I came on to complain about the September update which completely changed the app. Before the change this was the only app I used as it was a simple interface and ran smoothly. Even with the ads. But that last update was so bad that it kept crashing and would have to restart. I was forced to download another competing app which I hated but I rather use that app than restart AccuWeather 3 times before it worked. But as I came to App Store to complain and was about to write my heartbroken review I decided to check to see if other ppl were having same issue and not just me( incase was my phone which I knew it wasn’t) and lo and behold 😲 there’s was another new update …. Immediately updated and just like before it opened on first try and ran smooth just like before 🤗🤗🤗. Closed and reopened just to be sure and it works good so far. So guys I saw others had same issue and if u were an AccuWeather only person Get the new download. I’m about to delete that other competing app and go back to being best pals with my AccuWeather. Thanks for listening to your customers and the app looks awesome. This was a great start to my morning 🤗🤗🤗

I’ve used AccuWeather for a looong, long time. Probably since the iPhone 2. So, essentially forever. I’ve mostly enjoyed it. I wasn’t crazy when the newest design hit, and I still miss the local interaction where you used to be able to report hyper-local conditions, but they fine tuned a few things and I got over it. I never paid to remove ads, because I’m not well off (disabled), didn’t need premium, and I figured the ads probably made them more revenue than a flat fee would anyway. My infinite regrets for giving you guys my eyeball money for all that time is now deeply heartfelt. Not only are the new Ads **incredibly** intrusive and obnoxious to a degree rarely seen outside of freemium money grab “games” (full page, won’t let you “x” out for periods of time, play loud sounds even when you’re on silent etc) but you also can’t pay a flat fee to get rid of them anymore, and those of us who didn’t pay before aren’t “grandfathered” into anything except advertising. Quite a “screw-you” to those of us who’ve been with you for so long. I’m disabled… all I want is accurate info that I can see without waiting for a full-screen advertisement to ALLOW me to control my device, so I can do what’s necessary to get my plants/pets/partner safely and comfortably where they need to be when things turn. I guess that’s too big of an ask?

There are tons of weather apps available. The devs description is accurate, but I will tell you my top Pros/Cons. PROS: ~ Love the radar. Gives you an option to view the past or future. ~ A slick “Minute by Minute” wheel that pinpoints precipitation for the next two hours. ~ A ton of features that don’t overwhelm you when launching the app. The basic stuff is clearly and nicely laid out and simple taps/swipes will get you to deeper details if desired. CONS: * The “location services” pin points my house right on the mark. But, the app declares the location is a nearby city instead of the one my house is in. * I have several weather apps that use location services plus my own house thermometer. AccuWeather many times states that it is 4-6 degrees cooler than all the others. * That’s it. Some may feel those are picky things, but it is enough to knock off a star IMHO. Overall, a great app. I was happy to pay the $4 to support the devs and also get rid of the ads. 😄UPDATE: AccuWeather no longer offers a pay once to get rid of ads. It is now a monthly or yearly fee. Besides costing much more, “family sharing” means nothing now. EVERY family member must pay the on-going fee if you want to get rid of the annoying ads. In other words, my pay once fee does not get grandfathered in. 👎🏻

This has been my go to weather app for many years because I found the display of information was easy to read quickly, it was easy to navigate, and the level of detail was helpful. I’m very disappointed to see that much of what I enjoyed was ruined with the last update. Most of the detailed info is still there, but it is hard to find. Location selector is awkward (other reviews are saying it just doesn’t work for them) and the font and graphics make it much harder to get that “at a glance” view of the weather for the day. Some information has been removed from my preferred views. I like the hourly day view graph a lot, but it takes too much scrolling to see the whole day, and the scale of the graph was adjusted so there is barely a change in the line between 60 and 100 degrees?? The change in scale and don’t also makes it harder to read the Real Feel Temps. This view also doesn’t show sunrise and sunset times (which I always look for) but they are listed on the other hourly view, which seems like a sloppy mistake. Overall very disappointed to see my once favorite weather app fall into the trap of making UI changes “just because”, with no benefit to the users.
