Reviews
Accuracy is OK, widget is unusable
ValUA
I like and use this app for years. But the widget added recently is unusable. You see just “2…” instead of “28°”. Is it OK???
Privacy is clearly not a priority

Despite paying for the ad-free version, technical ad delivery is always on. As is something about linking devices, device identification and maybe 100+ cookies that seemed to be tracking more than strictly functional. You can “reject all,” which surprisingly seems to apply to the poorly named “legitimate interests” cookies as well, so that's actually good. Jury's still out on whether this applies to new ad providers when added, or if they default to opted-in (as they do when you manually manage cookies). If you’re OK with the tracking bits, it’s a fine app. Locations are hard to search for and it covers fewer days than Yr (but seems less pessimistic).
Simple intuitive interface

I like the updated interface. This is my go-to app for a straightforward forecast.
Poor update
Rogers Rovers
Difficult to use, or find information. Layers on map only show rainfall - where are isobars, cloud, temperature etc. Was the best, now the poorest of many others.
Very well done.
NWP!
I am a weather nerd and look at different weather apps as I travel around the world. The new met app is one of my favorites.
Best Weather App
Rodders57
Great app with essential info in a visually pleasing format. I would like to see additional options on the uk weather map however, for example pressure isobars and wind direction would be great. The iPad version could be improved in the same way and please make it viewable in landscape mode !!
