Ratings and reviews

Easy to use app but it has a big problem with forecast accuracy; it's nearly always wrong and that includes displaying the current weather! Take today, current conditions are supposedly cloudy and forecast to remain all day but actually there isn't a cloud in the sky! Saw the sunrise at 6am and haven't seen a cloud for the last 4 hours and no sign of this changing. This is a constant problem. The Met Office app has far more accurate forecasting.

Just downloaded the app after constantly checking website, but the website is better. App required me to log in, which I did and wanted location, which I gave, but every time I close the app and open it again, within seconds a screen pops up wanting my location - AGAIN! EVERY TIME! can it not remember? uninstalling

Deteriorating In just about every weather update on BBC television, the weather presenter plugs this app. It's months since you could save a location as you once could very easily and all you get is an error message which remains after many updates. How about the BBC stop plugging it and just fix it?
