1. [R165] 3/5 · GB Nice app but £30 a year 😡: I do like the app and find it quite accurate. Feels nice to use. But it is only a weather app and £30 per year is well over the top in my opinion, when most similar app are under £10 for a lifetime subscription. I don’t mind paying, but not that much and for only one year
2. [R4] 1/5 · US Ads Before Seeing Radar: This app used to be great! I’ve had it for a VERY long time. With the constant increase in ads, it has been harder to use. Today was the final straw. I go to check the weather radar because of a severe weather alert and instead of the radar, I get hit with a candy game ad. Just thirty more seconds and I can see if this tornado is going to drop down on our house. The greed
3. [R7] 2/5 · US It used to be ok: I used to really like this app, but it was always really slow to load especially if you had a low bandwidth connection. The “RealFeel” numbers are ridiculously extreme. They believe this is better than the generally understood heat index and wind chill. I think they just want to promote fear. The final straw was putting ads into it. Now they just delay things like going from
4. [R16] 1/5 · US Terrible App: Slow to load, inaccurate, abusive ad spam. This is a genuinely terrible app and I wish I would have swapped to another offering sooner. I have nothing good to say about it.
5. [R42] 1/5 · US Ads for games: I don’t mind the game ads, but PLEASE fix it so the ad goes away when you tap the x. I have to completely close the AccuWeather app in order to get to the radar!
6. [R10] 5/5 · US Questionable Forecasts.: I have found this app to be not much better than the free Apple Weather app. The graphics are a lot better but the forecast is pretty much the same. This app has predicted rain and / or thunderstorms for my area several times since I downloaded it and has been wrong 90% of the time. If the forecast doesn't improve I will not renew the fee for this app. I will ad , disab
7. [R89] 3/5 · US Radar issues: I’ve noticed that recently the radar seems to have issues where big chunks of area never load, which is NOT a great thing when you’re in a severe weather outbreak and seeing a blank square in the middle of a radar map. I pay for this app yearly to get features and no ads, and if these nasty bugs don’t get fixed, it’s not worth continuing to pay…
8. [R140] 3/5 · US Fails to load about 70% of the time: Paid premium subscription, no ads and have been for many years. Used this app to project and schedule multiple crews for as many years. over the last 6 months it’s hit or miss if it loads, and a lot of the time when it does load it loads an information screen telling me something went wrong and I need to try again. As for the accuracy of the format it’s still v
9. [R53] 3/5 · US No as-free version: Only Premium+ is available. Bad choice Accuweather. I deleted the app and want to encourage them to bring back an ad free version
10. [R419] 3/5 · AU Why force the premium +: I have been a big fan of this app for years but it seems that everything is now about pushing the premium + subscription but if you read the T&Cs it clearly states “feature is only supported in the contiguous United States” so what is the point if I live in Australia. Really disappointed that the developers have gone in this direction. I have also noticed that the more the
11. [R6] 5/5 · US Home Safely: Get home safely with this app. We trust the accuracy during our multi-day trips to see our grand children. With the active weather radar we can adjust our drives to sit out or skirt around storms
12. [R8] 4/5 · US I Trust AccuWeather: State of the art forecasting. Always very accurate.
13. [R11] 5/5 · US Excellent and Up to date: So happy with this app! Easy to navigate and accurate.
14. [R22] 5/5 · US Excellent weather App.: This is an excellent weather app. It seems to be very accurate and I like the simplicity of the format. It’s not real jumbled up with a bunch of different things. It’s easy to use as well.
15. [R44] 5/5 · US I love knowing that you are right !: I like the extended forecast calendar..great for planning activities ! It’s quite helpful to see where the storms are coming from on the radar and to be able to see the way they are coming my way. I am able to gauge the times when I can be more active outside and let my family know what’s coming their way, even in different places around the country! Thanks fo
16. [R101] 5/5 · US Evacuation: Even though I’ve never had to evacuate this app has helped me know when I might need to!
17. [R107] 5/5 · US A great weather resource: Having worked in aviation all of my life, weather is always a major safety and planning factor, especially living in Florida. I have come to rely on this app as a “go to” first look for weather information.
18. [R1] 5/5 · US My favorite: This app is the best app ever in the Apple Store
19. [R26] 5/5 · US Easy to use, easy to cypher.: See Above
20. [R33] 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.
21. [R23] 1/5 · US Horribly inaccurate: I paid for premium and this app is one of the most inaccurate I’ve ever used. In the past 2 weeks it has told me on 4-5 different occasions that it’s going to rain with an 80-90% probability each time. Never rained one time. The Weather Channel app said very little chance of rain those days and it was right.
22. [R5] 2/5 · US Constant negative news: From a weather standpoint, the app does its job. It shows the weather, and I have no complaints about that. But there is one huge problem: it constantly sends notifications that have nothing to do with the weather forecast. Instead, they are news stories, and they are always negative. I stopped using another weather app after six or seven years for exactly the same reason.
23. [R13] 1/5 · US Sensationalist Junk: I wish this app was about the weather, but the latest weather video was of a 65 year old man suffering horrendous injuries as a bison launched him into the air at a picnic. Pretty much what you’d expect from a company that’s more interested in clickbait than a decent weather forecast.
24. [R14] 2/5 · US Negative News: The two stars come from the fact that this tells weather reasonably accurately. The rest were lost due to a consistent barrage of negative news. The developers decided to push click bait in the form of tragic news headlines designed to get an emotional response. There’s enough stress in the world, I don’t need it pushed on me by a radar app. I just wanted information, but if I turn
25. [R24] 1/5 · US Useless Notifications: The app was great at first but then it started sending me click bait notifications completely unrelated to weather. It’s absolute trash now.
26. [R2] 3/5 · US Decent Data, too glitchy to rely on: The app freezes or crashes, won’t load the radar, or won’t update location about 50% of the time. I like the app format better than others but it isn’t reliable.
27. [R17] 1/5 · US Worse than ever: I don’t know what happened to the old format, it was great. This new and so-called improved app is terrible and I mean terrible. Slow as ever advertisements. Please bring back the old one. This one stinks.
