Two years ago, I had paid for a good weather app. Now I have a useless app, full of ads that i had paid for not having ^^, rain quantity has disappeared from the week forecast, and many more preposterous changes for the sake of changing for changing. oh, one more thing: they made a white background for the app when now the phones have OLED technology and work much better with dark background, not to mention the excess of blue light on the retina. Congrats product owners, you f****d up the app.
Massive stop backwards. In 9 years I have never seen an app evolve SO badly. I've used this app for years and was very happy with it. So happy that I paid a little extra for it. The recent update was a complete disaster because users have not only lost features but the app is less intuitive and slower
Great app but the home screen widget is really hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just completely blank/white. Would be 5 stars if this got fixed
Paid to remove ads ages ago as it was an excellent weather app. Then they updated it, made it worse and I have to pay AGAIN to remove ads. Support are completely unsupportive. Just a money grabbing company - avoid
Updated review I was so annoyed I removed the app a while back. But all alternatives disappointed also. So I decided to give it a try again as there has been some updates. And to be honest, it is not disappointing anymore. The widget works again. And the app does not feel slow and sluggish. Overall I would say if like me you dropped this app a while back, install it again. Try it again. It is getting better and may get the old trusty app feeling again.
The recent 'update' to this App has absolutely ruined it. I used to subscribe to the previous 'premium' version. I loved it. It was fast, intuitive, and full of really useful information. The graphs/charts *were* great (not any more), especially the fact that you could view several different data series on the same page. The maps worked well. It is the only weather App that I ever liked enough to pay for. Then came the change... oh dear what a disaster! I stuck with it for quite a while, always hoping that subsequent updates might sort out the 'issues', but, if anything, it has gotten worse and worse. For me, the new version is almost unusable. It is painfully slow to load, often failing to load at all. I frequently have to kill the app and re-open to get it to work at all. Once open, the UI is awful. It's not at all intuitive. It's hard to find the information you need. When you do find the information you have to work your way through several different tabs to gather the info you need, and you can't view multiple items on the same page. What a massive disappointment this is. It's surprising that the team that produced what *was* once the best weather app, has managed to turn it into a strong contender for being the *worst* weather app. I'm currently trialling other free and paid-for apps, but I've not found one that is as good as the **OLD** WeatherPro! There's a n opportunity there for someone!!
Despite that the forecasts data are very extensive, detailed, accurate and reliable, I also loved the design and the amount of widget options in the old version. The new version now looks like you care more about numbers and charts than design. I thought this might be the only App I would pay premium for the rest of my life but I think I will look for a different App. Even if its less accurate and has fewer charts, I want more customisation and widgets to choose from.
weather forecast is good, but new app does not make good use of my tablet's screen - it has been 'dumbed down' for phones only. Best feature for me was the ability to see all graphs at once (and for several days at the same time) to help decide when to do things outdoors. I can now only see one. Not sure the developers did proper consumer research to see what was important in the app. My wife's ipad version still has the full experience but now looking at alternatives for Android
This was my go to weather app which I loved (free version) , but I absolutely HATE the new upgrade. White background and all pale shades so the colour contrast makes it really hard to see - particularly in bright sun. The delineation between each day is harder to make out as well - it is no longer 'at a glance' usable. The radar picture is far less clear (poor contrast), and worst of all - the lovely 'all graphs on a page' feature has just gone. In fact the only graph you get now in the free version is wind speed. You used to get all 6. Together. On one easy to view screen. I used it all the time. Even the times on the x-axis of the graph run into one another to make it even less legible. TERRIBLE. DISAPPOINTED.
I'm deeply disappointed by this so called "upgrade". A lot of functionality has been lost compared with the previous app. A lot of the charts have disappeared (lightning, pressures, etc) and where we had all the different values together in a nice overview, they are now on separate screens. Furthermore they now automatically renew your license unless you turn it off, but there is no such switch to be found in the settings within the app...!
I've been using this app for years and paying for their premium service. It was the best weather app by far. Ever since they redesigned the look, it is plagued with bugs Its fails to start sometimes, or takes to long and crashes. The widget works until you restart your phone, then you just get a white rectangular shaped box and no information. . It's been like this for 3 months. My phone has the latest firmware and operating system. The old layout looked better and worked flawlessly.
Terrible upgrade. Not only has premium status gone but so have many basic features. It was one of the few weather apps that can communicate with my Netatmo station in my garden so I had hyper-accurate weather. Now I can't even find my hometown without paying an additional subscription (which I refuse to do). There's no sign of this changing soon so I suspect I'll be uninstalling it very soon. So disappointing.
I have had a paid subscription since 2012. I had just renewed my subscription, wished I hadn't. The update is horrible. I am on my third installation because it keeps crashing. The UI is a big step back from where it was with less information. Most of the maps are not working. Widgets gone except for one unuseable and all my favourites are gone. Have a year to go on my subscription but will be switching to another app.
New redesign in May 2019 has unfortunately made the graph view much worse (it was my main reason for subscribing to a premium account). Previously I could see forecasted temperature, precipitation, wind speed, etc. all on a single page, aligned with each other for quick comparison, and I just had to scroll up and down. Now I can only see one at a time. 'Feels like' temperature is also missing. In general, information density is lower, which makes it harder to check the weather at a glance.
This used to be the best weather app by far. But the latest upgrade has completely ruined it. Its full of ads and the features that really set it apart from the rest (like temp, rainfull charts) are no longer available. Its gone from the best to the very worst weather app available. Sorry to have to say that as I have previously been a huge fan of your products.
The app seems quite reliable over-all. However, I am not sure if the weather app occasionally gets the weather quite wrong, or if the weather in my city is just schizophrenic. Either way, the updating of weather within the app may need to change (hence only 4 stars). Apart from that, it's easy to use. Ads are not annoying, and it's generally easier and more fluid than other apps to use. All in all, I'm happy, and I'm not thinking of changing any time soon.
Edit: Next update came, and there is no personalization of the home screen and graphs. Why did you have to redesign the app??? And why release it prematurely, lacking most of the best features the old app has??? Original review: All graphs should be on the same page. Weather is a sum of conditions (sunshine, rain, wind, etc.), and one needs to be able to see it immediately in the same place, not having to go through 5-6 tabs. Separating them was a horrible decision.
I paid 0,99€ per month for a premium account but suddenly the ads reappeared and the functionality was reduced to the functionality of a free account. This is not the first time. Last year, after a major update, the functionality was limited for almost a month. Now I'm done with it. I uninstalled the application and will look for a better, more reliant and less expensive app.
Disappointed with the new look and feel. Not as intuitive as before. The app got slower, sometimes would just not start within a minute. After having allowed playing with all the features for several weeks, they have been shut off without notice... If I could, I would go back to the old version. Looking for another app now.
