### 2/5 — Satilite

*2026-08-28, version 3.3.4*

The old graphics on the cloud satellite were brilliant the latest version shows a clear sky but it’s raining! Seriously?

### 3/5 — Willy Weather

*2026-08-21, version 3.3.4*

I be give  👍👍 to the Willy weather App 
It’s a great opportunity for me to be able to get the best and the worst weather in my area  Thanks so Much

### 4/5 — Needs an anti age-ist intervention

*2026-08-13, version 3.3.4*

Generally a great app but the text is insanely small and folks who need to know whats happening with the wind and weather don’t always have their spectacles handy - not good enough people 🧐🧐

### 5/5 — Cape Cod

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.3*

The tide data is phenomenal for Cape Cod!

### 5/5 — Ms B Goode

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.2*

So much better than the BoM app! Graphics, charts, rain radar all vastly superior - so glad I dumped you know who 🙃

### 5/5 — Awful sometimes

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.3*

Sometimes it’s so behind with the temperature

### 5/5 — TD

*2026-08-02, version 3.3.2*

Excellent guide to both future wind & rain and very accurate

### 5/5 — Swannel Street

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.2*

Highly recommended. Absolutely the best all round weather reference for everything weather including forward predictions. Just love it. Easy as to use.

### 5/5 — Goat

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.2*

Really good weather forecast.

### 5/5 — Best weather app

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.2*

I’ve been using this app for many years and I was one of the fortunate ones that paid the one off price of around seven dollars to remove ads. I’ve not come across any better weather app and I like the fact that it uses many resources for its information. The features are very useful.

### 5/5 — Wind Predictor

*2026-07-30, version 3.3.2*

Use Willy with confidence that wind will be as previewed. I do water sports affected by wind so need a reliable source of information. Usually within 10% which I classify as excellent!

### 2/5 — Gentle

*2026-07-29, version 3.3.2*

I believe the adjectives used to describe the wind, are inaccurate and misleading.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-27, version 3.3.2*

Excellent presentation

### 5/5 — Clear Forecast

*2026-07-25, version 3.3.2*

One of the best apps I had used to get the weather forecast in Australia. It’s easy to see the predictions of rainfall probability per hour and it’s very reliable. I can access the radar from the rain tab. It also presents all the information including humidity, wind, sunrise and sunset time.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-20, version 3.3.2*

Great weather app for any one

### 4/5 — Good but room for improvement

*2026-07-19, version 3.3.2*

Pretty good app. Don’t know why moon takes precedence over waters on the menu. And it would be better if tides could be based on nearest ocean.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What a scam

*2026-09-01, version 3.3.4*

I’ve had this app for ages and it uses the exact same radar as bom and has the exact same details if not worse considering how many times it’s been wrong and now it wants a subscription to access free information what a joke and a scam the devs should be ashamed

### 1/5 — Terrible scam ads

*2026-08-25, version 3.3.4*

The ads don’t appear to be properly screened - be careful of malicious redirects and scam ads.

### 1/5 — No ads is BS

*2026-08-19, version 3.3.4*

I am a paid subscriber but I still receive ads. When I selected Feedback & Support, it shows “no email on this device” which is BS. I searched all my settings, including for this app, and there are no email settings to enable or change. I will not renew.

### 1/5 — Contains adult ads that cannot be removed unless paid

*2026-08-10, version 3.3.4*

The ads are for all weird adult objects that makes checking the app in front of anyone embarrassing. I use foreign websites to buy electronics so I’m not sure why they are advertising other things.

### 1/5 — Not secure

*2026-07-14, version 3.3.2*

Awful static sound for rain alert. Also had a scam virus warning flashing red in the ads saying I had to click to stop it. It wouldn’t go away so I rebooted my phone. Still there when I restarted. Lost safari trying to get rid of it by deleting the app. Layout ok but annoying sounds and not secure.

### 1/5 — In accurate

*2026-06-30, version 3.3.0*

Weather forecast is generally inaccurate and the adds that you cannot get rid of are actually disturbing and disgusting. Wouldn’t give it a star

### 1/5 — Sleazy Temu ads constantly

*2026-06-27, version 3.3.1*

I admit I don’t want to pay for premium. I don’t mind normal ads, but recently the ads have have become constant temu sleaze.  Reluctantly getting a different app.

### 1/5 — Bill

*2026-06-19, version 3.3.0*

Willy weather is never accurate

### 1/5 — Stinky

*2026-06-14, version 3.2.0*

Was the best weather app until they changed the subscription model, 0/10 uninstalled straight away

### 1/5 — Custom alerts

*2026-06-03, version 3.2.0*

Paid for a subscription to get custom alerts and they don’t even work. Cancelled

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Invaluable

*2026-08-30, version 3.3.4*

The best !!

### 5/5 — My go to

*2026-08-25, version 3.3.4*

I have a few weather apps on my phone, but WillyWeather is the one I use 90% of the time. I particularly like the radar as it is spot on. And the overall presentation is easy to read in one glimpse.

### 5/5 — APPRECIATION:-

*2026-08-24, version 3.3.4*

Always so, so accurate💪👍.

### 5/5 — Awesome app and Apple Watch compatibility

*2026-08-15, version 3.3.4*

I’ve been looking for a weather app that actually showed me factual data. I think this one might be it. The watch complications work perfectly. So much better than all those ad-laden apps begging for subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-14, version 3.3.4*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Great weather app

*2026-08-11, version 3.3.4*

Great weather app. Easy to use and latest update is really fast and smooth to use.

### 5/5 — Best weather app for Apple Watch

*2026-08-07, version 3.3.4*

Title says it all. I’ve tried them all and this is by far the best with everything easily right there for you including the local weather radar. Really like the complications too such as lunar cycle.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-07, version 3.3.4*

Very accurate

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.4*

Amazing tool to check the forecast.

### 5/5 — Willy weather

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.4*

Very very happy easy to use because I’m 70 and not tech savvy
