  1. [R1] 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?!
  2. [R7] Weather Live° 1/5 · US BEWARE YOU CAN NOT CANCEL THIS APP: I purchase at 29.99 thinking it would be more informative IT IS NOT AND YOU CAN NOT CANCEL!! I tried 2 times and they will not give me my money back went to apple this is a third party app they can not help you. BEWARE
  3. [R19] Weather Live° 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time (or money): Come on guys… requiring a subscription to see the weather radar? Extra for precipitation layover? God I’d rather download NOAA and get it all free… what a joke. Develop something unique that’s worth my money… I dunno maybe something outside of the free realm…
  4. [R30] Weather Live° 3/5 · US Great App but developers are greedy.: This is a great application and would be better if the developers were no so greedy. Come on guys, you charge why too much for this application.. $5.99 a week or $99 a year. Oh please. Just boils down to greed.
  5. [R4] 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
  6. [R6] Weather Live° 3/5 · US Inaccurate: App says fully sunny. It's actually fully cloudy.
  7. [R10] Weather Live° 1/5 · US Trash and half & still hasn't gotten better: Please please tell me how 89° could ever possibly feel like a true 103° with less than 89% humidity. What a joke... Yet here we are AGAIN because this person doesn't know how to make an app. Today is says it's 87° and feels like a whopping 111°!!! With 78% humidity!!! You are full of it if you think this is real! Are you European? Is that why to thin
  8. [R12] Weather Live° 3/5 · US I loved it until: Beautiful layout and accurate weather except I have 2 Sundays with different weather information. So I have no idea if it’s going to be 58 or 69 on Sunday. I feel like if I pay for something, I want accuracy. I don’t see any way to fix this.
  9. [R9] Weather Live° 3/5 · US The widget is incomplete: It does not show the wind chill factor. The widget is too long and inconvenient; a more compact version would be preferable. · translated
  10. [R16] Weather Live° 1/5 · US Map doesn’t work: I’ve tried changing layers on the map. From radar to cloud cover etc. map just stays a ugly gray color

  15. [R42] Weather Live° 3/5 · GB Beware of adverts: Whilst accepting that I will get ads as I have not paid for the ad free I do not accept that you should be allowing ads that direct you to web sites that are classed by Norton as risky or dangerous. You must be more selective in the ads you accept. The positioning of the ads means that it is easy to accidentally click on ads when using iPhones. The app itself works well though I

  21. [R65] Weather 2/5 · US Lots of good weather stats, but…: Very poor at short-term forecasts. Predictions about rain chances are always way off.
  22. [R67] 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

You should fix it so people can actually SEE the forecast. Other than that tho great app i like the weather conditions and anim
