  1. 2/5New app is not as good!

    Both the interface and information are anything but an improvement.

  2. 1/5Horrible app

    This is such a poor app. I can see a daily and weekly forecast but good luck getting a synopsis of the day and coming days of the week. Apparently the weather folks cease writing summaries of the day and week to come. A graph showing rain or snow does little if I don’t know the extent of the weather. How many inches of rain or snow? What can locals expect for a given day or week. If you just want a graph showing icons of rain/sun/snow etc have at it. However if you are looking for details to a forecast look elsewhere.

  3. 1/5What did you do???

    Just looked at the new weather app I give it a zero out of ten Used to be able to quickly and easily look at the forecast for the day or week. Now you have to wade through a combinations of ads unneeded and unwanted “information” simply to get close to a forecast - bring back the simple, informative and ad free app.

  4. 5/5Keeps me up to date with the weather

    Bob Shaw doesn't lie when it comes to weather. I use this app to let me know how my work day is going to be.

  5. 1/5Trackers Galore

    This used 55% of my battery in 6 hours. Just like their website it is full of trackers to get money from advertisers. Don’t get this app.
