  1. 4/5Works great on iPhone 15, reports conf issues on Apple Watch

    While trying to use the Yr app on Apple Watch v10.5 the app reports Missing configuration. Go to settings In the Yr app on your phone. I did and failed to find anything mentioning configuration settings. I’ve since restarted both my iPhone and watch still the watch app doesn’t app to work at all.

  2. 3/5Doesn’t display maximum temperature

    I like the app for its granular forecasts but it has a major flaw. It does not show the maximum/high temperature of the day. Not in its widget summary, and nowhere easy to see. You have to go into the hourly view to find the true high temperature of the day. Extremely frustrating how it displays ex. A high of 90 F, and then only when you enter into hourly view do you see temps will reach 95 F in the afternoon. Such a stupid mistake. Please fix.

  3. 5/5Love the UI/UX of this app

    Really great app. I usually use the Apple Weather app, but I found it not sufficient to give an accurate forecast of the weather in Oslo. So I downloaded YR and it’s been great to give me a more accurate forecast of daily weather. The UI/UX is fantastic, especially with the functionality to drag left to see upcoming hours/days. Great work!

  4. 5/5Fantastic weather app

    This app is the best weather app I have encountered to date. I love the Sky animation showing not only the cloud coverage but also the moon phase, moon rise, transit and setting time. This app is also the only free weather app that doesn’t sell your location information to advertising agencies. Fantastic weather app all around

  5. 3/5Almost good

    I really want to like this app, especially because I like Norwegians. But there are a couple of problems. First, it is slow to start. You need to do more cacheing or prefetching or something so that it seems more responsive, even if the data are a little bit stale when the app first loads. Second, every morning at 6:15 AM, I get a notification with the weather report for the weather for, in order: tonight, this afternoon, this evening. That is not chronological order at all, and it skips the most important thing, which is this morning. As in, “what do my kids need to wear to school today?” Also, my wife heard me leaving this review, and wanted me to ask why you need to check location three times a day. When there’s only one notification a day.

  1. 4/5

    I like 1/4 day forecast split, especially for widget, which is more informative than probability of rain in % like many other apps use.

  2. 1/5

    Its predictions are always wrong in the Netherlands. Temperature off, rain forecast off, may work in other countries but not over here.

  3. 1/5

    It’s been almost six months since you broke the app, and it’s still not working. Shame on you! I’m still keeping the old version on my phone because even though the weather doesn't update anymore, at least the clock on the semi-transparent widget looks cool 😅
