1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Annual subscription last year was 2.99 - today 6.99 !?! How is this justified?. Checking my email from Apple last year there was a clear indication that the subscription will renew at 2.99/year (every year on July 27) - today I received notification for a 133% increase in the annual fee!Everyone is out there trying to rip you off!

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Why?. Why can’t yall be accurate?!?! They all suck, every single weather app sucks! And no I’m not paying for one…

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Search doesn’t work anymore. I have been using this app for years. Since they decided to sell out, it’s just terrible. I can’t find out what the weather is like in Des Moines because the search bar doesn’t work! Why did you do it?

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Latest update 2 days ago…. …and the app hasn’t worked since. Whatcha doin’ to fix it?

5. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Scam advertisement page.. I originally installed this to try and get some much more accurate weather stats and it worked amazing for a while, but now all that is lost due to the chain of obvious scam ads that are bigger and clearer than the actual weather stats. If I see anymore temu ads or other scam ads I'm gonna be hunting another weather program and deleting this one.

6. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

   Most recent update broke the app. App no longer opens (tried multiple devices), no way to notify anyone, completely useless!

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App no longer run. When run the app and it says that could not run on my iPhone. For what reason ? It was ok but can not use the app anymore.is there reason to ban my iPhone ?

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Too many ADS!. I like the weather related information, TOTALLY HATE THE ADS, this app has a DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ADS. I paid so that I would get rid of the ads but I still get them. Ads are so very bothersome! They’re distracting, TAKE TOO MUCH REAL ESTATE OF MY SMALL PHONE SCREEN. How do I get refund?

9. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Worst weather app, tracks every activity. This weather app is very intrusive, loads up lots of ads all over, tracks every activity on my phone as it keeps asking permission and I try to limit it. There are some good alternatives out there.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App. Ot working on smart tv. Always enjoyed the Weather Network on my smart tv, but recently I’ve been getting the circle of death. Help please……

11. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads now. My husband and I have used this app for years and are deleting it now. The number and size of the ads is frustrating. It used to be fine but was changed recently.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes!!. 8/31/2023: This app now immediately crashes upon opening! Worthless!! Should be fixed or removed from App Store!

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Last update keeps crashing. Paid for a subscription. Now the last update crashes the app. Completely useless.

14. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Slow and buggy. The app is slow and crashes frequently

15. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    How could forecasting be so wrong??. I have recently moved to canada and everyone here told me that this app is sooooo good, however I have found over the past 3 years of using this app that it cannot even tell me the correct temperature and cloud cover at the current moment, let alone tomorrow’s. i’ve been taking screenshots to confirm that their forecasts are not accurate for 24 hours let alone 5 days. their “radar” loop is a joke. when you play a loop into the future their loop just holds the last radar image and moves it over map in the direction it was last traveling without being affected by microclimates, loss of moisture, terrain and downstream systems like the NOAA radar does. it’s literally the south park animation equivalent of weather.

16. ★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…

    Potential Malware Ads. I’ve used this app for years, just recently they started hosting ads that auto open safari that lock up your screen & force interaction with a “Restore” “Cancel” app just called “TV”. Anytime something like that pops up it’s usually malware, I sent in a report but I’m also deleting this app because I can no longer trust it not to be a malware host just so they can make a few pennies or try to force me into an ad free subscription. Sorry but I’ll use the built in weather feature on my phone thanks, keep your malware

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why the mindrape in a weather app?. These people are heavy on the fearmongering with 90% of their “articles”, which also just happen to be a huge unwanted distraction that does NOT need to be there, let alone at the top of the app. And a healthy percentage of all this is absolute globalist propaganda. Pathetic.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unable to locate UV information. Unable to get UV data

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Awful app. That app is so awful and useless. Never get us the correct forecast. Every week was overwhelming because it exaggerate every prediction. I don’t recommend this one!!

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Promotes the climate change hoax.. I’m sorry, but any educated person that can read a graph knows the world is heard into a mini ice age since 1952. I will not support a weather app that thinks mankind can raise the temperature of the earth .0001 of a degree while ignoring solar fluctuations, volcanoes and established cycles.

21. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Weather formate. Had a good product - change formate just to change is an experiment that’s not working

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Weather forecasts where. Why no forecast

23. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    One of the worst weather apps I’ve ever seen. This is one of the worst weather apps I’ve ever seen. The app design in itself is just a big blah. The radar is one of the worst, with no settings what so ever, to turn off the terrible future radar future, and the radar is extremely slow, as there are no speed options for it as well. This app needs a complete redesign and overhaul and add settings to the radar to increase the speed, and even get rid of that future radar as it does not make any sense. On it you just see a frozen radar pretty much with the precipitation just moving out of the area, with the same exact look, just moving.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Inaccurate. You are saying that the dense fog has lifted in Venice and Marina Del Rey California. It hasn’t. I have no way of knowing how long it will last. If I could give you a number zero I would. And I’m paying for this.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ruined the app with ads. All of a sudden now when I tap to see the hourly temps a stupid ad for lending or something pops up and never goes away. I don’t see an “X”to close it or a button that’s says “close. “ Now I cant see hourly, just a stupid ad that doesn’t go away. Greedy people making you pay so that you can get weather info. I’m deleting it

26. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads. Ads now pop up and stay on the screen way too long and sometimes no way to close it off unless you click on the ad. Deleted

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Constantly Crashes. I just updated my app and it crashes every time I open it.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Alaska don’t bother. “No weather maps available” Not a good statement for a weather maps guy...

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Temp. Want regular temp not C

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Fairly worthless. I tried the app this morning based on the App Store article. Cannot get any data on cellular nor WiFi. Tried by enabling location & manual entry. Location & cellular enabled in settings. Jeez
