AccuWeather: Weather Alerts Reviews

Pictures of stars and clouds?

Ghjkl56

In years past this was a great app; not anymore. If I want to see what my local conditions are, I can open the door and walk outside. I don't need a full opening page with stars, and clouds floating by. And who needs a minute-by-minute weather cast? Accuweather gets an A for fluff, and a D- for concise weather info on one or two screens.

Accuweather Takes The Cake

I woke up at dawn in S.W. Florida to see what looked like a Tropical Storm. I instinctively turned on an ATC website to look at local radar and got one scary frame showing a red streak going all the way across the state. The radar then went off line for all locations in the area. Thankfully, Accuweather radar was working just fine and really helped cut the stress as Tornado Warnings blared everywhere. I feel comfortable reading Accuweather's color radar. I will use them as my "go to" radar from now on. Thanks.

A great weather app

The best weather app that I have ever used. It is accurate, efficiency, and easy to use.

Accuweather Informative Is Informative But..

I really like the Accuweather app. I especially like the future radar which has come in handy on many of occasions. But I do think there should be the option to rotate screen for either a vertical or horizontal view. If this happens than I’ll gladly change my rating to 5 stars.

Inaccurate Forecasts

Inaccurate forecasts. Very cool app, but AccuWeather told me to expect 2-4 inches of snow tonight, while everywhere else said less than an inch. It was (much) less than an inch….happens with Daily High/Low temps too. Frequently off by 5-7 degrees, which is too much in my opinion. It’s even wrong about what the current temperature is very frequently. Used to be much more accurate about 10 years ago. I do like the detailed radar views though. Wish I could give 5 stars.

No portrait orientation

How y’all thought it was ok to put out an ipad app with no portrait orientation is beyond me. Even the iPhone has portrait orientation.

No longer a glance and go app

Accuweather used to be my default weather app for many years because of its ui and layout of information… until the recent update that introduced pop-up ads. Banner ads were enough to scroll past, but when you’re in a hurry and need to check the weather, the experience is ruined when an ad pops up and you’re having to fiddle with tapping the x to close it.

Don’t pay for Premium

TonyPhillips

I paid for the Premium Subscription to avoid all the ads. Still get the ads, have to “restore purchase every time you use it to make the ads go away. Otherwise is a great free app.

Panic constantly

SilentRank

It does everything it’s supposed to and is accurate BUT it is so dramatic how it describes weather lol I got a notification saying “LIFE THREATENING SNOWSTORM TO RIP THROUGH THE EAST!” and the storm was 1,000 miles away from me. I peed my pants before I realized it had nothing to do with me. Calm it down we all have enough anxiety already. Thank you.

Good, but locks

On two different occasions, this app send me to a full page advertisement. No way was provided to cancel it or go back to the program. Closed the app, but when reopened, the same ad was still there! Only deleting and reinstalling solved the issue. Tedious, to say the least.
