Surprisingly accurate but awful

Have been struggling to find an app that can accurately predict rain.
This app has somewhat good data behind it.
But WOW it is unusable.
It gives four vague times of day and you have to guess what happens in between.
Needs some serious UI updates.
Cannot add a location manually- luckily it adds my current location (but the big map is stuck on Pretoria)- so is the weather actually for Pretoria? Is it coincidental that the predictions are correct?
I wish this app gets the development it needs.

Good intentions but ultimately useless

This app wouldn’t even launch on my previous phone - all I got was a white screen. But, since my city’s weather is notoriously difficult to predict by other apps, I thought let’s give this app another try on my new phone. It launched!

Unfortunately it has a bad user interface design and a list of bugs so long I won’t bore you with the details. I’ll mention the worst one though: After I set up my allocated 5 suburbs, it wouldn’t let me change them. Worse - the most important suburb, where I live and work, was set up using my GPS, but now that suburb is stuck on a faraway one I recently visited and it won’t change back, rendering the app largely unusable to me.

C’mon guys, you can do better than this. Is no-one even bothering to read the last few years’ feedback here? The money you spent developing this app is a waste if no-one uses your app.

RealityChecks ,

Full of bugs

This can and should be better. Currently its garbage and needs attention.

- Sometimes the right half of the screen starts flashing and flickering or turns completely grey, sometimes the left half.
- When not allowing access to location data, the first location is always Pretoria, without the option of deleting it or setting some of the other locations as default
- Scrolling down can get you stuck on the map section with killing the app the only way to leave it
- Scrolling and zooming on the maps almost impossible
- Map view is basically useless
- No radar or satelite or cloud or wind views
- No charts
- Detailed forecast for the day limited to 4 timeslots for the current date

This is a “my first app” type of app that seem to be abandonware. I agree with the other reviewers. This company has access to valuable data, it should be better, a lot better.
