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.

The currenr version 21 is absolutely the worst designed screen I have ever seen. Besides being inaccurate, the layout is totally unreadable. I went back to version 20 or drop accuweathet altogether. W... See more

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 a... See more

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

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

What's wrong THIS time?

I like that the first question in the review process is what went wrong THIS time. It is currently 19° The prediction is 36 I can do better than that just by sticking my head out the window glad I didn't pay for the premium. That kind of inaccuracy is worse than useless.

It’s very reliable to be totally wrong

It’s very reliable to be totally wrong, some good features but misses the point of predicting the weather. Nine times out of 10 it’s wrong, just look out of the window and guess you would be a lot more reliable than this app.

Inaccurate Weather

This app would be between 15-25° degrees off on a regular basis. It was absolutely ridiculous. All the other apps would say it's 70° and Accuweather would say high 80's or 90's. There was that big of a discrepancy and they would be wrong. Not to mention after paying for a premium service, they switch up to a Premium + for those features that you initially purchased. Pure garbage and inaccurate. App was wonky, too.

Total misnomer!!!!((!…

They keep telling me they cannot determine my location, even though my location permission is permanently on. They say no precipitation for two hours yet there is a torrential downpour outside. They say rain ending in 15 minutes but there has been tropical sunshine all day.accuweather is a complete misnomer. Not to be relied on.

Used to be my favourite weather app

Used to be my favourite weather app. Was happy to pay the subscription until they wanted to double it in September. App now unusable, used to be easy to use, rainfall forecast accurate etc. have just uninstalled it - useless now. Better options out there.

Useless inaccurate weather app usually pre-installed most phones.

If you are unfortunate to already have this app preinstalled on your new phone. It's one. Of the most inaccurate information and weather app you will find.

Me personally I would recommend Google weather app. Much more accurate morjority of the time. Where ass the other will tell you it's sunny outside when is actually pouring it down with rain! Always been the same every phone I've had.

Deliberately Misleading Political Motivation

In June 2023, Accuweather predicted 100 degrees F temperatures for the tourist town of Bolzano in northern Italy for almost every day in July, well above normal. By July 28th, the temperatures never got up into the one hundreds, and most days in Bolzano were in the 70s and 80s, with the exception of some 90 degree F days in one week, which is not at all unusual in that area. Many people cancelled their vacation plans to Bolzano in July believing Accuweather's alarming forecast. Accuweather exaggerates based on a political agenda and is irresponsible.

Inaccuweather!!!

I just checked the AccuWeather app. It tells me the rain will stop in a few minutes. It isn’t raining. It hasn’t rained at all today despite the apps predictions.

Worst. Weather. App. Ever.

This weather site is ALWAYS wrong

This weather site is ALWAYS wrong! When you live in Alaska, it’s extremely important for us to know the weather! I’m sitting in 65 degrees, sunny, beautiful weather, and didn’t plan on fishing today because this app has forecast rain, 100% cloud cover, wind, and cold temperatures! Fishing is how I make a living in the short summer season! This has happened at least a dozen times this year! Get your crap together Accuweather!! Grrrr…

Not very accurate at all. Avoid..

Ive tried to use Accvuweather hundreds of times over the last 3 years. It looks slick, but is wildly inaccurate, and its radar map shows clear skies when Im in a torrential downpour and the complete opposite just now.. Its crap..
