★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
On my iPhone and iPad. There’s a bug where an Ad game comes on and won’t allow me to move or click on to get rid of it.
★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
More bugs than before. 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.
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Chose another one. not accurate at all, worst app yiu possibly get.

New app. Your new app sucks. I wish I could go back to the older one

This was a decent app…. … then appeared the advertisement for Candy Cell which wouldn’t close and locked the app. I finally deleted it in frustration.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Alerts/preferences reset and do not work. I am so disappointed, I have used this app for years as a premium/paid user because I work outside and need the alerts if lightning or adverse weather is coming. The alerts have stopped working. Every time I go into the alerts they are reset or incorrect! Right now the alerts are “set” yet a thunderstorm just appeared and it gave zero alerts to me. The notification settings/location settings on my phone are all correct. The same issue is happening on my husbands phone and he works on the water, so this is a big safety issue for him. Why do I even pay for this. I emailed tech support and got zero response. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app and it still malfunctions. Please do better WeatherBug

From bad to worse. This app has really gone downhill. The radar map will not load. It consistently shows the wrong temp for my area. The wind hasn’t been displayed for weeks now. It won’t show current display of conditions on the Home Screen. The ads take up the whole main page at times which slows the download of current conditions. Terrible!

Mostly spot on. When on the app the services provided when giving atmospheric weather has been spot on. Love Weather Bug.

Epic Fail on Latest Update. I use to love this app. It was the best weather app but with the latest update there is an ad that stays on the screen and covers the weather map and the forecast information so you can't see it. You can't get it to go away. I hope this was a mistake and they will fix but if it was done intentionally then it was really dumb. Please fix this. Update: They fixed the bug and its back to being great like it was before.

POS. Something has been wrong with it for a couple months. It doesn’t update when you launch. So it’s Wednesday but showing Tuesday weather. I have all settings and WiFi set correctly.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Garbage. It will be actively raining outside, and this weather app will tell me it’s sunny all day. We’ve gotten to the point with this app that we do the opposite of what it predicts because it’s guaranteed to be wrong in our area every time.

Weather-Defect is Right. This is the worse weather app I have ever used. The temperature readings are never accurate. This morning at 6:50am, this app shows 71 degrees, all other apps and the tv stations show 62 degrees. This is very typical for this weather-defective app. The forecast are even worse. It might be able to predict rain in to her current hour but not always. This has been a total waste of money.

Wichita person. They don't believe in accuracy. They claimed Wichita had less than an inch of rain yesterday when ALL the TV stations said 1.01"! Also refuse change the name of 1 of their places they check the weather! They have been told 2 times already!! I just deleted it for their inaccuracy!
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Ads over Users. They have clearly prioritized their ads over their users. This was my go-to weather app for years, but the ads have become so intrusive, it’s not worth your time. Advertisers will run when their usage numbers drop.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Ads?!. So I pop in to my Weatherbug app today to see what the day will hold, and what do I see? An ad for Candy Crush totally blocking the “Now” view. If this is the new norm, I’m deleting the app.
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
Meh. I miss Dark Skies. These other apps are mostly worthless. Most inaccurate maps real time.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Radar. What's with the game overlaying the radar? Can't get rid of it. My go to weather app has been ruined
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Ads are everywhere. It’s not a weather app. It’s an ads app.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Annoying. I've continuously lowered my rating because they refuse to fix the bug that won't allow you to remove a city once you search for its weather. So every city you ever look at stays on your "favorites" forever. When you try to remove one, it says "Must have at least one location." Hello! I have every location!
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
app is buggy. I open the app to find that it doesn't know what day it is. I see yesterday's temp and hourly forecast. AI must be writing this code.
★★★★★a needed feature is missing
App no longer refreshes. In the last few months this app has stopped updating on open. Needs a force kill and refresh every time.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Keeps locking up. This app keeps locking up go to check temperature for my area and it’s giving me the temp for 3-4 hours ago.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Not working properly. Every time I try to use weather bug I have to restart my iPad and I often have to restore my purchase
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Alerts Not Working. I have been a WeatherBug ad-free subscriber for many years and used to love it but now the push notifications don’t work. I can’t even remember the last time I heard the WeatherBug cricket noise.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
It was great - junk now.. I’ve used it since the day one. It was fast, easy and accurate. After hands were changed - ownership - ad is a useless junk. I don’t know what do they add io it over the time, it’s getting frozen often, inaccurate and filled with not related nonsense. Had to delete it few times thinking it was a glitch or something. No, it’s in a system. Avoid it!

Does this app even work???. Seriously, does it work anymore? This app is turning into complete garbage. I have better luck predicting the weather with a rock hung outside my window.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Never refreshes. Great app if you want weather from whatever day this app decides to freeze on.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Doesn’t work. Downloaded it and there are multiple ads popping up and settings wouldn’t load and neither would notification settings. Pretty disappointing with the number of high ratings it has.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Radar doesn’t work. The radar does not work anymore which is the main reason I loved this app, the radar was always so accurate.
★★★★★excessive or broken notifications
Inaccurate. The app now puts an ad right in front of the most current alert for the area. The ad won’t go away. I’m not clicking on the ad so I guess I will be missing any serious alerts. This one’s going in the trash. I’ve noticed for months now that the radar is inaccurate. It will show that I have absolutely no precipitation overhead yet it’s raining like crazy. I’ve written to them about it, but it hasn’t been fixed yet.
