Bring back dew points!

Was always my go to weather app you removed dew points and just has humidity and says at the current temp the humidity feels (dry, muggy, whatever). It’s terribly inaccurate. For example today it said the humidity was 58% and “comfortable for most” but it was not comfortable at all because the dew point, which you removed, is 68°. Another time is said “For most people the air feels fresh and clean.” Wrong, the air was muggy because the dew point was 74. Please bring back the actual dew point! Remove the subjective “how it feels” comments which are overdone, cringe, inaccurate and not scientific.

Terrible update

I’ve been using this app for many many years and I always loved the options it gave. Now with the new update you added things that take up too much space like pollen, UV and air quality and took away dew point…one of the most important readings. You also took away the sunrise sunset and wind turbine graphic which was nice to be able to get that info at a glance. Along with the 10 days at a glance. Bring back the old and put your new things at the bottom.

My Current location is not Chandler, AZ…it’s Glibert, AZ 85295

I have used your app for over a decade. This last version says my current location is Chandler, AZ & I am miles from Chandler. I am in Gilbert, AZ southwest corner of Higley Rd & Ray Rd. Please fix your app. I have to continually swish to get my weather for Gilbert AZ 85295. TIA.

Note: I have managed banking mobile apps as the Dir of IT. This is the most challenging update I’ve ever seen from your team & features were removed (such as barometric pressure & ‘at a glance’ sunrise & sunset) or partially available, & I seriously question if there were test scripts for all the changes or they weren’t followed possibly. Something got out without full regression testing. Hire me as a tester part-time (retired recently) because the latest version needs some cleaning, & I helped change a mobile app from 2 stars to 4/5 stars in less than a year. Change is good when features aren’t removed & it saves time & increases value. I hope the next release is very soon or this app will be removed, and it was so good except shrink the ads a bit. Thank you. I appreciate your efforts.

Please return back to the former UI

Everything good just requesting you guys to return to the former UI, this current UI is not user-friendly. Also, I would like to see some countries’ weather but would not like to save them. So there should be an option like when I type in Boston, I can see the weather of Boston, but when I return, it should not be saved there should be an option to save it, and we have to click on it to save it so that long list of cities don’t come up upon the screen unnecessarily.

Pretty close weather

The images are great and I am pleased with the hourly temperature. It would have been 5 stars if you could show the temperature in Greenwich or southeast London

Update ruined the app

This new update has completely destroyed the app. There’s no way to default it to my location, even after re arranging things in the search, which by the way makes no sense to go to the search area to do that. There’s layout is confusing and looks messy compared to how it used to be. The interface is now super anti-user friendly, I’ve used this app for a decade and now it sucks.

Time

WHERE IS THE TIME ?Not happy with the update as you have eliminated THE TIME which I love to be able to know the weather with family around the country along with TIME in their time zone!

You messed up my app!😡

I have been using this app for over 10 years.
This last upgrade is a downgrade for me. I had saved several cities because I traveled between them; they’re gone and I have to reenter them. And when I first went into the app, it didn’t recognize me at all!
There was nothing wrong with the app before.
You should have followed the axiom of it’s not broke, don’t fix it!

Terrible Update

Awful since the recent update. Finding another weather app

Shrunk

The latest update has made the eligibility worse. Where are you used to be able to see the high temp predicted for each day, now it’s the range from low to high with s line in between - and it makes the text really small. Much less usable, disappointed.

Missing previous information

The new format does not include Dew Point or source of pollution in air quality. As someone with an ozone sensitivity, knowing that level is up is critical.

Missing features

This app used to be so reliable, but the latest update removed critical data points like AQI, dew point, and UV index. I’ll be deleting this app and looking elsewhere.

New format

Ok so since the new update I can’t delete the city I live in on the app, it shows my city twice with the name and one more time with the zip code. I have tried everything to delete it. So in other words before I swipe to check other cities I have saved on the app I have to look at my city temperature three times.

Program jam

I tried to go into manage my account. The program froze.

Don't like new update

I've used Yahoo Weather for 10+ years, it's my favourite weather app. However, there are a couple things that I see have been removed in this new update. You can no longer change units individually in settings (ex. temperature in Fahrenheit while wind speed is in km/h), as ALL units must either be metric, non-metric, or the UK hybrid now. Also, on the main screen you can no longer easily toggle between Fahrenheit and Celcius while looking at the 10-day forecast. As someone who works in both the US and Canada, these were features I used all the time and I'm disappointed they're gone as I liked the easy accessibility in going back and forth.

If it Ain't Broke...

Loved for a decade. Arbitrarily completely destroyed.

Update Removed YW best feature

Looking for the beautiful location photos without the data on top.

Absurd app

Tells me "coming up" on a day that's already passed eg. it's Monday but the coming up forecast is Sunday. Uninstalled

Immature-looking Product

It always amazed me how much the photos replicated my area. I look at this weather app daily, so it felt like someone pulled the rug out from under me when I saw what had been done to it. It is now depressing, dark, and unreliable. It's also a very immature-looking product, as are the developers' responses to bad reviews.

Best Weather App!

I’ve used several weather apps and Yahoo Weather provides an accurate overview of daily weather in an easy to read format. My only question is how to delete locations. Before the latest update and redesign, it was very easy to delete a city location. Now, I can see the list of selected cities, but there’s no option to delete. Other, the app is great!
