Ratings and reviews

Pros: I'm happy we have an indigenous weather app. Minimalistic design is a plus. Cons: 1. Major missing - hourly weather forecast. I mean, that's the most important use case of a weather app, to know how the weather looks in the next few hours. 2. Number of locations is far too less for a country our size. 3. App loads slow. Not very responsive and stable.

No hourly forecast, how will the user know if it will rain in the morning or at night? It isn't surprising that forecast will be accurate when prediction range is for a whole day. Data is limited to nearest IMD stations, which can be 100km away. And the app behaves like a slideshow even on a high end phone(Galaxy S22), surprising since this is only a 1 page app displaying only text.

installed mausam weather report checking app, but unfortunately, my location's weather is not being displayed . Despite living in the proper city of Kollam, Kerala, the app is showing weather updates for rural areas like Punalur taluks instead. So I am give this app a one-star rating. I request that the app developers to improve the accuracy of their location services so that users like myself can receive the correct weather updates for their specific locations.
