Ratings and reviews

The app is not fully functional unfortunately. The widgets do not work with S23 at all; it keeps saying that I don't have internet connection for weather updates despite that I have internet. Frustrating! The core app itself works nicely, displays weather, warnings and rain maps. It's nice you can alter settings like 12/24 hour clock, what data is shown and so. Just please code the widgets to work better.

Used to be my favourite weather app in Finland, but the new interface is a big step in the wrong direction. Adding more photographs of weather does not give me any more information, and what's left is much harder to read at a glance. The table with all relevant info of the next few hours was exactly what I needed from a weather app, and now it's gone, and what replaced it was pictures of clouds.

This used to be the very best weather app out there: fast, straightforward, easy on the eyes and with a handy widget to go with it. Now there's no widget, the app keeps getting slower, more crowded and UGLY to look at. Truly an abomination. I feel sorry for having to use other sub-par weather apps from now on. At least I'll get a widget and save my retinas from burning.
