Weather Underground: Local Map for Negative User Reviews

Why did you change the appIf it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. You guys screwed yourselves. You should just re-release the previous version of the app.Version: 6.6.1

An fine example of how to upset your loyal customer baseI, like tens of thousands of others, send their Weather Station data, free of charge to WU for others to make use of. There is a personal cost involved in maintaining these Weather Stations and their internet connection to WU. In their latest iteration of the App, I am expected to pay WU for their Ad Free Premium Service for data I give to them freely. What planet are they on. WU, take note, you will start losing Station's if you carry on like this. Minus 5 stars awarded..Version: 6.7

Long time userI am in agreement with so many others who have used this app for years. There is much less data than what wundrground website records from individual stations. There are so many weather apps out there this used to be the one that seemed to be most local. Not any more. Yes it fives the local station data, but the forecasts seem to be no longer based on local weather stations. The forecasts don’t even agree. The daily/weekly ones don’t agree with the hourly ones!?! It can’t be that hard to build a program to compare each weather station to a regional forecast and save that co parison data for each station. Then simply produce a local forecast for how the specific station varies from the regional data. It is sad that what was a great app (though it needed some improvements) has been so degraded. In the competition of weather apps this isn’t going to last..Version: 6.7

A great app ruinedFar less info (time of sunrise/sunset, first/last light, moon info) and what there is is far more jumbled and confusingly presented. But now with extra ads,.Version: 6.4

What happened?Used to be a great app but now it’s not. Really buggy. Half the time the info for my location is there, half the time it’s empty and the title is just a comma, instead of the name of my location. Sometimes the temperature and precipitation charts are broken. What’s going on?.Version: 6.10

So slow it’s unusableUsed to be amazing but now it’s awful. I will not be renewing my subscription..Version: 6.13

Was better before the updateI used to use Wunderground for everything related to weather. I still do sometimes. This is because I have no other weather apps. But the update has made the usefulness of this app go down so much that I would prefer practically any other app. Now there are ads everywhere, you have to subscribe to see the really interesting stuff, and there are no more Smart Forecasts or weather videos. I enjoyed both of those features quite a lot. Now I have to pay a bunch of money to use Smart Forecasts and I don’t even know when or how to get the videos back. Please get rid of the ads. I don’t particularly care about Wegmans Fresh Seafood, as one example. The Wundermap doesn’t even register that there used to be a weather spot in the next neighborhood over. It doesn’t seem to exist anymore and that was my nearest weather station! I don’t want to pay 20 dollars a year just to get the same stuff that I had before. Revert the update if at all possible, PLEASE..Version: 6.6.2

RuinedAdding insult to injury, those of us that balked at upgrading because of how horrible the new version is are now being told that our old apps are being ‘retired’. If you don’t want to support us former paying customers, or provide us with the ‘new’ features, fine. But to then disable our otherwise functioning apps just rubbing salt in the wound..Version: 6.4

A disgrace, support request ignoredMany others have complained about the awful design of the current version of this app, quite rightly. Additionally I already have a paid subscription expiring next year yet I’m expected to pay to get rid of awful, intrusive ads. Queries to developers ignored. Apple should take a lead with app developers who ignore their customers but worse double dip for $’s. I would not recommend this app to anyone..Version: 6.8

Somethings gone terribly amiss.I’ve been using wunderground as my main weather app for years and it’s been awesome but over the last few months I’ve been having more and more accuracy issues and often finding people using NOAA or even the stock apple weather app are having better results when it comes to forecasts. Considering I don’t need a weather app that tells me what’s going on currently, because I can see, that makes it pretty useless. Then there’s this update they recently made to the app and oh my god it’s awful. There used to be a way to just open the map and select any weather station. Very convenient. Not any more. They’ve shifted the data into a hard to read, visually appealing, but not very informative graph layout. There’s not much to love about the new layout. So instead I’ve made the switch to PredictWind for wind forecasts (stupidly accurate and filled with cool tools)and I’m trying darkskys out as a general weather app. Good luck and don’t bother with whnderground until they go back to being a weather nerds easy playground..Version: 6.6.1

BackwardsThis app has gone backwards, I miss being able to select from different PWS in the area to get more specific. The paid version is unrealistically expensive. I prefer the app that was removed. I guess I’d score it a 2020!.Version: 6.7

BuggyCan’t log on to the latest version on IPhone. Can’t raise an issue on feedback because the how do you get your weather spinner does not work and It won’t let you submit without a selection..Version: 5.12.1

$385 weather station app should be freeWeather station works well but to use the app that supports the station a yearly subscription is required. So much for great interface, don’t subscribe and can’t really use the app as intended. Poor show guys.Version: 6.12

Reasonable, impossible to get feedback, some major flawsMajor issue - rain accumulation - near useless function of Maps .... no one knows what the figures mean, they don’t relate to weather station data, and there is no explanation Have tried to get feedback on this issue ..... impossible.Version: 6.6.1

En français s.v.p.Je n’ai pas pu l’avoir en français.Version: 6.13

Every Time I Think it can’t Get Worse……it amazes me in all the wrong ways. Seriously, it used to be so good. They’ve leveraged off thousands of users’ goodwill to share their personal weather data so it could be packaged into a valuable resource - especially in places where traditional forecasting does poorly, unfortunately, since IBM/TWC took over, even the most simple functionality has taken a dive. App doesn’t update efficiently, stations don’t show up to date information (or any information), location information is wrong (the app think’s I’ve been in the middle of the South Pacific for the past several days, while stating in the title I’m in the middle of Oregon) even with app restarts, phone reboots, and even uninstalling/reinstalling, the app maintains its delusion. If this was a new company building its user base and database, I could cut them some slack, but it’s not. It used to just work (for the user, anyway). I’m sure it didn’t work for the bottom line and I’m ok with IBM figuring out how to make it profitable, but don’t break all the functionality in the process - because that’ll only ensure it never becomes profitable..Version: 6.11

Accurate and well designedAccurate, well designed app. What more could you want? Well, a widget actually. No excuse for not providing a widget these days.Version: 6.14

Can’t log in on home pageUsed to be able to log in on home page and save to access my PWS with weather history and graphs when I open app. ( with no adds) Can now only do this with my home PC. Not sure what the driver is behind this..Version: 6.8

Dramatic forecastsNo way is going to rain 24 mm next Tuesday..Version: 6.12

BackwardsI used to love this app, but lately it’s gone backwards terribly. The “feel like” temperature never appears, the weather stations disappear, it’s just bad. Not sure what happened but I’ve deleted this app and won’t come back until you sort it out.Version: 6.6.1

The point is???Sorry but I don’t see the point of this app. Can’t log in to use it for the expensive weather station hubby bought me for Xmas. . Guess he should have checked the reviews first. Have to log in to web browser which is really just as useless unless you subscribe. In this day and age, an app log in should be a given for this type of technical device..Version: 6.14

Sept/Oct 2021 - rarely works - should be zero starsWhat started as a great app, then became a clunky app with many features deleted, has now become a digital wasteland, rarely displaying the data from any weather station, either locally or 200km away. At the moment it can’t even be classified as an app..Version: 6.9

SlowThe SLOWEST loading radar image that you could imagine. All other weather apps are WAY better than this one. You might as well watch paint dry. DELETE.Version: 6.9

FailApparently your attempt to destroy an app has been rendered successful. Congratulations. An IBM company write off..Version: 6.4

New interface not a good as old styleI agree with kiwinguy. I preferred the older version. Maps is a pain where it is, it’s slow to load. Just wanted a simple glance at the weather now have to tap on “more”. It’s also become too expensive to remove adds. Hopefully the next update is a major improvement, will be patient & hold out til see what changes have been implemented..Version: 6.5

Hourly and daily doesn’t match, drags previous searchUpdated but still frustrated. Constantly crashes, then disappears. I can no longer determine if I’m reading the city daily forecast with matching hourly, and takes too long to match current data. Both my iPad and iPhone have that issue. Example, I look at a city in Texas, daily forecast shows 85* and sunny, yet it kept part of my previous search in Colorado, where each hour shows 19* and snow. If I compare two nearby cities, I certainly don’t know if it is matching. I have ultra fast high speed internet. I cannot get local areas without a long wait. Other weather apps load in 2 seconds. Local areas must have wind gauges inside their porch. We can have high wind warnings, gusts to 50 mph, yet my areas show winds 5 mph. Forecast isn’t as good as other apps, not sure why it steadily went downhill. It often has 0% chance of rain while it rains. I live in a difficult weather area on the edge of the Rockies, and depend on weather data, if the others can do it, why can’t W/U ? Extremely frustrating. Disappointed. I’ve deleted then reinstalled, no success. The Walmart app is even better, never crashes, always updated. What a shame..Version: 6.12

IBM are greedyIBM has ruined it, they got rid of the wunder station app and you have to pay for things now I would definitely like the old one back.Version: 6.7

Change in app terribleWeather underground used to be my preferred app for weather. Ease of use, quality of information. Since the change to the new style, it is buggy and essentially completely useless and difficult to work with. Deleting it from my phone and iPad..Version: 6.3

It used to be greatThis app was great, I even paid for the original ad free version, now it’s just full of garbage ads and also lost some useful info so you’ve taken money under false pretences. We are supplying you with our stations data and it feels like we have been ripped off. This change you’ve made will be reported. Sort it out..Version: 6.8

If only there was negative stars!They don’t reply to multiple emails and I can find my station to connect to. I can’t even say they provide poor service. They don’t provide any!.Version: 6.7

Latest version not nearly as goodI went from a good two or three years using the WU app that offered everything, to the latest version app that I have now discarded in favour of other weather apps that now offer what weather underground used to. Limited features, less useful format, pay for additions that were free. Go back to how it was!.Version: 6.2.1

Devs — LISTEN to complaints!UPDATE APRIL 6, 2020 App is still horrible. What complete destruction of such a good layout. And over the last couple of updates the developers are still stubbornly sticking to this degraded visual timeline. I’m done with App, unsubscribed from Premium, will no longer tell my friends about it. NOAA seems to be a fairly good substitute. Don’t know why developer egos get so huge they can’t admit when they’ve made a mistake based on customer feedback. And feedback here should tell you a lot. WHAT did you do to the previous clean interface?? This was my go-to app, checked it throughout the day, turned a bunch of my friends on to it. But what have you just done?? MAR 2020. It used to be a clean graphic timeline of the next 10 days and an easy pop in for the hourly view. Why can I no longer swipe left and right between my favorite locations? Where did the Webcams go that displayed at the bottom of the scroll so we can see real-time images? Why have SO many features disappeared? MOST of us access this app on our phones — why are you catering to iPad app and downgrading the mobile experience?? Please go back to the Premium design you had just a month ago. I will never refer this app to anyone again. Graphic timeline had a clean presentation. For the love of god don’t just think this update is good because you’ve paid someone a re-design fee. Put ego down and listen to your users who now hate it. We all see the reviews..Version: 6.5

Lost TouchThis used to be my go to app for weather. Clear, concise and easy to find the information I wanted. The 10 day forecast with the graph was great. The latest update has ruined it..Version: 6.3

WHAT???Wait. You’re using the data from my weather station but want me to pay an annual fee to access it? I don’t mind you aggregating data and charging for its use but really? Charging the people who are giving you the data to sell is unethical, immoral, and a blatant rip-off. If I don’t see a change I will disconnect my weather station from your site. I will urge others to do the same..Version: 6.5

Needs bug fixes for iOS 11!!The app constantly crashes since updating to iOS 11 - especially when submitting conditions or trying to change stations. UI elements also vanish from time to time and randomly reappear. Have tweeted at the devs multiple but no reply....Version: 5.10.1

I PAID AND STILL GET ADS!What was a great and straightforward, easy to use app is now cluttered, awkward, and hard to decipher. In this case more is not better, it is instead confounding. On top of that it has constant ads. I bought the subscription but the ads are still there. I really loved Wunderground. Unfortunately I mistakenly allowed it to be updated yesterday on my ipad. This new version is nearly useless. The temperature and condition predictions are inaacurate, it is difficult to impossible to change the location. Really annoying is that although I have a subscription I now again have ads back after the update even though the subscription is still in force for nine more months and there seems to be no way to get rid of the ads every time I open it. On top of that the sliding system and complex displays make it almost impossible to get information quickly. All of my settings for outdoor activities are gone, and why don’t we have the simple to useSunrise sunset information displayed? This really is a terrible downgrade. Is there anyway to revert the app update?.Version: 6.6.1

I miss the old WUWhat happened to WU?? It just a cluttered mess. Go back to the old design and keep it simple..Version: 6.8

Bad redesignThe new app is poorly designed and looks worse than the previous design. You have to scroll down to see the weather forecast, and for the local station I linked to, it shows nothing - that’s the first thing you see. Please bring back the old version..Version: 6.5

Used to be goodNeglected since IBM bought it and is now becoming unusable. Mine is currently stuck on another location and the next few days weather symbols have been obscured due to a layout bug for weeks..Version: 6.13

Very poor appThis app has got worse and is not workable. I cannot even view my data from my PWS which I could do. I was hoping it would be updated, but nothing. And now I am deleting the app and taking my PWS off your site.Version: 6.10

Nothing like it wasBig disappointment as this no longer is an intelligent meteorological piece of kit. Now more a fancy app which tells me nothing about the past and is little if any use for predicting a picture of developing weather patterns. The lost history of the past week is the final nail in the coffin..Version: 6.9

No layout options, hourly jumps, location, privacyAs a daily cyclist susceptible to Chicago’s ever-changing weather, I appreciate the accuracy of the hourly forecast, the one feature for which I routinely use WU over my default weather app, WeatherBug Elite. Unfortunately, there seems no way to adjust the layout, so each time I must scroll down to the hourly forecast. Even more annoying, the hourly forecast does not reliably default to the current hour. Instead, too often I find WU hourly jumps ahead two or more days, forcing additional side scrolling. It also works best with location info for the forecast, a privacy concern that also complicates getting info for a distinct microclimate (eg, Chicago’s “cooler by the lake”). Finally, although disclosed in the App Store and somewhat modifiable, the app certainly captures a lot of info for targeted marketing. All in all, some features are best in class, but it’s not especially friendly, and it’s downright intrusive..Version: 6.8

Wunderground AppToo many intrusive ads. The app itself is clumsy and needs a lot of refining. I’m a first time user of this app and I’m not overly impressed at all. More needs to be done to make user friendly without the unnecessary distractions..Version: 6.7

From the absolute best to absolutely uselessCongratulations IBM, you really screwed the pooch with this one. (This app doesn’t deserve any stars).Version: 6.7

Stay away at all cost (yeah, you have to pay now) Bad bad redesignClunky interface. No more landscape mode for iPad. High price for premium. Hard to find the info you like. This was the best weather app there was. Revert to previous app. I will deleted and see if the old app comes back. Ruining an app 101: Do what these guys did and run your customer satisfaction to the ground... and even further below the ground. Simply incredible poor judgment in redesigning this and a greedy, very greedy subscription price (30$ CAD), so disappointing..Version: 6.11

So long WU, you ruined itREAD UPDATE*** These people are manipulating the reviews, getting real bad ones removed and posting fake good ones. If you have followed the progress over the years you’ll see how bad this app has evolved. Especially after the corporate takeover. DONT FALL FOR THE FAKE GOOD REVIEWS. THESE PEOPLE ARE SLIME. ***. Wow, this app went downhill fast on latest update. If you are still on version 5 DO NOT update to this garbage! Premium used to be $4 yearly and now is now $4 monthly. LOL Are you kidding me?! iPad is portrait mode only now, no landscape mode. This new and improved UI design is complete trash. Whoever decided this would be the direction to go is completely out of touch and clueless. Read the many many bad UI 6.xx reviews and decide for yourself. Devs totally destroyed what was the best most useful app on the market. Even if they reinstated the older version I doubt I’ll be back. Simply because I was midway through my old subscription. After this update my subscription was canceled and the only option was to pay the current price for 1 year. Sorry, no longer remotely interested in this shady operation. It’s not even 1 Star worthy anymore..Version: 6.4

Reliable?Right now: thunderstorm, rain. Your current conditions: cloudy, 7% chance of rain. Not taking you to Vegas..Version: 6.9

Rendered uselessIt’s sad but this once-great-app is now useless, it’s had it’s core hollowed out. Riding on the back of free data from the community this has been a very clumsy attempt to monetise. Stick a fork in it, she’s done. Thankful for PWS monitor as an alternative..Version: 6.5

Why did they change the Interface?Wunderground used to be (Yes, I said USED to be,) my favorite and go-to weather app. It was accurate, simple and easy to use, and most importantly, it didn’t have any advertisements popping up on the screen every 5 seconds. All of that changed once they came out with the new update. I went onto the app one day, wanting to check the weather to see if it was going to rain that day, and then suddenly, I was greeted by a slow log-in screen, a completlely different interface, ads all over the top, bottom and sides of the screen, and banners popping up saying “Upgrade to premium to get 15 days of summaries.” Along with this, the app felt extremely slow, and I felt that they are ridding you of your money, and trying to get you to pay countless amounts of money to use features that used to be comepletely free. I hope the people at this company notice the mistakes they made, along with the loss of customers and hundreds of 1-star reviews, and will decide to bring back the old Wunderground we know and love..Version: 6.6.1

V6 is a step back but will hopefully get better!14 May 2020. I wrote the below review back in Jan just after v6 was launched, and five months on (May 13) we’re at v6.6. I must say that as of this release, there have been subtle but welcome improvements, particularly in the dashboard which now provides additional instantaneous feedback. The Forecast detail view has also improved and automatically anchors to the current date and time so I don't have to swipe left to find the relevant info. On the hour tab, the day heading only changes when hour 0 and 23 transitions over the left or right of the screen respectively, which can be a little confusing. I think it would be clearer if the centre line were the trigger, so the day heading changed when 0 and 23 passed under it. It's now possible to view other weather staion info, including my own, when I touch the station icons on the map. You can also launch and view the forecast from the selected station. It’s great to see a widget back again! On a final note, there are still other improvements I’d like to see but I’m buoyed by the fact that there is clearly an active development program in an effort to regain the popularity this app clearly enjoyed.... Let's hope they succeed! 3 Jan 2020. We were warned! Unfortunately, with every new major release, the rush to launch invariably results in lost features in favour of new ”enhancements” typically decided by developers and not end-users. The reason for the version change could be numerous and valid however the current offering requires a lot more work and sadly we may never get back all of the old features we've come to enjoy. Many areas at present, are unwieldy and have become cluttered in detail view. There certainly is more detail in some areas however it's at the expense of clear instantaneous visual feedback without ”fiddling” with the display, particularly where the timeline indicator is not anchored to the current time on entry. Anyway, there's a bunch of things I could comment on, but I'm hoping the next point releases will come thick and fast and get this app back to the great one it used to be..Version: 6.6.1

Not intuitiveApp very basic. I expect to be able to see my weather station with one click but this is a bit more protracted and not very intuitive. The set up is quite painful and some lessons could be learned from apps like Ring security cams they are just so easy ....Version: 6.3

3.5 stars—glad to see some improvementI was a WU fan for years before the complete redesign a couple years ago. I eventually abandoned the service and began a quest to find something else that was as good for my purposes. I used to love the easy-to-understand, multi-day temp, precip chance graph format. The old design was summarily eliminated for a useless but colorful and “pretty” new design that just didn’t convey the same info. I was one of the frustrated users who left a one star review and went away, begrudgingly. Well, I was happy to see a move back toward the old format in the current app. I can now see several days of temp and precip trends at a glance. It’s a true step forward (or “backward” in a positive way). The first “speedometer-style” graphic is still pretty useless to me, but I just scroll down a bit for the old-school WU goodness. Thanks, app developers, for listening and considering the merits of WU’s tried and true formats. I’m back now. stars if the upgrade was more reasonably priced. $3.99/mo or $20/yr seems overpriced. I would personally find fair value at $2/mo or $12/yr..Version: 6.7

What have you done?Bring back the old version. Sorry but you have over complicated this app. Have used for years but won’t be now. Keep it simple, there’s no need for all the extra faff..Version: 6.5

What a mess.This was, for a long time the only weather app I used. It was accurate with a detailed yet easy to read interface. This two page, science report layout is a shambles. Too clunky, overload of information. You had a great thing and messed it up. Weather+, Met Office and even Apples in built weather app are all better than this..Version: 6.8

So wrong so often!All these weather apps keep touting how great their forecasting algorithms are, cannot begin to tell you how many times the rain forecast has been wrong where not even a drop of rain fell. We were better off when we weren’t relying on computers to make the predictions..Version: 6.13

Too fancy and confusingThis updated version is a disappointment. Tried to cram too much information into one screen by using poor graphics. I did like the old version easy to read and understand had everything there just needed feels like temp. The new graphics on this new version are not strong enough, trying too read them on a small screen is not easy. I think you’ve made a mistake with this update. Sorry used you for years and found the info to be more accurate but these changes have put me off..Version: 6.4

Very averageAfter buying the device expecting the best from the software I’m very disappointed and still use Seabreeze with far better and more information..Version: 6.12

LaggyLatest update as made the app undesirable to use due to the lag in the interface.Version: 6.8

Cluttered and frustratingThe presentation of information on my phone is too cluttered to the point where it is useless. There are far too m as many advertisements. Historical data is not available..Version: 6.8

Used to love it but…I used to love this app! It has a lot of great features and we, myself along with about a dozen close friends, used to use it almost exclusively. The app was great for the hourly wind direction and speed indicators, but this year the wind direction is completely wrong,if you are using an iOS product. We are boaters and the wind strength and wind direction is very important to us. Unfortunately, the only wind indicator that is correct is the original wind compass at the top, for the current time, the hourly wind direction is the complete opposite of what it should be, ALWAYS. We compared it with several of our friends; some of them using iPhones (IOS) and others that are use androids and it works correctly on the androids but it does not on any of the iPhones. I emailed the developers several months ago to make them aware of the issue, along with pictures demonstrating the problem, to which they neither answered my email nor fixed the problem. I will obviously have to search for a new app..Version: 6.9

Wow, how to remove usefulness!Terrible compared to what was! I sent in a request to change the location search box font colour in the iOS app as it is to close to the background colour and you cannot see what you are typing. This was several months ago, and still no action or effort to correct it. What a horrible departure from the past when they app owners actually appreciated and actioned feedback!.Version: 6.12

Breaking issues in UIBeen using this for years but the last few months the User Interface just doesn’t work properly any more. The days don’t line up with the graphs below and often start in the wrong day. Seems to be a drawing/screen refresh issue. Also days seem to start around 4am-6am. Very difficult to see what’s going on. I think nowadays there are much better ways to present the data. 2 stars given because I’d like the app for so long. 3 taken away because it just doesn’t work well anymore and I have no idea if any fixes are planned..Version: 6.13

Not enjoying the new updatesThis app was ALWAYS my go to for the best weather updates at a glance. Even went so far as to recommend it to friends. With the new updates, easy to decipher weather forecasts are gone and you have to dig around to try and find what you are after. More info doesn’t equate to accessibility for users.Version: 6.1.2

Widget? Information? Privacy? Less of it!This used to be a great app. It had a wonderful and informative widget, giving a quick snapshot of what to expect for the day. Why did you get away with it in the update? The new version and its new layout is even more confusing and less useful. Information is hard to find and ads occupy considerably more space. Speaking of privacy, the app seems to be more intrusive and less reliable. I’m going to switch to a different app. UPDATE: The new version of the app has improved in terms of user privacy and contains clearer information about data use and advertising. The ads are still annoying and space-devouring. A widget is back, but it is NOT *the* widget that Wunderground used to have, which contained an informative, day-in-a-glance graph of temperature and precipitation. If this kind of widget is back, I will update my rating to 5 stars again..Version: 6.6.1

Don’t bother - advertising everywhere.What a joke of an app. Not only does this app rely on a lot of user generated weather data, but you also get ads everywhere. Do NOT install this app it simply drips with advertising. Even between weather graphs and icons. Total distraction. There are much better options. Wunderground you should be ashamed of yourself!!! Total rubbish!!.Version: 6.8

What once was great now notingI’m finally writing a review because I don’t see things getting better. I’ve had this app since the beginning, in the past this app used to be great, a titan of meteorological information, it’s where I went to get all sources of information even aviation METAR data could be pulled up and read. It had amazing info graphics and a great source of tropical weather. Their network of weather stations and webcams made it very accurate to read and even see what the weather was like pretty much anywhere. sadly since IMB and the weather channel took it over it’s a husk of what used to be my favorite app on my whole phone, they were even making a dedicated storm app but that’s just dust now. I now have to go back to noaa and other sources just to find the info I want, the prediction and data displayed is often wrong or somewhat inaccurate, saying overcast yet it’s barely partly cloudy, I get storm warnings for a place that’s 50 miles away. This app is a general weather app now just like all the others bland and unremarkable. Even the website took a huge hit. Sad days in the kingdom fro those who remember what this used to be..Version: 6.8

No widget no nothing?Why have features been removed with the promise of coming back only to wait a second checks notes be gone for years at this point….I assume the devs at this point have no control bc this app has been parted out and they have to just keep it going a little while longer..Version: 6.8

Formerly a good appPrice goes up, features go down. Pity..Version: 6.4

Great app gone wrong (iPad) me too!Not only have the ads become obtrusive. But the latest update has changed the interface to the same small presentation as the iPhone. Shame, was the best weather app around..Version: 6.5

Pathetic UXAbsolutely ridiculous interface design. Finding any useful information is a real chore. There would be some good locally sourced data in this if the tech boffins would just let UX designers do their job.Version: 6.13

InaccurateThis app use to be far more accurate. Forecast precipitation is useless even for 24 hour range. Then they would like us to pay for a 15 day forecast?! Forget that! Unfortunately I must also use this app to view my personal weather station data. You guys at WG have some how traded off quality. App is useless..Version: 6.5

Dangerously inaccurateUpdate- for over 6 months this app only ever states that every day is 76 degrees. It hasn’t been near the 70s for months-its almost February. My location services are on. Location is set by GPS. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app more than 10 times. I did a factory reset on my iPhone. Still refuses to provide accurate weather info. I have zero issues with any other apps or my phone. Everything works perfectly except this app. Former review- Been saying it’s 70 degrees and sunny for weeks now, even though it’s 106 with severe flash flooding. I’ve tried reinstalling the app. Keeps going back to 70 every day. My spouse and I have been laughing for 5+ years at how we can turn on the location gps thing and standing next to each other have wildly different forecasts. This app is so spammy and full of ads, they don’t give you real weather, they just send you whatever garbage data they find first and spend the rest of the time stealing your data and draining your battery. Finally deleted the app for good, so much happier not being lied to and stolen from every day or having to recharge my phone every time I check the weather. Saying it’s 70 every day for weeks when there’s a heat advisory and several inches of flash flooding is going to kill someone. Tragic, but I can’t wait to see how much the greedy app creators need to pay out in wrongful death lawsuits..Version: 6.14

From great app to completely awfulUsed to be my only weather app as it was that good..... Then some months ago, someone / some team took over management of this app and have turned it unto a complete load of rubbish Bring back the old UI that was in place for years up until several months ago!.Version: 6.6.1

Full of bugs and crashesIt’s poor- sliders don’t work, app crashes This app has gone severely downhill Just really bad product design and execution It’s obvious it’s the UX is not thoroughly considered and is punted out to the end user community to get tested I’m amazed a product can go backwards this much.Version: 6.6.1

I'm tired of the problemsI've been a Wunderground fan for years because of the way Weather Underground sources their data and provides a comprehensive, helpful set of visuals. But this app is so buggy, so poorly laid out, and so full of annoying, performance-inhibiting ads that I'm just tired of it. There are so many weather apps that are just as good, especially now that Apple has upgraded their native app with legit sources. This app almost never refreshes when you open it, so you're always looking at the wrong data unless you remember to manually refresh. Everyday, my wife is confused by comments I make on the forecast because she's using the Apple weather app and I'm giving her bad info from Wunderground because it isn't refreshing or its got me randomly in a different location. Also adding favorites is super buggy, sometimes it sticks, sometimes it won't let you unfavorite. For something so daily and so commoditized as weather reporting, it's time to just stick with a reliable, accurate weather app..Version: 6.13

TWC killed WU!As soon as TWC officially took over the site and app, they promptly destroyed all of its functionality. They’re also manipulating the app ratings somehow. Just scroll recent and see how many 5 stars there are. With a rating of 4.2, the should be plenty. You’d think their main concern would be weather but no, turns out it’s just money. They used WU, it’s reputation, and loyal followers and exploited them all. WU, shame on you for selling out! We gave you your weather data for free, and paid a subscription fee for your services, and you show your appreciation by selling out in secret to the one company most known for inaccurate weather data and disregard and negligent to its expected purpose. They care about nothing but profits. Clearly, the private market cannot sustain a reliable, accurate, consistent weather data set and ui for public access. This is really important, life or death for some. NOAA needs to develop something like WU used to be. There’s crowdsourced weather data still ripe for the gathering at their disposal. Use it, so then we can. *THIS REVIEW SHOULD NOT BE DELETED FOR ANY REASON*.Version: 6.6.2

IPhone apIPhone ap has gone backwards. Very difficult to access personal weather station data. No access to any history. PC version is also slot less user friendly than it used to be. This is one if the few apps that is getting worse and worse. It is now just focussed on providing general forecast data. And long longer supports the personal rather stations that provide it with free data..Version: 6.5

Not very accurate at all. Not safe for outdoor enthusiasts...I have five other weather apps, this use to be the best and it would notify me way before the other apps with sever weather but, not anymore.. I have to watch the weather very closely due to all the extreme outdoor activities I’m involved in and this app could get you killed in the backcountry with the failed information they provide. I gave it two stars because it has a map that works... that’s about it. The radar is very sketchy and does not pick up everything compared to the other apps. It’s approx 90% wrong all the time anymore with the forecast and accumulation. Seriously if you do outdoor activities where your extremely far from any help, please do not trust this app! Weatherbug is crushing this app with the exact forecast. Weather underground said it was going to rain yesterday. Never dribbled a drop.. even though the radar showed it was which makes no sense.... I think you need some new programmers and developers because you turned this app into a pile of compost..Version: 6.6.1

Gone backwardsI agree completely with all points raised by Kiwinguy. This app used to be the best weather app around that I recommended to everyone I spoke to. Now it is probably one of the worst that I will definitely not recommend to anyone. Such a pity because the accuracy of the forecasts are brilliant. But does not help if it is so cumbersome to use.Version: 6.5

Why?This app has become just like all the others. Its not special at all. I used to use this app to see what the weather actually was in my immediate vicinity. It has ceased to be useful in that way. It’s fine if you just want a general idea of the weather but it no longer has the same functionality that it once had. Today I tried to use this app again to check in the rain that is falling from the sky. This app told me is was dry and no precipitation. I used to be able to see reports from other local users that could report rain. I can’t find this information anymore and I can’t even report the rain myself. This used to be a great app that crowd sourced some of its data and was able to be very accurate because if that. Now it’s no more accurate that the newspaper or any other random weather forecast. You all ruined this app for some reason. Are you making more money now? I hope it’s worth it to you. I used to tell people I work with about your app all the time. I won’t do that anymore and I’ll instead say how terrible you have made this app..Version: 6.6.2

Atrocious Weather ReliabilityThe app is frustratingly unreliable in my area. Woodstock, GA. It prognosticated 2 days of rain followed by a cloudy day earlier in the week and it ended up not raining those 2 days. Now it’s pouring down like crazy on the one day it said it wouldn’t. Earlier today it said there would be rain for one hour today which is fine but now it’s changed to rain for 5 hours?!?!? How are you even that far off on the same day!!! I planned moving into a new home around what it had told me 3 days ago and nothing that it prognosticated came to be. Everything was wrong!! It changes dramatically even on the same day you’re checking the weather for. This is beyond frustrating. This has been my experience with the app so if you live in a different area it might be better but for Georgia, it’s an absolute rodeo as to whether it’ll be accurate. Also just to note. This is not the first time I have had a bad experience with the app’s reliability. This was the final straw. I unsubscribed from the premium and uninstalled the app..Version: 6.6.2

The old version was way better!Why did they change to this new version?! The old one was so much better.Version: 6.13

Pourrie comme nouvelle applicationVraiment pourrie comme mise-à-jour de l’application.Version: 6.8

This is the Tim Hortons of appsThis was a great app until it was bought out; just like Tim Hortons. This was the only weather app I used to trust. It gave me very accurate weather conditions for my area. When Wunderground was sold, I upgraded and paid for premium but the app was horrible. I won’t use it now just like I won’t buy the awful Tim Hortons coffee..Version: 6.4

What I miss...I really miss the old version of WU before version 6. Looking back at screenshots I have, it was so much cleaner but yet more feature rich. I really don't understand the change. BUGS: - Weather Station Rain Accumulation on the map shows hourly rate and not daily totals as of version 6.6.2 WHAT I LIKE: - The map and radar loads much faster in version 6 - The daily forecast graph has been improved to look more like the old one WHAT I MISS: - Ability to slide the daily forecast graph back to previous day to check precip totals - was useful for determining how much I needed to water - Single graph on main screen that you could toggle between daily / hourly / summary (although at least I can get a detailed hourly view on a separate screen) - No ads as a contributor with a personal weather station - Slide right/left to other weather locations - Landscape mode on iPhone to see the whole week forecast - Webcams to quickly check visual weather conditions - Tropical Storm / Hurricane mode - Free smart forecasts - Ability to rearrange the screen.Version: 6.9

Charging station owners for ad-freeHere’s a note I wrote to WU Support: “So let me see if I have this correct ... I supply you with free data for your web and app based products. In addition to the free data, I pay for and maintain an expensive hardware/software system and pay for the bandwidth to get it to you. Then you want to charge me to see that data in an incomplete mobile app that has ads ... that has been previously free to me as a station owner. Which is especially galling after you have essentially abandoned all support for the webcam component in the latest integration of the mobile app … and soon on the website! That webcam wasn’t cheap either. Seems to me that you are biting the hand that feeds you. The Wunderground community of station owners are the heart of your business model. We are your business partners. What would happen if a majority of us decided to stop sending our data? Please honor your previous commitment to us as station owners and restore free access to the mobile app. And add back in the ability to see a stations webcam as one of the components.” Time to take my business and data elsewhere..Version: 6.9

Total ScamI bought the Holman Aspect WiFi from Bunnings thinking that I’d bought a weather station that was WiFi connected with an app to view my data. Not an ad laden weather app that I can eventually find my weather station on. Complete waste of $349 I’m taking this back for a full refund.Version: 6.6.2

No data just forecastsThis app is so disappointing All the weather data is gone it is just forecasts and not what I want I want to know how much rain has fallen and what the temperature is Useless.Version: 6.5

EDIT: REG OLD Weather appWell, As it happens when a big company (IBM)buys a great little company...they change it so much that it loses what made it special. Can’t select the specific PWS that is next to me for precise weather(as far as I can tell), this was my favorite feature. However you can still do this on the website. I mean it’s better than the apple iOS weather...that’s not saying much. If you are a weather nut..there are WAY better apps. “My Radar”, “PWS Monitor”, “Carrot Weather”...Wunderground because of its past rep persist..but IMO it has started to blend in, rather than stand out among the other weather apps. So I’ve uninstalled you. Maybe you’ll come to your senses. Someday oh oh someday. LOL. OLD REVIEW... I keep jumping from app to app looking for that perfect weather app...all the while wondering why my favorite weather site doesn't have an actual app. Well, it was worth the wait. Detailed weather info, NOAA Radio streams! I LOVE IT! Thanks Wunderground! (added bounus, it's free!!).Version: 6.6.2

Gone CommercialThis used to be my “go to” app for current weather and forecasts. The radar was easy to use, fast and accurate. For the past year though the functionality of this app has been in decline. Telling is the update history. Version 6.7 6.8 and 6.9, the most recent, only state to contact developer with suggestions or comments. The reason for this, in my opinion, is because they aren’t fixing bugs or improving performance with these releases, but instead are crippling the app with advertising and performance reductions in a bid to make you subscribe to the ad free premium. For example, in the past, the radar loop would load relatively fast and would loop smoothly at a speed that allowed you to visualize the speed, direction and intensity of storm development. Now the radar loads slowly and loops just as slow. Too slow for me to find it useful, or even comfortable to use. There’s plenty of other apps that now outperform this one, and I’ve decided to move on..Version: 6.9

Best to worst in one day.This app USED to absolutely amazing. The moment I found it I fell in love and instantly made it my go to weather app. Nothing even came close to what weather underground provided. The layout, features, and overall simplicity in the app was just so far beyond any other weather app available. All of these other weather apps try to make it look new and different to try and stand out, but all that does is cause a ridiculous amount of confusion and makes it difficult to even find some of the information you may be looking for. Well, I’m sad to say that Weather Underground has done exactly that. The last update changed the entire app making it unrecognizable and exactly like the apps I despised so much. That very day I seen the change I was so frustrated I took the time to find an email in hopes to try and contact them about how terrible this change was and I never waste my time with that but this was too much. Hopped on it today and it still made me mad so now I’m taking the time to vent and make sure they know this app is garbage now..Version: 6.4

RubbishEarlier free version was better, cost of the upgrade is ridiculous. Owning a PWS and offering data to WU network to use, then expected to pay full rate to access features when it was free earlier?? The website is worse, my account keeps losing my registered station and sick of reconnecting it..Version: 6.7

It actually is the Tim Hortons of appsActually TH is probably better, despite still being horrible and a data-hog. The developers don’t even reply to this app anymore which is a sin because I loved this app and the UI, and the stock weather app on iOS still lacks a lot of really good features that this app brought, but the app just seems dead..Version: 6.12

Rubbish! Disappointing.Diabolical user interface. Complicated to access my PWS data, when all it should be is one or two taps from opening the app. Also doesn’t want to let you stay logged in. PWS dashboard looks like it’s been designed by a school kid. Not what you expect to use for a professional weather station costing 200 quid! I shall also be contacting the manufacturer for an explanation as to why they couldn’t invest in building their own dedicated app..Version: 6.7

Ads! Landscape View, Missing Units, History; Map your weather stationOMG, ads have gotten out of hand - they’re super sensitive to any touch on the screen anywhere near them! I’ve never had so much trouble using this app for YEARS that the ads launch links so much! I mean they can either fix it or I can fix it by stop using WU, which would be sad after so long. Since the IBM acquisition it’s been a slow fall from grace, but doesn’t have to be - I mean just respond to feedback/update/fix!!! Do you want me to just use the original WU developers new app Windy? Bring back Landscape mode!!! It was so helpful to turn your phone and look across the wider axis of the screen at the whole multi day forecast! What happened to the Hurricane/Tropical Storm section?!? Units on the temperature and precipitation Y-axis of the daily forecast inset graph are missing. Also, it was nice to scroll left and see a few past days weather grayed out. Today’s weather conditions like the old “About this weather station” should show it on a map and give you Lat/Lon of the station like it used to.Version: 6.13

Fall from graceThis app used to be so good. After being bought out and updated, it is now horrible and horribly inefficient to get info. After years of usage, I will move on..Version: 6.4

Used to be good- now terribleApp has gone seriously downhill recently. In Vietnam now and it barely connects to any stations- even struggles with Hanoi and other main centres. Experienced similar problems in other countries too. Think the app was sold recently which has done nothing good. I’ve changed to YR.Version: 5.12.1

Upgrade in Dec 2019 ruined appWunderground was my go to for years. The changes in Dec 2019 see way more adds and cluttered screen. Hour by hour forecasting is clunky. No more local suburb weather station just generalised across a large region & city “Auckland” so the accuracy is no longer any good. Guessing it’s an attempt to push sign ups to premium version but it’s got me looking else where for weather forecasts..Version: 6.1.2

Expensive$33 a year sub? The data is provided by volunteers! You guys take yourselves too seriously. The app itself looks cluttered and is overblown with ads. Not keeping this one, I already sub to weather apps and they are much better for much less..Version: 6.8

The app does so much less than the old oneI used to have good access to my data every day. Rainfall, solar, UV, indoor temperatures, all accessible on the Weather Underground app. Elaboration at the touch of a finger to forecast times and reliability. That has all gone. No longer a good 'go to' app. That now goes to another. The other app is no longer supported it seems, for no matter the station it tells me 'a cloud has passed over and it should clear'. Not very likely it seems. Weather Underground and IBM have wrecked a perfectly good service.Version: 6.5

Still a pain, but slightly betterI have to use this to readily access the data on my weather machine, but what a nightmare compared with the good old days of Weatherlink (couldn’t upload our data from Weathercat). On this phone (iPhone 8) I can’t even get past the Allow Cookies page!! On my other phone (iPhone 10) at least I can now see my data in centigrade (hence 2 stars), after months of having to translate EVERY SINGLE TIME. I still can’t always get today’s info without shutting down my phone completely..Version: 6.8

Used to be great until v6I loved using this app as my default for weather. It had a useful widget and was easy to use. I had also paid a few dollars to remove ads. Then v6 came along in Dec 19 and ruined all these points above. I will now delete the app and use Windy and the yahoo apps instead..Version: 6.1.2

Prefer the old versionThis is a great weather app, but in its new format is not as user friendly as it was. The previous version was easy to use and well set out with all the information you needed being straight forward and simple to find..Version: 5.0

Ruined itEver since IBM took over, they’ve ruined this app. It used to have a great interface now it’s incomprehensible. Also they got rid of the gadget which is again disappointing..Version: 6.5

They’ve ruined the app.I used to love this app. Used it several times a day and recommended to everyone. But no longer. They “updated” it and it stinks. I can’t think of one improvement that they made. And right now a storm is clearly coming out of the SE on the radar but the app say it’s coming from the NE. This is on top of rain not being calculated/reported accurately. Last year in August after we’d had almost 2’ of rain and my road was flooded for the first time in 40 years but the closest weather station reporting to them that we hadn’t had rain since May. I contacted them about it and they said a weather station hadn’t been calibrated or something like that. Whatever. It’s just not accurate or reliable in a lot of ways. I trust the radar but that’s about it. This isn’t data from your local meteorogist on the tv. It’s a bunch of people with weather stations on their roofs and that’s not reliable for a lot of the info you may want. How they screwed up wind direction tonight is beyond me. Don’t spend $ on this app..Version: 6.6.2

Barely useableTouch the screen and the app changes the data. It’s annoying enough I’m not going to use it..Version: 6.12

$48 a year!The app interface is absolute garbage now. Before everything was on one screen. You could briefly glance at it and get your info. You could also customize it the way you wanted. Not anymore. This was the best weather app for the iPhone. The format was perfect why change it? The premium version went from 4 dollars a year to 48! They took their most popular app, which relies on user driven data, and jacked the price way up. Not to mention charge for features that were previously free. I will no longer be using this app. I know I could use the free version but it’s loaded with too many obnoxious adds. Congratulations on ruining the best weather app. UPDATE: instead of fixing this broken app, the devs decided to double down and lie. They have deleted thousands of one star reviews and have added fake five star reviews. That says a lot about a company. Rather than listen to their customers, they just lie and deceive even more. I will never download the app after this..Version: 6.6.1

Last version is a step backSadly version 6 is a big step back In usability. You cannot see the forecast unless you scroll down, and you have to tap more if you want to switch between hour and day view. I couldn’t find way to remove unwanted sections as well. On top of that, the ads are everywhere. Had to go back to the official weather app. Also no more widget..Version: 6.0.1

Looking for weather appLooks like you get very poor ratings. Think i will continue looking Get it together.Version: 6.9

Another Weather App Down The DrainAs a weather enthusiast this was the app we (the weather enthusiast collective) used. It used to be a fun glorious app to use. All weather right at your finger tips. Crowd sourced hyper local forecasts with the ability to have home weather stations shared and to help other locals. We could choose how we wanted the weather laid out when we opened the app. Nothing was buried having to dive into a more section then scroll through graphs or down a page to get what in the old app was “just there”! I could go on a lot about how this app has been dissected and put together with “more” sections which are actually like a web based app deflates safari page and all of the users choices removed and great relevant information that is no longer available here. Oh wait I jus did… A big sincere thank you to the original Weather Underground for selling out to The Weather Channel and to The Weather Channel as well for giving us weather enthusiasts a wake up call as to how corporations will always move in an unconscious selfish direction as to make it so people are not informed and control and monopolize their product, (even if it is nature, hell who was it Exxon that tried to patent the sun lol), so that they can sell you back features. Us weather enthusiasts will just go back to tracking things the way we used to which is an individualized experience. We where having too much fun and got to lackadaisical and too informed. Thank You!.Version: 6.6.2

Ads, Tracking, & Less TrustI’ve been using the app for a long time & have been using Weather Underground as my main source of weather for over 10 years. I even have a few weather stations (home, work, etc.) that are a part of the network. That data feeds into Weather Underground and gives them awesome data and I get an ad-free experience. Or I used to. Now I have ads on my mobile phone all over the place. Tracking is by default, selling my location data, browsing habits, etc. to who knows what sketchy company. I understand that I can log into the web version and get an ad-free experience, but I don’t plan on dragging my laptop with me everywhere. It’s been known for a while that weather apps (specifically those owned under the Weather Company owned by IBM) track, mine, & sell your data. Now that I’m getting pop ups telling me how to turn OFF the tracking that I’ve already turned off because you’ve decided to turn them back on (you know, in case I’ve decided that I’m cool with being tracked), is not so cool. It was a good run, but I bid adieu. I’m pulling all of my weather stations and sending my weather data to someone else..Version: 6.8

A Lovely Weather Graph without Time to ReferenceHi Wunderteam, Under the day or hourly forecast, the visual graphs with in depth detail of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and more information, the is a line that gives off numerical readings except if you scroll down to access anything below temperature and feels like, you lose the date and time of what your looking at which is kind of IMPORTANT! I like the visual graph and want them to stay, just insure that the little time stamp stays with in the view of the screen making the information both usable and awesome! I think this was just over looked or accidentally forgotten as if anyone saw this, it probably would of or should of been fixed. Thank You Wunderteam! This problem is not due to me or my stuff and is out of my control: My phone is a Iphone 8 and updated to IOS 14.4.1 which should be fine and my Wunderground App is fully updated to what ever I can update to app wise with my version of IOS although the problem is not unique to me but rather ubiquitous to me, my mom, dad, brother, sisters, friends... who have more expensive and less expensive phones with better and worse hardware, and softwares that are at lower versions or at higher versions that that is always better. I have a diversity of app users with the same problem. Please make us happy, thank you!.Version: 6.11

DisappointedThis used to be my favourite weather app, but since they dropped widgets and Apple Watch support I can no longer recommend..Version: 6.8

Privacy intrusionCaught this thing pasting my last copied url right after I opened the app, presumably to sell to someone because it never showed up anywhere else. Super creepy, won’t keep it on my phone, wouldn’t recommend anyone download it..Version: 6.10

TrashAfter looking for a new weather station I stumbled onto seeing that this app was back and I thought great, perfect you guys came to your senses and bought it back. But it’s trash bring back the old platform it had a 100% better layout and was full of extra info and easy to use. This is a huge disappointment..Version: 6.6.2

Extremely disappointed from favorite app to no longer wanted.Fire the pm and the info xm graphic designer immediately. This decision was terrible I can appreciate new looks and fresh ideas. I also know you can’t please everyone but this shouldn’t have gotten any further than the first revision. This used nothing of the phone’s physical size or attributes to make some guy or reading easy. I can’t glance at a day. Now I have to work to see the information. I even thought ok I don’t line this but I will give it the benefit of the doubt. I slide to find temp, I figure out the time and how disconnected it now is. Then I try to determine the windiest part of that day. The time and speed feel like they are on opposite ends of the screen., worse the time slide starts moving it took me roughly 20 seconds to figure out and not exactly what the wind speed might be, might be. 20 seconds. Disappointing and dismal my favorite app on my phone you dissected and disemboweled. Harsh words for a harsh job. Truely disappointing. I can see by the length of others you have really gone off the deep end. I never see reviews and have never really provided a lengthy review as such..Version: 6.4

WORST design since bought out by The Weather ChannelNever have I seen so many design changes that actually make it MORE cumbersome to receive the same information. I used to rely on WU for hourly drill down of temp, wind, humidity and precipitation to plan my day. Now I’m forced to go back and forth , scrolling up and down in the “More” section of the Daily Forecast while trying to keep track of what hour of the day I’m looking at. All of this used to be in one neat side-scrolling graphic. SO PAINFUL! Map animation is also painfully slow. The “Current Conditions” is frequently broken with no info. These people have become masters in the art of fixing stuff that ain’t broken!!! Please bring back the old version. —Looking for a better app..Version: 6.9

New update is USELESSUPDATE: I wrote the following review weeks ago and came back to see if maybe they fixed the app. No they didn’t fix the app and I found out they deleted my ONE STAR review. THAT IS A SCAM TO DELETE PEOPLES REVIEWS. I have had this app for years and years. It has been my favorite app for all weather inquiries. With this new update I’m sad to say that I now have to delete it from my phone. Their is just too many things wrong with the change. I have owned iPhones since the iPhone 3 was released and this is the first app that I can ever remember giving one star to. So that should tell you how bad it is now. Never change an app completely. If you have a vision on what you want your app to look like, then slowly change it through updates so the users can get used to the change slowly. The first time I opened the app after the update I couldn’t believe that you changed everything. I use to be able to see all the things I needed to know right at the top of the screen. Now I have to scroll through most of the app just to get a few different weather inquiries. If you change it back then I will be a returning user. Until then, sorry to say “goodbye”..Version: 6.4

IBM killed it.What used to be a great source of community driven weather data and detail, IBM have since destroyed and turned into complete garbage. Pity. With all the PWS integrations and a whole community built on this feature, it’s a shame to have thrown it all away..Version: 6.13

Crap appCharged a lot of money for premium and even though I got my own weather station it’s still not compatible because they only want to connect with purple air or whatever.Version: 6.10

Absolute pooNo historical data?! How about you leave us to decide when we do gardening or go running, and you focus on presenting the actual data people are collecting and want to see….Version: 6.11.1

Fallen app.Something has gone wrong. This was a good app to use and now just average. There are some other good apps out there to compete with. Maybe just not for the UK & Europe anymore. 😕.Version: 6.7

SAD. :(Tried several time to add my weather but always says off line. After reading the reviews I think it is best for me to find another spot to post my weather. This application has problems and I don’t need problems, got enough of my own. Bye bye.Version: 6.11

Not the best it could beI would like to see my historical data within the app not so much a forecast. I’d also like to see the amount of rain on the main page not the percentage of rain instead of having to select more.Version: 6.13

What is going on?I used to love this app & now it never shows the current temperature… is there something I need to do?.Version: 6.9

Rip off!Have been a WU user for over a decade. The developers have removed support for WU members & it’s now almost £20 per year. For what to look at my own weather data. Deleted - will just use the website for my PWS. Shame the respect for the WU community is gone. 😕.Version: 6.7

Update removes login for add freeThe app is great. But why remove PWS login ? Just so everyone pays $6 I just don’t get it unless it is all about profit move not the community based PWS weather..Version: 6.4

Doesn’t work!I installed a personal Weather station on Saturday. The app shows my station but there’s no data. Online the station is there and reporting. The app is a waste of time and space on my phone. I have used the app for years but since I can’t access my station I don’t need it anymore unless you can fix it for me..Version: 6.8

Disappointed !! Double Charging ....I bought into this app some time ago making a one off payment to remove ads. Ads have now come back into the app. I’m advised by their support team that I now have to buy in to their new subscription model if I want to remove them.... Seems my only option is to delete the app & write off the money I have spent as I will not subscribe to an untrustworthy company !!.Version: 6.6.2

Won’t register my weather station although I have tried and retried a every possible configurationUseless, I have tried every possible configuration for my weather station to register it on Wunderground - nothing works. Absolutely no support from Wunderground.Version: 6.8

Update Ruined the AppThis app was previously great but now after the last update it is terrible due to the following: multiple intrusive ads, confusing UI, no forecast, etc. The worst part is: I have a weather station and share my data with them for free but they want to charge me money to use certain features that without my data they could not even supply! Shame on you guys and your greedy cash grab. Whoever is in charge should seriously rethink their strategy because it is doomed to fail..Version: 6.5

Features goneYou have to pay to use basic features.Version: 6.8

Après l’achat info erronéeComment expliquer que l’application est super et après l’achat l’information est complètement erronée? C’est du n’importe quoi.Version: 6.14

Useless app by greedy companyI own a PWS for many years and the app including the so called premium features used to be free in exchange for me uploading my PWS data to wunderground. They even advertise that they are the best weather app BECAUSE of so many PWS uploading their data. With these changes I will take my PWS offline and move to another platform. Why share my data for free if they treat their data source like this. I can only hope more PWS owners feel the same....Version: 6.7

IBM Redesign Killed This AppI’ve been a paying customer of Weather Underground for years, and the things I used to like about the app were how easy it was to read large amounts of data from local stations at once, and how they translated among views. When IBM acquired Wunderground and redesigned the app to be “sleeker,” they utterly destroyed that ease of use by oversimplification. Everything is in one continuous column except the subviews, so you see less at once. Scales on graphs are arbitrary and not marked on the main view. No more scrubbing flag on the conditions-over-time graph unless you enter the detailed view. No more precipitation graph in the widget, which hasn’t been updated for the new iOS 14 widget framework. Everything in the app feels worse and less helpful after the redesign, and never improved. It all still works, and you still get local weather station data, but it will never be as joyfully easy to read as the pre-IBM app, and that is a shame. The data here is still good, but it’s just nowhere near what it used to be before 2018..Version: 6.7

911 of weather appsIt was great. It got bombed by IBM. Now we watch the dust from the great fallen towers of forecasting..Version: 6.9

PointlessRadar tells you what the weather has been from 4hrs to present time, not what the weather is going to be for the next 4hrs.Version: 6.12

Redefining "improved"1) it doesn't want to even know my WU ID. It's focused on my Apple ID. 2) It can't find my location, even though it's the name of the weather station (Udny). 3) You have to dig around to find the weather station data pages. 4) It demands a subscription to use it without ads regardless of whether I am already subscribe to WU. 5) it's clumsy, and frankly isn't what I need. The WU seems to be changing its focus, boosting forecasting over weather station reporting. There's plenty forecasters out there - we're falling over them. There's only a handful of usable sites echo PWS data. I find I'm preferring Weathercloud nowadays, anyway. If my sub means so little to the WU I'll transfer it there. In brief, the app has no advantages over using a web browser, only disadvantages..Version: 6.7

Not worth the time it takes to downloadOnce a fantastic app. Ruined after corporate buy out. With all the bad reviews, you would think they would notice and do something about it. That is capitalism at its best....Version: 6.8

Rainfall?I find the app very difficult to use - perhaps it suits some people - I’m interested primarily in rainfall recording, and that’s certainly not a feature of this app. Apparently it used to be good, but I’ll be avoiding any device which features Wunderground.Version: 6.8

No temperature infoHow can I check the current temperature when it shows blank?.Version: 6.9

Why?I have had this app for years and used it almost daily. It was amazing and super accurate. To the point where I could say things like “it’s going to start raining in 18 minutes” and be right every time. That matters when you are working outside and need to cover your work but also on a time crunch and need to work every minute possible. I waited until the force update day. Annoyed at how many adds there now were and their placement but could deal with it. Annoyed that features previously available were now behind a paywall but I could deal with that. Woke up around 2:30 in the morning to the sound of rain, checked the app. Not only did it say nothing of rain but also informed me it was sunny out. In the middle of the night. Out of curiosity and habit I still check the app a lot. Not once has it been accurate. Why would they totally destroy such an awesome app? Looking for a new weather app and using the disappointing stock weather app that came with the phone until I find a new one..Version: 6.5

Poor effortAs others have said. The latest version is rubbish. To add to this it will not work with my iPhone (we don't all have the latest model!). I will now have to look for a new app and will stop uploading my PWS data to your server..Version: 6.4

The death of a once great appI am so sad to say that the once great Wunderground app has been rendered almost useless in the latest version. If they are there at all, the once great “at a glance” features are now either one or two clicks away or missing altogether. If the developers of this site are interested in keeping any of their loyal base they will take immediate steps to move back to their previous versions and find some other way to increase advertising revenues. If they don’t, I for one will be finding another weather app..Version: 6.3

Meh. Cluttered. Not streamlined.I was forced to find a new Weather app after Apple, the grotesque corporate tech behemoth, acquired the beloved Dark Sky app and killed it in order to crush the competition. This app does not hold a candle to the weather app I’m used to using in terms of its features or ease of use. The information it contains is fairly consistent, but aren’t they all the same these days in that respect? Everything relevant should be at your fingertips on one page of your phone. It’s not. You will find yourself scrolling and scrolling, vertically and horizontally, to access information. Views far into the future or far into the past are not easily accessible, if they exist. It’s overrun with advertising. I can’t find the precipitation radar app yet if there is one. and worst of all, with this app we’re back to the idiotic, simplistic weather icons. how is it possible that we have come this far with technology only to be reduced to describing complex weather phenomena with crude symbols, like the outline of a cloud, or a little sunshine symbol peeking out from behind a cloud? There has to be a more comprehensive way to describe this information that’s still quick and easy to read..Version: 6.13

Lose the gambling ads !Not the app it once was!! The real strength of the app is it gives local weather. This is really helpful for planning outdoor activities. It’s weaknesses are a non-intuitive dashboard (since a disastrous overhaul) and pushy advertisements for GAMBLING amongst other things. I find it hard to reconcile this unpleasant, clumsy, app with the one I once valued..Version: 6.7

Lost Features, DisappointingFinding a new weather station, changing layers, running conditions removed. Where did they all go. Weather underground appears to have sold out. When the app first change it was not user friendly and hard to navigate and find the previously used features. I use the app several times everyday as I live on the coast and things can be very different with time or location. I have always trusted WU and recommend it to anyone I can. It has helped me run out a storm on the way to a boat landing many times. Unfortunately, the other features that were lost are quite missed. There is no longer hurricane info or am I able to add those layers during Hurricane season. There is also a glitch with your current location. It stays on previous locations even after shutting phone down. You can’t change it because you can’t pick a station any longer. My husband and I can be looking at the app and see two different things. Its very frustrating. I hope there are plans to make the app better because with the changes it’s not encouraging me to go premium..Version: 6.7

Poor. Used to be goodLoved looking at the stats from local weather stations on here. But recently they have been all over the place. Today (13 January 2021) we have had some of the wettest weather for a while. But each weather station shows 0.5mm for the past 24 hours - or at least since midnight last night Unbelievably bad. Whether it’s bad data, bad design or other I cannot see anyone benefitting from the app.Version: 6.8

Useless app nowSupposed to display info from a PWS but is only useful for those who don’t have one , what’s the point of the app now . It’s also grossly incorrect When I change my PWS I will ensure that it doesn’t require weather underground to access as I despise providing data to such a greedy and inconsiderate company that does nothing to support the PWS owners that provide the information this company needs to have..Version: 6.13

Not as good as previous versionsThis app has severely limited its actions. Not as many stations in Ca. Cannot get nearby stations easily. Old versions were able to select them from a drop down list. Instead of increasing the density of a map Double taps continuously bring you the weather statements for an area. There is no increase decrease zoom box. On the bright side, they did update their maps for my city to a 2020 Fall version..Version: 6.8

App (or it’s ability to speak to individual weather stations) no longer workingI have really enjoyed this app For several years but in the last month or so, most of the weather stations on my list appear with /two dashes inside a circle/ which means the weather info is not available. This app used to be really reliable and there are two weather stations located within a mile of my house in an area of NorthernCalifornia with many microclimates which was so helpful because we are usually a 10 degree difference here than in town. Even the weather station in town shows up “unavailable” these days. As do the weather stations near the coast, 2+ hours inland at my parents place, my friends in Southern California… there seems to be no logical (to an un-sciencey person like myself) explanation or pattern. Needless to say, I’m bummed. I don’t know of another app that people can check the weather of such specific coordinates. I have been checking for app updates almost daily, hoping that one will pop up that will allow me to use the app reliably again. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there hope?.Version: 6.9

App become less user-friendlyRecent Updates changed layout from simple and intuitive to confusing and often inaccurate. Now hard to find info, and when I do it is often wrong. Developers tweaking have spoiled a formerly valuable resource for us in regional/rural areas..Version: 6.5

PR disaster for IBMIBM bought the best weather app, removed half the functionality, and the forecast accuracy is now abysmally low. But thanks to Apple now you can see the tracking of each app. Check yourself the tracking from Wunderground, and the tracking from Windy. Wunderground is basically IBM’s new tracking machine. Uninstalled..Version: 6.8

Disappointing, seems like a money grabI just wanted a nice presentation of my own data, which by sharing with Wunderground makes it available to the world at large, but now they want me to pay for ad removal (which I already did as a one off in the past which I thought was lifetime) and think its OK . Well, Wunderground, it is not. I will be deleting my weather station from your database and logging out of the account until you see sense..Version: 6.6.1

Used to be a great app, ruinedThis was my one and only weather app for years, until the latest redesign ruined the interface - I tried to get used to it for a day or two but hated it so much I deleted the app and I bought Carrot, which has a nice clean interface and good privacy protections (and a great humor team, added bonus). Highly recommend switching. The top feature I used to love about weather underground was the temperature and precipitation odds graph - the graph was the single most useful and unique feature of WU, quickly indicating what to expect when. Now, the graph is further down in the app and squished to such a degree it’s unusable. I also used to love the nice clean current weather bubble right up front, with the color border quickly indicating current temp, a few smaller weather stats visible, and a radar thumbnail that could be expanded if you wanted to - now it’s a hideous color wheel that doesn’t tell you anything up front. The ads also used to be unobtrusive and you could buy out of ads entirely. Now, I’m outta here..Version: 6.4

What happened?I used this app for many years and loved it, it was fantastic, accurate and very user friendly..... now it isn’t and is more a liability. Changes to the user interface not so long ago killed it for me, it’s so illogical and cumbersome to use now I simply found it easier to switch to other new apps on the market. The golden rule of any business if you have something that works don’t change it, and if you must do extensive market testing first before you release anything! Clearly the latter was not done here and you can see the public response.... what a miscalculation, or utter arrogance, but either way it’s probably put the final nail in the coffin for this app! Stupid doesn’t cover it!.Version: 6.6.1

Used to be great, slowly went downhill to thisUsed to be a good UI with easy at-a-glance viewing of the essential data. Gradually became less reliable until someone else seemingly took over development. But now, the hour and week graphs are an inch tall with a huge range, -10C to +30C which means there’s no resolution as the temperature essentially never goes from -10 to +30 in the same week. Meaning the range from 0 C to 15C that it does go is compressed into a tiny space. Same for wind and rain. This means you have to scroll down and then you lose the axis labels showing the time or date - so you have to constantly scroll up and down to see what the time is! It’s unbelievably ridiculous and is so bad that whoever came up with that design should be fired. Oh and the stupid temperature gauge on the first screen is pointless, it’s also got no key or labelling. Everyone knows what 15C right now means, there’s no need for a clunky looking gauge too. Revert to the old UI and everyone would be happy..Version: 6.6

Family share subscription??!If the incomprehensible changes to the app were not enough, I have just found out I have had to pay another ~£20 so my wife’s “family shared subscription” stops the incessant adverts. This app used to be “shared” and clearly is now just another means of making even more money. Shame on you! - we certainly will not be renewing the subscriptions next year!!!.Version: 6.7

Login???I have a Wunderground account to access my weather stations but this app doesn’t have a login page so I’m only able to access via webpage..Version: 6.11

Great app, when it worksLove this app because it gives more accurate data for my location than other apps that simply use our local airport info. However, for the last few weeks it’s not been showing any temps and the charts are displaying oddly making me need to look elsewhere for accurate data. I’m sad. Also, would rather have emailed, but their email set-up has so many check boxes I’m not sure what I’m reporting by the time I get to explain my problem.Version: 6.9

Highway robberyThis used to be a fantastic app, which I used every single day to monitor local weather and input from my weather station. The app has changed so that it’s no longer attractive or easy to use. Worse still weather underground want to get my weather station data for free and then charges me £4 a month to see local reports produced by me and other weather stations locally. I will be disconnecting my weather station immediately..Version: 6.6.1

Apple watchInstead of using all the flowery language in your update presentation which doesn't impress me, why dont you concentrate on making your app work properly on the Apple watch. It's so slow in starting up or won't start up at all in "glances".Version: 5.3.1

Version updateThe updated version is a backward step, the weather station we had on this app comes and goes and the precipitation measurement section has gone!! We were using this for orchard management and told several people about how good it WAS, now we wish we had said nothing as this version is an embarrassment. Disappointed, Barry.Version: 6.2

Roll it back!I agree with the huge majority of reviewers who are hugely disappointed with how cumbersome and confusing this app became at the last major “upgrade”. I am a PWS owner and contributor. I would be OK with something complex if it gave me benefits. But this just hard to read. I’ve held off reviewing in the hope it would grow on me, but no. When your user community has turned against you, guys, listen to them! Treat it as a beta that failed. Roll it back. Quickly. Before you lose your whole community!.Version: 6.6.1

Not really Family Sharing...Heads up! The premium version (without ads) is an in-app purchase! The Wunderground app does not include Family Sharing with any in-app purchases. There is no advantage for family members to download a ‘Free’ (to receive ads) app version, via a Family Sharing account? A disappointing factor for the community adding data to Wunderground via their private weather stations..Version: 6.7

Months in, new app still much worse than preciousUpdate (March 2020): now that last year’s $2.79 subscription has expired, I see that to get another ad-free year and “premium” functions (they’re really not that special) will now cost $26.49. What a disgrace. The app is still a worse design than before it was bought out, and it’s ten times more expensive! A total disgrace. Update (March 2020): there have been improvements since my last review, such as precipitation amounts, but this remains a poor design compared to the previous Wunderground app. It’s like they tried to reinvent the wheel all over again, and did it poorly. Update (January 2020): The more I use this new update, the more I hate it. Looking for other weather apps. It is so bad! Has been a great app till now, but the new UI is less clear, more complicated and more confusing. In the old UI you could see several important pieces of information in once glance. Now you have to poke around trying to figure out a) where information is and b) how to read it. A major step backwards..Version: 6.4

UselessUsed to be great, quite unique with user-friendly functions, plus historical data and graphs for rainfall, sun, wind etc. Now it is just a basic weather reporting/forecasting app, with limited scope. Who decided to ruin it?.Version: 6.7

DisappointingI’ve been a WU subscriber for years. Like most people in the reviews, I was also disappointed at the big update about a year ago. Unfortunately, there still wasn’t a weather app that gave the amount of information I wanted, so I have still been using WU. Recently though, when I open the app, it won’t even display the temperature or any current weather info. Instead everything is appears with dashes in place of metrics saying that the information is temporarily unavailable. The website also states that premium subscriptions come with 24-hour future radar, which I don’t see anywhere in the app. The radar stops at the current time still. I wish that they kept the feature of being able to report the current weather condition where you are, because often when it is lightly raining or spritzing outside (enough for umbrellas) the app doesn’t pick that up and says it’s not raining. That type of weather was usually picked up by local reports from people on their current weather conditions. Now it’s just as useless as the other apps..Version: 6.9

Has Been?Current advise - not worth the effort. I’ve had this app for years and years, and have loved it. I used to pay the extra because I believed it was the thing to do with quality apps. I thought the wind maps were awesome, and frequently viewed the surface wind as well as the jet stream maps. The ease of use of the wind maps was one of the first items buried when WU and IBM became strange bedfellows. I called/emailed my concern and they helped me find them (buried). Over time, I forgot where they were. Since then, everything has become too busy and/or buried. The cost for add free has gone way up, while usability has gone way down. Some of the storm info abilities have been removed, now requires another app. I am no longer happy with the app, nor with any of the companies related to this weather fiasco. I will keep it for a backup until I am comfortable with a new app. So sad. 🥲 🙈 ⛅️.Version: 6.13

Showing adsI supply WU with data and now they are showing me ads. Well then WU, no data for you. You cannot just take away a service without notifying your customers. Absolutely disgraceful..Version: 6.7

Meh!!It looks pretty but…I mean I can’t even get my current location information. The nearest weather information i can get is for the city 25 kilometres away. Pathetic really. Every other weather app has be able to pinpoint my exact location and it’s nearest weather station. Not Weather Underground. And that thing about the best weather conditions for gardening, cycling etc. that is a joke. And you actually want money for this pile of dog doodoo? Get your act together people..Version: 6.9

Won’t allow you to turn off trackingThis app falls foul of the new Apple rules on tracking. It won’t let you turn off tracking and won’t let you use the app unless you agree to be tracked..Version: 6.8

What went wrong?Weather underground has an exemplary reputation years ago, this app really lets them down. Terrible..Version: 6.11

Big Tech--where all good apps go to dieWeather Underground was once a functional, well designed weather resource. Now it is a bloated advertising cash cow (even if you are a subscriber) for IBM. Definitely a big F- for this previously amazing app..Version: 6.3

Sluggish & Often IncorrectI’ve noticed over the last few months that the app has been much slower in updating the current weather and forecast when I initiate a page refresh. It sometimes displays weather from another saved city in my saved list as the local weather for the actual location I’m in. Also, I depend on accurate hyper local weather forecasts. I do all of my work in the field, mostly while primitive camping. I need to know what to prepare for, to avoid setting up camp on a ridge versus a valley. A conservative estimate on their 3-4 hour forecast accuracy would be 40% at best. Far too often, I will check the forecast before bed and the night will be clear skies or partly cloudy, then I’ll wake up in the early morning to lightning and thunder! Prediction accuracy of major storms 4-5 days out is abysmal. Please post your new favorite weather app because I’m looking around for a better service. This is just an ad machine with a basic radar function and broadly inaccurate weather forecasts..Version: 6.16

How do I access MY weather stationThe instructions to access my weather station said to use this app, but can’t seem to find anyway to login 🤷‍♂️🤨.Version: 6.10

There’s no historyYou can only see the weather at the time or the forecast. There’s no history of previous days weather, no graphs, no data, even when it’s your own personal weather station. Seems pretty stupid to me to collect all this data and not be able to see/review it!!!.Version: 6.8

I prefer weather apps that show temperatureThis one rarely does.Version: 6.9

Still not greatThe couple of minor UI improvements are fine and the reintroduction of the widget is a step in the right direction, but this app is still nowhere near the quality it was prior to its disastrous overhaul. The new widget is extremely basic compared to the beautiful, informative and intuitive one that existed before. I just can’t understand why you wouldn’t just reimplement that one (or why you would remove it in the first place). So many baffling decisions have been made with this app since it changed hands. I’m starting to lose hope that it’ll return to its former glory..Version: 6.6

Shockingly badThose who remember the first or second iPhone will know how this company created a certain popular and innovative app called something like Wunderadio. Now their apps are pitiful in my opinion and becoming worse. Error 404 is a common occurrence when trying to find the weather at your specific location that used to work. Some features not longer available and their api is gone. This app doesn't cut its anymore. Don't let anyone mislead you to believe otherwise.Version: 6.9

Rainfall totalsIt would be nice to have daily rainfall data with a monthly total. Also for Australian users the daily data should be brought in line with the Australian BOM that is 9am to 9am 24 hr data..Version: 6.14

6.4 is Crippleware.As a longtime user, I must unfortunately concur with criticism of this latest forced upgrade. Simply put, it is commercially-driven crippleware. An example is the daily summaries, which have been replaced by a conspicuous advert: ‘Upgrade now to get 15 days of summaries’ (for $48/year). The existing summary menu is buried at the bottom of the screen where most users won’t find it or recognize it. Hourly forecast graphing is harder to access and far less readable, and even the Wundermap itself, the distinguishing feature of Weather Underground, has been made less useful and visible. (Although, I approve of the improved mapping quality.) Instead of fixing long-term bugs like disappearing crowd-sourced weather report controls, and cumbersome menus, they have made the app less distinctive, more generic, less functional and more obviously commercial. Within minutes of using the new app, I found a new bug. Woe be the user who selects ‘my location’ (GPS), when searching for the missing Wundermap station functionality. (Make that two new bugs, or one new bug, and one old one.) As of 6.4, I am looking for a new weather app. Unfortunately, none of the mundane options which these developers are inexplicably trying to emulate come close to what WU offers in terms of granular weather data. If only they would hire competent developers.....Version: 6.4

Terrible Weather App after buy outThis app is horrible now. Used to be the best now it’s useless. Do not download.Version: 6.9

Inaccurate rubbishThis used to be my go to app but for the past several weeks it’s been useless. Every element be it wind , rain, radar , temperature is so off the mark it’s laughable. Deleted! Shame on you IBM for putting out such an app..Version: 6.7
