Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 320 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the new design extremely clunky, difficult to navigate smoothly, and burdened by a dark and depressing color scheme. Consumers also complained that the updated layout feels overcrowded with information, requiring excessive scrolling just to find basic daily details. Reviewers expressed deep frustration about the removal of useful features previously available in older versions. Some reviewers were not happy with the severely flawed location tracking feature that constantly places users in completely wrong areas. People additionally reported that the local weather forecasts are frequently unreliable, pointing out that daily predictions often differ drastically from actual outdoor conditions.

Where’s the jet stream

Liked previous app this ‘improvement’ is terrible. They charged me to keep using long range forecast and then deleted it and said charge was for removing adverts. Scammed as well as receiving a hard to navigate App If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Very poor "refreshed" app.

The widget has no transparency and is a massive obstruction with a black block taking up most of the background on your phone. No longer have the 1x5 size. Saved locations got deleted. The update also doesn't track my location properly like the previous update. Tracks to a town 3 miles away now, the older app tracked with 100% accuracy. I've reverted back to the old app version 2.47.2 using the APKMirror.

You didn't refresh anything, you downgraded everything and made the entire app non-user friendly.

I like hundreds and hundreds of other excellent reviewers have attempted and taken up their time to explain to the Met office their updated App. Is not, has not,been improved ,to return a service important on a daily use, to many many folk, and not just for a shopping day
At least we know its raining!!

Hilarious

Hilarious. They have a long range forecast. They cannot even forecast today’s weather. Totally useless. Just look at the 1 star reviews. Says it all

The new app is abysmal

The new app is abysmal. As an avid weather watcher I'm very disappointed. I have fedback to the Met Office but didn't even get a response. I was always ttrusting and appreciative of the maps, long range details, presure levels and weather systems. That straight forward usability has gone. As for vision and neurodiverse consideration the Met Office decision processes have failed.

The new website is a disaster

The new website is a disaster. Black background white font , trendy but obscure to read. Dark sea , unreal. No iso bar map , most important part of understanding weather movement. How could the get it so wrong I wonder?

It's absolutely terrible

It's breathtakingly awful.
What on earth was wrong with the old app?
Confusing user interface. More steps to get to the same info, which is less well presented.
Quality of rain maps has been massively downgraded (especially the 6h part). And where is air pressure??
I need that information. BRING BACK THE OLD APP.

What a dumbded down mess.

Blimey — what have they done to the Met Office website? It’s been dumbed down into something that’s harder to use, not easier. The old site put everything in one place: you could scroll through hours and days and see everything on a single page. It was quick and easy to digest everything you needed, now it feels child like, cluttered, more confusing, and genuinely harder to read.
Just delete it - its really not that hard!

Hate it with a vengeance.

Hate it with a vengeance.
I used to rely on it for destination options for time away and for simple timetabling like walking the dog. Why destroy a reliable, easy to use tool. Really disappointed.

Epic Fail!

The previous app was perfect. Everything you could ask for in a weather app. The 'thing' that has replaced it is atrocious. A jumbled mess of data and scrolling all wrapped up in a cheap, basic and outdated design.

The Met Office weather app until…

The Met Office weather app until January 2026 was the best app available. Then they came out with this absolutely awful upgrade that is not in the slightest user friendly.
Difficult to use, current location, weather, wind and pressure are awkward to find and read.
Don't download it, it really is that bad.
Met Office, my advice, go back to the old app, it worked.

Awful

Awful. I can’t stand the new upgrade. It’s difficult to see at a glance unlike the old style which was easy to view. The dark screen is not pleasant to look at. I have deleted it and won’t go back. What a mistake this “upgrade” was.
