They completely ruined the app. This was one of the best weather apps I’ve used. Overall it was very easy to read and use, and I’ve used the app for years. The past update though completely destroyed everything. If you don’t pay for premium + it’s basically pointless. I’m not going to pay money to see a 72 hour forecast; it’s literally a weather app why is there a subscription in the first place?? Despite the developers’ blatant greed (which everyone’s already complaining about), they changed the interface so now it’s more difficult to read (especially with the hourly tab). The way it was before made it easy to scroll through with the temperature in the biggest font. Now it’s some weird sideways chart with a bunch of graph lines and stuff?? I’m not a scientist - I don’t care or want to see the temperature high and lows on a graph I just want to see what the temperature is. They’ve made the temperature so small now too; it just looks so messy. I don’t even have sight problems, I can’t imagine how annoying this update has to be for older people or just people with bad eyesight in general. In conclusion, they need to go back to how it was before or they’re going to lose all their longtime users and fail to gain any new ones.

Used to be a good app. AccuWeather used to be the powerhouse free weather app. Unfortunately, the ads have gotten out of hand. The UI is still pretty good, and the forecast are more often accurate than not, but you are bombarded with a full screen ad every time you change screens (from daily to hourly, or hourly to radar, or from the daily summary to the weekly summary). All of them come equipped with a 5-10 second timer before you can skip, the “close” or skip buttons are always tucked in the corner, and the same color as the ad. Don’t worry, If you’ve already been hit with three ads during your 3 minute browsing session, there are another three (probably the same ones you just saw) heading your way fast. If you can find a way to work around the frustration of the ads, it’s a pretty good app. If you want to do a quick peek of the weather without having to jump through hoops, or put energy into navigating, this is not for you. Even if you don’t mind the ads at first, you will grow to hate them as much as you love the accuracy. I understand money has to be made somehow, but certainly a less greasy way is possible

This was the best weather app before the update... I’ve never understood why developers think update/upgrade means take something simple and make it more complicated to work with. Before the update I could click once or twice and get where I wanted to look. I get it. It is one or two scenarios at play here. 1. Someone is getting paid so they had to show they were doing something for the money, or, 2. New developers with ambitions to make it their own. I am the youngest person where I work by a decade + and it has been a point of pride when talking to the “old heads” about weather, that the app I had for weather (what this app WAS) was way better than the ones they have. Now it is just the same. I went from being “the weatherman” to having a look of shame in telling them this app isn’t good anymore. The one positive take away is on the radar the time is segmented better and has a longer time frame (why I have 2 stars instead of the 1). That and some different graphics would have been a great update. This was the best weather app in my opinion. Now it’s just the same as the rest. Way to play down to the “competition” . I hope that whoever it was that was in charge of this update is not responsible for developing any of my other apps.

Price Increase, Quality Decrease. This was a good app until the recent update. Now you can’t see beyond 12 hours out without paying for Premium PLUS, which used to be a free feature. I’m already subscribed to Premium but apparently Premium Plus is the new Premium. Disgusting. Beyond that, the aesthetic is weird now and is trying to be too similar to The Weather Channel app. Might as well just use TWC app because they don’t charge to see 24 hours of weather. I’m deleting this app and just forgoing the rest of the year I have left for Premium since it apparently doesn’t get you anything useful besides getting rid of ads. Do companies not know when they have a good thing anymore? Edited: The developers reached out to let me know how to find the 72 hour view as before, in the list view. I do appreciate that and I increased my rating accordingly. I do still think it’s wrong that they’ve paywalled some previously free features. I would be more interested in paying a monthly subscription if they added innovative features instead of asking users to pay for old, free features. Either way, I am glad my favorite features seem to be excluded from the paywall after all, so I will keep using the app as my default.

Just one little thing. Great app. Accurate and simple to use… except when you send out text notices with titles like Drenching Rains Coming. When I click on it it takes me to a page with a white banner on the left that allows me to do all sorts of things like upgrade the app, or review the app like I am doing here, now. The problem I have is that the only way I have found to close this page and get back to the regular app page with the forecast is to turn off my phone and turn it back on. I mean to say that there never is anything here on this page that has anything to do with the title you sent me. Oh, I can go to Channel 13’s website, but I don’t want to go to the website. There is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and I want to look at the forecast. So, I am going to turn off my phone and turn it back on to get control of my phone back, again. Next time I am going to delete the app. I can get weather apps anywhere. I mean pick a TV channel. They all offer weather apps. (Or you could fix the page so a person can tell how to get off of it? Just a thought, but what do I know?)

Each update leaves me feeling more put off than the last.... As someone who has used Accuweather for well over 10 years now, I’ve seen my fair share of updates, changes, and revisions. Some are for the better, some for the worse. The common trait here is that each iteration leaves me feeling less and less enthused about using this app. This most recent update has left me avoiding the app nearly all together. The weather wheel now doesn’t show any rain predictions, even though we have had the most rain in the past two weeks than we have had all year. The app seems to crash a lot more than usual, and the forecasts seem to go down more than they used to. Also, I’m in the majority about the newly implemented ads. I absolutely understand the need for ads, and don’t mind them when the service is good, however these new ads are intrusive, and more of a hindrance than anything. They also seem like an attempt to get more purchases, but the word is that even the paid app has the same advertisements. I’m more than willing to give you all a second chance, but if this doesn’t improve, I’ll be using another app for my weather needs.

Alert settings need worked on. Love this app for the most part but I wish I could turn off some types of notifications. I like to know the weather alerts in more than just my area but I am constantly disturbed at any time of the night with one particular one that is not relevant to my interest. I do not need to know about every rip current I am alerted at least 3 times per week in the early hours of the morning about this particular event. I understand the importance to some. I would still like to know about important weather events because those do pertain to me and my family. However rip currents are not relevant to me or my family and I’m tired of getting woken up at 2am for them. I don’t want to silence notifications in case of an actual emergency situation. For all of the adds I sit though and the money made from paid customers you would hope some goes into improving the app. Allowing us to unselect certain types of events would make this app so much better.

InAccuWeather is Worthless. I paid for the Premium version two decades ago, for good reason then, but not now. I would NEVER pay a monthly subscription fee for the garbage this app has become. The app has officially reached the END OF ITS LIFE as a dependable go to for weather information in your pocket! Ever since app development was outsourced to a small firm in India some 6+ years ago, AccuWeather has steadily declined to where it is today. And, with only one exception, the Radar, everything else about the app has been on a steady decline with regards to reliability. An interface redesigned for least common denominator so they can limit their efforts on the UX/UI development between phone and tablet, and unfortunately, that’s why the phone version total crap requiring too much effort on the part of the user to find weather data that used to be right up front on main screen all available with a simple scroll. The irony of just how “INACCURATE” AccuWeather has become is a bit hilarious as it could easily change its name to InAccuWeather, pun intended. Both current weather conditions and the forecasted weather conditions are typically not close to being correct, at least not in North America.

Hourly Forecast Bug & Current UI ruin, otherwise great app.. The most recent updates have included a bug with the hourly forecast. (ie, it is currently Wednesday, but when I select Hourly Forecast, it starts with Friday! I can not find any way to get today’s hourly forecast) Another annoying feature, which I mentioned in a previous review of the “Version 4” app, is the change in detailed daily view information. In the previous version of the app, I could review anticipated rainfall for the next several days, by going into the daily Forecast detailed view, then scroll from Day to night outlook, from one day to the next, by repeated swipes. Now, I can only view a single day at a time. The app requires you to close the detailed view, switch days, then re-select the detailed view for that day. This is extremely frustrating, when I am trying to anticipate the total impact of a large, multi-day storm wave. I don’t understand why they can’t simply permit continuous scrolling, while listing the Day, at the top of the listing. The current interface LOOKS nice, but it is far less user friendly than the old one.

Radar Defects & Ads Are Out of Control. Thanks for neutering the hourly view by forcing an upgrade to premium to see more than 6+ hours head now. You people are ridiculous! Nobody’s should be paying monthly subscriptions for a stupid weather app!!!! A slick new look for your stupid ads maybe, certainly not the app. You can’t even tell what the weather is with your app, it’s basically just ads on every page and full screen as you change screens. Should be called AccuAds instead. 👎 You’ve officially hit a new low with the ads that play sounds now! Nothing but crash after crash on iOS 16 after the app has been backgrounded for a while. Ads are ridiculous in this app. Full screen, partial screen. Close ad buttons change positions to make it harder to navigate away from them and stay on screen longer. Developer’s tactics on ad pushing shouldn’t be allowed. Now they’ve added top toolbar ads on the radar screen too. The app isn’t good enough to warrant this type of ad revenue from this company. 👎 Future radar sometimes doesn’t show at all. The times on the scroll is only past to current. Also, when it does work, future radar has missing frames and graphical glitches in the snapshots where it’s missing map data entirely in square or rectangular sections. It’s just glitchy as f*!

Dang this app is fire 🔥 ( and even without premium! ). Ok… this app is the most useful, amazing, practical app I have on my phone rn. Not even lying. The radar is spot on and I literally know so much about the weather around me! U will find that this app keeps u up 2 date on the weather better then anything else and guess what- if u have seasonal allergies such as ragweed pollen, or even dust and dander, ( there r others 2 that r on there! ) they let u know if u need 2 take precautions or whatever. The predictions almost never lie, and the blogs r so cool! I may be in my early teen years, but Accu weather has been here 4 me. I know so much from it now! Download if u want 2 know about worldwide flooding, fires, tornados, hurricanes and more. And even ur local weather predictions! Good luck, and keep on loving this app. P.s. I didn’t even mention the other fab stuff this app contains! Such as news from nasa and special nights 2 see the awesome stuff space has 2 give! Love this app 🥰

Layout is Confusing. I decided to download the premium version of this app after The Weather Channel had too many video advertisements. I was just tired of the ads. This app has no ads, but it is the LEAST user-friendly app I’ve ever had. The “back arrow” buttons are the same color and size as the text, and they’re placed right next to the text, so it took me a while to figure out how to go back. And every screen, the back button looks different. Sometimes you have to swipe down to get out of a screen (for example, hourly), and sometimes you have to hit the back button. And don’t even get me started on trying to toggle the hourly “compass”-style button. As soon as you touch the circle to try to drag it, the entire data does this weird zoom thing and the sensitivity is way too high for anyone’s thumb. It’s like they adjusted the mouse speed to 100- any tiny movement and you’re 4 hours past where you wanted to go, and it doesn’t land where you want it to land. Also, the circle should be on the actual hours, not on the bar graph below. You have to move the circle on the bar graph to see the hours change on top. It’s just not a very well-designed app.

Hate the new layout, no portrait mode, no hour by hour graphs. Landscape mode only? So it appears this version of the iPad app only allows you to use it in landscape mode and does not support viewing data in portrait mode. I typically don’t use my iPad in landscape mode except for the odd spreadsheet and videos the rest of the time I use it in portrait mode. Especially as i am walking around the kitchen each morning trying to get ready for my day and commute to work. Trying to hold an iPad in landscape mode while also tryin to get out coffee and breakfast for the family is impossible. I wish that the app would autorotate depending on the orientation of the user or if there were a button in the settings to allow you to force the app into portrait mode. No more hour by hour graphs? - the old app allowed you to look at the hour by hour trends of the day in graphical form for temperature, realfeel and % Precipitation. Now all the graphs have been removed and replaced by text? Before at a glance with the charts I could look at the predictions and see what was likely the trend of the day and therefore provide me an easy way to choose if I should do a task that day. Now i have to sit and compare and remember each value hour by hour and try and figure out if we’re just getting a pop up shower in the afternoon or if the whole afternoon is going to be a wash for the Zoo or mowing the lawn.

This is what I’ve been wanting from a weather app!. I used DarkSky for, well, until they sold out to Apple. One of the main features I liked was the precipitation forecast. Not just the percentage, but how sever (basically, inches of snow expected). I also liked the hyper-local feature since where I live can vary within just a few miles. Of course, accuracy is important. I looked a every possible free app. You get what you pay for there. None had all the important features I was looking for. I decided to try AccuWeather app premium+ for a year. Immediately I love the ad-free look and feel. The winter cast is impressive. It’s what dark sky had but much better. And when I comes to Colorado driving, skiing, and outdoors activities, a good weather app is necessary. Thus far, I’m a huge fan! Edit: the app could use some help with the wind forecast. When I look at storms coming in, wind is a factor. Also, wind impacts the planning of activities. As it is, I had to go to another app to get what was offered in DarkSky. Still a fan, but dropped it to 4 stars.

All the facts, easy to read and navigate. I chose the AccuWeather App after I found out that my “farmer” sister showed how well it deciphers the ever changing Rocky Mountain weather. I like the feature that allows you to see about 120 minutes ahead if there’s snowfall coming and when there might be a chance to get out of the house and run an errand. It’s been pretty precise too. The sunrise/sunset and moon phases can also be found on the main screen. The main screen is well designed and further investigation of the site is easy to navigate through. It gives you a weekly forecast and if you choose to do so, you can get a 15 day forecast. I haven’t found the longer range forecast to be as accurate though. It might be unrealistic to give a 15 day forecast in our day and age. Even with all our science and gadgets it seems too “far-out” for any prediction. Short videos are available of weather related events. If you DON’T pay the approximately $4 a month, you can’t skip the commercials. They’re pretty short though - 15 seconds- which seems long when you’re waiting for the video. You can also sign up for weather alerts. I use AccuWeather’s site almost daily.

No need to change. I’ve (sorta) gotten over the fact that app creators feel the need to completely change app interfaces that don’t need changing for who knows what reason. I was annoyed with this new interface when I first saw it, but I tried working with it. My initial complaint was that its now laggy. Nothing scrolls smoothly. I used The Weather Channel app for years, but switched over to this one about a year ago because TWC was having more lag than was worth dealing with and it was a breath of fresh air being able to check my weather without the app acting up. After some more use I’ve found other problems with this. The lovely hourly rain chart is gone, which I used all the time. The front screen now doesn’t show all that the weather is doing and the dial around the temperature isn’t as intuitive. It’s harder to see wind speed. And why change the widget? I used that all the time to quickly see daily high and low, and now high and low aren’t on there?? Many people loved this app because it was unlike all the other ones (especially weather channel). I’ve now deleted this and I’m searching for one that has the features I regularly use, features this one used to have that it no longer does.

Superior quality weather forecasts. This weather app because it combines an easy to use interface with surprisingly accurate forecasts which often pin weather events to within minutes of when they actually happen. I have been using the free version with advertising which used to have mostly innocuous ads. Now full screen ads routinely pop up, some with decidedly scammy content you don’t dare click to dismiss. The only way out is to swipe the whole app closed then reopen and hope not to see the same ad. This used to be a four star app, but the toxic ads made me reduce it to two stars. Update 29 January 2023: There are still full screen ads which pop up right when you are trying to do something which is jarring and actually tends to make one resent the advertiser, the opposite of what is intended. Most of the ads seem to be cancellable now, some only after a mandatory countdown. So the advertising situation is better and you can sped $0.99/month to get rid of the ads if you want. I’m raising my rating one star, mostly based on the good accuracy, but hampered by advertising which reduces the usability of the application.

Mostly great!. There are tons of weather apps available. The devs description is accurate, but I will tell you my top Pros/Cons. PROS: ~ Love the radar. Gives you an option to view the past or future. ~ A slick “Minute by Minute” wheel that pinpoints precipitation for the next two hours. ~ A ton of features that don’t overwhelm you when launching the app. The basic stuff is clearly and nicely laid out and simple taps/swipes will get you to deeper details if desired. CONS: * The “location services” pin points my house right on the mark. But, the app declares the location is a nearby city instead of the one my house is in. * I have several weather apps that use location services plus my own house thermometer. AccuWeather many times states that it is 4-6 degrees cooler than all the others. * That’s it. Some may feel those are picky things, but it is enough to knock off a star IMHO. Overall, a great app. I was happy to pay the $4 to support the devs and also get rid of the ads. 😄 UPDATE: AccuWeather no longer offers a pay once to get rid of ads. It is now a monthly or yearly fee. Besides costing much more, “family sharing” means nothing now. EVERY family member must pay the on-going fee if you want to get rid of the annoying ads. In other words, my pay once fee does not get grandfathered in. 👎🏻

Reliable, too much clicking. Combining Accuweather and The Weather Channel data are the most reliable in my area. Unfortunately, I need to look for other apps that have Accuweather data source apps because this app isn’t easy to read, you need to do too much clicking to see more details. One example in hourly forecast (as well as daily forecast), you can’t click on one certain hour (or day) to see the details, then just scroll through each of the hours or days to see how conditions (wind, humidity, cloud cover, etc) evolve over a few hours. You need to click each hour individually to see the details. Also, there needs to be an hourly graph, just like the daily one. Some of the current conditions/parameters (which I don’t care for) are showed on the main window, then I need to click again and pop up another window to see more of them. At least make them customizable so I can place those I want to see in front of the others, on the main window. A bit disappointed, I’m still longing for their original app from 10 years ago which was, in my opinion, better in many ways.

Is Update 14.0 a Money Grab Attempt?. Been following reviews for about a month now. 95% of them dislike the update and ask for Version 13 back. Developer replies have been canned and unhelpful. I don’t need to read for the 50th time about your “persistent” toolbar. Only thing persistent is how the app fails compared to Version 13. I’m seriously wondering about the trustworthiness of Accuweather company. In 2017 there were reports that Accuweather was selling customer current location data without permission to other companies. Has this practice stopped? I hear other comments about ad placement becoming a nuisance. Is this a ploy to drive subscriptions up? Will you be releasing an “update” that returns you to the nice Version 13 but you call it Accuweather Platinum or another term other than premium so all those premium users are stuck with the inferior Version 14 unless they pay every year for a subscription? Please be honest with us. Please respond to my post — I’ll check to see if you deleted it and keep posting until we hear a reply. I would love if you prove me wrong and return to Version 13 without additional charges. Looking forward to your reply. Bill

Dangerously Inaccurate. This last weekend, Denver had the worst air quality in the world. But if you only looked at this app, you would not know it. It stated that the Denver metro area was around 40 AQI (Fair air quality), and not higher. However, every other data source, including the government air quality website, said our air quality was in the 180s (Unhealthy). (Including news reports!!) This is drastically different than 40 AQI and could harm those who are sensitive populations and should not go out in bad air quality. It is also harmful for those who are not sensitive, and can cause real harm in short periods of time. I did send them feedback about this, but instead of taking responsibility for this inaccuracy, they merely stated it was the fault of the place they get their data from for air quality. This is a terrible excuse. Get your data elsewhere. You’re supposed to be “accu” weather. Take some responsibility and show you have integrity! Because of this, I do not trust accuweather for weather data anymore. I will be uninstalling and telling others about the dangerous misinformation they allow on their website. It’s a pity, as I’ve been using accuweather to get my weather data for years now.

Updated: CS was great. UPDATE: Customer Service was really great. The link to restore a purchase is definitely not intuitive. There is the tiniest, minuscule link for restoring purchases located at the very bottom of the pop up you get when you click on the Premium+ button. So, my no ads purchase from years ago has been restored. I still like the app… it seems to do as well tracking the weather as the other weather app I have, which is Weather Bug. So, I plan to keep using it… for now. —————- Several years ago, I paid for no ads. Because the app keeps locking up after the last update, I uninstalled and then reinstalled. Tried to find a “restore purchase” button, but there doesn’t appear to be one. Only thing I can see is the Premium button. I’m not paying a second time for no ads. Plus, after reading recent reviews, it seems I’m not the only one having serious issues with the app. It used to be great, but is now total garbage. Two stars only because it served me well for many years prior to becoming a trash app. Guess I’ll look to replace it with a better weather app.

Useful features, but the alerts need work. Accuweather is my primary weather app- it’s very good about serving up detailed and timely information, and the alerts are especially crucial when you live in a northern plains state like I do, where floods, tornadoes and suddenly icy roads are all things which have to be accounted for. It’s because of the alerts that I have to drop a couple of stars, though- more often than not, the push notifications which Accuweather sends me are almost useless, because it will buzz my Apple Watch or my phone with a message that I have an alert, but not include the nature of the threat. This forces me to dig out my phone, open the app and find the button with the yellow exclamation point next to it. High winds? Heavier than usual rain? An addendum to an existing flood alert? A tornado in my area? All treated the same. I get fatigued from all this vigilance, which can itself be dangerous- I’m forced to treat every pop-up like it’s a potential disaster, instead of just getting the important highlights in a watch alert which I can then either dismiss or explore in greater depth. This correction would make Accuweather so much more useable for me.

RealFeel illegible in hourly list view. Like many of your other Premium subscribers, I’m quite disappointed by the recent update that adds a horizontal hourly graph view and sets it as the default although accessing most of its features now requires a Premium+ subscription. I’d love to be able to set the list view (vertical scrolling), which is still included in my Premium subscription, as the default to avoid the extra click every time I enter the app. More importantly, I’d encourage you to take a look at the W3C accessibility guidelines and reconsider your choice of font size for the RealFeel temp in the list view, which to my eyes (at 40-ish years old) is now illegible. I’ve considered AccuWeather to be a 5-star app for years and used it exclusively, in large part thanks to the RealFeel feature which I can no longer physically see due to the recent UI change. Like others, I do consider constant pushes for upgrades to be ads, so while I don’t care about missing out on the Premium+ features, I would like the option for the ad-free experience I’ve paid for by only showing me the free list view.

Paid Subscription Shows Ads Anyway - Bad Customer Service. Note to developers: I left a 1 star review - not 5. Stop it. To avoid ads, I enrolled in the premium program and am a paid subscriber (don’t judge me🥴). Even though I paid to not receive ads, there they are! I have interacted with multiple customer service reps (Emilie especially) and instead of attempting to troubleshoot appropriately, they give a non helpful response by saying that I can request a refund from the App Store. I’ve given them screenshots of the messages I receive when attempting to restore my subscription and it’s the same, robotic response. They even said that they would route my screenshots to their ‘Digital Media Team’ for investigation. When I asked them whether they will communicate to me their outcome, they stopped responding!! So the result is, they take your paid subscription money and show the ads anyway!! I do NOT recommend spending money to be rid of ads on this app. It’s unethical because even when you cancel your membership and try to refresh the app thru uninstall/ reinstall - instead of it recognizing you are already a member, it prompts you to pay another membership fee. Unethical.

REALLY DISLIKE THE new format!!. I liked this app the way it was before (that’s why I bought it!)....But yesterday—without my choosing to update the app—it suddenly changed. The daily format now has a dark blue background with a row of vertical bars lined up side by side which for indicating daily temps. I SO do NOT like this format. I selected this app BECAUSE i liked the general format the way it was when I purchased it. To change it completely is essentially to tell folks “you must not know what you like”...we will give you something completely different after the fact. It would be like the manufacturer of a car suddenly changing your car model and color a few months after you bought it. Now I will need go back online and start looking to buy a weather app that has a format I like and then delete this app that I have already purchased. What a bummer! My suggestion to developers is to tweak the app you have created with some improvements or bug fixes as may be needed. And that you can safely assume that almost all the folks who bought your app chose it BECAUSE they liked as it was. If you want to created something completely new, start with a new app—do Not completely re-configure the old app!!

Was a 4, now a 3. I don’t much care for your recent update. It takes too long to finish loading and updating so I can actually get current info. You took away the feature that lets you pull down on the screen for update. You changed the order of the allergens (why would you do that? I had the order memorized, now I have to read each one). You removed the phases of the moon. I do like the “today, tonight, tomorrow” feature. I’ll see how I feel about it all when I get used to it. But the last thing I needed in my life right now was more change. Update: got a notification that I got a developer response. But I don’t see any way to access it. Oh well. Might try a different weather app. Oh. To add to the above comments, I now have to scroll to see the humidity. Didn’t need to before. Nuisance. 2nd update. Finally read the developer response. I don’t know if it displays to the general reader, but my take on it was, “Our technology is more important than what you want. So we’re going to push our technology.” That’s not a quote, but my interpretation. Mr/Ms Developer, I have seen your glowing statements about how everybody just loves the new update. That’s not what I’m reading in the reviews. FYI, people really don’t like being lied to. I’m going elsewhere for my weather.

Awesome update to a great app. I have been traveling the USA with my family of 5 in a pop-up camper for the past year or so. We are sensitive to weather changes as we try to follow it around trying not to be too hot or cold or wet or dry. For months after we left home, I tried numerous weather apps simultaneously, comparing them for accuracy and ease of use and features. Sometimes I would try to use one exclusively for a while to see how it fit my flow of searching for the next location with good weather. I found the accuweather app to fit the right balance between being simple enough to use without headache and powerful enough to find specific conditions in new location. So I have happily subscribed and been using this app for the past 7 months or so without much complaint. The new update was teased a few days ago and I’m super excited about all the new changes. Somehow it has become incrementally more intuitive and easy to use while I find myself accessing old features in new ways. Very happy with it all.

Bad upgrade. I downloaded this app about a week ago. I loved it. It was clear, most of the information was on one page, and you could see a long-term detailed forecast by using a sliding bar. In the daily forecast you could see over a week at a time and the summary was included of what the day’s weather would be, i.e. “slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms”. I like this so much more than other weather apps that just have an icon for thunderstorm and not tell you that it was only a slight chance in the afternoon. Well, I woke up today and my app was completely different. I did not choose to upgrade to a new version. The new version is much more like other weather apps. More icons to select, no list of detailed information unless you click three or four times to get to it, no sliding bar, and much more searching around for me to find the information I could just see before. I contacted customer service and the answer was that once you have updated to the new app (which I never did) there was nothing to do except use the new app. And that many people like the new app a lot better—and they’re trying to design something that’s better for people. Not so impressive. Deleting this app and looking for a new Weather app.

Unable to manage specific notifications. The weather is displayed in an easy to read and aesthetically pleasing way, but ultimately it is no different than the weather channel app or others rated highly in the App Store. I downloaded this app because I was on the hunt for a weather app that had specific notification settings (ie, UV index alerts, pollen allergy alerts, storm alerts, rain alerts, etc.). I want to pick and choose which notifications I receive and don’t receive. The settings menu is limited to enabling/disabling notifications for local severe weather, government alerts, and weather news. I signed up for the premium subscription in he hopes that the settings menu would expand, but it did not and I was left with the same basic notification options. I want to be able to turn on notifications for UV index. I want to be able to turn on notifications for heavy rain. I want to be able to turn off notifications for light rain. This would be an easy adjustment to make. I would give it 5 stars if I were able to manage notifications of all the information provided.

The Ad situation has gotten absurd.. I’ve used AccuWeather for a looong, long time. Probably since the iPhone 2. So, essentially forever. I’ve mostly enjoyed it. I wasn’t crazy when the newest design hit, and I still miss the local interaction where you used to be able to report hyper-local conditions, but they fine tuned a few things and I got over it. I never paid to remove ads, because I’m not well off (disabled), didn’t need premium, and I figured the ads probably made them more revenue than a flat fee would anyway. My infinite regrets for giving you guys my eyeball money for all that time is now deeply heartfelt. Not only are the new Ads **incredibly** intrusive and obnoxious to a degree rarely seen outside of freemium money grab “games” (full page, won’t let you “x” out for periods of time, play loud sounds even when you’re on silent etc) but you also can’t pay a flat fee to get rid of them anymore, and those of us who didn’t pay before aren’t “grandfathered” into anything except advertising. Quite a “screw-you” to those of us who’ve been with you for so long. I’m disabled… all I want is accurate info that I can see without waiting for a full-screen advertisement to ALLOW me to control my device, so I can do what’s necessary to get my plants/pets/partner safely and comfortably where they need to be when things turn. I guess that’s too big of an ask?

“Wow AccuWeather”. My, my, am I pleasantly surprised today. I have been looking for years for an ACCURATE weather app that has animated weather conditions and finally by a chance view of an MSN sponsored ad (ads I never look at) I find AccuWeather. I’m amazed at the accuracy, appearance and ease of use of the app. It’s not overwhelming in its delivery and yet more detailed delivery is readily at your fingertips if you so choose. Can’t wait to see how accurate the rainy season of Southern California will be reported. To make this app beyond great please, please, pleeeeeeease give us the option to add weather sounds to go with your AccuWeather forecasted conditions even at a premium. A lot of us live in places where we miss the sounds of a windy day, or a rainy day, or a lightening stormy day, or the sound of ocean waves. Just imagine the comforting sounds for many people. I added other areas that have lots of weather change patterns to my AccuWeather app list just to see the different weather conditions. I am so looking forward to hearing them as well someday soon.

Review after new software. After your software update I can't even figure out how to get the hourly anymore and the layout is so confusing that I think I'm going to eventually delete your app. Even write the app function is very strange because I filled it up previously and I try to hit send and it would not send and then a week went by and I wanted to write you guys and when I hit the rate function up comes the old stuff I typed so I hit send and it sent, success. But then I wanted to read it now after your new software and I hit the rate button, and again up pops the old stuff that I did last time. So I don't know what's going on with your apps but even this reading thing I'm using an iPhone and the text doesn't scroll up so I can't even see if the speak and text is working properly because you don't have it designed so that it scrolls up so I can see what I am saying even that is really weird and annoying your whole app is completely annoying you wrecked it when you had the software upgrade but even before that in northern Wisconsin you guys were never correct he said it was gonna rain and it doesn't rain your percentages are completely different than the weather channel. You better fighter software engineers and start over.

July 2020 update is terrible. My app updated automatically last week. I did not like the new look, but I can get used to it. The look, the layout, the new buttons to get to each aspect are just not good. I especially do not like the new look for the “Daily” tab. The absolute worst part, and this will most likely be a reason for me delete the app and do with something different is the Apple Watch component. I have Accuweather on the face of my watch. I used to be able to tap on the current temp and it gave the high for the day. Now it just tells me the current temp (and current real feel) and the chance of precipitation for the next hour. I used to get that information along with the high for the day before. The update took away half of the available information that was available on the Apple Watch. Another thing, and I don’t know if this is a “me” thing, an Apple issue, or Accuweather issue, but Accuweather says there is an update available in the App Store. I have logged in four times and updated and it still says to update. I log in just fine. The app loads, the little circle fills up, and everything else and then it still says Update. That is a minor issue to me because it could just be me or it could be Apple.

Gone to NOAA APP. Had to move to the NOAA app, since all of the complaints including mine, fell on deaf ears. While the previous version of Accuweather that displayed written 10 day forecast and had the interactive circle that you could drag around to the exact minute precip would start for your location (and was amazingly accurate), were much loved and easy to read and that version was so easy to navigate, the new one is just a fail in every way. The closest I can find to what accuweather used to have is the NOAA app, so have moved on. It’s about a 4 star site. Accuweather used to be a 5-star, but the developers who thought they had to copy lesser sites, took a good format and ruined it. Now zero stars from me. If you wanted to add a little color, that would have been fine, but the set up was already the best one out there. I just don’t even get the point of the temperature bar graph thing. It’s rather stupid and so is the replacement graph on a second page for the minute by minute precip dial. Having worked with weather, radar and METAR in the aviation industry for 35 years, I find this hard to navigate, dumbed down version, a waste of my time. I want a site that gives me the maximum information in the fastest and easiest navigable format possible. Recommend everyone checkout the NOAA app.

Much better weather apps out there. I now use AccuWeather for looking at the videos. I have several better apps for Weather forecasting and weather conditions. But I think I’m finally going to trash it because the videos don’t tell you anything... I’ve complained about this several times and, of course, never received a reply but... why are videos posted with no indication of where the event is happening???? Pretty or sensational, or disastrous pics and videos mean absolutely nothing not knowing where the event is taking place. Unless the event is being covered by news or weather people who explain where they are, it’s pointless. Case in point... a person we know that lives in NYCity is out of town. I sent them the flooding video today. They had no idea where it was or if it affected their area. Would have been nice to know. Spend some time addressing this issue if you want your app to be worth using. You can get better weather conditions and forecast with dozens of other apps (which I do use for actual weather). The video postings could make yours worth using. I’ll hold out a while longer before I trash AccuWeather.

Quality Has Gone A Bit. The AccuWeather app was once, the “Rolls Royce” of all weather apps a few years ago. It’s mostly stayed that way and, to be honest, I still use it frequently. But the user experience has definitely waned as more “advances” in design and capability have been given developer precedence over user functionality or even friendliness. Just because something is new, doesn’t always mean it’s better or has “evolved.” Case in point, the one area where I suspect most people use this app is in its radar feature. But even that notable feature has operationally declined as whole swaths of radar sweep detection in large geometric shapes are either missing or the result of damaged or faulty radar equipment. This has become more frequently noticeable in the Los Angeles area with ever expanding areas of missing data. The problem appears to be getting worse rather than being fixed. And there’s not even a system alert notice which could indicate to the user that data retrieval is missing due to repairs being conducted on equipment. It’s truly a shame for a once effortlessly flawless app.

What happened to Minutecast?. Really disappointed to see Minutecast change from what it was before. The ability to rotate clockwise by using my finger was very useful in timing the exact moment I could safely take my dog out (he hates rain!) It was useful in many other ways and was really the thing I loved most about this app. It seems Minutecast has transitioned to a bar graph which is not as user friendly imho. Also not clear if this bar graph is specific to my exact location now. Landscape-only view on iPad also makes this app an inconvenience to use. Overall, this update is a move in the wrong direction and will have me looking for alternatives. UPDATE Dear “Developer:” Thanks for the condescending response (awww... “change is awkward”). I’m not a moron, I figured out the new bar graph, the point is that your awkward change is not for the better. You didn’t address the iPad landscape-only issue; I suppose that’s another awkward change. Take a look at all the other overwhelmingly negative reviews after this update. Are all your loyal users just idiots like me for voicing their reactions to your awkward changes? If you really care about what you produce, don’t be so dismissive of the users who have supported you in the past. One bad review speaks 100 times louder than one good review.... and you now have an awful lot of bad reviews.

Exactly what I was looking for and more. I was looking for a weather app that would not only provide ACCURATE weather throughout the day and week, but also provide an allergy forecast, since I have pretty severe allergies. This app has done both of those, and done them well. It also has a small section on the Sun and Moon, and tells you the moon phase for the night. That is extremely beneficial for me, and is a feature I did not expect to find. I just saw an ad pop up to get 10 extra days of forecasts if I sign in with my Facebook, so I’m assuming I’ll have to pay for this at some point? Can’t be sure, but even if I do, I’m going to keep the app and pay for it, because it’s wonderful. It’s extremely simple and easy to use, and nice to look at (light and dark themes are also a bonus). I used to have this app a long time ago because it used to give a migraine forecast as well, since I get migraines often (don’t see that anymore, but that’s totally fine since my migraines are often related to the weather and allergies, and the app provides forecasts for both of those), and completely forgot about it. So happy I found it again! I know it’s odd to be so excited about a weather app, but trust me, when you have horrible allergies, arthritis, asthma, eczema, and migraines (yeah and I’m only 24, can’t imagine how bad I’ll be when I’m in my 70s), an app like this actually helps a decent amount so you can prepare for things a little bit.

App is great but “RealFeel” is misleading. I do love the minutecast format (which is usually correct) and the overall look of the App. Unfortunately, for the past few weeks the RealFeel temperature has been absolutely wrong. And I mean off by more than 10-15 degrees. I first noticed it on a day when the RealFeel was expected to stay in the single digits all day, but the lowest the App ever got to that day was 16. Thinking it was just warmer than they predicted, I ignored it. But the last few days have been bitterly cold, again with single digit RealFeel predictions. Again, the past 2 morning the App has shown the RealFeel temps at around 15-17. However, THREE other weather apps currently say the RealFeel is between 3-5 degrees. That’s well over a 10 degree difference which is a HUGE difference in the winter, and very frustrating. I don’t understand how they it information is so off compared to several other Apps. We’re expected to get a few days of small showers this week, and Accuweather makes no mention of some of those snow showers. If it ends up that it does snow those days, and they’re not predicting snow like every other app, then it’s kind of pointless to keep Accuweather around.

Version 14 Kills This App. Terrible!. UPDATE 7/8/20 - Version 14 Well as most apps tend to do these days, they completely redesigned their app and it is now worse. I had to update my review to just one star. The complete redesign is a step backwards in my opinion. The details/current conditions area on the homepage is now below an ad and doesn’t let me change the information I want to see there. The sunset and rise times are above the current conditions area which is ridiculous, that should be at the bottom. Plus since I can’t choose which weather details I want to see in the current conditions section, the dew point is no longer there. I have to tap more details and go to a second page to see the dew point value. The minute rain cast is way to prominent at the top of the page. The reason I originally started using this app is because I could choose what weather details I wanted to see and they were placed right at the top of the app for me to see in an instant of opening the app. Now I have to scroll past an ad and tap more details before I can get the information I want. Just let us choose what sections we want and want details we want in each section and in what order we want each section to be displayed in! Major failure! I’m uninstalling!

Could be a 5/5 but. First of all they seem to be simplifying whatever source data they use to the point where it’s flat out wrong. Multiple times I’ve glanced at the conditions that said “NO rain in the next hour” only for it to change 10 minutes later to “rain FOR the next hour”. If there’s a chance of precipitation in the area currently, why tell me there’s no rain coming with such inappropriate confidence? Would it kill them to say “probably” or “maybe”? I spend a lot of time outdoors and these nuances matter. Second the throwback full screen ads that if you accidentally touch it they open god knows what sketchy sites are a safety hazard and feel like something from another era. I might have considered upgrading, I do it with other apps where I feel like the developer deserves it, but I don’t want to reward this kind of strategy. Who knows what kind of malware I might get by accident some day. So instead I use other means to avoid the ads, sorry not sorry. Otherwise it’s a really attractive looking app and super easy to use when the ads aren’t being super sleazy, it has so much potential it’s a shame.

It has some issues. I paid for the ad-free version, but every once in a while I start getting ads. Just now I tapped Hourly report and it gave me an ad for Chrome. Close that and now there are ads mixed in with the hourly data. I had to hit Update Now -> Restore Subscription and restart the app to make the ads go away. This happens every few weeks. A Severe Weather alert popped up, but when I tapped it to get more info, it gave me a message that it couldn’t retrieve the data I was looking for. Seriously? A thunderstorm that wasn’t supposed to happen until tomorrow (as predicted by AccuWeather) is blowing in now, but your app refuses to give me any details? Update - I’m getting ads again, only now there is no “Restore Subscription” option. I guess that’s what I get for contacting support. They removed the option so now I’m forced to see ads even though I’ve paid to remove the ads. Forget it. I’ve deleted this scam of an app and canceled my subscription. It seems to get less and less accurate as time goes on anyway. I’m tired of seeing a prediction of rain so I leave the motorcycle at home when I could’ve enjoyed a nice sunny day or worse, the app insists it’s going to be sunny and warm all day so I take the motorcycle and get rained on. I’m going to find a different app. They’re more interested in making money then providing a quality app.

So so app. I was a regular user of Storm, but they deleted the ad-free option so I tried AccuWeather. Nope, It’s worse. The forecast, regardless of the name is no better than any other weather forecast, which is to say poor. A few observations: There is no option that I’ve found for displaying wind speed. The cloud cover is truly odd, lighter cloud cover has darker opacity and heavier cloud cover is lighter opacity, huh? That’s the opposite of what it should be. I’ve got the Premium version and it offers a 25 day forecast, well isn’t that special. The weather forecasters have trouble with tomorrows weather and they think they can forecast 25 days out? For entertainment purposes only. I get FAR too many severe weather notifications, many more than I get in Storm. Most of them are repeats, if a winter weather advisory is posted at 9:00 AM I get a notification right away, if I turn the screen off I will find another notification the next time I open it, for the same original advisory. Once is enough, thank you! Finally, the radar is pretty worthless, sometimes there’s nothing there when there should be, other times while playing the past couple of hours some of the “slices” are missing so the rain/snow is hurry jerky. When I check Storm’s radar it’s much better. Sorry, but this app is pretty sad.

Used to be great, now not so much. Has anyone else noticed that if you sort the reviews by “most recent” instead of “most helpful”, the reviews are ALL one star and very negative? Am I the only one who’s figured out that negative reviews get purged about every two weeks? Is anyone else getting tired of seeing 4.9 stars on everything, no matter how rotten it actually is? As so many others have said, this used to be a fantastic app. Up until about a year ago, the forecasts were uncannily accurate, the futurecast radar was brilliant, and the severe weather alerts were timely and reliable. It’s completely changed though, sadly. Now the forecasts are so unreliable they seem almost randomly generated. There’s a seemingly endless stream of unnecessary alarms about dire threats way in the future which don’t materialize, and when severe weather does happen, we get no warning at all! The radar has become a slow, glitchy, low resolution shadow of what it was previously. And most annoyingly, when an urgent emergency severe weather alert gets pushed to my phone, clicking on it opens the app to a page that tells me the alert can’t be downloaded!? This app is a major disappointment and a waste of money, though it previously was superb. Please make it great again!

Horrible Update July 2020. This weather app used to be my favorite after downloading pretty much every weather app in the top 20. The old version had a clean, easy to read interface, super accurate forecasts. Sadly, nothing good lasts forever. Absolutely despise the latest update (July 2020). There is a new “Casper” logo on the load screen so I assume they bought Accuweather and ruined it. (Why on earth is a mattress company buying a weather app???) The new layout of information makes it MUCH harder to get all the info I want at a quick glance, and really isn’t that the point of a weather app? I used to be able to open the app and immediately see what I needed, now it takes multiple taps to different pages to find what I want. Also aesthetically, I can’t fathom why they chose to make it all blue with very thin white font that doesn’t stand out at all against the background. No customization options. And they added unnecessary sections like the dreaded “top stories” section and allergy info that is completely useless to me and just crowds my home page, with no customization option to remove it like some apps have. Really irritated I now have to delete this after upgrading to premium. Don’t fix what ain’t broke Casper.

The Problem with developers.... ...is that you mess with the wrong aspects of a product all in the name of “improvement”. This update is an #EPICFAIL! 2nd time I am writing this—wrote one yesterday and it’s not showing up. I am disgusted— you ruined an amazingly efficient UX and visually appealing app to replace it with a monochromatic, clunky ad-riddled version that looks like 1985. For what??? Even more insulting are your canned patronizing responses to the loyal users who have come to rely on this app. Let me help you. Based on your copy/pasted robotic answers: 1) no, we are NOT resistant to change, we LOVE innovation, but your update is terrible—you have to accept this. 2) we will NOT get used to it/learn to love it—I already DELETED mine and hope EVERYONE else DELETES THEIRS so you can understand the severity of your error 3) you have NOT made it easier for us to use and we DID not ask for these changes as you so state. Why do you have SO many negative reviews if most users asked for these changes? Not buying it. Had you actually consulted us to find out which features were essential or asked users to test it, I am sure we would not be where we are. I’d like a clear non-canned response —I am formally requesting an update BACK to the previous version. Thanks.

Weather. I get the MOST ACCURATE weather from this App ! Many weather channels & apps to choose from . I use to go by other sources , but most of them never told me the REAL WEATHER ,LIKE ACCUWEATHER DOES .It also gives more information about what to except on Winds ,Rain , Snow , and with Hourly , Daily or Weekly . So when it’s time for a Vacation or just going out shopping for the Day , I know exactly what to wear , and what items , like a Umbrella or Jacket for the cooler weather in the evening. I Have DELETED ALL MY OTHER WEATHER APPS with mistrusted details ! This one App tells me everything I need for any Outing .Makes my Days Happy , when I’m prepared .Went to Family Reunion, Very Nice Warm 80’s Weather , until the middle of outside Reunion. It started to pour down the rain , and chilled off quickly .I had a change of warmer clothes ,and raincoat & rainboots ,with a Umbrella in my Car .Sure made me tell everyone about Accuweather ,when they all kept asking me , how did you know to be prepared for a such a sudden change ! I felt like I was the Smartest Person Out Of the Whole Family ! Thank You Accuweather , you are my Daily Best Friend ! Shelley H .

New UI/UX is garbage. Update 8.1.22: I had gone back to this app for some reason. Now it’s even worse they’ve moved key weather alerts to the premium plus package. The pop-ups are insane and more intrusive than ever. The widget now only shows current conditions. I prefer the forecast highs and lows. The hourly wheel is confusing and flashy, but not really helpful. The almanac data is no longer in an intuitive spot and requires hunting for each time even several weeks after the change. No forecasted wind or humidity just current conditions. This feels like they watered down the info to a third grade level. I want back the data that makes a forecast whole. I’ll hold on to see if they at least bring back a forecast option for the widget, it’s useless now. Further insult is that this app is now non-functional in all but the best internet connections. With two bars of LTE it would not load anything. I used to rely on the app for 24 hour plus forecasting in remote low service areas. It used to function reliably in those environments with even just one bar of LTE, no longer. I don’t see this app lasting for me. Another victim of needless polishing what’s already shiny and valuing form over function.

Not so Accu. I’ve used this app for a long time. I really enjoyed the radar feature provided. But the daily and weekly forecast is so far from accurate, I don’t feel confident using the app anymore. I understand the concept of “predicting weather” so that isn’t the issue. The issue comes from comparing it to three other weather apps at the same time. I didn’t start this comparison immediately, but time and time again the app failed to reliably provide “accurate” forecasts. When I started comparing to other apps, I noticed a trend. The three other apps were similar in forecast, but this app was so far away from them, it brought many doubts. For example, this app stated there was a 77% chance of rain on a particular day, while the other apps were 24% and lower. Technically, a 77% chance and a 24% chance are the same thing, if one understands what “a chance” for rain means. But, I personally plan my activities based on that percentage. If it’s higher, I’ll choose indoor activities, and if it’s lower I’ll choose outer activities. The example I gave was only one of many. I give this app three stars because it isn’t a bad app and has some good features, but it also isn’t “accurate” when it comes to forecasting.

Used to be better. This app was good. I paid for the premium version and then they changed it. They then wanted me to pay for the premium version again!!I contacted the developers to request the upgrade as I had already paid but they said they couldn’t help. The version I have now is so cluttered with advertising that it’s too messy to use. I was hoping for the extended forecast that you can get on the desktop version.

The latest version is disappointing. I used to really like this app - I loved that as soon as you opened it it gave you a moving picture of the current weather: raining or sunny or a starlit sky at night. And right underneath it gave you hour by hour forecasts for the day and then a 10 day forecast. Now the background is just a boring blue screen and you have to scroll down for a long time to see hour by hour or 10 day. You used to just be able to see it at a glance. It’s a disappointing change for what used to be a good app. I’ll be looking for an alternative app now.

Accuracy is Amazing. I use this app mainly as a long range forecaster of wind, cloud cover and rain. I fly light planes and my friends are amazed how I can pick good flying weather two and sometimes even three weeks in advance. Of course, weather always has its unpredictable aspects but generally, accuweather does what it promises. When I tell my friends about it, they usually get the app.

Love love this weather app. Wow beautiful UI and very accurate weather here in Australia, Sydney. Love all the widgets it offers and I'm a paid subscription. Keep it up guys and I think nothing needs to be changed but only 1 thing you can add to a widget is a radar if you could that would be awesome. 🙏👌☔️⚡️🌝

Accu weather. Just wanted to say that AccuWeather team have done an amazing job on this update, I’m a Tower Crane operator in Melbourne, so this is very informative and is extremely important to me that accuracy is paramount to give to my work colleagues first thing in the morning on our prestart. Any improvements that will make it more better in all aspects moving forward in the right direction is fantastic. Keep up the good work. Cheers Luke De Felice.

Most Advanced in the market. I ride a motorbike and scooter (and I do doordash) so staying on top of the weather is important to me. This app is the most advanced and gives the most ACCURATE telling of the weather which has helped me immensely in navigating my day (when to ride, when to Dash etc). It has so many helpful features on the Radar page- I honestly cant believe how informative this app is. Would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could!!

Love this App. First thing I do every morning is checking this App for the weather of the day. It’s also convenient when travelling because you automatically get the weather at your location

AccuWeather. This is probably the best weather app available on Oz. Even the radar is predictive and the graphics are amazing. Easy to see the passion of the producers. I didn’t write the above but I agree with it. Easily the best weather app I have seen! Superb graphics, intelligent design. Love the predictive radar. Top marks!!!

Good but.... It displays the weather from the government source. It does update quickly but is only as accurate as the free data it tries to resell. Long range forecasts change regularly. The interface is cluttered and requires too much scrolling. The ad removal price is way steep for such a basic functionality. Now WARNING: Whatever you do, don't tap on the ads. Some of them are from truly shonky companies who've be shamed in forums all over the net for bad practices. If you're in Oz grab BOM Weather as a very accurate, ad free app.

Please bring back the 4 day linear rain probability graph!. Had the paid version of this app before the last major update. Loved the rain probability graph that gave a 4 day prediction in a linear fashion. I work outdoors with shift work and used the look ahead to plan my work. Unfortunately this has disappeared in the update and been replaced by a lot of ads which i had already paid to remove. The rain forecast information is still there in the hourly forecast however is not in an easy to digest view, requires a fair bit of scrolling and referring to dates etc. Have consequently switched to Windy TY but keep checking back to see if this app has improved. Will update review if things change.

Don’t waste your time with this version. I bought the previous version of this app and felt it was worth the money. However the latest change to the weather radar map is very poor in my opinion. It doesn’t seem to reflect the data from the official government website. Admittedly I am using an iPad air2 with latest software. Perhaps the app is unable to run effectively on this hardware.

Glitzy update not as useful. This latest update certainly looks slick with more colour, dials, bar graphs and the like ... however I can not figure out how to personalise it to show the info I’m most interested in seeing! The real feel (with its new real feel shade) is lovely but I also want to know the UV rating. (and predictions for hours through the day) as well as how rain has accumulated during the day/night. Not impressed with this “upgrade” that feels slick but missing real info - I prefer the old system that I could configure. And to add insult to injury I am now getting ads; despite buying the upgrade version to avoid this and when the ads pop up they interfere with downloaded aspects of the app! All in all I am highly disappointed, frustrated and annoyed on multiple fronts! Very poor form AccuWeather - you are turning me away from continuing to be the loyal and promoting customer I have been for years!

Used to be Good But...is getting worse. The intentions are good and the interface looks great and is readily useful. However the Melbourne radar does not communicate with the app and this effects the rain predictions as in there are none anymore. Di it does not pick up the very rain I end up walking in. Yet if I look at the AustralianBureau of Meteorology does work so I have to go to that app and sure enough it sees the rain. I have three weather apps yours would be my preference when it works as it is great when it does. However each time I begin to rely on it, it lets me down. That’s why I have to keep checking on the BOM radar or ‘Windy’

Terrible since the UX redesign. This used to be by far the best weather app but now it is totally ruined. The old app used to give you a text based summary of the day on one screen (e.g. sunny with an afternoon storm) but now you have to go to daily, then click on the day and then scroll through each of the morning and night tabs. You could quickly check using the old app but the new one requires too much user input to navigate to the information you need. As a paid up premium user I am deeply disappointed and will have to look for a replacement app. I would love and option to go back to the old UI.

Would like more good things. Love the app design and layout. Would like easier access to tide info (I can’t seem to find it at all) to help plan fishing trips. Also used to Barometric pressure in Hectopascal rather than Millibars yet I can’t change this unit in settings. Overall a useful addition to my forecasting apps but I have to use other apps for tides. I have my own weather station at home and I like to compare the forecast data to my local data. Bit nerdy but it does no one any harm.

Excite app. This app is far better than any other free weather app I’ve used. I really like the long range forecast and the different options you have such as feels like, precipitation, humid and other various options.

Terrible app support. Since the latest update, the weather on this app has been very inaccurate for NSW. The help process was a time consuming waste of time asking for more information from me in a computer generated response, rather than actually checking my report for what I had already provided. If you want more stuff, ask for it up front in your reporting process. Deleted!

The best weather app there is.. I have tried more than 16 weather apps and AccuWeather is the most accurate there is. Full stop. From hourly forecast to 14 days, videos, warnings, and much more to explore. You'll love using it.

Love the new update. What was a good app is now fantastic following the recent update. All the info I need in an easy to read format. Great user experience!! One suggestion is (if it’s not already available) the ability to see local news items (I’m in Australia).

Ok interface but really lacks accuracy. I rode up Mont Ventoux, France and it was cold at the top, but the ‘real feel’ claimed 18 degrees. It was nowhere near that, and the organizers of a Gran Fondo ride that was finishing at the top were handing out those foil space blankets for the finishers. It was freezing; more like a temperature of 6-7 with the wind chill effect. Their figure was dangerously misleading. Fortunately I packed sufficient clothing, but I pity those who did not. This app has been a disappointment compared with ones I use in Australia.

Amazingly accurate. This app is amazingly accurate and amazing. A lot better and more accurate than apples own app. Totally recommend this app.

More data needed. The interface is pretty clear simple and usable, there is just not enough forecast data to make this a planning and tool of choice for me. For boating, fishing, canoeing for example tide, hourly wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure and UV index would be extremely helpful. These could easily be options on the hourly page so those who don’t want or need additional data don’t have to have clutter. Perhaps a set of different activity profiles that would provide a selection of data? Thanks for working on it.

New update makes things hard to find. I don’t know why the app appearance was changed, but it’s basically an entirely different app now and even though my settings are dark mode, the app is still too light and low contrast. It’s disappointing because I’m a premium user and if I was downloading this app for the first time, I’d uninstall it and look for something else. I’m looking through it and so many features that I relied on are missing. There was a graph that showed the temperature which is gone, the white icons make it hard, as with my disability the removal of visual temperature changes makes the app useless. Clearly there was no disability consultation when making these changes.

Idiots.. Two to three days ago this app notified me that the clocks would go forward on March 14th (2021). I’m in the UK and my daughters and grandchildren are in Australia. So I thought, great, it’ll be a bit easier to catch my granddaughter before she heads back to Uni. Only these morons sent me the clock change notification for the US instead of the UK. If they don’t even know what time it is here, how are they going to know the weather?! And they even trademarked the phrase “superior accuracy”! Lol. Which means I’m about to delete their app for good. Cheers.

Brilliant update. This latest update of Accuweather has greatly improved the look and feel of the app. The interface is clean and minimalist in appearance but manages to beautifully capture all the relevant information on the one screen. I like having the 120min rain forecast ring presented with the current conditions together with the day’s forecast immediately below. The hourly, daily and monthly long range forecast views are nicely presented. The weather radar looks even better, providing, rain, satellite, cloud, or water vapor views. Or an enhanced view that is a combination of all of the above. The placement of the navigation buttons along the bottom of the screen makes navigation between the major functions intuitively easy. All together a brilliant update on an already impressive weather app. My appreciation to the developers. I highly recommend this app.

Obnoxious ads in the paid tier. Looking for a more precise weather forecasting app, I went on to trial AccuWeather. The amount of ads in the free tier is pretty horrific. But I get it, they need to make money somehow. So i went on to trial their paid tier. And what do you know - the ads are still there! Turns out they have yet another paid plan, which costs even more and removes the ads. Thanks, but no thanks. There is a balance to strike between reasonable subscription fees and just being greedy. Alas, AccuWeather gets it entirely wrong.

Sydney Radar not Working. The radar that covers Sydney, Australia is not working correctly. It is not showing precipitation which is impacting the precipitation forecast for the accuweather app. It’s currently raining heavily in Sydney but the radar shows no rain at all. I have checked other radar apps which show the rain but accuweather is showing nothing at all. This has been the case for a month now. I’ve removed the app and reinstalled and still not fixed.

Good but not amazing…. I’m on Premium, but every time I open the app I get a full-screen prompt (albeit ad) to upgrade to “Premium +”. Getting very tired of this and highly considering canceling my subscription. Doing this sort of aggressive tactic is the “premium” way of getting rid of existing customers-in my opinion.

They just destroyed the best weather app. The new Accuweather is NOT beautiful, it is now unuseable on my iPad Pro... Clear large colourful weather icons for each day have now been replaced by tiny white icons that all look the same on a solid blue background. The previously excellent Navigation to each section is now a mess and the radar still looks rubbish, it always did. Did anyone who designed this disaster ask real people to try and use it? One of the worst downgrades of any really useful app I use that I have ever seen. They should delete it and revert to the old version while they think again.

Great for a day or 2. I only got this app a few days ago and was it was great for the first day or 2. However the last 2 days have been so inaccurate. Even as I’m typing this, and listening to the rain, the app is saying there is no rain and nothing on the radar. Maybe it doesn’t work on weekends 🤷🏻‍♀️ - I will check tomorrow but not thinking that I’ll be keeping this app

Why force the premium +. I have been a big fan of this app for years but it seems that everything is now about pushing the premium + subscription but if you read the T&Cs it clearly states “feature is only supported in the contiguous United States” so what is the point if I live in Australia. Really disappointed that the developers have gone in this direction. I have also noticed that the more they push the premium + the less accurate the weather predictions have become. So it’s either a way to once again convince you to go premium or it’s because the developers have been investing too much time figuring out ways to charge people rather than studying the weather charts. I really hope they can turn it back around because as mentioned this used to be a really good app.

Very Disappointed. Checked my AccuWeather App today to find my paid subscription now has ads! I understand They’ve introduced a Premium version but in my mind if I had a paid subscription in order to have no Ads, to then introduce them is a breach of the original App conditions, as I understood them. I have deleted my AccuWeather App.

Accu by name, accurate by nature.. Found this App works accurately every time, right down to the address. Forecast of rain to begin is often to the minute! Found the app by chance, will never let it go!

Steve. I got this app about a week ago and upgraded to the premium version only to be let down by an inaccurate forecast. It has been raining in yuleba Queensland Australia for the last 8 hours yet your app shows no precipitation at all. I told my brother about this app and gave it high praises to him to which he purchased the premium version aswell. I think you should change the apps name from accuweather to inaccurateweather

App update! What were you thinking.... I’ve trusted the AccuWaether app for many years. This update is a complete fail. Navigation is so bad, who thought this was a good idea to change what they had..... all I need to do is look at current conditions, wind, is it going to rain and away I go.... pervious version was easy. This version - better I don't say anything about it as I don’t want to appear negative....

No fix for bug . Not happy with customer support. Overall it is an excellent application but the push notification is not working at all. I’ve reported this issue to customer support tram several times but received same response to do some check in application settings. Seems there is a bug a push notification but no one willing to fix it . Very disappointed.

Glitch in new version. I had purchased this app when it first come out, generally a great app but lately had to repurchase, could not restore previous version and still has advertisements.

The only weather to trust.. Only weather app I like and only way I check the weather. If my area has a chance of some sort of danger happening through weather, I am constantly notified and updated on any change for the worst.

Still prefer the previous user interface. I still prefer the old user interfaces of the discontinued version of Accuweather. This new interface still does not work for me and I want to give the app a 1 star rating for it. The data has always been reliable but the user interface spoils this app.

It’s rubbish. The changes made have made it more difficult than It was to see what is happening with precipitation and the temps over the day it looks messy and no where near as good as it was previously.

Used to use this app daily. Now not so much. Sorry guys.. a lot of time and effort went into the new version of the app. But I have to say it’s not that user-friendly (it’s not easy to have a quick glance and see what the weather is doing soon). I find myself not going to this app for weather updates now. I’ll try and stick with it but it’s not quite there for me yet unfortunately.

Previous version was better. New version has reduced number of locations you can have saved / favourited and the hour-by-hour forecast has gone from a nice layout with graphs to a list of numbers that’s hard to follow. Navigation is less intuitive than previous version. Switching back to BOM seeing as taxpayers pay for their work but this app scrapes their data and wants to make money off their work by charging you for it again. They then stuff up the UI to make it look funkier.

Accurate Weather forecasting. I have found AccuWeather to be amazingly accurate at forecasting the rain events. We are able to plan our hiking with confidence that we will either stay dry or encounter minimal rain.

More accurate than the BOM. Love this app!! It’s the only weather app you’ll ever need, and it’s completely free. You do have the option to buy the ad-free version, but the ads are non intrusive & barely noticeable. The animated background of the main (home) screen that reflects the current weather is absolutely gorgeous!! I NEED it as my wallpaper!! PLEEEASE?! 🙏😘

Used to be good. Eight years ago I had to buy the premium app to access the very good features of the app. It was amazing how accurate it was. But now… to access the same features I’ll have to pay an yearly subscription? If you’re willing to create new features I’d completely understand you making the premium+ but taking the old features from the users who already paid for the app is controversial. Unfortunately I’ll be back to the Apple weather, which is being very accurate, with new features and for free! It was once very good, but now it’s time to say good bye!

Instant access to weather when travelling. Great to have a weather app that recognises my location when travelling and provides comprehensive meteorological data. Much better than going into a weather app and entering a location, which may not be as close to my location as this app.

Ironically inaccurate weather.. I’ve used this app for years and it was always pretty good. However since being stuck in Australia I’ve noticed how consistently spectacularly wrong it is - sometimes the various interfaces of the app contradict themselves eg the “next four hours” feature will show no rain while the hourly feature will forecast rain or vice versa. Most of the time tho it will just be wrong on both counts ie i will be looking out my window at a torrential downpour and the app will be telling me no rain expected all day. So pretty useless to be blunt better to just look outside and use your best guess. This might be because Australia is a parochial backwater but still the app should be able to get accurate meteorological data.

Accuweather.. I have been looking for a easy to read weather app for ages. Accuweather has upcoming weather forecasts for 25 days ahead. This app is definitely user friendly. I love the rain radar. Also user friendly. Thankyou to all the developers for such an amazing app. What I also love is the fact that you can set as many different locations as you want. Plus set notifications for those locations. Storm alerts etc. I love this app.

The best weather app. Not only does this app provide clear and accurate weather information who doesn’t want to have that added extra of knowing that the day should be described as ‘sunshine and pleasant’ 😁

Got caught in a storm. This is the third time I got caught out. I was working outside and thought I had a few hours before it would rain but then I was caught in a torrential downpour. I checked the app and it still said just cloudy. No rain until a few hours later. Seriously? This app doesn’t seem to be as accurate as it once was which is a shame.

WAS a great app. Have happily paid the annual subscription for Premium ad-free experience for a few years now. Now, they’ve taken away features offered under Premium and added a new tier Premium+, for another annual subscription fee. It’s a nice weather app, but loyalty only goes so far. Shame, really.

Too much advertisements. They started forcing ad that you have to watch for 5 seconds or whatever. That’s it for me. You’re out. Just uninstalled the app after years being a fan of them. Sorry for your greed.

Lol you gotta pay for it now. This app was garbage to start now they want money for it lol

Ads ads ads ads ads. This used to be a good weather app. Now it is not accurate and bombards you with ads. I would avoid it.

Real reel. The real feel is always wrong for me here in Canada. And has always been for the last 3 years. Figured by now you’d have this issue fixed. The weather Network is always right

Ads ruin it. Not only is the forecasting terrible the ads make the app unusable.

Keeps trying to sell premium option!. Now annoying as hell. Will probably switch to another app.

Money grab. Already paid for Premium and now it’s subscription-based. They make it obvious how they’ve locked features so you get a second class experience if you don’t subscribe. Save your money and do not support this company.

WORST WEATHER APP!. It defaults to Niagara location. WHY???? I AM 130km away from Niagara!!!!!! For this reason alone I’m deleting the app. Not sure if the only way it’ll pick your correct location is by upgrading (and paying)????

Removing features!?. I paid money for the Premium features on this app. This latest update removes the ability to see hourly weather forecasts for more than 24 hours ahead unless I now also pay for Premium+. Completely ridiculous and a poor business move as I will now be deleting this app

Ads? Uninstall!. The only reason I switched to Accuweather was how useless the weather network app had become due to incessant ads and a move away from actual weather content. Now I’m spammed with advertising that’s not even In my language. A blessing perhaps. But I’m not putting up with this. Out you go.

Would Give Zero Stars. My cat could do a better job predicting the weather than this app. Will show 30mm or rain, and then an hour later no rain for the day, then the torrential rain will start 3 hrs later. Or show the next day at 5mm of rain, but then go by hourly and you can add up 2-3 times that amount.

Annoying Subscription Tiers. The two tier subscription is ridiculous. Paying an annual fee 3x the cost of other apps, only to have features withheld unless you pay for another tier of subscription is greedy. Deleting this app and going to the weather network - $4 per year makes way more sense.

Kind of a joke for Canadians. Accuweather is the single least accurate weather app I’ve ever tried. Right at this moment, just as an example, it says it will begin to snow in 32 minutes. It’s 8:13 PM on April 9th in Toronto. It’s seven degrees outside. I’m 24 stories up with an unobstructed view to the west, where I can see a typical beautiful spring evening’s clouds backlit by the setting sun. It will not snow. I am going to delete this garbage.

No English Notifications. For some reason, I cannot get my weather notifications in English. I placed a support call and they told me it was an issue with environment Canada. That was 6 months ago. Sorry… uninstalling.

Insidious. I paid for Premium already. Then they introduced “Premium+”, and in their latest move to try to de-Premium my experience, they’ve pushed the extended hourly forecast feature up to Premium+. If you offer a feature set at a certain Premium price, and then subsequently you want to generate additional revenue, then either build new features into the next tier to try to persuade existing Premium users to upgrade, or simply attract *new* users. Don’t start *taking away* features that existing users already paid for. That’s dirty pool.

Premium + ??? Ridiculous. Paid for the Premium price for the app long ago but now I have to pay yet again for certain views. What a joke. Premium members who paid before should be upgraded automatically. Seriously.

AccuWeather+ not worth the money. My last review of AccuWeather was very good. I think I gave it 4 stars. I also payed for the premium service (it lost a star because every once in a while an add would get through). Now they are asking for $24 (double the cost) and other than the graphics nothing has changed. I’m sorry I fell for it. I was expecting quality improvements. They must think their customers are pretty stupid.

Useless. Cannot load data Get lots of ads instead

Inaccurate information. Right now it is only 21c outside and this app is saying it’s 28c. This app has been totally inaccurate for months. I don’t recommend it.

Moved to Quebec now I only get french language updates. I DONT UNDERSTAND FRENCH.. No french please. Make it an option to receive updates in the same language I have always used for this app. Going to have to delete this app and replace it with another that respects my ability and choice of which language I want communication in.

Sucky upgrade. One of the main reasons I use this app is for the snow or rain timeline. The recent update broke that feature 😟

Paid for no ads. Again this happens. Paid for upgrade so I do not get ads, now ads pop up. New format in the last year sucks. Not recommend as there are free weather apps that are just as good and better. 2023- again paid for no ads. Please fix

Removal of hourly weather. So along with a new useless "view" of the hourly weather you introduced even another paywall that removes all forecast after 12h? Many apps do better than yours already by the way, I just use it because I like the interface. Keep going like this and you'll become obsolete.

Pay for what used to be free or they will stop showing it…. Do not update…I’ve been using this App since the very beginning and now they are removing some content that was always free unless you pay. Charge for new features, but Im shocked that you now charge for what was free for the past 10years. Making money out of thin air I guess :(

Paywall on a weather app?. You’re kidding right? Meteorologists are wrong the most the time, and you want people to pay for that info? People are seriously out of touch these days.

Language Issue. My settings are set to English but yet due to my location, all my “Government Alerts” are in French.

Inaccurate. Honestly I don't bother checking any more. If the app says it's going to rain, I carry my umbrella and rubber boots around needlessly. If it says sunny, I get soaked with rain. I understand predicting the weather can't be 100% accurate, but this is below minimum standards.

It used to be my go to for weather but.... It used to be my go to for all weather reports and its pretty accurate, however since they put up the Tim Hortons ad on start up that locked up the site I have deleted the app and use one that works.

Weather app made complicated. Too many ads on this now, will delete and use free iphone weather app no ads.

Ads are now annoying. This has been my go to weather app for a long time but with the full screen ads and decreased customization that have been added in recent updates I’m less then impressed. I’ll be looking for a different app now.

Why are Premium accounts being shown ads?. I bought Premium a while back, specifically so I wouldn’t need to deal with ads in the app. Now ads are back. Please fix this!

Cash Grab Updates. Each time there’s an update, more and more existing features gets removed and made a premium only. Cash Grab

Used to love it now I hate it!. This app used to be wonderful with totally accurate forecasts and I loved it. BUT Now they’ve blocked almost all the forecast and features in order to FORCE you to switch and buy a premium subscription. Do NOT fall for it! Do not pay them extra money to get a forecast! You can get forecasts from the tv, the newspaper, other apps, other internet services. DO NOT PAY extra for what’s free elsewhere. Try force me to pay for things free elsewhere? Bad move on their part. I WAS thinking about going premium but this stunt they’ve pulled has changed my mind. Now that I can’t see the weather forecast or hourly for weather beyond 12 hours out because I didn’t buy premium I’m quitting them. Attempt to strong arm users into paying will you? Not this user! There are a million other forecast services available, l don’t need you. I don’t need to pay you for a forecast when I can tune in any radio or tv channel at the right time and get weather or turn to the right page of the newspaper or go check the forecast with one of your competitors. You stupidly try and force people to pay for what they get for free on the radio and television? You just made up my mind not to subscribe. Every radio and tv service has 3 day forecasts like you used to, and now you want me to pay for something that’s free elsewhere? NO WAY! Your accuracy may be better then most but what need do I have of you now that you’ve blocked the forecast and hourly and won’t let me see what the weather will be beyond 12 hours when every other place I can go to to get tho weather forecast does let me know the 3 day and hourly weather? No need at all now that you blocked aces to stuff grr elsewhere and have tried to strong arm me into subscribing in order to pay for what I get free elsewhere. No way! Guess what? This stunt just made me choose to rely on a different weather service provider. You can keep your premium! I will not pay for content I can get free elsewhere.You made my mind up for me! I will not subscribe! You have lost me and likely many more because of a stunt that’s pure greed. I can get forecasts elsewhere and will. No one with a IQ above 0 would be stupid enough to pay for what’s free elsewhere. I’m not. Goodbye greedy s.o.b’s. I hope you rot for pulling this stunt of blocking content a person can get free from another weather forecast provider in order to blackmail people into paying for premium!

Paying paying paying !. After paying for premium , they have an invention called premium + to steal more money for basic information that we can easily find on the web ..

Worst app ever. Inaccurate, poor customer design. These guys are trying to monetise the weather. DO NOT PURCHASE.

Messy layout. Way too many ads and constant clutter on screen. Deleting right after this review

Nickel and Dime. This used to be my goto weather app for years. They want to monitize with adds, okay get your $$. Now, these dbags but up pay walls!?! Deleted

Forecast is often wrong. The forecast is incorrect about 5 days a week. Ery disappointing.

Bad. It was a great free app and now they’ve decided that they want money for the same service so they’ve destroyed the free app, you can even check todays weather by the hour anymore without them asking you to pay. I had your app for close to 4 years. Just deleted it for good. Hope whatever you made was worth all the people you lost. Greedy. ✌🏼

Don’t pay for a subscription. They’ll just screw you over like they did countless others. Scammer company and you’d be better off with the Apple weather app.

Pricing gouge. As a premium member, I don’t feel I should have to pay more for a premium + membership to get things like hourly precipitation or wind, which are free from Apple and other weather services.

You’re a Globalist Propaganda Machine. Aiding and abetting in crimes against humanity by pushing a deliberate and false climate agenda. Criminals will get caught and prosecuted to the harshest and full extent of the law - you are criminals!

Profit driven and horrible. They're profiting off violating your privacy and lying about it. This is a company run by awful, awful people. Go read The Fifth Risk and stop supporting this app. There's a thousand others to choose from.

Full page ads. Loved the app until the full page ads. I’m looking for information, not an ad in a language that I don’t even speak.

Latest update. It was working fine and suddenly with the latest update widgets are behind paywall. It was easy to check the weather on quick glance now I have to open the app every time and go through your ton of ads.

Not even close. It is 27 c outside and your app says 20. Really? Not even close.

Started imposing Premium+ everywhere. I am a Premium user for a long time. But now I can’t even see the temperature 12h ahead! I need a Premium+ subscription for that. Uninstalling the app

Update is Garbage. Speaking as a developer, the entire UI/UX team who wrote lines for this abomination should be dismissed. Whoever approved this will have a very short career. Impossible to navigate, impossible to find information. The really useful hourly forecast? Gone. I have no idea what the weather will be like further then the next two hours, let alone tomorrow morning. If you want to hand your customers to a competitor, employ the clowns from the road side circus that developed this ‘improved’ app.

Paywall, paywall, paywall. Decent-ish, but most everything actually useful is locked behind a subscription.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Terrible update. Is there any way to go back to the old version? The new one is awful. Why would you change something that’s not broken? Future radar is a joke, a useless feature on this and other apps. It would be okay if you could turn off the future radar but you can’t. No more easily accessed hourly forecasts as well. The daily forecast format used to be about perfect but is now awful. I will be looking for a different weather app now that AccuWeather has gone the way of the Weather Channel. Part 2 - it’s even worse than I described above. It’s difficult to find any of the information I had come to rely on. An example is the percentage chance of precipitation. One has to go to the simply awful new daily forecast from which it seems impossible to navigate back. Of course the navigation icons at the bottom of the screen appear and disappear randomly. I have now visited W Channel and Wunderground, which are now marginally better than the new AW but much worse than the old. This is an unbelievable screwup. Do you or anyone survey your customers before making a significant change? Apparently not.

New update needs revision. I’m using app for quite a while and its best feature for me was hourly precipitation graphic. I used it to plan my outdoor activities as it provided visual information for the whole day. But with the new update , though it has some advantages like dark mode and more uptodate design, this graph completely disappeared and I’m stuck with list of all weather information per hour and have to scroll through it to get some idea of what comes. Even the apple weather app has it better. Also the icons in the new version lack visual simplicity that older version had. Older icons had yellow sun and blue raindrops so you could easily differentiate weather types and look into hours that mattered the most. Now you have to examine each icon individually as they have zero color difference, they are all white, and you have to look closely at each one which adds anxiety and artificially adds time that you have to spent in the app. The last thing that I can add is that new rain animation looks more like Alien saliva which is funny of course but doesn’t look like real rain That’s my review of the new version.

Review of Accuweather. I am curious to know how in the world u think u have improved this App. I cannot get a simple forecast when I log on but other screens show up and they refuse to disappear. Very frustrating. Never had this annoying problem before. Just looking for hourly, daily and weekly forecast. Not impressed with other screens that pop up. Simple and clean is what a weather forecast should be. I now use NBC weather which is brief and concise. Try looking at your competition and see for yourself. Simple and Clean !!!!! Why do copywriters always think they can do better. It’s the weather, not a Conglomerate of figures and pollen forecasts Also, difficult to find weather forecast in other listed cities I placed in locations. Please return to simple and reliable numbers Quickly upon opening screen without having to change screens that just pop up

Really useful but updated UI is a mixed bag, miss the easy graphics.. Been a happy user for years and rely on the "current weather" opening page for outdoor projects. The update... that page is improved with a more nuanced idea of probability and a nice animated background, but the meat of the information still is made a bit too fine and subtle on the fancy background. The Hourly view tho is nearly ruined for me. They managed to take away a graphic representation of the probability of rain, instead making us search through a column of numbers in tiny type. Inexplicable! The nice "drag and see the probability lines go up or down" is gone!! :( Even the top icons (sun, clouds, etc) are now rendered in super fine low-contrast lines... a big lose if you're trying to take a quick look while outdoors wearing sunglasses, on a ladder or a bike... it's now "peer and squint and try to puzzle it out" time. Bring back the chunky graphics and let me see hourly probability of rain easier, I'm begging you!

Why ruin a good thing?. For years I have relied on the Accuweather app. I consult it every day, morning and night, and frequently in between. It has been part of my routine. No small part of its utility, as with any “go to” app, is the facility with which it can be accessed, which depends on familiarity with its layout. I’ve learned to use it quickly, to get the information I want with minimum of hassle. So it is more than disappointing to wake up this morning and find that this most useful tool is gone, replaced by something totally unfamiliar, and of questionable value. Without warning. Even if this new weather application may, in any sense, be as good as or perhaps, “better” than its predecessor, I now have a burden to learn a new system, to spend my time figuring out how (or if) I can find the information I’m looking for. I didn’t ask for that. This behavior shows contempt for the customer (yes, I know, this is SOP in the tech biz, but that doesn’t excuse it), and I don’t see how it is good practice. Accuweather just threw away one of its best assets: customer familiarity with their product. Since I now have to learn a new app, I might as well explore the apps offered by other providers. Which I will do.

New update is a major downgrade. The new, full redesign is not good. Past radar spills directly into future radar without stopping, this is unhelpful. You no longer can see the dew point without tapping anything. The data layout prioritizes their own “Real Feel” stuff which I don’t care about. The layout on an iPad is locked in landscape which is odd. The stark blue color that never changes is hard on the eyes and the font doesn’t contrast enough to make it easily readable. The biggest problem is that they have the gall to splash notifications on the screen of devices that you haven’t updated yet. These pop ups say “the response to our latest update has been overwhelmingly positive.” This is clearly not the case. All you need to do is go read the reviews and organize them by Most Recent. You’ll see mostly poor reviews with a few immensely positive reviews, and very few in between. It’s amazing they are this upfront with their dishonesty. Wunderground was rendered useless by a “new version” so I wound up here. Now Accuweather has done the same thing. There is no need to change what is not broken when it comes to highly used apps.

redesign is just very impractical. There is literally a ton of weather apps available, the reason I agreed to pay for this one was that it actually allowed me to get a good and quick visual impression of weather changes during the day - loved the scroll bar thingy to move through time & minutecast etc. After the redesign these elements are now gone, and replaced with screen filling useless visual clues (why on earth would I want to see a screen full of large white vertical stripes between min max temps?) and the hourly forecast is some kind of insane table with hundreds of numbers with no visual clues? If one of my students would represent data that way I'd definitely tell them to make a proper graph... So very disappointed and havent used this app since. Accuweather: people buy your specific app because they like the design and functionality - if I wanted and huge tables with numbers to know the weather forecast I would have found an app that has that feature. Updates and additions are good, but this one went over the top and made your product unrecognizable & and it is unclear what you were trying to achieve. You need some good UX people on board...

Still Love the Accuracy, But.... Don’t really care for the new look. The graphics are ugly. I really prefer the previous look. But that is just the graphics and I can live with that. The reason for rating 5-star accuracy at 3 stars relates to the app severe weather notifications. I live in the Norwood section of The Bronx and that is my current location. The MOST annoying thing that happened with the new update is that I started receiving severe weather announcements for every location in my list of favorite locations, and not just my current location. How STUPID can this new update be. Did I have to receive something like 10 to 15 warnings about today’s storm, one after another? These constant notifications wouldn’t stop until I deleted all of my locations except for Norwood. Do I really have to receive weather notifications about Dayton, Ohio when I am no where near there. Please fix this notification issue. I’m sure that I’m not the only user flooded with severe storm notifications.

Good. I’ll use it once in awhile to mainly plan if I’m going to run outside the next morning or stay inside on the treadmill but it is really hard to find the hourly temp. I can find history, the next few hours, and all sorts of stuff. But not hourly. Every once in awhile I’ll stumble on the hourly weather but then when I go back to try to find it again, I spend so much time that I give up and go to a different weather app where it’s much easier to find weather by the hour. Update: I changed my rating from 3 to 5 star. I got a response from the developer. They made a change/introduced a change to to bottom of the screen where it is much easier to find the weather per hour so you don’t have to go hunting for it. It’s right there. So much easier to find. I am very happy to have this change and very much enjoy being able to use the app. Thank you so much!

Real Feel is laughably horribly wrong.. Right now, for example, where I live it’s -31°F. The windchill warning by NOAA is a dangerous -45°. But AccuWeather says the real feel is a warm -20°. It’s not only terribly wrong, it’s leading people to believe it’s not so cold, when dangerous temperatures and wind could kill them in minutes. People have written to the company about this crazy irresponsible reporting for years, but they refuse to change it. This is InaccuWeather. Once the temps go negative, they commonly post warmer RealFeel. If you have ever felt what below zero feels like on your face or skin, I’m sure you didn’t go back inside and say, “Oh it doesn’t feel cold at all. It feels warmer.” Anyone in the frigid parts of the world know that you use experlatives to describe your eyelashes frozen together and the pain of your skin exposed for only seconds. If you said it feels warmer, when you’re in that Mount Everest type of cold, experienced people would be alarmed, as that’s the statement people make before croaking from the cold. The fact that RealFeel directly contradicts National Weather Service Warnings is criminal. Fix your algorithm, you condescending arrogant jerks.

Finally! This is a great app again!. 7 Sep 2017 - I just downloaded the latest version and it's perfect again!! It's been years since it was a 5-star app. But it is now! ********* I just upgraded this from 1 to 2 stars. It is improved, but still horribly cluttered. It shouldn't take so much effort and scrolling just to find out what the high and low are for the day. ********** I just lowered this from 3 stars to 1 (and I used to give it 5)! The advertising is VERY intrusive! VERY! Especially with all the design issues (over-crowding, small font, layout). I decided that it might be worthwhile to pay to remove the ads -- that costs $2.99! I would pay 99¢ or maybe even $1.99 -- like other apps -- but $2.99? No way! Not for the cluttered piece of junk this has become. Which is sad to say about an app that I so strongly used to recommend to everyone… ********** This used to be a great app -- 5 stars from me. BUT… the newest version on the iPhone adds so much stuff but the developers didn't know where to put it all!! It's so cluttered now. The user interface is clumsy, inefficient, and less intuitive. The fonts aren't great, the colors detract rather than add, legends and labels on graphs are way too small. It's far more effort now to figure out what the forecast is for a couple evenings from now, for example. A big step backwards…

Shows news notifications even when option turned off. Accuweather is a fantastic weather app. I got alerts based on my location within my county (instead of the whole county), the radar was great, etc. Solid weather app. However, for the last 9 months or so, it started showing me daily news notifications, such as “Rain’s coming! Here’s what it could mean for your weekend.” As someone with a phobia of tornadoes, this started last summer and it freaked me out every time. Even with the option for news notifications turned off, these came through. I reported as a bug about 6 months ago, which the developer responded to, but I still get them to this day. I just want data from a weather app. I don’t need videos from places with weather stuff happening, I don’t want news at all. Unfortunately, after more than 2 years as a premium user, I will be looking for an app that gives me control over what I do and don’t see for news/videos.

AccuWeather App. When moving from California, which has mild weather so having accurate forecast was not a top priority, to a venue that had extreme shifts in the weather we tested several different weather applications. The one we chose to purchase and use as our primary source of weather forecasting was/is AccuWeather. We were able to plan our trips and days based on the forecast we got, and we have not regretted making the purchase for the Premium membership. We recommend this App to our family and friends because of its precise weather predictions. The only reason we didn’t give it five stars out of five, is because we have not been able to master all of its powerful capabilities. For this, we would humbly recommend the makers of this application to offer detailed tutorials so we may get the full use and mastery of this incredible weather forecast App.

If you hate ads, don’t download this app. I got this app quite a few months ago off a recommendation, I loved the simplicity and the accuracy of it and paid in order to support the creators of it. After a while I saw ads pop up on their app and saw I was still paying for it, that was weird but they did make changes so I paid for their ad free version (which was a bit more than I had already paid and had definitely not exceeded the subscription time)and the ads when away, fast forward a few more months and the ads popped up once again, they moved their ad free experience to their even more expensive tier, I bit the bullet and bought that one just to get rid of those annoying ads. Now we are here, and yes one star, only because I supported the app in the beginning but now this developer has left a bad taste in my mouth. I am paying for the most expensive tier and I have ads. I don’t see a way to remove them and am just sick of seeing them. I will be uninstalling this app and finding another one. If you hate ads as much as I do, don’t download this app, and definitely don’t give them money.

Favorite weather app. This is the best weather app! I’ve been an avid user for over a decade now, and before that I was a frequent user of the Internet version since the 1990s. As an important app on my home screen, I’m always referring to AccuWeather for everything from sunrise/sunset, Realfeel & hourly temperature, storm radar, and Future forecast. With family living elsewhere, I like that we can also check on weather in other regions of the country. When I was involved in a management position where weather could pose a problem, AccuWeather was always totally accurate to the minute when predicting rain, sleet, snow and overall accumulation. I astounded the director as we were both monitors of weather patterns and I was spot on 100% of the time thanks to the AccuWeather app. This is the best weather app out there! Keep up the great work and improvements with every version update and AccuWeather will always be my go-to app for anything weather related.

DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE — NOT DEPENDABLE. Do not put any faith in this app! I looked at this app’s radar every few minutes for an hour tracking a storm in the area. Based on the fact that the radar indicated that the storm would not even approach my location, I decided not to take any action. Not three minutes after last checking the app’s radar, a fierce hail storm broke out with ice the size of ping-pong balls. I ran outside to move my brand new car to cover, as well as my wife’s car that’s less than a year old. Once the cars were protected from the hail storm, I looked at the app’s radar again, and still, 10+ minutes after the hail began to fall, the radar STILL showed no weather in the area. Then, after 12 minutes (total), color magically appeared on the radar over my location. The result: two damaged vehicles which I would have had plenty of time to move had this app been reliable or even marginally accurate. Not only does this make the AccuWeather app unreliable, it makes it dangerous and, at least in this instance, extremely costly. Download this app for entertainment purposes only, and trust it at your own peril.

A must have for anyone spending time outdoors. When my scout troop and I were spending a week hiking the AT a few years ago, we got caught out in a freak storm. Everyone got completely soaked. Next day we happened across some folks in a nearby shelter, all dry and warm. We stopped to talk to them and told them our story of the storm. They told us about this app and how they made a run for the shelter once it the app said a storm was coming. At the next stop I downloaded the app. A day later, still on the on the trail, we were taking a much needed rest. I pulled out my phone to check the app. I told the troop, “Hey guys, the app says it’s going to start raining in less than...” and it started to rain before I could finish the sentence. One of the scouts just looked at me and said, “ now that’s scary”. I swear by this app, still use it all the time to this day. Thanks for a great app! Scoutmaster Dan

Very clean. I think the site is very nice maybe too nice. For the Ocala Villages area many are older and I think when I make the age group I will want things easier. How I can understand is I am a disabled veteran with TBI so short term is effected and my motor skills are 10 years past my present age. So no guessing game just show what is going to happen. I can predict the weather from current radar better than you using the ad method and please it is obvious it is there. The catch the eye but in this instance you are messing with the parents worrying of children and children yes we mostly just watch an episode or so and come back later so you are not getting any profit of anything quantitative value when if you kept people of my watching and placing those ads, well you will see ads soar and we are retired. We will want certain things protection of our family more check ln on news both current and post. Stocks. You have lost old style news it sold .

Update 11.7.2 Shuts Down the App when I try to load Radar. I can’t believe you fixed bugs and added all the fancy features but not only on my iPod Touch but on my new iPad Pro, there’s no screen or offer to have Accuweather to be more precise. Now on my iPod Touch 6th Generation I cant see anything but the home screen with an area close to my home address and I do get the alerts for tornado warnings and flash flood warnings but other than that...your New Upgrade is worthless to me. After it quit working on your update 11.7.2, I did get a notification that my Apple Products had an update to a higher level than 12. Something so I downloaded it on my iPod Touch 6th Generation and my iPad Pro which was bought 2 weeks ago and it didn’t help your fancy new release. Whenever I hit Radar, because Hurricane Michael is hitting Richmond, Virginia right now, I see my home screen. At least on my iPad Pro I can see the Radar but when I go to a store or even just go out, I find it much easier to carry an iPod Touch with me rather than a iPad Pro with a 10.5” screen. At least I know I’ll remove your App from my Laptop the next time I boot it up. 🤬.

Preferred the older version. The update version is less use friendly to the visual person, it was excellent to see rain and temperature displayed on a simple bar chart then. The rain display circle was much more defined in the previous version as well. This update version is something I would have passed up if it was the first time I saw the app rather than update to it, it is more similar to other apps where before the app stood up as unique Addendum to the above: I still preferred the older version of this app more, and have found additional things that are less useful. First, the old app gave a 120 minute rain prediction, the newer app gives 60 minutes. Seeing possible rain for a 120 minutes is better than seeing a more certain 60 minute rain chance. Second, the widget only says that rain could appear in 60 minutes, which it seems to always say, but the older version gave a mini version of the possible rain circle with details. The older widget was useful, this newer one is not giving any amazing useful detail

Loved it then, hate it now..... Why, oh, WHY do app developers insist on fixing what ain’t broken? It’s this weird restless need to do something- anything, and then insist it’s improvement. Don’t they read reviews? It’s the same lament that is so often seen.... the app was great UNTIL.....(fill in the blank). Random changes are not the same as progress! So this was my go-to app. Easy to read and navigate in 2 seconds flat. Now it’s a blinking, flashing, hot mess of bells and whistles, click-bait “news” and ads screaming “look HERE!!!” And they know it’s annoying, they KNOW it.... that’s why they’ll let you opt out for $4 in case you actually want to see, you know. the. weather. I’ve never met an app developer. But as a researcher I’d love to get to know one and figure out how their brains work. They must be an interesting breed to intentionally make a product annoying so you will pay more to avoid the annoyance. It would be brilliant, except.... there are other apps out there, in case you actually want to know, um, the weather (rather than a kangaroo stumbling through floodwaters, the ‘news’ they helpfully provided me this morning.) So....there’s that.

Fantastic app. I think this is a fantastic app. I’m a weather junkie personally and I like to tract storms. This is a very good app to determine the humidity level also the radar is pretty good in the forecast pretty good. I purchased the upgrade and I love it.I do like the allergy forecast since it tells you what’s out there and it’s very good. I highly recommend this app to people. The weather app is fantastic as I have stated already. They did an update for arthritis sufferers and I found that to be very inaccurate. Plus they want you to spend money on it for people who have already have purchased the app. I don’t know why they want them to pay for it? I figured I would try it out and I do find that for my area since I am a arthritis suffer it’s very inaccurate and I don’t trust it. I also don’t trust these weather bimbos also as weather babes because they don’t know what they’re doing and concern they shouldn’t be doing the weather anyways so they’re highly incompetent and their forecast are always inaccurate.

Old Version was Easier, Better. Not sure what the developers were trying to do by launching a new version of Accuweather for iPad, but it’s now more difficult to read the weekly forecast with strange slider-like bars for high/low temps which add nothing but confusion; it’s more difficult to read the current conditions because the font is tighter and smaller; and worst of all, it only works in landscape and not in portrait which is very inconvenient. Even the Minutecast circle is less clear with strange thin bars that are supposed to show you how heavy the rain will be, but is less readable than the former Minutecast circle. At night the background automatically turns black which is annoying, and I can’t find a setting to change it back to a white background. (I’m hoping that it’s a white background during the day.) I haven’t found anything better about this new version. It’s the same info (which has always been great!) laid out in a less user-friendly, less readable format. And did I tell you how much I hate the landscape only format? I’m hoping they don’t make the same change to the iPhone app!

My opinion of AccuWeather app. Completely satisfied! Thanks for being there. I recommend your app to everyone. Love the 4 hour deal. I use it all the time, I’m usually in a hurry so that gives me a fast accurate picture of what I need in the way of clothing, boots, umbrellas, etc. The daily forecast of 2 weeks is so much better than others that only give 5 to 10 days. I need to have an idea of what’s coming for more than a week. I’ve just discovered the monthly forecast and have pointed it out to others. That hasn’t been offered by other sites in the past. Also, the hourly forecast showing real feel temps along with actual temps is great because you carry it further than most and for those of us who have a plant fetish, it’s important to know how many hours in a day that colder or warmer temps will prevail. No complaints here, only praise. Excellent job you’re doing!

Lots of Bugs and Difficult to Navigate. I don’t review things often, but I just really hate this new version. The hourly forecast shows me what the weather will be like in the wee hours of Friday morning and Saturday regardless of what day of the week it is. Because of this bug, I have no idea if any of the other weather data is stuck or if it’s accurately reporting the current and future weather. All of the info you needed was once in the same place. Now I’m having to flip through multiple panes and click additional drop-downs (after scrolling through the imaginary Friday/Saturday bug each time) to try and find out how much snow is predicted (important in you live in Buffalo, NY and need to know if it’ll be safe to travel from hour to hour during storms). Why is there no precipitation listed on the main page at all?? How is it possible for a weather app to not tell you in the third line if you’re going to get an inch of rain today or 6” of snow?? I’ve used this app for more than decade. It was my go-to. It’s pretty much unusable now.

Agree with other reviews regarding new u/x. Have been using the new version for several months now, so this is not a kneejerk reaction review, but like others I don't find the format an improvement. Particularly unthought out to me are the precipitation/cloud icons on the daily forecast. Sure monochromatic looks nice but that means I have to stop and interpret a vector drawing rather than quickly glancing to see yellow for sun, etc. Seems like a lot of choices, like that one, were more about designers trying to make it look modern and aesthetically pleasing, which it does, but at the cost of user experience. It's a weather app, not VSCO. And ofc can't neglect to mention the lack of portrait mode. As even video moves to portrait mode, skipping it is not an improvement, it's lazy. Finally, please don't waste time responding to this - I can live without the condescending "sry you don't like change" that others have received. That's actually why I took the time to review. We are allowed to have an opinion on a paid app, and when there's a lot of the same opinion you might want to start listening rather than defending.

This used to be great. I don’t write many reviews. But after relying on a good app for many years, I must say ever since the start of 2018 it has plummeted. Too many unnecessary and inaccurate warnings, and the rain is barely accurate as well anymore. The temperature is still pretty spot on but besides that theres nothing else really left to applaud. The radar is odd, and only shows for the following hour, not to mention many glitchy aspects that so many people already have pointed out. I am currently looking for another app to replace this one with because these Special Weather statements are too much now. Ever since the start of the year they are over the top. I even got a Tornado warning in my area (which is a hilly area on the east coast that gets a tornado once every few years) and then a second alert five minutes later saying “CORRECTION: Foggy conditions”.... How does one mess up that bad... Not to mention general and regular thunder storms being sent out as Special Weather statements, and then not happening at all. All in all I am just very disappointed in the changes that have happened. This app used to be great, but now it isn’t.

Prohibitive monetization model. I’ve used this app for years, probably as long as I’ve had an iPhone. I liked it because it was more accurate than the basic weather app. However, recently they’ve been monetizing it more and more. At first it was banner ads. Not really an issue. Next it was short clipped ads before seeing the daily cast. Fine, I’ll watch a 10s ad to see the future cast. But this is the last straw: you can’t see more than 12 hrs ahead on the hourly forecast without “upgrading to premium”. That’s honestly outrageous. It’s not even ad-locked. You just can’t look at it, it’s covered by a banner that says “get premium to see”. Keep in mind this is on top of the banner ads and pop up ads as well. The fundamental feature I’ve used this app FOR YEARS for is now blocked by premium membership. Unacceptable. Am I saying the developer should not get money for their service? No. But I’m saying that they’re paring down the features more and more till eventually you’ll need to watch an ad to even open the app. If you want a good free weather app, look anywhere else but here.

Simple and effective. I “fired” The Weather Channel app because it had become more of a super market tabloid than a source for weather information. This one behaves like the Weather Channel app of years ago. Nothing sensational...just weather information that’s easy to find and doesn’t make you wade through screens of ads and apocalyptic weather videos to find current or forecast weather. Having used this app for a year or so, I’ve got the following observations: Pros: Very accurate which is the main thing. Easy access to radar and temperature contour. The tropical storm tracker is great. Cons: I have to join the critics of the landscape-only layout. Here’s a result. When you enter your favorite locations, the first ones entered go to the bottom of the list. Well, I enter the locations most important to me first and those of lesser interest last. So, the ones I want to see first are at the bottom of the list. Couple that with the landscape layout and my most important locations are hidden from view in the pick list. The fix is to enter favorites from least to most important but that’s an unnecessary nuisance. Suggestions: Make changing from one location to another something like the very early Weather Channel apps where you merely had to swipe right to left to bring up the next location in the list. You didn’t have to exit the forecast and go back to a pick list to change locations. So, I dropped my rating from five to four stars. Still good, though.

The PREVIOUS App was Fine. My apologies to the team who put all that work into rewriting this app. The old app was by far more convenient. It’s not that we can’t figure the new app out, it’s just that the developers made it infinitely cumbersome to retrieve data. For instance, in the old app you simply viewed the hourly list. Now you have a choice of 3 views (temp, real, precip) but all in separate views instead of them all in a single view like it used to be; and in order to scroll to see each hour, you put your thumb on a big dot which instantly shifts the time you were viewing to some floating random time. Then you slide sideways while trying to see what time of day the info is giving you. In the old app you simply saw the entire hourly list. Simple. Had putting your thumb on the dot set you immediately at the CURRENT time, but it doesn’t. The ‘cool’ Flash graphics gives a floating feeling until you find out where you are in time. Just too cumbersome. Sadly the new app REPLACES the old app automatically. Maps and videos loaded much better in the old app too. Too bad.

This app worked for a while, but then.... I had AccuWeather for a whole year without any problems. The predictions were always accurate, and everything else seemed okay. But, ever since I got the new AccuWeather update, the app has been all weird. It won’t show me things that I need to see, and the app is a lot more confusing than it used to be. But, this isn’t the problem I’m getting to. Last night I went to AccuWeather to check the forecast for the next day, and the app was completely messed up. I clicked on my city and when I went to hourly, the times and dates were all mixed up. The hourly temperatures started at Friday even though it was Tuesday, and went straight from Friday to Wednesday. The times were all messed up as well. It went from 2am on Friday to 9am on Wednesday and the predictions were not correct. It said that temperatures would be in the eighties but I went outside and it was far too chilly for that to be true. I know this may be just a glitch, but it’s a big issue impacting users.

Too Many Advisories/Warnings for Multiple Cities. Since your “BIG CHANGE” , I have noticed I get advisories and warnings for multiple cities instead of the city I have chosen as my primary city. Before, we received advisory/warning for primary/chosen city and now I get it for all cities listed which could be 8-10. I like to add cities of friends and relatives and click on them when I WANT to see their weather more closely. I don’t need every advisory for all cities I have chosen. Can we back to the primary city only showing advisory and warning? Or can we make a choice on which city to have automatic advisory/warning? Or did I miss something and we can already block advisory/warning for ALL cities lol n my list? I had to lower my rating because this drives me crazy. I don’t want to look up every city when I’m interested in the weather. I would rather just click on one in my group. Please go back to primary city advisory/warning. PLEASE! LOVE YOUR APP but...gee whiz...this is crazy to get advisories for multiple cities all day.

Loved this app for a long time, now looking for a replacement. I switched to AccuWeather not long after I got my iPhone because it was the best one out there that I could find—accurate to my location, easy to use, lots of good info. Over the last couple updates this app has gone WAY down hill. First, I noticed things that were previously available have been put behind a paywall—notably predicted precipitation amounts. I get that these things cost money, but when I was getting something with the free version that I now have to pay for (not an improvement—the same information), that feels like a money grab probably due to flattening profits. The thing that is pushing me over the edge though—I just opened the app to find out what my current temperature is and it shows three different current temperatures depending on where I look. The splash page shows one, if I scroll down it shows a different one, and if I go to the temperature trends page, it shows yet a third “current” temperature. Abismal.

Not all it should be. As others have mentioned, my physical location shows on the map but it gives me weather for the town 20 miles away. I pay for premium, they added premium plus and now i get the banner telling me to upgrade to premium Every time i open the app. Very annoying when you pay for premium. Nothing on this app is really any better than the Weather Channel app that comes standard in my iPhone. Get rid of the premium plus. You have premium and that cost is enough for what you offer. Read the comments from recent reviews and fix what is irritating people. Btw… the free app from WC tells me how much rain we had in the past 24 hrs as well as how much is expected. Dont get that here. Downgraded now that you wont even give us the hourly forecast beyond 12 hrs without another level of upgrade. Ridiculous, most companies add content, you literally took some away. Instead of upgrading i think when my subscription runs out ill just cancel.

Current reviews are strongly negative. Prior to the most recent change this was an excellent app and deserved the 4.7 rating. The app is now terrible. The ability to check weather conditions outside of my immediate area was extremely valuable. Now, this has become very difficult and so far I have been unable to do so. Previously, it took a second to make this check. Also, the older design was far more precise in the information provided. For example, New York City covers an area where there can be considerable variation in weather conditions. The older app took this into account; the new one doesn’t. [If the designer is reading this note, YES, I know where to look in order to find other locations, but when I tried to access them, it didn’t work; also, in the past it was possible to see simple temperature information for many places at once; now this is impossible.] I agree with the many users who have written that a once terrific app has been ruined! The 4.7 rating does not reflect how the App is viewed by current users. Anyone reading this note need only check under “recent reviews” to verify this.

Great app, but with a huge radar limitation. Edited - I still like this app a lot, but they really need to do something about the radar map. It is horrible! Every time I tap on radar, I get "loading, loading, loading". And I am on Verizon with five bars. What good is a Weather+ app if the radar does not work? I've tried all the top weather apps available here and while I personally think AccuWeather could be thevery best of them all, it has a major problem with the radar map. In all the other apps I've tried, you can pinch/zoom the distance so the radar map covers an area that the user wants to view (not the developer). With AccuWeather, the minimum distance you can view on the radar map covers from the top of Tennessee to the bottom (in my case), which is about 140 miles and not nearly sufficient to see when rain is starting or stopping at my location. Not sure why they did this, but if it's stopping me from purchasing the in-app Premium version, I'll bet it's stopping others as well. Fix this, AccuWeather, and I'll change my review to five stars and pay for the Platinum version.

Could be so much better. I really tried to enjoy this app for weather forecasts on our farm. The simple data provided probably works for the common lady person who doesn’t rely on whether for daily activities or life or death situation‘s for livestock. Most of the time when the app sends out push alerts for some type of severe weather, when you open it, you get an error message. the app does not provide rain alerts and it does not provide lightning alerts either. Right now I have three separate weather apps on my phone I contacted AccuWeather and I will give them credit on very quick responses through the contact us portion of the app: however, they will not answer the question on when enhancements to the app experience will be made. I have even purchased the premium subscription to this app and the only thing different is it doesn’t have is in app ads. I would like to challenge the developers to consider adding rain alerts and lightning alerts just like the weather channel app provides free of charge.

Last three updates have been downgrades. I’ve been using this app for years and the radar has always been on point as well as what used to be the minute cast. The last three updates are just OFF, everything used to parallel with what I was experiencing with storms and I could count on by the minute when my anxiety would be relieved. It’s not working that way anymore, the app now shows the storm is almost passed but what I’m hearing and seeing outside doesn’t match at all. I also dislike the chance to the alerts and warnings. There was nothing wrong with the way it was before. The way it is now is just a bunch of colored chunks without a key. Idk maybe I need to look harder, surely there’s something to designate what a maroon chunk is? I’m assuming red is a warning? Just not understanding why you would take something that worked almost perfect compared to the other apps out there and change it.

Apple Watch complication not as good.. Update: I added one star because they have fixed the issue of the Apple Watch complication not working. It now works. However, it’s a dumbed down version of what they had before. Before the major update, I had several choices on what would be displayed in the complication. Specifically, I could choose whether it displayed the actual temperature or the real feel temperature. Those options are now gone and it only displays the actual temperature. I would much prefer to be able to see the real feel temperature. If they brought those options back I would change my rating to 4 stars. Original review: The new app on the phone itself is ok. I don’t like it quite as much as the old one but I could deal with it. What really bugs me is that they got rid of the Apple Watch complication! Why? I was using that on my Apple Watch exclusively on all of my faces that allowed for it. Now it’s just gone. It still has an Apple Watch app but you have to open the app to see basically the next 60 minutes of precipitation and the temperature. Gee thanks.

Updated (v13.0.4) Now Great UI; Very Accurate; Excellent, Responsive Support. AccuWeather has been for several versions and for many years now (13 Jan 2020) a great app—one of the best, most useful I’ve licensed (having paid for the ad-free upgrade). (I am embarrassed that I did not post an updated correction to my 2014 v7 review until today.) The user interface is clean, easy to use and understand. One can, with a little finesse, even create a location for which to see weather forecasts as specific as for an single address, road intersection, or place (eg, an outdoor stadium). I have found the forecasting to be incredibly accurate, sometimes to the minute! Last winter, this AccuWeather app predicted snow in 18 minutes, as I contemplated rushing from home to do an urgent errand. Exactly 18 minutes later, as I came outside, having finished, it started snowing as I walked to my car—awesome! I have played soccer outdoors for 25 years. Rain timing predictions have rarely been wrong. When AccuWeather forecast rain between 8pm and 9pm, such almost always occurred. (My league’s games are typically 7pm to 8:45pm, once weekly, 40 weeks each year, so I’ve experienced several hundred such accurate timing forecasts.) Support is truly exceptional. For the few occasions when I’ve had questions, e-mail has been answered quickly, specifically and thoughtfully. I highly recommend paying for this app—my money has been well spent.

Was my go to for weather. WAS My go-to weather app. Gives me what I need and the accuracy is often scary. Rain in 10 minutes? Yep. There it is. Wait 20 to walk the dogs. BUT honestly they say today is going to be a high of 85. It's 73 now, and in 2 minutes is supposed to be 83. It's not going to happen. Also it will say in one place no rain for two hours, the radar shows nothing, but the chance of rain it gives is high and it starts to pour. Just now saying raining for two hours, but the chance or rain during this hour? 0%. What? I check the NOAA radar, and it shows rain all around. The other apps are much closer to the forecast mark, seems to me not too hard to recalibrate if things change, others can! And be consistent in your readings. UPDATE: Was my go to, now it's inaccurate more times than not. I deleted when privacy an issue, then reloaded when fixed. Now don't use because it's wrong. Now? Says it's 100F which it's clearly not. Then I reload 3 times and it's suddenly right at 86. Too much work. I'm out.

AccuWeather. Takes forever to load. Because you insist on loading a bunch of commercials before presenting any meaningful data which would be why someone would load your app. Do you and the rest of the app providers have any idea of how much a user would spend to go premium for every app out there? I continue to search for a replacement for your app. Somewhere there is a tolerance threshold for what an end user will bear for ads. You get the data you present for free, so figure out how to deliver a static app that provides a user interest profile that allows the user to create watch lists for ads to be seen. So today I am interested in garden seeds and products I would like to see. Then present those ads. On your end you offer sellers to pay for ads based on user selection. It costs them to have me see their ads because it fits my tailorable profile. Try to find a benefit for all. Yes I could just leave my profile empty but then I get a minimum of data returned like the current temp, but I get something and don’t have to wait forever to load your crappy app.

The updates are great!. Unlike most of the other users here, I think these updates make it easier to navigate and it still provides all the info you need. I really don’t understand the complaints; from the ones I’ve read it seems to be mostly from users who struggle with technology. Most of the features they claim are “missing” are not—humidity, dew point, wind speed and direction, and future forecast going out several weeks are all there. This app beats the old Weather Underground app (before Weather Channel mucked that up) by leaps and bounds. The buttons at the bottom to get to the different views is far more intuitive than having to scroll back up to the top to change it. The Month view makes it easy to look at future forecasts. I know people tend to not like change, and we’ve all been burned by developers ruining perfectly good apps, but in this case the “improvements” actually turned out to be improvements. Nice job!

Radar. Of all of the weather apps I’ve seen many have poor types of cloud cover precipitation imaging covered during storms for areas specific to where the storm is, they tend to generalize with like green or purple or pink or whatever color they make snow and they don’t really define with sharpness. I guess what I’m trying to say is when you see a radar map you expect to see sharpness in the image not just a general color for rain or for snow or for mixed precipitation so I would like to see more sharpness especially during storms to define what the storm is doing so much sharper images would be very useful in these apps. Please except my advice as being useful as I am a longtime member of “skywarn” and registered with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly as a weather watcher and I have been since 1996 when I was in the newspaper for it, also two of my sons are avid weather watchers as well as astronomy watchers so we kind of take all this very seriously.

Revamp needed/always wrong. I’ve used this app for a long time. I’ve noticed like many others have mentioned that something is breaking down somewhere along the lines. For example, it forecasted beautiful weather on March 10 and we got it. A great day. For our area in East Tennessee it called for a beautiful week with exception of Friday. So checked later last night and the forecast is still the same. A beautiful Monday, sunny, 63 degrees and no rain. Checked this morning at 7:30am and again at 10am. Same forecast. However Since we have a farm and work outside daily I noticed things were looking different than what the forecast was saying. So at about 10:30 I checked the forecast again and it said exact same thing. However I click radar and notice a huge storm/front is about to hit. 3 hours later it’s still pouring. Only after the rain had started did the forecast ever change. Doesn’t make a lot of since to have a app and weather service that this happens very often with. Hopefully you guys get your inner workings sorted out.

App rating. Enjoyed this App for a few years & find it much better than any other weather app. The video section could be greatly improved with the most current weather that shows time, as well as the day recorded, and more about the weather as well. Many current Worldwide weather events as well as the USA Weather. It also has repetition of the same videos after showing it the first time, when it could be a similar video from the same weather event but from a different point of view, scenery, and source. Whom ever sets these up could do a much better job just by searching the internet as so many people report their whereabouts and how the weather is affecting them in their area. It would be a better radar section if it would include a World Radar section that would be continuous to see how the weather affects each different section of the World.

Miss the old version. AccuWeather has long been my favorite weather channel, and when I purchased my first iPad, one of the first apps I downloaded was the AccuWeather app, which gave me a lot of good local weather information along with concise and accurate video forecasts and also featured video blogs of the weather forecasters discussing in some detail certain aspects of the global weather. For example, one blog I loved to watch had a meteorologist who discussed in much detail the different models of predicting the formation and progression of tropical storms and hurricanes as the stormy season progressed. Now all I have are graphics and videos that are often not related to the weather at all. And, since the last update, the app doesn’t seem to know where I am in that the local forecast is for an area far removed from my home, meaning I have to go in and enter and save my home address almost every night. This is becoming a great nuisance so until AccuWeather can fix this bug and bring back the video forecasts and blogs, I’m going to delete the app and use another weather app.

Very detailed. I love this weather app. It is very detailed. Let’s you know with accuracy when rain is starting in your area. Like if says rain in 15 minutes. It will be raining 15 minutes later on queue. Updates constantly and has been the most accurate helpful weather app I’ve ever come across. Easy to understand and follow. Gives you great info on the pollen situation in your area. Current and what to expect in the next few days. What kind of pollen etc. As an allergy sufferer that is extremely helpful because we just know we are suffering but not exactly what pollen in causing it. I have this app on every device. iPad, phone, laptop. All of them. It even has the latest on my areas covid situation which can be a pain to search on google and time consuming. Has it all right here plus whether or not the cases have gone up or down from the week prior and by what percent. This app has it all. Highly recommend!

Good app, bad complication. The app itself is ok. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and the only problem is that every once in a while, the app just shows dashes. My city name is in the upper left hand corner, but there is no data. The forecast also seems pretty accurate most of the time. My biggest beef is with the watch complication. Half the time it doesn’t even show up on my watch. There’s just a blank spot. And when it does show up, 90% of the time it tells me it’s 54 degrees out—even if it’s 34 or 75. When I tap on it to open the Accuweather screen on my watch, all I see is my city name with dashes everywhere. If I go to my phone, everything is working fine. Also, it would be nice if I didn’t have to constantly get my reading glasses out to read that it’s 54 degrees out (although since it rarely is, why am I looking in the first place?). It would be nice if (a) the temperature reading on the watch was accurate and (b) there was a option to have it just show the temperature. My eyes at 45 years old are apparently too old to make this complication worthwhile.

I agree don’t like new update. I has been using this app and miked it just fine. I had switched from weather channel one cuz too many adverts. After recently updating the display is now a boring one color hard to look at and I don’t like to have to push the daily and hourly buttons at the bottom. When you do click on daily, I have to stare at it for a while to figure out what information it’s telling me. Only one letter for the day of the week at the top and the day of the month number and a vertical bar for each day that I guess is supposed to represent the high and low for the day. I’m not at all I tech person so can’t speak in those technical terms, but it’s not giving me the information in a pleasant, clear, easy to read and understand format, touching the least amount of buttons. I too will be looking be looking for an alternative. I came here to look at the reviews to see if it was just me. I can see it’s not. I would like to see more colors, bigger writing and more clear daily readout. The positive is it is pretty accurate for my area. I do like the precipitation wheel.
