Liked it until I paid for the ad-free upgrade. Now every time it updates I have to reinstall it for it to recognize my subscription. I've contacted support and they just tell me to reinstall or wait 72 hours for the app to recognize me. I want a refund. Follow up. Three months later and now the app shows I'm a premium member all of the time. And now it bugs me to do premium+ constantly. And I still get ads. Junk subscription. 👎👎
Okay app, wish they'd at least remember the page you were on within it when you boot it back up. After many years of use I've seen better versions and I'm still rather annoyed they have the gall to charge a fee with premium+ after making after making a $5 paid app with full support for almost a decade. It's serviceable. I do wish it'd give us the option of how often the battery bar temp icon updates to conserve power.
Great data, one of the worst apps I have seen. Constantly locks up, the radar freezes. I'll be looking at a static screen and the app will terminate without me doing anything. I'll get the screen asking if I want to send feedback. I thought it was my tablet but bought a new phone, latest version of android and it's even worse. Acts the same on iPad. Please spend a few dollars and fix this. The data quality is 5 stars, no stars for the quality of the app
Used to be my favourite weather app, but since the update in March my app keeps crashing as soon as I try to open it. I've uninstalled & reinstalled multiple times since then, but the bug is still not fixed, even though I contacted their support early March. I've waited this long to write a review to see whether they would get back to me after my second email, or make improvements to the app, but to no avail. 2 stars instead of 1 because I love the aesthetic of the widget & still use it.
Previous lifetime subscriber who can't afford their new subscription plan, and the ads make the app unusable. Before the March 2022 update it was never accurate, but it was close enough, and it was the cleanest looking weather app I could find. The rain dial on the main page is really useless; I can look out the window and tell if it's going to rain in the next hour. I would much rather have other values displayed on the main page such as humidity, percent chance of rain, and UV index.
I already purchased premium when it was a set price. Now you want to charge an annual fee and took away the premium from everyone who already purchased it. You can't change the rules after the game has already started. Everyone who already paid for premium should have it activated regardless of how you choose to charge for it now. I have tried force closing, clearing cache, clearing data, reinstalling app and it still says I need to buy premium.
"Superior Accuracy" is hilarious. You see those words on the loading screen every time, yet there's nothing right now. In place of the radar and weather, there's just dashes for place holders. This isn't because it's loading, that's just how it is. And the weather in the notification bar is completely gone. Works sometimes, and not very accurate when it does.
App was fantastic until you took away the weather on the notification bar. I relied on that feature daily. If you take away user- friendly popular features, you take away the convenience of the app. It's easier & safer to just look at your phone and see the weather rather than have to swipe down the notification bar in order to see the weather while driving. I commute a lot so that feature was important for me. Unhappy.
I've used this app for years, but whatever they did with the last update ruined it for me. The temp display in upper bar and lock screen was something I used regularly. With the removal of said feature, I am considering using a different app. I've been patient in waiting for the re-addition of it, but it hasn't come after at least a month. I'm beginning to believe it was intentional. Update: still no fix for temp display, still have to open app to see temps, really dumb.
For the most part, I have liked using this app only for current/future temps and forecast. The new update changed the persistent notification, and I do not like it at all. For one, it no longer shows the temperature in the top bar of the phone screen. They have also completely removed the refresh button, which means that every time I need to refresh the current temp, I have to open the app. Very tedious. I'll be using the widget while I look for a new weather app that gives me what I want.
Glad to see the temperature back in the persistent notification. However, the new persistent notification looks like it was cobbled together quickly after the backlash from removing it in the first place. Please go back to the persistent notification from v8.0.2. It looked nicer, had a refresh button, and showed the time of the last refresh. I just can't understand why you would intentionally break something that wasn't broken. Back to v8.0.2 for me.
They've slowly removed every reason to use this app. It used to be super fast, now it's slow. It used to have minimal ads, now if you look at anything other than the first screen you sit through full screen ads. Now they took away the option to have the temperature appear in your notification bar, forcing you to pull down the notification shade. It's a shame seeing how they've ruined this app more and more over the years but now I'm uninstalling and not looking back.
I liked The AccuWeather app up until the last update. I was happy with the accuracy, and I could deal with the annoying ad banners. Now it's either full page ads or a recurring $9 a year charge for a phone app. Both of which are annoying and unacceptable. This was one of my favorite apps but I don't like what you did there, AccuWeather. There also was an initial problem after the update of the weather data loading too. Restarting the phone seemed to fix that issue.
I've been using this app for some time now and happily paid for an ad-free version early on. Within the past 2 weeks I've been bombarded with 'Premium+' subscription ads when I've already paid for an ad-free version. When this happens I have to restart my phone to get the app working properly because the weather doesn't display at all.
Worked great forever. Now it won't show the temp in my notification bar all the time. Keeps showing the sun icon and I'm forced to shut down the app and restart. Eventually it works. But it happens daily now and it's an inconvenience. Update: 2 months later and problem still persists. Any plan to fix it soon? Update: This bug keeps coming back.. Uninstalling and will check back when they've had another year to try and fix
Update is garbage! I have been a long time user of this app and even went for a paid user now. This new update is horrible. I no longer have the temperature up in the status bar I have the picture of the sun now. I have to scroll down and then click on the settings to see the temperature. This update made no sense plus I'm getting notifications on places I have not been in a long time. Permissions were changed as well without my notification. If it's not broke don't fix it!
We paid for the Premium ad-free version of this app. Now they want to try to extract more money from us by trying to sell us a subscription to be ad-free. That's so shady. Runs in background with no way to turn it off. It's a battery & data drainer. Even with notifications disabled & Android set to never allow it to run in the background, this app keeps running background processes, causing battery drain & data consumption. Can no longer recommend this app because of all these issues & greed.
The recent update hs been disappointing. It takes MUCH longer before data is displayed, the layout is a step back, and in general it all seems a calculated ploy to prompt users to "upgrade" to whatever that version costs. I have acessed another app and will likely be switching full time from this one. BOTTOM LINE: It wasn't "broke", you shouldn't have "fixed" it!
Used to love this app, but with the recent removal of my favorite feature, the ability to see temp and weather at the top notification bar and on the lock screen, it has ruined the app. I've been patiently waiting for it to be re-added, but at this point, I'm going to uninstall and switch apps. If you ever bring that back, I'll be back to using this app.
entirely too many notifications. To try to mitigate this, I turned off all, except the persistent notification, and weather alerts for my area. Despite turning off news notifications, I still get them, sometimes multiple times a day. I also get multiple notifications for the same event, pretty much every time. If this doesn't get corrected, I will probably end up moving on to another weather app. When turning off a feature, it should actually turn off, instead of being ignored.
