★★★★★ "I understand why banner ads need to be there, but get the stupid "mini-game" full screen ads out of there. having to wait to close one of those, if it can be closed, to get to the forecast is really stupid." - Kevin Long

about 3 weeks in it sows Donetk, UK
not sure why it wont show me anything. I did uninstall. re install screw this.
had some major storms come through during the evening of 6.30.2026. opened the radar and an ad popped up and hid the radar. we relied on this app during severe weather due to being in a remote area without a local tv station for weather coverage or live radar. yes, I have a weather alert radio. for the safety of my family and myself, I will be looking for another app to use. I understand I can pay for the service and do away with the ads. I have used this app for many years
100 % wrong predictions. Very disappointed.
useless
you MAY get a good rating when you successfully deliver a quality forecast! however, I bet the CHANCE is low. too many failed forecasts.
After the new update the experience has been worse. Full screen ads, not opening at all, blank screens and more.
Staff are radical .. check out some of their staffs Facebook pages. Canceled my substitution today. Stay Away.
The new ads make the app unusable. Uninstalled. Trust is gained in the long-term and can be lost in an instant.
surprisingly inaccurate
it does show the current condition on my lock screen just ' -- '
Update: The "RealFeel" on the Today display is again incorrect as compared to the hourly predictions from Google and the Weather Channel app. The other apps have feels like temperature in the mid 30s while your app has it is the high 40s. Also, the link typically provided in your response to report this issue cannot be clicked or copied on a mobile device, so please report this issue so it can be fixed!
Don't spend money on this app. Weather updates shouldn't be a subscription service. I will be forever furious with this app because after I paid for everything to never experience ads and such a few years back, they went and added a subscription tier to access a lot of things. You guys suck for that and your CEO needs to have a reality check.
The ads ruined this app. Cannot recommend.
So much ads cannot even use it
Continuously turns back on notifications I have manually turned off multiple times. good weather app but adds have become too intrusive. I shouldn't have to turn off notifications every week. problems now outway the benefits and I have to switch to another weather app.
worst app. fake information
I paid in good faith to remove ads and now ads are everywhere. this company has no integrity. I will be using a different app for weather.
It used to be just a weather app. Now it's a sluggish monster full of ads and user spying. It's impossible to use. It's constantly slow, keeps asking for new permissions, and shows ads.
Used to be decent but they sold out to commercials, I'm deleting this app after having it as long as I can remember
3rd class application It is raining in Nainital district from 3 am till 11:18 am & continued and their app is showing sunshine till 12 noon, the temperature showing in my car is 24°C and their app is showing 34°C . (Heavy Raining not normal) Mansoon entered here.
Awful pop up ads everywhere. not acceptable for a weather app
it was giving accurate weather forecast then, but recently it'll be raining at my home but the app kips telling me it's not raining 😑
We're having a lot of rain here, but the app shows no rain.🤧
straight up MALWARE. app hijacked my phone and kept restarting it every 30 sec. uninstalled this POS and all of a sudden the issue is gone.
App doesn't work; shows only a white page with nothing on it- not even a loading symbol.I uninstalled it 5 minutes after installing it. Please fix bug issue.
Radar is broken. No visible storms despite YOUR website radar showing them and now theres pop up ads.
even if this app is the most accurate out there I wouldn't use it. absolutely money hungry classic screen hoggin ads and constant pop ups/ clutter. highly suggest using something else. even just basic Google weather is leagues better than this.
you literally can't get the ads closed after they have opened. bricks the entire app causing a full closure. gave up using
ok at first but now....its same dang inaccurate its ridiculous I had plan for a nice Saturday looking at the daily Saturday morning I wake up to thunder storm so I watch the news and the next 4 hours screwed atleast.
checked app continuously for three rainy seasons , regarding rainy, info is always wrong,, even now it showing (at the time of writing message) as raining, whereas it is very sunny and not a single cloud. how do we believe whatever info is given is true?
you report 30⁰ feels like 40⁰ in San Lorenzo Makati city but its 25⁰ feels like 26⁰
Been using Accuweather for close to 15 years. Today I got a full screen video advertisement while checking the hourly forecast. On to the next weather app I guess.
I originally had this app since 2017. It was excellent. unfortunately today 26/06/26 it is now terrible. the accuracy of the temperature in this heat wave has been upto 8°c out, quoting 28°c when we all knew it would be mid 30's and ended up 37°c. Absolutely useless. I no longer recommend this app and most certainly don't pay Anthony for it. I'm binning it.
Doesn't updaye location in the background and just forces ads on you now.
Kachara app , absolute garbage bloated ratings seem fake . only wants to sell you Ads . worthless
The app keeps logging me out. This is very frustrating! Is it raining here or not? It's raining cats and dogs but my location is showing up as no rain in the area
its more of an ad viewer than a weather app. Its horrible...
some pop up game blocking app infirmation
long loading times, and ads are very annoying.
too many ads
I have the paid subscription. Lately, I am constantly having to log out and log back in for it to recognize my paid subscription.... every time I use it! I emailed support and heard nothing back from them.
Stopped working after One UI 8.5 Android 16 upgrade. Appreciate a fix. Thanks
don't even track where I'm at ever. it would be better if it did. and before you devs say anything yes I give it full access to do so. S26 Ultra fully up to date. dont blame my stuff this is definitely a company problem.
always freezing up
UV forecasts are poorly considered
recent update sucks big time
Makes no sense at all. This WEATHER app would sooner tell you about sports and the stars in the sky, but you have to pay for it to give you notifications about severe weather. Weather app, by the way. I only feel bad I can't give it no stars.
Radar is lousy and forecasts are unreliable. There are times when it has been storming overhead with lightning striking, and the radar will show no precipitation activity in the area.
Weather warning for my area would be appreciated, weather alerts that are for areas that are over 250 miles away is least helpful.
