An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A mature app with a good pollen and air-quality summary, but forecast accuracy is unstable and storm notifications have stopped firing in the background without the app being open.

What users experience

4 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

After planning a party on two separate occasions because the app said it would be "sunny," and soon realizing the party needed to be cancelled because it was POURING RAIN! I decided to switch weather app…very happy I did.

Active weather notifications have stopped working. My husband and I rely on storm and lightning notifications for our business. Neither of us get notified any more unless we open the app, even with everything turned on. Please fix this as we rely on it for our personal and equipment safety!

This has always been my go to app for weather but the last couple of months I am unable to delete saved locations. It say I must have one. I don't need to scroll through stuff I saved 2 years ago.

I saw someone else mention that they can't delete saved locations so it must be a bug and not just something on my end. It used to work better, but somewhere along the way I guess an update made it work worse.
