Latest update · v7.24.43

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Hey there, forecast enthusiasts! You know what's unpredictable? The weather. You know what's NOT? Our commitment to making this app better! We've cleared up a few cloudy issues and now the app runs smoother than a sunny day. Thanks for trusting us with your weather needs!

Recurring themes

Pricing/Subscription negative
Many users are highly critical of the app's pricing model, specifically the recent, significant increases in subscription costs (e.g., from $9.99 to $59.99 or $70-$99 annually, or $5.99 weekly/monthly). They feel it's too expensive for a weather app, especially when many features are paywalled, and some report being unable to cancel or get refunds.R1R6R12R18
Accuracy negative
A significant number of recent reviews report the app's forecasts are inaccurate, often showing incorrect temperatures, precipitation, or 'feels like' values. This is a major concern for users who rely on the app for daily planning. This contradicts the developer's general claim of making the app 'better'.R1R3R9R10
Functionality/Bugs negative
Users report various technical issues, including widgets not working or displaying correctly, the app crashing or failing to open, maps not loading, and incorrect dates being shown. Some users also mention problems with location services and past purchases not being recognized. This directly contradicts the developer's claim that the app 'runs smoother'.R11R16R33R37
User Experience (Free Version) negative
The free version is heavily criticized for being overly intrusive with constant upgrade prompts and numerous ads, some of which are risky or lead to accidental clicks. Many feel the basic functionality is too limited without paying.R18R56R62R68

Who it's for

This app is for users who prioritize a visually appealing weather interface and are willing to pay a premium subscription for detailed weather information R40R51. It is NOT for users seeking a free or low-cost weather solution, those who require highly accurate forecasts consistently, or those who are easily frustrated by intrusive ads and technical glitches R46.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning pricing and accuracy, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a significant negative trajectory in user satisfaction following recent changes, likely related to pricing model adjustments and perceived declines in data quality.

  1. [R40] 5/5 · US My favorite weather app!: This app is really beautiful. I have it has a rather large widget on my phone. The app reflects the actual weather outside. If you choose to open the app, it is delightfully decorated to reflect the season or the current holiday. It has alerts for incoming weather. It shoes the sunrise and moonrise. I won’t even use any other weather app! This one is awesome.
  2. [R51] 5/5 · US Happy with this weather app: This is the best designed weather I’ve found and it’s visually pleasing as well. As an example of its usefulness, yesterday we drove north to our vacation cabin. There were winter weather warnings for our destination that predicted deep snow and high winds. I was able to save the cities we’d pass through in “locations” and keep track of the weather as we drove. Every c
  3. [R23] 5/5 · US Tiempo: Muy completo en información tremendo
  4. [R47] 5/5 · US Excelente: Excelente aplicativo, detalhado, de fácil entendimento e manuseio.
  5. [R8] 5/5 · US It’s the weather forecast. it works !: It’s right when it is. I love the times for everything the golden hour, moon settings
  6. [R35] 5/5 · US Weather App: Great at location weather and alert
  7. [R27] 5/5 · US Local Weather: This weather app gives a lot of weather information and is mostly accurate forecasts. No one can predict what the weather will be in the future, but this app comes as close as any other app in predicting the weather forecast.
  8. [R2] 5/5 · US I need accuracy every day: Excellent work on forecasting
  9. [R14] 5/5 · US Long Island weather: The weather on the app is usually pretty accurate. It’s very rarely is incorrect.
  10. [R6] 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
  11. [R46] 1/5 · US $25/month!!???: They want to charge $25 per month just for the local forecast/weather? How pathetically GREEDY can a company get! I don’t care how good the app is, the weather is the weather and the app can’t change that! Deleting immediately and going for ANY other app(which most are free) including AccuWeather
  12. [R71] 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.
  13. [R94] 3/5 · US Expensive!: It’s a pretty good app though the widget never worked for me. The price is up to $100/yr. That’s more than many years with most other weather apps that offer the same thing and more. So long Weather live.
  14. [R3] 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
  15. [R9] 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
  16. [R10] 2/5 · US Not Accurate in Portugal: I’ve been relying on this app, with paid version, for years, and I am now in Portugal. Today, I knew it was much hotter than the app indicated so changed to another app, and there was a 12°F difference! Luckily, on my hike, I was alerted to the more intense heat, before I set off. Other weather forecasts also indicated high temperatures, with heat warnings, for today. I’m
  17. [R13] 3/5 · US Inaccurate: App says fully sunny. It's actually fully cloudy.
  18. [R1] 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?!
  19. [R12] 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…
  20. [R49] 1/5 · US Para desinstalar: 7 dias de previsão é muito pouco e ainda por cima tenho de pagar para ter 14 dias????? Eu não sou um banco para pagar pata ver o tempo ainda por cima muito longe da realidade, tenho uma estação meteriologica e 75% dos dados estão errados, se quiserem que as pessoas paguem,pelo menos forneção dados acurados. App só para gastar espaço no telemóvel!!!!!!
  21. [R91] 2/5 · US Subscriptions: I don’t like how all of a sudden you need a subscription just to use half of the features it was better when you didn’t have a subscription to just to get weather information.
  22. [R16] 3/5 · US The widget is unfinished: It doesn't display the 'feels like' temperature. The widget is too long and inconvenient; I'd prefer a more compact one. · translated
  23. [R58] 4/5 · US Widget UI Bog: The widget is not usable and is solid color when icons is on clear or tinted mode. Pls fix this bog I really need this. 🤜🤛
  24. [R290] 3/5 · GB Widget not working: This is a great app, but the widget has stopped working and the app support is not easily accessible.
  25. [R432] 3/5 · GB What happened to the badge?: This used to be such a useful feature but now it’s gone???
  26. [R66] 1/5 · US Can't open: Until 8 month can't open app please check it
  27. [R472] 3/5 · GB What’s happened?: This app has always been brilliant. Yesterday though it started crashing - you open it, and it just winks shut. I am using an ipad pro, altho it did it on my iphone too. What has happened?!
  28. [R478] 3/5 · GB Weather Live: Won’t load up this morning. Opens then closes. Tried restarting phone, re-installation but nothing.
  29. [R487] 3/5 · GB App Crashing: And for no reason whatsoever, its just started crashing
  30. [R33] 4/5 · US Purchase the FULL version YEARS AGO. Dev not honoring original full purchase. Subscription only.: A few years ago I paid for Weather Live. After a few years, they move to subscription only and thus downgraded my full version to the more limited free trial. I cannot restore my old purchase. Emailed support a while back and they did not respond to the question I asked about my original purchase, s
  31. [R60] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: I bought this app outright before there was a subscription and it still works fine on my phone and my old iPad with no subscription. I got a new iPad and there’s no way to even use it now. Don’t you honor the purchase agreement anymore?
  32. [R101] 2/5 · US Great app but…: I LOVE this app, hands down the best weather app there is. Though, I had purchased this app YEARS ago, I mean years. I had been a loyal user of this app for soooo long, I had purchased it when iTunes gift cards were still popular presents. I’d know because I bought this app once we didn’t have to buy music anymore and had used it for many many years until I had gotten a new device
  33. [R25] 2/5 · US Misprints: Many incorrect displays, customer support doesn’t correct anything
  34. [R77] 1/5 · US Horrible: Canceled still was charged summited request for refund twice and both were declined
  35. [R18] 1/5 · US Not worth the download: Nice app but there’s a bunch of others that don’t bug me to upgrade everytime I open it! Delete
  36. [R56] 1/5 · US Garbage! 🤬🤔👀: Immediately after opening app it was a total and complete turnoff. No thank you to your intrusive terms and agreements especially before exploring the app. Next problem is who wants to pay $5.99 weekly for a weather app you can’t even explore first and overly intrusive?! I’m deleting as it’s never that serious to pay for a weather app I can clearly go in my browser and watch free wit
  37. [R338] 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
  38. [R344] 3/5 · GB Review: A bit annoying how adverts keep coming up for premium but with out spending money is still a good weather app
  39. [R11] 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
  40. [R37] 4/5 · US I like it. A few bugs.: I’m getting some spurious alerts but otherwise it beats the competition.
  41. [R62] 1/5 · US Not free: I downloaded the app and went through the introduction. It was seven days free and then you would be charged a monthly fee. There are other apps that are free with ads that don’t charge you. I immediately deleted the app. It is not Freight.
  42. [R68] 1/5 · US Weekly subscription: The pictures are pretty but I didn’t make it past the start up page. I’m not paying a subscription fee to inquire about the weather, nor should anyone else 🙃
