User reviews

Love it, but recently been crashing

This has been my go-to app for the longest time and accurate. But for the last couple of days, it doesn't even respond. Iphone 14, iOS 27.0.1. Will update rating when fixed.

Just plain wrong often

This app looks real pretty, but boy is it wildly inaccurate much too often

Great app

It’s truly exceptional. I had over 12 weather apps installed on my phone, but none match the accuracy and finesse of this one. Ad-free, free of charge, and unpretentious—yet undoubtedly the best. Keep up the great work.

Have used this app for years but poor search function has me going elsewhere.

I’ve found this app to be reliable over the last 7 years in both New Zealand when I called that home and now Canada. However as a frequent traveller I’m often searching for new places and this is where to app falls short. The search function is unusable! I’m in Kamloops right now, and I want to look up the weather in Clearwater, about 1hr north and where we are heading tomorrow. I type Clearwater, then Clearwater BC, and the results show everything but where I want. I’d imagine the app can be intelligent enough to show close results first and not some place in Florida. I’ve had this happen so frequently with places that aren’t by any stretch “remote” and I’ll now be looking for a new app.

The worst weather app

This lousy app can't even predict the weather for the same day. They forecast in the morning sunny day and a few hours later, it's pouring rain.
