1. [R4] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Inaccurate weather: Do not use app for accurate weather .
2. [R7] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Was Great: I've used this app for years. It was great. After the recent update, it is horribly inaccurate. Currently it's in the 80s here; the app say 71. ?!?
3. [R16] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Horribly inaccurate: It can be torrentially raining where we are and the radar shows absolutely nothing even close. Rain starting and ending time predictions have been notoriously way off base. The app says to expect clouds and rain on and off all day and we will have the most beautiful weather all day. Do not believe this app.
4. [R30] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Inaccurate at times: Forecast times are way off. Inaccurate weather, predictions, and radar does not match what’s above the current area.
5. [R10] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Never works: I’ve been using acuweather for years but the last 6 months have me fed up. The app is still crashing almost every time I use it.
6. [R12] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Payment required for fastest info: I can’t depend on AccuWeather during an emergency anymore. The free version has a hiccup when you open it. You must stare at a blurry screening and hope that it boots up. Even closing it out and reopening it multiple times doesn’t always fix it. I no longer can depend on this app when severe weather threatens. I feel lucky if I can coax it into giving me the dail
7. [R13] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Gone downhill: This used to be a great app, but in the last six months or so, I am finding that it won’t load data a lot of the time. I open it and get a blank screen. I have to kill it and open it multiple times to get data. And other times it does the ad game thing, then freezes when that’s done and I have to kill the app. Super disappointed :(
8. [R21] AccuWeather 3/5 · US It’s something…: It’s a good app I have a good and a bad side about it Bad side Takes a long time to load Daily chart does not refresh when it’s supposed to Scared my son about saying tornados all night, it did not even say possible it said there was gonna be a tornado and there was none Says damaging wind gust and winds but says on it 9-8 mile per hour wind gusts and 7 mph wind Just has a lot of
9. [R3] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Unwanted Notifications: I would like notifications of severe weather in my area. I do NOT want horrible notifications popping up on my phone about children dying in hot cars, etc. literally makes my stomach turn. Not what I signed up for.
10. [R15] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Too many advertisements: The app works great and the weather forecast is accurate however the free version use to be great but now there are too many Popup advertisements.
11. [R18] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Way too many useless notifications: Ok weather app but in order to receive any actual warnings or watches means you also get useless air quality alerts every 30 mins. No feature to specify types of government alerts.
12. [R22] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Updates - terrible!!!: Wtf happened to this app - used to be my goto. Will be looking for something else! Updates look terrible, adds in your face! And now with the recent updates they have lost all my settings!
13. [R9] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Past rainfall: I can’t find out how much rain fell on my property during the past hour or past 12 hr or past 24 hr
14. [R25] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Used to be a great app: I’ve had this app for years. Loved it when I first got it. It just goes down hill more with every update. Now I have to pay for premium to use it with my Apple Watch. Looking for another weather app.
15. [R29] AccuWeather 4/5 · US Great, but…: Great all around weather app. A lot of useful information! But it has one major shortcoming…no precipitation alerts! Most of the better weather apps have this. Even Apple Weather. If it had that, it would be just about perfect! Update-7/3/26…still waiting on precipitation alerts!
16. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Wonderful help tool: Helps me make plans... and keep up with family and friends all over the world, as well as Local on the 8’s.
17. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US To many ads: The whole ad thing started not to long ago. I get it. That’s how you make money. When you go none to some it’s an annoyance.
18. [R56] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Pop ups: My only complaint is the pop-ups
19. [R58] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US best ever: O keeps me updated every single day and I'm always on point with the weather
20. [R65] WeatherBug 2/5 · US Radar Now Useless on iPhone: For the past several months the radar will not display the future on my iPhone. Using the standard radar layer it displays correctly until it reaches the NOW point, then shows nothing past. When using the 1 hour future radar layer it displays nothing, now or future. This app was always far superior to the Weather Channel which always shows armageddon is heading our
21. [R66] WeatherBug 5/5 · US Weather bug: I love this app ,it is very accurate
22. [R69] WeatherBug 5/5 · US Accurate: Accurate
23. [R70] WeatherBug 3/5 · US Can’t delete locations: Still unable to delete saved locations, which has been an issue for several months, and maybe even a year. Will this “bug” ever be resolved?
24. [R79] Weather 2/5 · US Lots of good weather stats, but…: Very poor at short-term forecasts. Predictions about rain chances are always way off.
25. [R80] Weather 5/5 · US Great App!: Fantastic job!
26. [R81] Weather 3/5 · US Radar unreliable: Not all the time but more often than not, the radar has no idea what’s going on. Like just seconds ago, I checked the radar and there was a good bit of rain about to be right in my area, then minutes later, it’s gone!! It happens to me quite often actually. I don’t know if it’s something with my iPhone 14 or?? Sometimes when you try zooming in, the precipitation on the radar disa
27. [R82] Weather 1/5 · US No just no: Weather is inaccurate and also i hate that you permanently deleted dark sky the best weather app of all time it’s not fun either would not reccomend
28. [R93] Clime 1/5 · US Subscription based expensive: Other apps available with much lower cost
29. [R94] Clime 5/5 · US Reliable: I have 3 weather apps and NOAA Weather is the most consistent and accurate weather app
30. [R95] Clime 3/5 · US Very needed: I travel all over. It’s good at keeping me update on the weather. I have been disappointed with the accuracy lately. Shows rain when there is no rain.
31. [R96] Clime 1/5 · US $$$$$: VERY LIMITED !! Unless you PAY LOTS IF EXTRA $$$, Compared to other reliable weather apps, you might just as well look at your thermometer & look out your window for what they give you here for free !! They won’t even give you additional info on NWS Severe Weather alerts and warnings, unless you PAY, & PAY, & PAY & PAY MORE !!!!! Ps… I actually get more specific & accurate information from
32. [R107] Weather Live° 1/5 · US Horribly inaccurate and you have to pay for basically everything: Why do you have to pay just to see the Rain scope and the 14 day forcast?!
33. [R108] Weather Live° 5/5 · US I need accuracy every day: Excellent work on forecasting
34. [R110] Weather Live° 1/5 · US It’s bad: It says it’s going to storm 4 day ing a row it’s not going to 1 star
35. [R112] Weather Live° 3/5 · US Inaccurate: App says fully sunny. It's actually fully cloudy.
36. [R1] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Radar sucks cock: Radar sucks.
37. [R5] AccuWeather 5/5 · US My favorite weather app: This app gives the best mix of precise forecasts, radar and other tools of any I have used.
38. [R6] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Radar: The radar is almost always inaccurate.
39. [R24] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Notifications: Why do notifications for locations keep turning on by themselves? I have tried numerous times to cancel notifications but the problem persists. I tried asking this via the app support but it would not go through.
40. [R28] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Crying Wolf: Accuweather was always a reliable source of government warnings. Whenever I heard their tone I got right on it and checked the notification Recently they’ve begun notifying me of natural disasters thousands of miles away using their distinctive warning tone. These notifications come several times a day. As a result, I have stopped checking the notifications and I’m trying to find a
41. [R19] AccuWeather 2/5 · US Rarely Accurate: Maps are covered by ads that can’t be closed out. Rain forecasts are night and day compared to other apps, and more often wrong than right.
