AccuWeather Platinum

Can we have resizeable widgets, maybe one with a background picture of the current weather, similar to the image you see when you open the app? E.g. a rainy background or a sunny background? BBC weather App has this feature. EDIT: THANK YOU!! Thank you for listening and making an awesome 4x2 widget with nice backgrounds and helpful info such as jacket and umbrella settings! This is exactly what i wanted. It's now proudly on my homescreen!

Has been accurate over the past few years of use. Presents info in a way that is visually pleasing and allows me to get info at a quick glance. Easy-to-use. I really like the line graphs being used again. Has a few rough edges like the widget not using the full widget space, scrolling through graphs is hard since it thinks any down movements are for refreshing, the line graphs could use some horizontal guidelines for every few degrees, and the line graphs could be compressed to show more day and hour data.

I have always thought Accuweather was better than most of the weather forecasting apps, and after using every one of them for awhile, my opinion is Accuweather is by far the most comprehensive and accurate of the many apps to choose from. The Accuweather team don't just appear to give their forecast out in a randomly condensed fashion, as I have felt most of the other weather station's do. Instead, they have always been more concerned about giving out reliable & accurate forecasts!

I last used this in September 2015. Great improvement since then! Accurate information, and it updates correctly and quickly now. The Weather Channel is so full of ads and mPoints junk that it defeats the purpose of having a quick look at the weather. Good job! 4 stars only because of the lack of widget choices.

Great App, however the locations list is very limiting. I cannot find most cities in South Africa, eg Alberton. My current location using GPS works great, but then I cannot save my current location as a favourite. So in short the app is only handy to check weather if you are in the city itself, very limited choice of other cities to search for. Please let me know if there's a way to get around this.

What's the big deal about bringing back line graphs for temperature? Bar graph was better because temp was displayed for all hours shown. Now you have to tap each point to see temp and see only 1 at a time. With only 1 number visible in whole graph (no numbers on axis) the movement of the line means almost nothing, a picture with no information. (Also homescreen icon alternates between new round & old square--weird.)

One my favorite feature of AccuWeather is the radar future radar. Living in Minnesota the weather can change in minutes. We have a saying "If you don't like the weather wait a minute it will change". I also like how you can customize what elements of the current condition page. Oh yeah and the MinuitCast circle that shows you how long it's going to rain or snow. Great app, but I never give an app five stars, because no app is ever perfect.

AccuWeather listened to us, yay! The hourly weather now identifies the day (and obviously the hour); also can be expanded for a bit more info. The daily function also expands (day and night) and has a "drop down" precipitation chart. Adding/deleting locations continues to be easy. The map current/future still seems to have a time gap but (I guess) it is liveable. Again, thank you for listening to the app users.

On one page it says no precipitation for at least 120 minutes but on another page it says showers within an hour. I have highlighted this before but nothing is done. Form your own opinion ....... Now today 11 Jan it gives a yellow warning for snow in my town but when I go I to 'daily' part there is no mention of snow. WTF?

I like the addition on Hourly and Daily tabs for day and night forecast. The change I don't like on those tabs is the drop down on top. You use to be able to set it independently of the bottom. So you could see precipitation at top and temperature at bottom. Now they are linked so you have an extra step to see both. Please change back to be independent or give an option settings to choose how you want it to operate. I really liked the app before this change that is why I paid for it. Thanks.

Paid for this to be ad free, worth every penny.

The app is very good. My only complaint is the scrolling weather information from left to right at the top third of the screen does not maintain an index on the screen. When you scroll more than six hours into the future for the forecast you lose track of what the temp is for that hour in the future. Up and down scrolling always post the time and temp, but the graph does not.

I've been using the AccuWeather premium application for the better part of two years. The street-level graphics and radar are spectacular. I opted for the premium version so I did not have to look at ads and it's worth the investment. The latest design has a great user interface.

I've tried several apps and this one has the best radar setup. The radar in this app has several features, and it includes a satellite imagery for tracking cloud cover..... However, for getting your forecasts, Accuweather isn't the most accurate or the most detailed. Instead, I highly recommend using the website of the national weather service for forecasts, they're really detailed and accurate..... Lastly, the extended forecasts for 2-12 weeks out are a total joke, those are very inaccurate.

What's happened to temperatures? They're missing from various views. Only precipitation is given. But I'd really like an offline view. Doesn't work even minutes after I've lost a data signal, why can it not store this data until it gets updated? ALSO please bring back graphs.

AccuWeather has always been my go to source for the most accurate weather. This app is fantastic ( great job developers). Only minor suggestion I have is to make the font a little larger for the temp in the status bar. It's tiny and difficult to see/read. Otherwise, awesome & accurate app!

Widgets are useless. Since they have no clock they can't replace the stock Clock/Weather widget. There needs to be a better variety. The app is pretty good otherwise, once it is open. UPDATE: New CUSTOM widget looks nice and has a small clock! BUT is 4x2 even though it looks 4x1 so it won't fit on my home screen without removing a row of icons. Nice try but still useless.

I use my weather apps everytime I visit some place! For some reason there is no way to delete these places anymore. I am on the platinum app and I know I used to be able to, but now the only way it's too uninstall an reinstall... Stupid! Waste of time!... YEAH!

Great app, great functions, love the minute cast and the capability to see what weather others are reporting. The bad part is in this update they did it doesn't show you the highs and lows like it used to, have to click on each individual day and makes it a pain if you want to a quick check of weather for the week. Please bring that back.

The latest update makes it too hard to get a quick overview. There are usually 3 things I want to know: the current weather, the high/low, and chance of precipitation. I can get the first one on the first tab. Then I go to the 3rd tab to get a high/low. The I have to click twice to change a tiny button to see precipitation. If I see anything of interest I then go back to the second tab and repeat.

It's simple to use and very accurate. I've tried about a dozen different weather apps and keep coming back to this one. The only thing I'd like them to add is an option for High/Low pressure cells and fronts on the map.

By far the best weather app out there, the interface is good and easy to use, the forecasts are accurate and the notification/widget are nice to have. Yet - it cannot get alerts based on GPS and GPS rarely, if at all, works for me. This makes it worse than it could be.

I feel this is one of the best weather apps out there however I do not like the latest update to the daily and hourly forecasts. The previous way of having both precip and temp on save screen was handy and now hourly has confusing 2 temperatures per hour. Please change back or give options to change back to the previous layout!

App displays (US only) weather but alerts can't be dismissed. Very annoying. Time display on widget is five minutes slow! This is the latest version and I paid for it. App is messed up. Customer support is terrible. BBC weather is better with worldwide coverage!

The "Find Me (GPS)" option incorrectly labels my home location as an adjacent city. Tried app on several devices and it always detects the wrong adjacent city. I use other weather apps and they all accurately find my home location. So only AccuWeather has a problem accurately displaying my home location. Not sure if I trust its forecast.

The line graph of temperature is useless. Bring back the blocks. I just wish it didn't insist on continuous access to Location (which it is not going to get) because it kills the battery. Why can't I just give it a precise location and have the stupid app REMEMBER IT!

In general app works for me. Still have a problem with rendering maps when zooming in. Weather overlay seems to disappear. Also is not displaying alerts for me anymore. Tells me that there are alerts, but will not show them. Nexus 5X Android 7.1.1 Downgrading my review because alerts still do not display. The alerts show partially in my notifications window, but clicking on them take me to the alerts scree, where just the location displays. BTW. alerts work fine on my free Accuweather Apple version.

Accuweather used to be "on the money" with reliable info for any requested area. Ever since change of app appearance, which was NOT an improvement, temps are off, regularly, by a good 10°. And that's with paying for the "platinum" version. Why did you mess with (near) perfection?

I like the app but if the 4x2 widget doesn't start working I'll have to switch apps. Not being able to use it when everything else works is annoying. I want my time, date and weather on one widget that doesn't come installed on the phone because the weather on those is horrible.

Detailed reports, nifty features, and reliable severe weather alerts are a few things I love about this app. Love it! (Currently experiencing problems with location. I enter it in and it goes blank and I have re-enter it again.)

Location search is very limited! Can not find and list even larger cities and towns in Europe. Only able to save the town or place if you are right in it. This works no problem on my wife's iphone! Please fix this issue and will be 5*

Works very well with my LG G5 and RCA Maven Pro tablet. I like it a lot. The app is very accurate and pin points my location, which is rather rural. I also like the different themes. This app just keeps getting better and better! The updates are great.

You can not turn off GPS location from the settings. The switch is there, but does nothing. Had to deny GPS permissions in the phone settings. Otherwise it constantly tries to lock on and cause major battery drain issue.

Newest update added some nice features from old version. Still not very professional looking. Has that new "Designed for small children" look to it. If your lucky enough to still have a version before 4.0, keep it, turn auto updates off.

Recent updates have improved the app. But the new, revised interface is confused, badly laid out, using dreadful, dumbed down graphics. I admire the move to the new Google standard but this is a very poor design! And why did you remove the 4x2 widget as well? B- (improved but still work to be done).

Almost perfect now with the transparent 3 day widget. The status bar temp is too small for my eyes and the new widget is turning black on my Nexus 6 and it won't let me uncheck the time on the widget.

Now that we've moved to another town, AccuWeather is much more accurate in locating us. Forecasts are always the most accurate, even weeks in advance. It has a nasty habit of rotating the display on a random basis, despite our screen settings.

UPDATED 12/28/16: nice redesign with easy to read temp charts and daily high/lows. Using on Nexus and Pixel phones now. ORIGINAL REVIEW in 2014: I've used TWC app for years and years...until they made it an advertising app with a little bit of weather. Uninstall! The AccuWeather app has come a long way since I checked it out last. The UI is very pretty and it provides all the weather info I need. Awesome on Moto X and DROID MAXX!

The past two update have made it too cluttered to look at and the simple daily descriptions too frilly and wordy. It is not easy to find info quickly anymore. The app used to be great. Not anymore. It is the most accurate I have found, but I will be looking for a better app now.

Widget keeps stopping. Not very impressed. I emailed them about it and they wanted me to fill out a report, like I have time for this. It's not my app. I work in IT for many years. They need to learn how to test and troubleshoot.
