Ratings and reviews

Not at all User friendly. The old app was basic, but it worked. This new one is fiddly and awkward. The use of a journey hour weather forecast is not easy to read and the use of all muted colours is not easy to identify. Update: tried it again on a new phone, and again it is terrible, the location is always incorrect and the graphics messy. Joke of a app.

It doesn't seem possible to delete entries from the list of places (as displayed by clicking the magnifying glass top right). As a result whenever I start the app, it shows me the weather for somewhere I visited several months ago, which I have no need for any more. Even uninstalling & reinstalling doesn't clear the list! I thought I might be able to edit it in Settings...but it seems there are no Settings! Come on Met Éireann, all that should be basic functionality.

Accurate app but it's let down by a few things. Default location is Dublin, can't be changed. Have to search my area every time I use it. The widget is likewise stuck on Dublin, making it useless. Turning on "My Location" used to make the app crash. It doesn't crash the app anymore but it still does nothing, default is always Dublin. I would definitely be using this more, including the widget, if it actually displayed relevant information to me by default.
