AccuWeather vs Weather

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R3] AccuWeather 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.
2. [R12] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Radar: The radar is almost always inaccurate.
3. [R58] 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. [R72] Weather 3/5 · US Add the tidal warning to your app: Please consider adding native tide tracking data (high/low tide times and heights) to the Apple Weather app for coastal areas, similar to the data available in the watchOS Tides app. It would be incredibly helpful to see ocean conditions alongside the daily weather forecast without needing a third-party app.
5. [R1] AccuWeather 1/5 · US Horrible ads: I pretty much have to force quit the app repeatedly to see the weather information I want. Also, why is AccuWeather‘s weather forecast so different from other apps for the same area, same time?
6. [R7] AccuWeather 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
7. [R25] AccuWeather 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.
8. [R62] Weather 4/5 · US Notes: Helpful when curious about the wether 👍🏿👌🏿😁
9. [R37] AccuWeather 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.
10. [R49] 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. ?!?
11. [R64] Weather 1/5 · US Always Lying: I can’t tell you how many times the weather app has led me astray. It’ll say “no rain until tomorrow” and 10 minutes into my drive it starts pouring. Sometimes it will be actively raining in my exact area and it won’t even show up as raining in the app. I understand weather is not 100% predictable, but I feel as though it’s more accurate to just look at the sky and guess than rely on
12. [R21] 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.
13. [R39] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Ads at the wrong time: I do enjoy this app and it's accuracy, however, every time I try to see the radar there is an ad. It always seems to show up when there is severe weather! Really bad timing!
14. [R40] AccuWeather 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.
15. [R61] Weather 2/5 · US Alerts don’t load: The weather alerts no longer load/open on my iPhone. They did a month ago, and there have been no updates since…
16. [R6] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Please fix notifications: I’m joining the chorus of those telling you that notifications need fixing. Each time I edit my notification settings but my edits don’t stick. There’s no way evident to save them. Mostly forecasts are accurate, so 3 stars, but you gotta fix the notifications system cuz I don’t want most of the ones you send out.
17. [R30] 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.
18. [R42] AccuWeather 3/5 · US Keep having issues: I love to get my weather from AccuWeather and have for a long time But these last couple weeks when there is severe weather I try to open my app and it doesn’t open. It says something went wrong we are working hard to fix it. Well it’s constantly. Then it will open and if I close it and try to reopen it. I will get the same message. When it does open it takes forever. Don’t kno
19. [R69] Weather 3/5 · US Turnspoon: 07/14/26 the ALERT given out on 07/05/26 will not clear out completely. It clears off lock screen but when I shutdown phone and turn back on the old ALERT is right back on the lock screen. I have reset my network but this keeps coming back again.
20. [R66] Weather 3/5 · US Decent app: Not the most accurate said it was supposed to rain all day part of the time on clear blue skies but when it’s accurate it’s ok
