Still Doesn’t Work!!!!

I wrote a review about the alerts not working. I received a reply that I should uninstall and reinstall the app. Well-I did that and it worked for a few weeks and now it’s not sending alerts again. I’ll get an alert when I open the app-but only then. And yes-I have the location set to “Always” not “While using the app”. This used to be my favorite weather app. I would recommend it to everyone. Not anymore. :-(

Lost Me

And so now I have to listen to STUPID COMMERCIALS? Nope. I deleted after several years.

Auto-play Video Ads with Sound

I totally understand the need to make money in the free version of the app with ads, which has tons of it and I’m fine. But I hope it’s a big because today it started playing video ads with loud sounds. It can’t be muted and they are at the bottom of 10 scrolls.

Just deleted the app, loud ads assaulting me when I open it is a deal breaker

If you think you will keep customers over loud ads when the app is opened, I think you've got another thing coming. Unreal brazenness on your part. Literally ANY weather app is better than this. I've been testing out new ones and suddenly they all look excellent.

Best app

If you could just add some peripheral info about hurricanes forecasts!?

I Love it

Newest update has consistency issues

This app is still probably the best but has recently become buggy with a new release. My wife still has the old version on her phone and for the same app to have different weather projections for the same day for the same location is ridiculous. Devs need to reconcile this

W/Bug Rocks!

W/B is a great app!
Does what I need it to do and worth the yearly subscription price…

That said I’m hoping the developers will keep the app’s ability to switch back to the classic W/B when the new W/B beta app development is over… find the classic W/B much clearer and easier to read and… instinctively… I know where everything is and let’s face it… if it ain’t broke, please don’t fix it!!!

Former Favorite

This used to be my favorite weather app, but no more. For whatever reason, I’m not able to delete locations I no longer need. I get an error message. I contacted customer support and was told the only remedy is to remove the app and start over. Really? Do better, WeatherBug!

Gets worse and worse

This used to be such a good app. Now it’s really good at loading ads and collecting data behind the scenes, but the actual weather features either take forever or just never load.

Lagging Radar

I’ve had the WeatherBug app for decades. I got it initially because it had radar. But, it just seems their radar is 20-30 minutes behind actual conditions. It’s accurate just late. When storms approach, this timing becomes critically important.

Horrible

Inaccurate, slow to load radar

Going Downwind

This used to be a great app but it just does not work like it used to. For the last several months the radar mapping does not update quick enough. Plus they changed the maps a year ago to use some weird global format. They called it an upgrade but it wasn't.

Long time WeatherBug user

I love WeatherBug and would like to see native Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Having live radar, current conditions, and severe weather alerts available directly on the vehicle display would make WeatherBug my primary weather app for driving.

It’s a pretty good weather app!

4.5

Future radar

The future radar does not work past the current time

Lightning tracker is the best

Love the lightning tracker and most accurate for my area

Easy to Navigate

The features are easy and straightforward to interpret. The lighting strikes are close to real time. I have tried other weather apps and keep going back to Weather Bug. Again, I like the easy layout.

Great Weather App

I like this app, it’s easy to use and understand. Forecasts seem very accurate. The only reason for 4 stars (instead of 5) is that every once in a long while the forecast within the same app will show considerable differences between the hourly and daily forecasts but this is rare.
