It’s simply awful and less detailed and harder to see where strikes actually are. Why do you developers always have to change things for the sake of change. ### 4/5 — time *2026-08-23, version 6.6.0* it could be better if maps shows incoming storms by the hour by hour ### 2/5 — Percent rain *2026-08-23, version 6.6.0* Will show 80 percent chance of rain the you look at the hourly and it’s not above 20 percent each hour so where is the 80? What? Think your rain percentage is screwed. How does 20 percent equal 80 percentage? ### 4/5 — Radar *2026-08-23, version 6.6.0* Overall, this app is good; however, a big downfall is the fact that when you play the radar, it only plays to the current time instead of an hour or two from the time you’re playing it. Which is basically useless. I can see the current weather I don’t need radar to show me that where I am. ### 2/5 — What Happened WeatherBug? *2026-08-23, version 6.6.0* Man, this app really went to hades in a handbasket. Now it barely shows me any radar, or has any accuracy when it bothers to. I think I’m gonna dump it and find one that works. ### 3/5 — Not accurate *2026-08-23, version 6.6.0* Just not consistently accurate ### 2/5 — WeatherBug is Buggy! *2026-08-22, version 6.6.0* 1. Can’t delete saved locations. 2. Can’t send feedback inside the app. Tells me mail is not available? So posting here instead ### 3/5 — Mostly works *2026-08-22, version 6.6.0* There are a few major problems. Firstly, i can’t access the settings in app. Every time i try to open them, it says it can’t and tells me to try again later. Secondly, i have two locations saved. Upon trying to remove one to replace it with something closer to where i actually want it, i am hit with an error saying i have to have at least one location, which i would have after removing one of my two saved locations. ### 3/5 — Good info but... *2026-08-21, version 6.6.0* The information provided is good. Was given the option to try the new layout which i did but wasn't a fan of it and have been trying to switch it back. I push the toggle snd it closes, then i receive a notification that its switched back but when i open the app, its still the new version that i don't like ### 4/5 — Zoom out maps feature *2026-08-21, version 6.6.0* It would be nice if the second zoom out feature went between 50-100 miles instead of the current 400 miles. Please consider. Thanks ### 5/5 — Most Accurate in my area *2026-08-20, version 6.6.0* Old and bitter is now way to go through life, but im trying!!! Acccurate weather forecasts and an easy to finger out graphic user interface keeps me happy. This app keeps me a vintage informed and happy dude. Get your Bug on !!! ### 5/5 — Features *2026-08-20, version 6.6.0* Love the features. Easy to use. Spark. ### 3/5 — Good app but… *2026-08-20, version 6.6.0* Every time I open the app, it causes music to stop playing because of the ads. Sure, I could pay a fee to get rid of the ads, but I’m not gonna do that. So bye bye WeatherBug. I’ll just stick to Weather channel which doesn’t have that problem. ### 2/5 — 50/50 *2026-08-19, version 6.6.0* Works well with warnings but has a problem with loading the map in time it take ages no matter how bad or great my WiFi is ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great… now meh *2026-08-22, version 6.6.0* I’ve loved this app for years. But the constant bugs, crashes, and “Oops that isn’t working right now” is frustrating. ### 1/5 — Do NOT use this app! *2026-08-22, version 6.6.0* I’ve had WeatherBug since around 2010 and it has always been my go to app for weather and I have recommended this app to friends and family for about the same amount of time. I’m not sure what has been to this app within the last year or so but this app is just completely unusable in it’s current state. Every single time an update is available for this app, It does absolutely nothing but make this app 10x worse than it was before and brings in more issues after more issues. I went and purchased a very popular and professional weather app to ACTUALLY see what the weather is like. It’s honestly sad as silly as this sounds because I’ve used WeatherBug for so incredibly long. I would never recommend this app anymore and I suggest you delete it. This app is INACCURATE, SLOW, and extremely GLITCHY. Use another app. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-08-20, version 6.6.0* Won’t allow me to delete saved locations without error. ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2026-08-19, version 6.6.0* Frequently displays incorrect information. ### 1/5 — jerks *2026-08-16, version 6.6.0* they stopped fixing bugs and started charging a monthly fee. nice touch guys. I'm outta here. ### 1/5 — Overrides all music. *2026-08-16, version 6.6.0* the app's ad network is broken and forces background audio to stop every time the app launches. Music on my phone stops whenever I open this app. ### 1/5 — Soon to be removed from App Store *2026-08-16, version 6.6.0* I read the developer response. Be aware that the developer removed WeatherBug Elite from the App Store without notifying existing customers. In the new versions, users no longer have the ability to use local weather stations. In the new versions, the tabs are smaller, to accommodate a fifth tab, which makes the app harder to use. ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-08-13, version 6.6.0* It is buggin and saying it is 2 am the next day for me ### 1/5 — The Radar Function is Awful *2026-08-13, version 6.6.0* WeatherBug is still for now my go to app app for Weather. But it is quickly becoming my least favorite. The app used to be solid and responsive, but for some reason over the last year or two, the radar maps simply refused to load. I’ve used multiple access points at multiple locations and for whatever reason WeatherBug has done something to their app to make the radar function nearly unusable. I open the app and go to radar and it takes forever to load. I would love for WeatherBug to fix this. I keep thinking that some future update will take care of it, but it has not happened yet. And just to check my sanity, I will then go onto another app and go to the radar and the images load instantly. WeatherBug, please fix your app! Until they do, I would not recommend WeatherBug. ### 1/5 — App continually gets worse *2026-08-13, version 6.6.0* For Frankfort, KY, this app is HORRIBLY inaccurate. I noticed today (8/13/26) there was a recent update, because as usual the radar either doesn’t load or freezes. I just updated and the radar is blank even though it is lightning and pouring down rain. So I thought I’d delete app and reinstall. Same issue. And yes, I tried the usual of restarting phone and my Wi-Fi is working just fine. Also when I come temps, this app shows 90° and the Apple Weather app will show 79°. Explain that. Even the Alexa app disagrees with your weather temperature readings. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-08-24, version 6.6.0* Pretty accurate most of the time and like all the extras in the app! ### 5/5 — I love the Bug *2026-08-24, version 6.6.0* In the past, I have often gone between WeatherBug and other apps on my phone.
