Ratings and reviews

The app layout is OK, but the forecasts are often ridiculous. This is the 2nd day in a row it's been pouring with rain for a few hours, but by viewing the symbols, the app neither forecasted the showers before or DURING them! It maintained a sunny & dry/ 5% chance of rain symbol throughout. Meanwhile the BBC weather app was getting it right & updating throughout. So I'll be going back to that for a while, even though it annoys me by requesting Location be turned on.

The best weather app for the UK. So easy to use and see daily and hourly forecasts, and easy to add different parts of the UK to your list so you can scroll down and see multiple forecast summaries. Best of all, you can opt in to weather alerts and pollen alerts for your areas which is so useful. There are video forecasts embedded in the app too. Highly recommended.

I returned to using this as it's more accurate than others, as well as having plenty of details. I like the written summary. The problem of deleting redundant locations persists, uninstall/reinstall seems to be the only solution. I wish the days showed the forecast temperatures like other weather apps do, without having to tap on them one by one to see.
