Font size on the widget is too small. The widget lets you adjust background transparency which is great. It lets you change font color. But you can't adjust the font size and it's way too small. So far no weather app has a widget as good as the Samsung stock weather app. This one is the best of the rest but it's still not that great simply because of the font size. Either increase it or let the user adjust it. Thanks.

This WAS a great weather app, but recently the ads will hijack the entire window. This started happening over the last couple of weeks and then we had bad weather that I needed to monitor. I kept having to exit and restart the app and try again. I finally had enough and went to another app to track the severe storm outbreak approaching our area.

I have been using this app for years and it has always been great. But now, I keep getting a full page survey with a chance to win an iPad. No way to get past it to check the weather. I even completed the 4 question survey thinking that would get rid of it. Only to have it to reappear everytime I open the app. This survey always tells you you win, at the end, then wants personal information, which I did not give them. Please get rid of this dangerous fishing Spyware. Otherwise a 5 star app.

A long time user of the Weather Bug and I have told many that this was the best app.... until the last 6 months or so. One feature I dislike most is the weather in motion. I don't want to see the the active radar and hour advance. I'm always trying to pause the radar at my current time which is difficult for a senior. If I want to see the weather an hour in advance... I'll utilize the storm tracker button. Either fix this or you have lost me.

🤔😯 For some reason, the clock for my location (as in, where I live, mainly) is a bit inaccurate (5 hours ahead, to be exact) whenever I check on the weather for it. 🤔🙂😯 No idea why it does that, but it does get fixed eventually (it just comes and goes). 😯🙂 Aside from that, my WeatherBug app works just fine on my phone (and tablet). 🤔😯🤷♀️ This was never an issue for me whenever I first got the app from a few years ago. No idea what happened that caused this issue to occur, but still.

This has always been my go to weather app but I've noticed the last year or two that the temp in the notifications menu doesn't update like it should. I can't get an accurate temp without opening up the app which kinda defeats the purpose of having it in the notifications menu. Like this morning around 8:30am I checked and it said it was 80 degrees outside but it was displaying the temp from 6pm yesterday. 12+ hrs with no update. I had to open the app to get it reset to the current temp.

The ads on this app have always been of the lowest quality scams and snake oils, but now it has reached an even worse low. Now, when I try to view the weather a full screen, uncloseable, ad to take a survey to win an iPad shows up. The only way out of it (besides, presumably, giving away your personal information) is to close out the app and reopen it, just to have it pop up again later. This app was dubious with it's advertisers before, now it's non-functional. Find any other app for weather.

Ok overall, but recently there has been a bug in how the hourly forecast precipitation rate is displayed. If I clear the app cache and data, then go back in to the app, the precipitation rates display correctly (0.12, 0.05, etc.). if i minimize the app and go back in, it displays hourly rates of only whole numbers (0, 1, 2, or 3 inches per hour) when we're not getting anywhere near that much rain. Clearing the cache and data fixes it again, but it always goes back.

Update: after unistalling and reinstalling, It seems all the issues have been fixed. I'm glad because weatherbug has been my go to for more than 10 years. It used to be great. Then you changed it all. There is no detail to precipitation as there was before. Yesterday you had 3" when it should have been .03. It's a mess and I've un-installed it until you fix everything you broke. This used to be my go-to weather app. Not anymore.

Excellent weather app. Being able to select the airport as the weather source is very important to me. Edit: Over the last 2 weeks I keep getting a pop up survey for a free iPad Pro. It's obviously a scam, but to continue using the app, I have to close it, force stop and clear the cache. If this survey keeps popping up, I will delete this app.

What is up with location tracking on this app anymore? I have to restart my phone for it to update the location, not cool. Please end the mapbox experience. Quit doubling down on it. Go back to Google. Read the room, you have countless negative reviews about the new radar. The zoom is just weird and goofy anymore.. This is just garbage anymore, it gets worse with each update, not better

Changing my rating from 5 stars to 1.5 stars. Full page ads that pop up without any way to close them (even after clicking and going to mint mobile website) are way too invasive. I had to actually close Weatherbug and relaunch it. I would be willing to pay $2 to remove ads permanently, because I like Weatherbug, but I'm certainly not willing to pay $2 PER MONTH for simple weather information that is available in about a million other places for free.

I genuinely do enjoy using this app compared to others. it's free and simple to use. But there are some issues The ads are annoying to deal with because most of them I half to close out the app and re-open the app for them to close. I can't check out alerts or anything on the live map it just says loading area data. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app on top of clearing data on my end. Nothing has solved that. Still, I do recommend this app it just has issues that can be fixed.

Something changed and I am now getting (once a day) an ad that acts very much like a virus. This rating doesn't allow me to show a picture of it, but it leads off with "CONGRATULATIONS ". It only occurs with your app and I've never seen it anywhere else. It tires up your app for 10 minutes . I have used your app for years and have consistently recommended it. What happened?

It once was a great app. While ads are clearly indicated as part of the "free" deal, they've since moved into a full screen "survey" for "prizes" that can't be closed out of. Instead you need to close out of the app and restart to get to your weather information. Ads are one thing, but this is over the top instrusive. Removing this app and moving on to something else. Edit: appreciate the feedback and explanation, but in light of your response, it makes me question app security. Still a no go.

I use it all of the time. The radar comes up quickly, and shows a very smooth time lapse screen. The "future Radar"is a good indicator of where a storm is moving. I really like the lightening warning feature. However, the app no longer shows wind levels consistently. That is the reason I am moving on to a better app.

Since this last update, I've tried everything I can think of to get the temperature back on my notification bar. Over & over I've tried the settings in the app. I've looked at my settings & even uninstalled & reinstalled. Nothing has worked. I also agree with the person who said the temperature does not update unless you go into the app. This has always been my go-to weather app. If these issues aren't fixed soon I will be looking for another app, which is too bad...

A very reliable app. Lots of good features too. [Edit] Still great! [Edit 4/7/16] No longer useful. The UI is gone. All that is visible is the advertisement. Disappointed. [Edit 9/16] Uninstalled. Update 5/27/24: Reinstalled and it worked for several years, but today an advertisement once again kept Weatherbug from working. Had to uninstall and reinstall to regain the functionality. The add is for a shopping site that requested my PII and financial details.

This app was once promoting personal weather stations in each city/locality, and showed the conditions of each station so a subscriber could find the station closest to them. That no longer exists, without any explanation. Also, now when checking weather elsewhere; in this case Toronto, On.- only two weather stations show up in this large city. This was my go-to weather app for years, but your recent failed updates are giving me pause.

I just updated and future cast is still included in the radar loop. All I want is past and current radar. Future cast is unreliable snd misleading. Love Weatherbug and used for years but this has to be fixed. Wearherbug allows order in which info appears to be fully customized easily. It is very reliable and user friendly. Also very responsive to messenger and/or email questions. I highly recommend. The free version has a few ads but not intrusive and no video ads.
