Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

It started to crash so I updated. Now it doesn’t open

★ · v6.21 · Oct 10, 2026

Was my favorite weather app. Then it started getting crashy lately so I updated. Now it doesn’t even open. iPhone 17Pro I had to move on.

Barometric Pressure

★ · v6.21 · Oct 8, 2026

Barometric pressure does not appear on app and apparently cannot be added (you can only see it if you go to their website) ! I attempted to use app support but no info there. Chatbot it is only available for support if you agree to your data being used throughout their vendor base. Google search claims it is included however the actual app; as well as the screen shots in the App Store, clearly show that it is not. You clearly have the data - why can’t we see it. I will be happy to update this review if someone can show me how to display barometric pressure on the app.

Upgraded / dated/days all wrong

Radar doesn’t work + crashes

★ · v6.21 · Oct 2, 2026

I’ve used this app for years. Recently it’s become useless. Using other weather apps as a result.

Crashes regularly

★ · v6.21 · Sep 30, 2026

This use to be my absolute favorite weather app, but over the 6-12 months, it has started crashing all the time. I use to have a really old iphone and i thought it may just be an issue with that, but i recently got an iphone 17 and it still crashes most times i use it.

Completely inaccurate

★★ · v6.21 · Sep 20, 2026

The forecast by this app changes constantly with basically a look outside and see what it’s doing brand of accuracy. No real technical expertise it seems. Not reliable for anything at all.

Unreliable, clunky, plus ads

★ · v6.21 · Sep 20, 2026

I really wanted to like this app, but it can’t even get same-day forecasts accurate. Navigation is also clunky. The Sydney Sweeney sports betting ad was the final straw. If you can’t manage to give me accurate forecasts, at least have some class.

App constantly freezes

★ · v6.21 · Sep 19, 2026

App hasn’t been updated in over a year. App constantly freezes and requires a force quit and restart about 50% of the time. This app has fallen a long way from where it started.

Porn on ads

★ · v6.21 · Sep 11, 2026

This was awful to pull up and check the weather and see half naked women in the app Awful

Frost

★ · v6.21 · Sep 10, 2026

Says low tonight of 52, woke up and app says temp is 39, but still says low will be 52, walked outside to frost on ground and hose partially frozen. Not good for my location

Text is tiny

★★ · v6.21 · Sep 10, 2026

Text is tiny and you can’t adjust it. I thought apps were trying to be accessible? Guess not.

Sucks

★ · v6.21 · Sep 10, 2026

Every time you check this app it says something different and is never even remotely close to being accurate!!!!!!

Inaccuracies

★ · v6.21 · Sep 9, 2026

Mark

No widgets haha :(

★ · v6.21 · Sep 8, 2026

Why no widgets?? Doesn't make sense to me. Deleted as soon as I installed it. Haha oh well

App crashes a lot

★ · v6.21 · Sep 4, 2026

Not sure what’s happening but this app has started crashing quite frequently. Happens randomly while scrolling through the 7 day forecast or toggling between the Home Screen and map.

Forecast literally change from hour to hour

★ · v6.21 · Sep 4, 2026

This app is useless. The forecast will show rain at 4 PM, 4 PM will arrive and no rain, then it will say it's going to rain at 5 PM, 5 PM arrives, no rain. And on and on and on. It is impossible to plan out your day or your week based on this app's prediction of the weather. Often it will also show that it's raining when it is not at all

Inconsistent

★ · v6.21 · Sep 3, 2026

This app regularly provides inaccurate weather reports and radar for my area. For instance, when it has rained the past couple days the app said “cloudy” for my location and the “Wundermap” was also inaccurate.

Still Constantly Crashing

★ · v6.21 · Aug 27, 2026

The iPadOS app still consistently crashes after viewing the weather map or extended forecast windows and then closing it. This has been going on for years after multiple reinstalls and updates of both iOS, iPadOS and the app. Please fix it.

Inaccurate

★ · v6.21 · Aug 27, 2026

Over the last year this app has become completely inaccurate. Obviously this app is using an AI model to run its predictions and has gone from one of the best to one of the worst. Two day predictions used to be very accurate but now it changes hour to hour. Delete.

A Mislabeled Random Number Generator

★ · v6.21 · Aug 21, 2026

I cannot tell you the number of times that their precipitation estimates have been off by a FACTOR OF 10! Not days in the future. No, that would be an excusable occasional error. Just hours away, and they are so ridiculously wrong. I would hope that people get fired over things like that, but they seem to get promoted. They just changed my rain forecast for the next few hours from 2.70 inches to 0.01 inches. Nice to have a 270X error range. This app would be better as a random number generator.

Autoplay video ads are annoying

★ · v6.21 · Aug 20, 2026

Decent weather app but the incessant autoplay video ads are so annoying as to make it unusable.

Terrible

★ · v6.21 · Aug 19, 2026

This app can’t predict the weather 30 minutes in the future. At noon 100%rain chance 1.6 inches . At 4:00pm 30%chance .05 inches,at 5: 00pm 100%chance .6 inches. No rain fell at all , how do you make plans with junk like this? NWS said 30% all day long and were correct.

Doesn’t work anymore

★ · v6.21 · Aug 19, 2026

With the last update to Tahoe 26.1.2, a blank screen comes up when I try to run the app and I have to use “force quit” to get the screen back.

bad

★ · v6.21 · Aug 17, 2026

not only they take your money But..ads COVER the screen ..luck to see a sliver of weather . shameful

Keeps crashing and closing on me.

★ · v6.21 · Aug 16, 2026

Keeps crashing and closing on me for a couple weeks now. And why no widget yet?
