User reviews

Terrible app

Forecasting is one of the worst I’ve experienced. As you can see from previous responses to reviews the developer is condescending and tries to shift blame for their ineptitude.

Terrible for accuracy

Along with the IBM weather app, this sadly is the worst I have found for accuracy when informing of rainfall or potential rainfall ahead. Says 6mm in Katikati/Tahawai so far today, reality 38mm. Few days ago it said total predicted would be 80 total over 2 days, got 200plus. Even when looking at my own areas recordings (always wrong) they show as 0 today recorded, but been raining nearly all day so far. It’s so far off my own weather station rain gauge. I have found its so useless its better to look out the window. Wish I could inform the app of recorded rain amounts for my area as the 3 they show are so far off my own, it may help fill in the obvious gap in data.

Was a great app

This was my go to for all weather forecasting. It was pretty accurate and I loved the hourly forecasts days in advance. Then the new version came out. No more long range hourly forecasts, and no longer accurate for my area. I’ve tried to get use to it, but I find myself now reaching first for the hated and also inaccurate MetService. I’m sorry, but this while it has more data is a backwards step in accuracy and usability. And no, I’m not paying a monthly subscription for anything, I can’t afford that. I’d rather watch ads.

Jack

Best weather app out there. Most information and the most accurate, can’t recommend enough!

Robbery

Why are people always looking at grabbing money.
The WW app worked well. I always had my location plus 2 other locations. No they want $7 / month so I can have more than one location! Not likely! I’ll use Apple’s free built in app.
