Too expensive. 400% increase? Nope. Not anywhere near worth that. I just need to make sure it’s not in automatic renewal.

You have to pay now. Used this app for years and loved it, and one day suddenly you can only look at about 3 of the "layers" for free now. Even thunderstorms are hidden behind a subscription. Won't be redownloading

Premium account won’t work, no customer service contact info. Can’t get the premium account to work on an iPhone when I already paid for it for my old phone, an Android. Can’t find any customer service contact info anywhere. I checked online and on fb and through the app. I will update this review if I get this resolved.

No support. There is no way to submit bugs or feedback, so if the devs at least read it here: Please make the app work when WiFi HTTP proxy is in effect (user manually defined or received via automatic dhcp). It currently fails to get data if HTTP proxy is set.

App works worse now. Signed up for premium and the app works worse now.

Needs access to location services all the time for notifications to work. Won’t allow you to get notifications without giving it unfettered access to your location services. I cannot understand why you can’t manually put in the zip code for the location you want notifications for! As far as I can tell, this is the case for ALL ios weather apps. Ridiculous.

Premium not working. I purchased premium, logged in and it acknowledged that I am logged in and have premium – and it still just gives me a five day forecast and basic everything. It was working, and now it's not.

Ventusky complaint. Hi, this would be a great app if somehow you would use a different source for the current conditions. NOAA only updating once an hour is horrible. When I want to see the current temperature, I don’t want to view one that is 30 minutes, or 45 minutes, or 60 minutes old. NOAA should be replaced by you. Love everything about the app except that.

?. Currently showers and 100% cloud cover and your forecast is showing full sun for that hour? Apple weather is showing sprinkling and cloudy. Which weather site would you choose?

Location. Why does it now default to a location in the Pacific Ocean instead of my location? So you made it so irritating trying to find my location, that now you have to pay for the app. No thanx

No Apple Car Play. On a cross country road trip with baseball sized hail and long track tornadoes it would be nice to see the weather map on the vehicle display to avoid death. Nope. Doesn’t work with CarPlay so it’s useless for my needs.

Juked around. I purchased the app when it was first available and told all my friends. Surprise when I find out, I have purchased a yearly subscription which wasn’t available as an initial subscriber. I have no idea when it will renew and I guess I’ll just pay for the rest of my life! How very disappointing furthermore, I don’t find it offers all that much more to the everyday person that just enjoys looking at the weather.

USE THE BROWSER. USE THE BROWSER, MORE OPTIONS FOR FREE Look, this app, compared to the browser is terrible, yes it is better than The Weather Channel radar, but by golly, just use the browser's one. It is free for so many more options, so to anyone reading this PLEASE USE THE BROWSER, THIS IS A RIPOFF IN COMPARISON, PLEASE USE THE BROWSER

Disappointment. No longer advances weather systems on an hour by hour basis. Does not predict movement of systems beyond the current time.

Premium account doesn’t work. Not impressed by your app for iOS. Premium account has no features functional.

Can’t change the setting from km/hr to mph. Very annoying that I can’t change the setting!

Premium widgets will not load. Paid for the yearly premium app a month ago, when I try and load a premium widget it tells me to go get the premium subscription. I tap on the restore purchase link and it says I already have Premium active, but I try to load a premium widget and it still doesn’t work. I have requested a refund through Apple.

Random price hikes. Been loving the app, and USED it for back country trip planning and daily forecast. Then they made a 5$ app a 15 a year app to get anything more than what you get from free apple weather. Really disappointing, and honestly not worth 15 a year, don’t waste your money anymore

Don’t pay no support. Paid for premium and it keeps asking me to sign up for premium. Zero support

Hate the new model . Great for professionals.. Useless as TitsOnA Bull for us common folks but great for PropellerHeads that dont have a life . Im Done !!! Delete !

Not worth the money. No added value at all after you buy it.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Useless paywall. $10 a year for a service that is free in a web browser? Ridiculous. If you want to make the app $5 that’s one thing. But a subscription service, no matter how cheap is absurd when the locked features are otherwise free on safari or a computer.

What happened?. Used to love this app. Accuracy has gone down the drain!!!

Wave model Antarctica anomaly. Why are you all deleting the wave model Antarctica anomaly? We all know what’s going on!

Ventusky. They are removing the wave model because it shows weather modification in the south Atlantic. Finally we could see the DS at work this hurricane season and Ventusky caved to the pressure. Bouvetislandharp. Will be deleting this app .

Horrible. This weather app is trash. Don’t waste your money.

Not working. Idk what happened but a recent update has broken my app. It won’t load properly anymore, it keeps closing itself. Someone please fix. This has been a great app up to this point
