I always growing up had to wait in Detroit, Michigan till 6 pm news when a famous weather forecaster Sunny Elliot would come on at 20 minutes after 6 to tell me that A. It rained that day. It was going to continue to rain through the evening and lessen till it ended by 4 am and the next day sun and a high of 79 degrees the next day Saturday. But this app is AMAZING! It tells me minute by minute, it has a radar that even someone with no experience can look and see oh that's just upper atmosphere clouds that look deceivingly like rain but nope, dry as a bone on the valley floor. I am so in love with all the new things they have added! I think the best of the best thing they have is the clock that you can say “ honey take the dog out to potty because in 6 minutes it will start to rain lightly” My husband loves this part of the app, because then I can tell him in 18 minutes it will become a downpour and we bring in the cute pillows and knick-knacks we have on a tray to enjoy out on our coffee table and couch area. Just get the free app, fall in love and then subscribe. I never knew that down deep I'm a meteorologist nerd. Maybe if I had a better showing of how seeing that the weather that comes of the coast of Africa made up the hurricanes I would have got my degree in Meteorology instead of Economics. Oh I almost forgot they have great weather stories that are awesome! Some are sad so I skip those. Plus anything the National Weather wants us to know it's right there and you can't miss it! I just love this App.

I have loved this app through and through and I really love love love the real-time minutecast and alerts. But: on the reports, why can’t you report things like ragweed pollen levels or like pet dander or whatever on it? Also I want to say that another great improvement would be like to say like “ tv glitch likeliness percentage” based on how much the rain is and how much it’s gonna block out the signal so we know “weather” 😉 ( see what I did there? 😉) or not to turn off the weather channel if we want EXTRA info from it, some people do! I don’t mean to be like picky but it would be a great nice thing to do AccuWeather. Anything else? No I think not, except for like maybe a “ thunder dB level” maybe so we can like know who loud it’s going to be because it just thundered really loud where I am maybe make it like we record the sound and like report it as “needs dB measurement” and you can tell us the dB level. With like AI or something idk but that would be great. On the TV glitch likeliness you could do it like the Minutecast doing like for every minute how likely it is? I would like to see these changes happen in the iOS app. It would be just GREAT to me and I think I would use it so much more . If you updated it like this I would really just think I would use it SoOoo much more and enjoy it 90% more than I do (100%) who doesn’t want 190% enjoy- ness rate? I would just love to see these changes happen AccuWeather. Plz make them happen. I would love this app even more. Thanks! -WeatherNut817

I’ve tried numerous weather apps and have been really frustrated until this one. I’ve now deleted all the others, which were worse than useless, and rely on this one. I’m in Minneapolis, MN and need reliable information about snowfalls...when they will hit, and how much snow will fall. This one does that with daily and hourly forecasts. It also shows you precipitation forecasts minute by minute for the next two hours, which is vital information when trying to decide whether you have time to run an errand before the roads turn slippery. I was incredibly pleased with how informative this app was, and how accurate (taking into account the inherent difficulty of predicting where snow will fall and how much will come). The predictions are detailed and regularly updated as the storm approaches, and this app matches the reliability of our local forecasters. Other apps I used were constantly showing icons for snow that was never predicted by local forecasters (and never came), or alerting me all the time that it was freezing outside. You might as well tell me the Earth is spinning...it’s utterly useless information for half the year here. So I was always always running around trying to verify the forecasts of those apps. What’s the point? But this winter, I came to trust this app. Very impressive, given a polar vortex with -29 temps, and then getting hammered with a ton of snow a few weeks later than we usually get such massive storms. Thank you for finally putting solid weather forecasts into my hands! I happily paid for the upgrade.

I’ve been obsessed with meteorology since I was a kid, and have used AccuWeather daily for years. In my personal experience the app has gotten less accurate at least with their 60 minute forecast. That was always pretty spot on with not too much inaccuracy since it’s extremely short range. Recently it has been less accurate in my experience. I just watched the hour forecast change its mind 4-5 times in a half an hour. From no rain for an hour to wait it’s going to rain for 2 minutes then stop. Next it was rain may form in 58 minutes which led me to harness my huskies for a quick walk except when we get outside oh it’s sprinkling not a big deal it’s probably the edge of the rain moving out the minute forecast said no rain so I keep walking just to have it start raining harder and I check again oh just kidding it’s going to rain for 16 minutes. It changed at least once more after I made it back inside. Meteorology isn’t an exact science so nobody should expect perfection. However, an hour forecast doesn’t typically have a lot of error it’s essentially what’s on the radar right now and how fast what direction it’s moving. Hours and days out present actual errors which are expected. This type of thing has happened a couple of other times as well. I stopped double checking the radar to compare with the hourly, except with several weather, since AccuWeather typically nails it. I think now I will definitely start double checking the radar since I’ve lost some faith in the accuracy. I still love AccuWeather, but that does keep it from being 5 stars in my opinion.
