I preferred previous version better. On the Radar map it did give a prediction or estimate for storm movements that I would always use. Now all you can see is the past to present. I found that the predicated hourly values were at most times not the same as what the Radar map would show or forecast. The app as a whole is fairly easy and informative but the change to the Radar map needs to be better.

I have been using this app for years and have liked it, but the satellite view with moving cloud section often doesn't work properly where the clouds may only jump twice for the whole cycle. What I really would like is to have it available for my desktop computer so I can have a look before I head out on a trip.

After last update it does not work anymore, just get the front page only. We know we are past Hope. First the news hour weather changes to no 3 day forecast for all of the areas in the province, now the app doesn't work for the future cast. Will have to delete the app.

This used to be a top flight app..until the dummies decided to make it better and it doesnt work correctly at all anymore. No rain on the map when its pouring rain outside, Cloudy and sunny when its completely overcast and pouring and the map shows barely any clouds. Too bad.. I guess management left for holidays and let the kids play unsupervised.

I am giving one star now because I have ask many times to have air quality and pollen forecast, nothing happened. Also in Toronto, we should have live weather twice a day at least like they do in most other provinces. The news are also very limited there is so much going in Canada, states or internationally but it's brief and not much content. There should definitely be more videos about weather around the world. I am disappointed in this app despite the nice changes they've made.

I would like to see the radar (future) have a option of slowing down the animation. It's ridiculously way too fast. That in itself, is enough to cause me to delete it. Hopefully the developers can fix this.

Not fond of this last week's update. Put back the original map part of the app. It gave superior graphics of weather patterns showing how the system is forecast over the next 8+ hours. This update gives me a headache.

The app is good, until there's a notification. No matter how many times you delete, erase, or forget it, they come back immediately, get rid of it again and 5 minutes later it comes back again. Once this is fix I'll give it a better rating until then, its hardly worth the 1 stars I gave it. There's nothing worse then being annoyed by an app.

I used to love this app, but I recently uninstalled it because it kept crashing and giving errors. It also crashed while running in the background, giving me pop-ups I had to keep closing.

Previous version was better. This app needs to be reinstalled every few months. Previous weather map was much more accurate.

I love this app. It has a great interface and usability. The only reason it has 4 stars is because the widget doesn't work for the Pixel 6 pro.

Please update this app more often. You watch the weather during the day and it is correct while the app doesn't seem to get updated regularly. Global Edmonton has on of the best forcasts on their news, lets get it on here.

I'm constantly getting ghost notifications from the app to my garmin fitness tracker. When I tap on the notifications and nothing is there. I check the app and no notifications there either...... this doesn't happen with any other app.

Cha. E. Aug 19, 2021     

I love using this app. Well... when it actually works. Tge radar over Edmonton doesn't work half the time. You can actually see the outline of the radar when it's raining. Been going on for several years now. Dont you think it's time to fix it?

Kod. D. Jun 28, 2020     

It shows an apparent storm before midnight for the next day but ALWAYS changes during the early morning to a nice day, completely innacurate for predicting future weather events. Half of the time the app shows no clouds above me but when I look up I can't see the sun.

Works well, accurate results. Love the getting the advance severe weather warnings for the specific area im about to driving in so i can contemplate rescheduling my trip.

Cor. M. Aug 2, 2019     

Notifications are relentless, had to shut them all off. App then updated on Aug 2nd & constantly sends notifications even though they are already shut off so I uninstalled.

ste. k. Jan 2, 2019     

not accurate. im a snow plow driver, and need to know when snow is coming. for example: when government apps all say 100% chance snow starting at 6:00am and -5°c; this app says cloudy and +1°c.. why is it so far off? .. uninstalled.

Most depressing weather app ever. If there's any rain in the forcast, that's all it shows even if half the day is sunny. Get some mixed rain and sun graphics! I can't take it anymore!

This new version is terrible. When you go to check the news it says no content. I use to use it for updates on the vaccine rollout but now I will find another way to do it wouldn't recommend installing it

Ann. D. Oct 24, 2019     

Pretty good app, but for over 5 years, users have been asking for FEELS LIKE temps, as in windchill or humidex, on hourly & daily forecasts. We're ignored so I'm uninstalling now; there are many excellent alternatives.

Does not give all precipitation. Mother nature does not do straight lines. Look at an area around lethbridge. It can be real hard rain/snow and the app says nothing. Also why when i am on vacation can i not look at the app?
