This was an awesome app to travel with and I kept promoting it to friends. Then one day it suddenly not letting me to get past their promo page. Like other reviewer said, the X to close out the popup does not work at all. Tried clicking “restore purchases” and also reinstalled the app. Nothing worked. Left the app there and tried again months later. Again. And again. Maybe it’s time to fully delete the app. Giving it a two star because it WAS a great app and a great travel buddy. Sad to see it going downhill. ### 4/5 — Leider *2026-03-05, version 5.10.23* Nur noch mit Premium nutzbar -.- Update: funktioniert wieder ohne Premium aber wenig gratis Skins ### 2/5 — แก้ไขวิดีโอยากมาก *2025-11-30, version 5.10.19* 1. หากทำเป็นภาพนิ่งถือว่าโอเค แต่เมื่อใดก็ตามที่ทำเป็นวิดีโอ รายละเอียดตัวอักษรจะถูกตัดออกไปเกือบครึ่ง ทำให้อ่านรายละเอียดไม่ออก 2. ไม่สามารถปรับแต่สีตัวอักษรได้ เวลาดึงวิดีโอในเครื่องมาใช้งานทำให้อ่านข้อความแทบไม่ได้ แอพเปลี่ยนสีข้อความจากสีขาวเป็นสีแบคกราวด์ในวิดีโอเองอัตโนมัติ และไม่สามารถแก้ไขกลับมาได้ 3. ตั้งค่าแอพเป็นระบบเมตริกแล้ว แต่ทุกครั้งที่จะทำภาพหรือวิดีโอ ระบบยังคงอ้างอิงเขตเวลาที่ไม่ใช่ตำแหน่งปัจจุบันของผู้ใช้ ไม่อ้างอิงเป็น GMT+7 ทำให้วันที่ไม่ตรงกับความเป็นจริง ระบบไม่ดีเลย ### 3/5 — App crashes *2025-10-31, version 5.10.16* : App crashes when exporting/saving video, but saving still image works. (แอปเด้งออกเมื่อบันทึก/ส่งออกวิดีโอ แต่บันทึกภาพนิ่งได้) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-12-21, version 5.9.14* I have used this app for years and loved the ability to add weather to my photos, now you have to subscribe to use it…super disappointing. ### 3/5 — Gute, aber überteuerte App *2024-12-17* Die App funktioniert wunderbar und ich nutze sie täglich, um Fotos des aktuellen Wetters zu machen. Aber, der Preis! 38€ im Jahr für verschiedene Overlays und eine „Community“ Funktion? Das muss doch wirklich nicht sein! ### 3/5 — What UI improvements? *2024-12-10, version 5.9.12* Every few days there is yet another update with promised UI improvements… but nothing really ever changes in the app. There’s not even a design with both high/low temps for the day. Try harder developers! ### 1/5 — 05/11/2024 *2024-12-09, version 5.9.12* ไม่เป็นปัจจุบัน😩 ### 1/5 — Black Friday deal screen cannot be closed. *2024-12-03, version 5.9.11* Now that the holiday season has arrived and we are getting spammed, I cannot use my app. The x at the top right of the screen will not close out the sale page. The app cannot be used. ### 1/5 — Ladrata *2024-12-03, version 5.9.11* L’app non si apre più, ho pagato anche la mensilità e non si apre nemmeno l’app. Scandaloso ### 1/5 — Can not access after Black Friday updates *2024-12-03* I really liked this application, so I decided to pay for it during Black Friday. However, the app is stuck on the Black Friday advertisement and doesn’t progress at all. Because of this, I can’t take the photos I want to capture today. Doesn’t this mean that today’s usage, as part of the one-year subscription I paid for, is wasted? I think this is unacceptable. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. ### 2/5 — แจ้งราคาต่อปี 1,200 บาท *2024-11-05, version 5.9.9* พอซื้อกลายเป็น 1,439 บาท บวกค่าอะไร ### 1/5 — Profil kann NICHT auf Privat gestellt werden! *2024-10-25, version 5.9.9* 1 Stern noch zu viel! Beste App für Stalking! Ich habe die App heruntergeladen, Bilder gemacht und hochgeladen. Diese wurden dann auf meinem Profil bei WeatherShot angezeigt. Ohne dieses Profil kann die App nicht genutzt werden. Und jetzt kommt es: das Profil war ÖFFENTLICH! Da ich aber meine Privatsphäre waren will und nicht jeder wissen muss, wo und wie ich wohne habe ich das geändert — nur um wenige Tage später wieder festzustellen, dass es wieder öffentlich ist. WAS SOLL DAS????? Habe daher den Account wieder gelöscht und mein Geld zurück gefordert. ### 1/5 — 課金しても無理 *2024-10-05* 課金しても使えない ### 1/5 — Из России работает теперь только с впн *2024-08-15* Печально, хорошее приложение было ### 3/5 — Viele Möglichkeiten aber Abo viel zu teuer *2024-07-13* Sehr viele Möglichkeiten, keine Wünsche bleiben offen aber das Abo ist wirklich viel zu teuer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — “Limited Time-48 hour offer” *2026-07-28, version 5.10.27* …is a scam. A gimmick. The “Limited Time-48 hour offer” has been going on for MONTHS now. Not worth the subscription anyway. Started off as a bait-and-switch. Now it’s a FULL-BLOWN app subscription, AFTER they got great reviews from past customers, our “usefulness” evaporated, and we are now condemned to bang-on psychotic “X’s” now, instead of the app we helped promote and that “stiffed us”. DON’T TRUST THEM! ### 1/5 — “Limited Time-48 hour offer” *2026-07-15, version 5.10.27* …is a scam. A gimmick. The “Limited Time-48 hour offer” has been going on for MONTHS now. Not worth the subscription anyway. Started off as a bait-and-switch. Now it’s a FULL-BLOWN app subscription, AFTER they got great reviews from this old customers, our “usefulness” evaporated, and we are now condemned to bang-on psychotic “X’s” now, instead of the app we helped promote “stiffed us”. DON’T TRUST THEM! ### 1/5 — “Limited 48 Hour Offer” is a Gimmick. *2026-05-30, version 5.10.25* “Limited 48 Hour Offer” is a CON. Been a “Limited 48 Hour Offer” for months because they shut down the app for all of their original customers by switching the app to a big In-App-Purchase. They’ll switch again - locking YOU out as well. You’re warned. ### 1/5 — “TICKS” *2026-05-14, version 5.10.23* Yes, I GET IT… developers have to “eat” too, but SO DO WE! I have 882 apps on my phone. If I paid all of those apps $9.99 a MONTH, I would have a MONTHLY BILL OF $8,811.18 !!! I have a better idea. Why don’t you make money the old-fashioned way? Why don’t you create an app and support your customers that got you to where you are today, and make your money through word-of-mouth and reviews? The silly trick of “luring” people in, and then hitting them with additional in-app purchases, subscriptions, and shutting/locking them out of the apps is ridiculous. I hope people read this and decide to move on and not support “tick” developers. WE were one of your FIRST customers - in the very beginning, and you PROFITED by our reviews. The Apple App Store was founded on the basic principle of extremely cheap apps created by developers in a very competitive market relying on reviews to succeed. It’s silliness like this is precisely what has destroyed that foundation. So sad. I hope people do not support or purchase from developers that are this materialistic and mercenary. ### 1/5 — Forced subscription *2026-05-02, version 5.10.23* This once great app is locked behind a pay wall. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — “TICKS” *2026-03-21, version 5.10.23* Yes, I GET IT… developers have to “eat” too, but SO DO WE! I have 882 apps on my phone. If I paid all of those apps $9.99 a MONTH, I would have a MONTHLY BILL OF $8,811.18 !!! I have a better idea. Why don’t you make money the old-fashioned way? Why don’t you create an app, and support your customers that got you to where you are today, and make your money through word-of-mouth and outstanding reviews, “The way developers should be paid”. This silly trick of “luring” people in, and then hitting them with additional in-app purchases, subscriptions, and shutting/locking them out of the apps they purchased (and all kinds of goofy tricks to milk us for money) … is ridiculous. I hope people read this and decide to move on and not support “tick” developers. I was one of your FIRST customers - in the very beginning, and made you what you are today — and now you screw me like this. The Apple App Store was founded on the basic principle of extremely cheap apps created by developers in a very competitive market. It’s silliness like this is precisely what has destroyed that foundation. So sad. No other viewpoint you could have about this but disgusting ethics. I hope people do not support or purchase from developers that are this materialistic and mercenary. ### 1/5 — Nur noch pay Funktion *2025-03-30* Leider gibt es nach den letzten Update nur noch die Bezahlfunktion. Nicht mehr kostenlos. Das ist sehr schade, denn ich zahle nicht für ein nice to have! So wichtig ist mir das dann auch wieder nicht. Also lösche ich die App… es gibt sicher andere🤪. Auch wenn ich schon Jahrzehnte diese und die Vorgänger Version hatte. Problemen ist, dass der Startbildschirm nur Zahloptionen zulässt und man über die erste Seite gar nicht hinaus kommt bei IOS ohne zu zahlen. Ich kann nur monatlich oder jährlich anklicken! Da nützen mir keine kostenlosen Optionen in der App weil ich gar nicht dahin komme!! The first screen in iOS gives no other option than to pay. I am not able to enter the app in any way without payment! **Developer response:** Da liegt wohl ein Missverständnis vor. Es stehen weiterhin kostenlose Skins zur Verfügung. Außerdem gibt es jede Woche einen anderen kostenlosen Skin. Du kannst einen freiwilligen Skin auch für Werbung verwenden. Bitte überprüfen Sie die Anwendung noch einmal. ### 1/5 — Keine kostenlose Version *2025-01-10* Habe diese App jahrelang in der Basisversion genutzt und fand sie immer toll. Seit einiger Zeit scheint sie jedoch kostenlos nicht mehr verfügbar zu sein. Schade. Drum nur noch einen Stern. **Developer response:** Die App ist für dich kostenlos nutzbar, mindestens ein Skin steht dir gratis zur Verfügung (wechselt wöchentlich). Zusätzlich kannst du jedes Skin für Werbezwecke nutzen. ### 1/5 — Falla *2025-01-04, version 5.9.14* No actualiza la temperatura siempre está en 0- no gasten en esto ### 1/5 — Редскостные жмоты *2024-12-31* Вот сами и юзайте своё приложение. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Leider *2026-03-22* Nur noch mit Premium nutzbar -.- Update: funktioniert wieder ohne Premium aber wenig gratis Skins Update: die klassischen guten Skins sind auch wieder gratis verfügbar Danke! **Developer response:** Die App bietet kostenlose Skins an. Man kann auch Skins freischalten, indem man sich Werbung ansieht. ### 5/5 — Good but I need restore purchase everytime *2025-11-04, version 5.10.17* Good but I need restore purchase everytime ### 5/5 — Must Have for Travelers *2025-03-11, version 5.10.1* I retired earlier so I could explore and travel the world one port at a time! ### 5/5 — ฉันชอบ *2025-03-05, version 5.10.1* ฉันชอบ ### 5/5 — 以前weatherphoto pro能不能在weathershot中也享受pro服务，怎么使用？ *2023-08-03, version 5.6* 以前weatherphoto pro能不能在weathershot中也享受pro服务，怎么使用？ ### 5/5 — Hasn’t Worked Properly Since 16.4 iOS Update *2023-04-27, version 5.5.6* When it works this is a wonderful app, but they charge premium price for an app that is very buggy & they are slow to support. Multi-location weather skins don’t work. My paid subscription stops working after a month EVERY YEAR & customer service is VERY slow to do anything about it. Had to get a refund from Apple, then reinstall and pay AGAIN. Will give this 5 stars if they ever fix it. For now, it’s $40 down the drain. ### 5/5 — Ottima *2023-04-07, version 5.5.6* Vengo dalla vecchia versione usata regolarmente Utilissima ### 5/5 — Good apps,but *2023-01-24, version 5.5.6* My system language is Chinese, how can I show location with English or other languages? ### 5/5 — 进入2022年，这个软件无法使用了 *2022-01-21* 不知什么原因2022年这款产品无法使用了，费用已交 今天，2022年1月21日上午开始能用了。但似乎没有以前顺畅，不知是否是网络问题 **Developer response:** 您可以通过 support@byss.mobi 联系我们并发送付款确认吗？ ### 5/5 — WeatherShot *2022-01-17* J’AI JUSTE : « UN POET » !!! **Developer response:** Merci pour les 5 étoiles! 🥰🥰 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
