★★★★★ "Garbage app. Ever since they allowed advertisers, it continually freezes. Right now, I can't even open it. The apps block vital information, and it's no longer a reliable source for anything." - R B

ads open without clicking on them
The ads on this app have become absolutely ridiculous. I get that companies need funding, but having access to the weather without being bombarded with ads to the point I can't even swipe without one opening in another window is absolutely ridiculous. I am using WeatherCAN from now on. BYE FELICIA
Changed my review to one star. Too many ads, get sick and tired of it
Hard to scroll without inadvertently hitting an ad, way too many ads all over the screen. Wow!
Having to watch an ad just to check the weather is ludicrous.
garbage, wrong 75-90% of the time and constant ads
I want to see the weather not 100 useless ads, can't even scroll down without it randomly opening Amazon shop on you. trash app and weather is usually wrong .
The ads going full-screen and blocking the normal inputs of your phone until you close the ad seems like a bad design choice.
too many ads now.
you are literally the worst at your job ,you cant even predict the weather hour to hour ,even with all your bells and whistles ,I can do a better job just looking outside
Garbage app. Ever since they allowed advertisers, it continually freezes. Right now, I can't even open it. The apps block vital information, and it's no longer a reliable source for anything.
Just had a notification in regards to a monthly membership starting for this ? I have been using this app for years.. and it has been free. if you change this to a subscription based weather app..I'm gone. already get bombarded with pop-ups but have tolerated them.
I really used to like this app, but battery usage has gone way up. I uninstalled and went to another weather app which doesn't drain my battery so quickly.
The only thing this app doesn't get right is the weather
they're prediction are not accurate. I dont even know if they know what they ate for diner.
Super saturated with useless, even dangerous adds. I paid $10 for adds free, but the adds just keep coming. I want my money back. Great weather content, but terrible greedy attitude. Moving on to another useful weather app. This sucks.
this app is for sure unaccurate by far. I absolutely do not recommend this app id you want accurate information, no clue who makes this information up but they should probably go to school for something else. I would give no stars but ofcourse they wont let you
Forced full screen ads are _NOT_ ok. Figure out another revenue stream. Ads and subscriptions for a WEATHER app is rediculous.
never accurate
Constant ads. And now a pay system? Uninstalled
pretty sad you have to watch and ad to check the weather.. deleting this app..
Downgraded their services. They now want money for their app to be ad free.
The weather is Never right using this app. Can't depend on it when making plans.
Ads on a weather app - pop-up, full-screen ads, at that - are unjustifiably stupid. I'll go back to the slightly less accurate, but cost-free and ad-free, built-in weather app on my phone.
It worked great for the longest time, then suddenly, I dont get notifications for severe weather etc. I recently went from the samsung s22 ultra to the s26 plus. the s22 i always got notifications...the s26 i don't. yes I've checked my settings ..all is as it should be. I would uninstall, but I've paid for 1 year ad free. could this please be fixed. asap. I even paid for add free, and still nothing for notifications and alerts. fix this and i will give 5 stars
worst weather app ever they can not even get the temperature right for where I live, how do you mess that up??? please explain how you are ALWAYS at least 6 degrees wrong? This is why you are completely unreliable now and i am uninstalling!
Immediately a full screen popup ad. Immediately deleted. Terrible app.
very misleading color choices for temperature maps...
you'll honestly have better luck stepping outside to tell the temperature, and as for the forecast . . . You can be standing outside getting soaked while it says there's no rain coming.
dumb ads.
invasive adds, cant even look at a date without it moving adds into your face. extremely pushy
allows scam ads on the app.
So many ads I wonder whether or not this app is actually for weather
I will not now nor will I ever pay money just to check a weekly forecast
Forcing full screen unclosable scam ads! Highly inappropriate content!
super inaccurate
Garbage App don't work anymore. I knew there was a reason I don't let you make a single ad penny through me. 🤣
This used to be the best app for receiving the correct weather, lately its been wrong 95% of the time
Do not download. You endure aggressive ads for the most inaccurate forecasts.
Updates last minute completely opposite from first prediction. It's a guessing game
app only 20% accurate, so it gets a 20% rating
green for precip radar ?! NO and cannot change kmh to mph ! No good, because I expect light rain to appear as light blue not green.
The RADAR map is stuck in the past. Still showing 31 MAY 2026 at like 17h36.
the radar is on the wrong day?! the ads are pain!!! not necessary ❌
the amount of ads this app forces on the user who is just trying to check the weather is excessive.. can't look at the weather map without the app opening my Amazon app...
Still the WORST weather app on the market. Right now it is Tuesday morning and yet the Radar hasn't updated since Monday afternoon. This doesn't happen just once, no multiple times. Useless. And the Ads... As many others have stated, yes they randomly open now. Also, the App is stuck in Celsius. It won't change to Faurenheight. So just to be clear... Radar doesn't work and loads previous day, Ads force open and the Temperature format is now unchangeable. Absolutely USELESS.
Not a Trustworthy App! it is rarely correct with its weather predictions.
Too many sex app ads. Its gross.
if I could give minus stars, I would. I cannot believe that I paid for this year's ago when it was new so I didn't have to watch ads. now, they've switched to a subscription and expect me to pay more. not only that, but somehow, it just started charging me automatically without my knowledge or consent. I've reported this app for malicious behavior. do not use this app
The pop up ads are ridiculous
