What are users saying about Weatherzone

Z70%

Recent update freezes on loading screen. So it's now unusable and adding to the disappointment of the "revamped design" a few months ago. Also cannot scroll radar screen around to different locations until the thing finishes loading the whole sequence. Used to be able to do this in the older, simpler design. Overall experience not great with design complex and convoluted. Sticking with it until my previously paid plus version runs out.

J70%
by J####:

This was a great app until a recent update that rewrote the whole interface. Now it is extremely slow to start up, and is full of bugs. I can't switch locations at the moment, it always switches back to my current location. The ui is too bloated on the main page. I have to scroll a lot to see the information I'm looking for. I think I'll look for a different weather app if this one doesn't improve soon

Z70%
by Z####:

Was 5 stars but now I only give it 3. There was a previous update that broke the location settings. Now the location icon constantly shows and never goes away, using up constant battery. The next update didn't fix it. Please fix or will use other weather apps!!

V70%
by V####:

I purchased the pro version but with recent update I now have to endure ads everywhere and of course will not issue refund, just want more money to remove ads. The new interface is slow, laggy and freezes. They have decided to make the app look slick at the expense of functionality and screwing over those of us who paid for a no ad version

Z70%
by Z####:

Was 5 stars but new update is not overly user friendly. Radar crashes. Interface not effective. I'm not afraid of change but has been a few months now and still wish I could go back to the previous app configuration.

R70%
by R####:

Current update has added a lot of bugs. Background is overly complicated. Widget doesn't open the app half the time. If location following is on it doesn't work properly and always checks for location rather than every hour or so, which is a huge battery drain. Disappointing. Used to be a great hope. Hopefully they fix these bugs they have introduced

Z70%
by Z####:

They made it complicated for a weather app, the previous version was full of informations but easy to read and understand, make it simple and with an option to read more details in one click, why to click on each day to check the details of that day. Sometimes it doesn't register the area that you already have listed in the areas you searched before, even if you type the name in search it still dont register in the weather. Mind you the area is in you favourite areas . Also you need to search your areas, why not sorted as alphabetical. very disturbing add

Z70%
by Z####:

Middle of the night and widget still displaying a sun icon. Alternatively, bright and sunny and app displaying a crescent moon. What's with that? Also icon randomly disappears rendering widget useless until it somehow reappears. Anyway, it's still ok but much preferred the old interface. Simpler to take in. Originally rated the full 5 stars. Now 3-4.

Z70%
by Z####:

Update broke the widget; no longer shows the current weather in the top left and you can no longer access detailed weather pressing the widget. I've gone back to older and better Weatherzone+ app. New app is loaded with bugs. I won't be subscribing if they don't fix this app.

Z70%
by Z####:

Doing a good job to update. All is working atm, hopefully it will continue. Spoke too soon - widget has stopped opening app...again - it's still hit or miss!

K70%
by K####:

Had to buy a new phone so i downloaded the latest version and was horrified to see they destroyed a near perfect app (wz+). My work depends on weather info so i have kept my old phone just to use (wz+) on wifi

Z70%
by Z####:

App was awesome, but now I very much dislike it. Bring back the old interface. The new one is terrible. I use the app daily and now I've gone back to web-based browsing.

Z70%
by Z####:

This used to be my favourite weather app. Since the last update it's been annoying. No longer easy to locate the simplest of information. After 10 years of this app I've now uninstalled it.

Z70%
by Z####:

I'll stick with the older, better, Weatherzone+ app until they give me back "Composite Radar on Google Maps". I use it all the time... If I wanted a downgrade to the old Radar I'd have turned Composite Radar off in Weatherzone+!

Z70%
by Z####:

This was a good app, now seems to have issues with location settings in widget. I can't get it to open up to my preferred location from the widget unless GPS is on. This is really frustrating

D70%
by D####:

This update is awful. The latest update no longer provides weather for other areas, regardless of where you pick the location, it just shows you your home location. It's stupid.

L70%
by L####:

Good app. Gives lots of details. Hourly fourcasts are not very accurate though. Also it crashed a couple of times in the last 2 months and i had to reinstall it

X70%
by X####:

Well...it tells u the forecast. Layout unappealing & confusing. Aesthetically also not pleasing to the eye.

H70%
by H####:

The radar keeps freezing, i found i need to force close the app for it load properly. Frustrating

Z70%
by Z####:

Detailed info, but will not cache data now and widget is pretty useless. Needs work as this latest update isn't very good

Z70%
by Z####:

A lot clunkier to use than the old format and personally I find the photo background annoying. Eg, now when I change radar view distance there is an extra step to click done. The widget loses the weather icon once a day, the settings screen doesn't work, it's slow. I'm back using the old Weatherzone Plus app again

Z70%
by Z####:

Why..... When I say follow my position.... Does it not do that? I click a hundred times... goes back to wherever......

W70%
by W####:

Prefer the previous one. Remove the ads. Radar is too complicated and too slow

U70%
by U####:

Latest update broke the widget. Tapping the widget on the home screen now does nothing unless you tap the settings wheel. It used to open the app. Not good.

Z70%
by Z####:

Won't recognise my paid version. Keeps showing advertising. Layout and radar, no towns around TERRIBLE

Z70%
by Z####:

Crashing every time I try to open it since the last update.

Z70%
by Z####:

Used to be a good app. Completely unusable now. Will not go past launch screen on Android 8.0 on Pixel2

X70%
by X####:

5/11/2017 Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Xperia Z2 the Weatherzone classic widget will not activate Weatherzone app. Old Weatherzone Plus app still working flawlessly. Switched back to Weatherzone Plus.

I refuse to use this app after I saw that you are using photographs taken by Steven Forward.

Z70%
by Z####:

The current version is rubbish! Can't switch between locations! Seems to be stuck on my current location!

Z70%
by Z####:

I love the radar function. With a couple of kids and lots of washing, it's great to be able to see when the rain is coming before it actually hits!

Z70%
by Z####:

Disappointed since the last update. Slowed considerably. Trying to show too much.

Z70%
by Z####:

The wind speed does not correlate ie it showed wind speeds of 52 knots but it should have been 52 mms.please sort out correct wind speeds

Z70%
by Z####:

Widget doesn't update, also pressing on the widget opened the app, nothing happens anymore. Will uninstall if it isn't fixed soon

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a great app, gives me all the info that I need

Z70%
by Z####:

Real feel not working but great app.

Z70%
by Z####:

I had paid for the weatherzone+ so I didn't have adverts, now can't find it, what has happened.

Z70%
by Z####:

Was working great till recent update. Please fix!

Z70%
by Z####:

The new design is good, some of it needs modifying slightly and then I'd give it five stars

Z70%
by Z####:

Accuracy has improved since I installed it acouple of weeks ago. I am happy to see the pictures
