad area.

Other areas covered

I can also keep track of Son’s ab grandkids’ weather issues in Detroit area along with my local weather here in Edison NJ - not to mention most/all relatives’ (PA, etc.) weather. It’s GREAT!!

Go To App

I have had multiple apps for weather, but this one is my Go To App. It always seems to be the most accurate and is easy to navigate and is usually spot on.

This is the one to get!

I’ve had this app for years. Give me everything I need, nothing I don’t.
Get it you won’t be disappointed.

Good and bad

The widget consistently displays the wrong temperature.
The future forecasts are pulled from commercial sources, so they’re usually accurate. Sometimes “live” current weather reports are incorrect because they are classroom observations on a hot roof or in a closet, but most observations are accurate. 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.

Lagged data!

I’ve had this for about a decade. At least. And lately there is a significant delay in the radar and lightning. This is the main reason to have this app. When outdoors hiking, it’s imperative that the lightning and radar are in real time (or very close). There is at least a 10 min delay on the app now

Accurate

Excellent app. Accurate and useful information

Absolute Garbage

It’s ok if you want the current temperature but worthless for everything else. If you want to know if it’s raining, you’re better off looking out the window. There’s a long delay in the radar. I’m listening to a torrential downpour of rain hit my home. The gutters are overflowing it’s raining so hard. But according to the radar it’s not raining at my location at all. Do not depend on this app giving you accurate information. I’ve used this app for years. So disappointed in what it’s become.

My go to!

Honestly, I’ve downloaded most of the popular weather apps and have yet to find anything I like as much as Weather Bug. Whenever I see an update I’m hesitant as I’m hoping they don’t change the layout for the sake of anything other than necessity.

Best I’ve found for 8 years and running!

I’ve had this for 8ish years now. I’ve tried other weather apps, but I always come back to this one. It’s the best by far that I’ve found. You won’t regret buying this one

Great App

The most accurate of all the weather apps I have tried.

Not updated in 4 months

I love this app but it hasn’t been updated in a very long time.
