1. 5/5Terry c

   In my opinion It is better than a paid subscription app. My neighbor uses a paid version of WeatherBug. When we compare our local weather forecast, hers is always different. This last time she said, her friends are always telling her that her WeatherBug forecast is wrong. In my opinion, no weather app is 100% correct all the time 365 days. Until you get into weather conditions where the app says five or 10 days of straight rain, straight snow, or straight sunshine. Then I consider it 100% reliable. But when an app says one day of sunshine, then four hours of rain, then two days of sunshine, Then one day of rain, then six days of sunshine. In those circumstances, it only suggests to me that the weather is going to be fluctuating for a few days. Then I just use life experience and look up at the sky and determine on my own what the weather is going to be doing and for how long. Yahoo Weather app serves as an excellent weather reference for whatever you might be planning, it works for me, and I highly recommend it.

2. 5/5Detailed and accurate

   I have not tried a whole lot of weather apps, but I did read about several before choosing one. The reason I tried this one is first, that it is free. Second, it is detailed with many options and as far as I can tell, seems very accurate. I love all the little animations that it adds for effect. Like showing the windmills spinning according to how fast the wind is blowing, and showing the sun moving across until it hits the area that it currently is at in the sky. There is a map of the area at the bottom that has several options for viewing such a satellite and radar. You can add and delete cities and move them around as you like. It gives a 10 day forecast. And a beautiful picture to go with each city. For a free app, this one is very impressive. And the advertisements that are inevitable with a free app, are non-intrusive. They show up as a section of their own as you scroll down through the various sections of each city. So you simply scroll past them and it is no big deal. They do not interfere with viewing.

3. 3/5Used to be 5 star

   Why exactly did you change the UI? There are a few issues here. The bars for each hour of the day... time is continuous and the graph for this should be as well. Nobody thinks about weather at the top of the hour. That area also used to integrate a clean view of precipitation probability. It’s lost. The hours of the day in each bar took me a minute or so to figure out. They are single numbers and not in time format. It is not intuitive. Also, the new “colorful” cloud and sun graphics in next section lack contrast and are seemingly bad for the color blind. This entire refresh seems to be design over function. You used to be five star and the only solid app yahoo had but now I’ll have to find another weather app. Remember when the app launched and the kudos it got? It was because the UI. You just erased that advantage and that is all that’s different from app to app. IMO, with this release you’ll lose some of your base (at least me) and the design lacks function so you’ll lose out to other apps for new installs. Remember when snap unnecessarily changed their design and nose dived? You were over 4 stars and your new designer might have harpooned you.

4. 1/5New version took it from 5 to 2 stars

   Most recent update (2.0.4] is, according to the release notes, “stunning visual experience”. It also claims I’ll “always be ready for temperature and precipitation changes”. I use this app on an iPad in landscape mode. This version wastes all that lovely screen real estate. First of all, visual experience is great, but is not the point of this app. I, for one, don’t agree that the new block system is a better way to display the changing temps throughout the day than the graph was. Graphs are used in most scientific data displays because they are the ultimate depiction of data-in-a-nutshell. The new display separates each hour physically destroying the visual effect of seeing the curve of temperature changes. Yes, the little boxes’ height changes reflect this (sort of), but nothing like a graph does, especially since the axes of a graph can be adjusted based on the daily variations. Furthermore, the information about precipitation is gone! Where are the water drops or the new, “modern”, 2020 version of them? The daily encapsulation is easier to read against the darker background, but that’s about it. The 10 day forecast used to be horizontal and again, was a much more useful and user-friendly display. This version is so inefficient it needs a little arrow to show more or less data. The old display was superior in all aspects except one: this new version sure displays the ads better! I’ve used this app since I got my first iPad over 10 years ago. I’ve lived with its minor inconsistencies because they’re only a couple of degrees and I don’t need more accuracy, but now I’m in the market for a new weather app.

5. 4/5Aug 2020: what was your design team thinking?

   What happened in your update? Where’s the data, the Coronavirus stats??! This looks like a kid’s book now. Ridiculous changes and design decisions in this update. It’s bulkier and gives less info at a glance. What a disappointment. This used to be my go to app. I loved its concise data, small hourly view of the weather, and general appearance. There’s little left from the original version to keep me returning now. I have no idea why you would ruin a good layout and design. Your design team missed what people want. With the most recent update this month (August 2020) The weather icons are chunky, and fill up the screen. No appeal whatsoever. The original app was beautiful to look at with local photos that changed about every 30 seconds, pulled in from Flickr. They gave a personal view of the area with a stunning overall effect. I loved checking the weather just to see the photos in an area, too. That changed a few years ago. Now I rarely see any local photos and the ones selected rarely change or have nothing to do with the region. Often they weren’t even taken in the same country. I have no idea why each update has become less appealing. What were you thinking? Two stars. Downgraded from five. I think the weather is about as accurate as it used to be. But I can get that elsewhere.
