### 2/5 — Trop de notifications inutiles

*2026-07-02, version 2.6.0*

Je peux recevoir 10 notifications “Alerte Jaune” disant veille d’orage violent, d’orage violent ou de vent violent, etc. Mais, tous cela n’y arrive pas. A tout heure de la journée. Je peux comprendre qu’il est important de le savoir mais de recevoir plusieurs notifications pour rien ça devient agassant. Donc, peut être corrigé cela et je vais réinstaller l’application. AccuWeather ou MétéoMédia ne m’envoie pas des dizaines de notifs disant la même chose. Ils peuvent me l’envoyer une à deux fois maximum à comparer de plus de 10 fois pour MétéoCAN

### 2/5 — Lacking information

*2026-07-02, version 2.6.0*

Temperatures are fairly accurate, but it’s lacking lots of specifics for future days and other features, rendering pointless when compared to other apps.

### 4/5 — No LOCK Screen widget…!?!?

*2026-06-28, version 2.6.0*

App is great with one HUGE feature missing. How is there no LOCK screen widget in iOS26. And no in not talking about HOME screen widgets. And yes, they are different. I simply cannot understand how there’s no LOCK screen widget, which in my mind is a huge omission. Please add this ASAP.

### 2/5 — Radar bien moyen

*2026-06-25, version 2.6.0*

Triste de ne pas voir les radars tout le temps.  Souvent cette fonction est non disponible.  Ça fait 4-5 mois que c’est comme cela.  Il pourrait aussi projeter dans le futur les radars pour mieux planifier nos activités

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2026-06-20, version 2.6.0*

Update, ridiculous, when I open the open the app it keeps showing me the weather in a town an hour away. It says current location yet I’m nowhere near this smaller town…..It seems like it may be not to bad but it doesn’t always seem to be accurate when I compare it with other apps. Probably doesn’t really matter though considering how they are always wrong with their predictions. It seems they are never wrong in a good way either. Weather always seems to be worse than what they say it will be.

### 5/5 — Accurate AND surprisingly interesting

*2026-06-19, version 2.6.0*

Honestly, I downloaded this in the hope of getting more accurate info about if it is going to rain but the little write ups about Canadian weather topics have been really cool. I just learned about mammatus clouds! The UI could be a bit slicker, but the info is great. Good work enviro Can!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-06-17, version 2.6.0*

Love this app. It’s my go to for weather info. Good data. Clear warnings. The random messages with information about different types of weather is a nice little perk that’s very informative too. Only wish I got notifications for them. Notifications for weather events work fine though which is most important.

### 4/5 — No ads or other garbage

*2026-06-17, version 2.6.0*

I did prefer the more straightforward older design, but the app still does what it should.

It would be better if the radar map would project forward in time, and if the forecast and hourly forecast included the amount of rain predicted to fall each hour. How much and how hard it’s expected to rain is let information

### 4/5 — Most accurate one so far

*2026-06-09, version 2.6.0*

I would give it 5 stars if I could zoom in more

### 5/5 — WeatherCan

*2026-06-08, version 2.6.0*

I thought the app was not working but it was my vpn. All good five stars
