Reviews
Internet Trouble...
Coastal95
I have been using this app ever since it appeared on Planet of the Apps and I have loved it since. But all of the sudden, ever since the new upgrade recently, the app has been having trouble connecting to the internet. And this happens when I do indeed have good internet reception via LTE. Please fix!! I really love this app and I'd hate to go back to the boring weather app from before in order to view today's weather...
Cat good, weather bad

I like Poncho but there isn’t enough information about the weather in this app. The absolute worst thing about it is that the “low temperature” it displays is actually the temperature at midnight, not sunrise.
Good!

I really like this app! I do have a suggestion. They should have a what to wear feature based on the weather. Like a sweater if it’s cold. Shorts if it’s warm.

I like the app and the morning forecasts that it gives me. However, it sometimes has issue connecting to an internet connection, even if I have a connection and can access the Internet via other methods. I get the error “Internet Trouble: I’m having trouble loading the forecast right now” frequently and I’m not sure why.
Cute & Fun, But Cannot Set Up An Account
LeahoftheLORD
I don’t know how to let the developer know this otherwise, so here it is in a review. I can’t set up an account because I never receive the code via text. I tried several times. I’m receiving other texts, so I think it is the app. Regarding the app: so far I like the fun approach. Since I have not been able to set up an account, I don’t think I have full functionality.
really awesome!

i like the informal style; makes it more fun to use. i like all the different things that you can program it to do... i appreciate the pollen and frizz ad-ons. the only thing that i would change is that when i went to go send the code, it wouldn’t send. i ended up having to create an account with my email. please fix that. but otherwise, thanks for a great app i can rely on!
i love the idea but...

Horoscopes??

What happened to the horoscopes that was like the best part checking it every Monday for a new one u need to add those back otherwise that’ll be super unfortunate
Watch app not working
Kitkatsbat
I love the silliness of Poncho & while I get the alerts via my watch, when I tap the complication to get the current info I get nothing...just a message one sec, I’m checking the weather...but no weather ever comes ?
Broken app I used to love :(
galaxyofcharms
This app was the best! But the Apple Watch app has been broken for almost two weeks now (will just say “checking the weather” but never pulls anything up just keeps searching), and when I logged out & deleted/reinstalled the app, it won’t let me login or even create a new account. Tried to reset my password on the website & all it said was “don’t look, something’s wrong!” Pretty sure Poncho is in the garbage right now & it’s ticking me off because I loved the app before all this mess.
