Ratings and reviews

The gold standard for Swiss weather apps. With the slight side-effect that, my God, it crashes/hangs *all of the time*. Just go into the satellite view (to check rainfall), scroll the timeline to check later in the day, and bang, it either hangs or crashes out and dies. Great UI, dreadful implementation.

I used to love the app but lately it has become unusable. It keeps crashing a few seconds after opening it. It won't take long before I'll uninstall it. Please do something!

Lots of nice features such as the rain radar. Sometimes a bit inaccurate even with very near predictions, but I know no better app.
