Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 80 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently mentioned that recent software updates introduced an intrusive advertising system, tiny unreadable fonts, and confusing layouts that made standard mobile navigation extremely difficult. Consumers also complained that excessive advertisements frequently block essential weather information, disrupt daily usage, and drastically slow down overall application performance. Some reviewers were happy with past versions, noting that earlier editions were exceptionally user-friendly and provided reliable meteorological details. However, many customers expressed deep frustration over sudden subscription pushes, unexpected billing issues, and intrusive mandatory video ads appearing unexpectedly before checking daily forecasts.

Who do you have doing your forecasts? A snail could do a better job. The forcast is incorrect 90% of the time. Off by several degrees. Rain not coming or off by several hours of your forecast.... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Stop pushing subscriptions and hiding behind pay walls. You have to be idiots to want weather forecasts 10+ days in advance when most of the weather models max out at about 7 days and beyond that you'... See more

The app is neither predictive

The app is neither predictive, reliable and can’t pre guess the Doppler. At all! Rather random, conflicting, lazy and inaccurate. NOAA was far superior and better informed.

Changed for the worst

Changed for the worst. Used be user friendly. Something changed. Used to have very few ads. Now, one click on hourly, daily forecast, or radar, and immediately an ad shows up. LONG seconds later, then bareley visible in a corner, not always the same corner, an X to close the ad, and see whatever you wanted to see. Quite dissapointing. Now I have to find another weather app.

Cannot Change Default Location

Since the August update, there is no way to change the default location. I recently moved to a different state. I want the local weather, not the weather in the location I used to live in.

Also, their "contact us" site does not work. It will not accept ANY communications. Period.

The August 2025 update is so bad I had to leave a negative review on the Apple Store and here as well. The UI design decisions put priority on loading Ads and hiding functionality (if the app loads at all on the first try). What were you all thinking over there - product leadership should be fired.

Billed for a cancelled subscription!!

I cancelled my subscription and it showed cancelled on my portal then 24 hours later they billed me for another month (out of my normal cycle). Horrendous customer service doesn’t want to help and has a rigorous attitude.

STAY AWAY!

It used to be a GREAT app until the bean counters took over and started selling subscriptions. When that wasn's enough, they started selling Ads that you had to watch before you could see the weather. THEN, the Ads got longer and if you could tolerate the delay, they would punish you further by not clearing the screen. At that point, I deleted the App. Sayonara!

Unbelievably inaccurate

Unbelievably inaccurate! Today it said rain starting in 15 minutes at 7:42 am. It was already pouring and it was 7:45. Consistently wrong. I mean not even close 98% of the time. I work outside and weather is important to me to schedule work. Just wanted to say that I will never use the app again.

The only AQI that includes the Northwest's major pollutant.

In the Pacific Northwest, the major summer pollutant is Nitrogen Dioxide. This has been a major contributor to the deaths of many of our native trees and decorative plants, but other weather apps fail to include this pollutant in the AQI reporting. This results in most people believing the air quality is okay, but wondering why their eyes are stinging and plants are dying. I believe that the use of Plume data accounts for this.

I contacted Accuweather to cancel my subscription as their August 2025 "update" took away what I loved about the App and within less than 24 hours, they promptly BILLED me for another year! Stay away!
