Ratings and reviews

Faults with the app, go to warning section and if you want to know what the warning is, you cannot as there are too many warnings (03/07/25) which is a bit of a problem if you need the info for that area. Wind speed including wind gust for each hour has gone, need to know that if you want to sail, do water sports on lakes and sea. Having to uninstall and just use the website as app lacks data

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.

Used it a lot, but the new look, although pretty, sucks. You can't have more than specific amount information selected or it clips from view. And I really liked that you could scroll through the week to get overview off the weather. Now having to press every single day separately is really annoying and I just can't be bothered.
