BeWeather & Widgets for Android
Have been using and liking this app BUT...has lately not been able to load ANY data at all. Second time in as many weeks. Something is amiss and it hasn't gotten author's attention.
This app used to be so great! Now it freezes up every time I open it. Completely unusable. :( I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but no luck. Fix please? (Droid Bionic)
But ATM Hurricane Sandy is approaching and while outside my windows the wind sounds like a neverending train and my sump pump is angry, my weather report tells me there is only a 4mph breeze with overcast sky. When I don't even need to look out the window to know the weather why have an app that doesn't even come close? Keep trying. Thanks.
Used to love this app, but lately my hometown weather is giving me a towns that is over 250 km away! Also the app is no longer able to find my location. Will uninstall if not fixed soon.
Great app. I love the various radars that enable me to see weather patterns for myself. I HATE the fact that if I forget to go to the task killer and kill this app after I use it, I will return and my entire battery will be drained! WTF is THAT?
I've been using different pro versions of this app for about 8 years. The version on my Galaxy S4 was great.....installed a "newer" free version on my S7. I would have upgraded to pro version but email to app author went unanswered. I don't like the ads & apparently there are ads in the pro version now. Also, when I add a location, I need the ability to move the locator to a precise geographic location. When changes are made or my emails are answered I will most likely become a customer again.
This is the best interface in any weather app in the Play Store. Period. See if you can add accuweather also and let users choose the weather source, bacause weather underground is not showing the correct forecast. Also in 2x1 widget size the weather icon is slightly getting cut from the top (in the default icon set).
Other weather apps pick up the temp/conditions from 25 miles away from my city. I use Weather Underground but since there is no WU widget I gave this app a shot. So far so good! Updates right on time and when screen is unlocked. Weather conditions right on target for my location. Easy on battery. May consider the Pro version.
it's been too long since the last update, widget no longer feels aesthetic with the new line of 5"+ smart phones. there's just too much black spaces on the screen with the widget. also, it has some issues with sync. URGENTLY NEEDS AN UPDATE!
It just stopped working this morning. On my phone and on my boyfriends as well. Different carriers. So its not my network. All of the info is listed as n/a. Will not refresh. Will not display current info or radar. No error message. Just decided it wasn't going to show weather anymore. Please fix this!! I've been a loyal user for years. I'll have to find another weather app if this isn't fixed. :(
Use to work. I even bought the pro version. NOT WORTH paying all they do is rip you off. They should fix or give me back my money. This is why people rather go apk and not pay at all.. I will uninstall since this won't work. Fix this crap!
Awesome features, just what I was looking for, 4 day extended forecast including hourly, n looks great overall. Only little problem is that every so often u must manually refresh it cuz the time gets stuck...
This weather widget was my favorite weather app. Used it for years. Changed phone to S5, Verizon, now this widget is totally useless. There is absolutely no support after countless e@mails. Avoid this app at all costs.
I once loved this efficient and informative app, but it hasn't worked well (freezes, won't update after multiple tries and even closing & restarting. ...worse since I uninstalled and started again from scratch). Sadly, I am going with another app in hopes of less frustration.
Great app, nice simple widget. App shows lots of info that others don't such as a interactive graph of temperature and precipitation for the next 36hrs. Only downside is there is annoying gittery animation when going from daily to hourly forecast. If fixed, I will purchase the full version.
Loved this app on my BlackBerry. Not so much on my new android phone. Can't get hourly Temps just some annoying graph. The radar isn't as good. My locations aren't conveniently listed. Sort of disappointed.
3☆ —Cannot add widgets to homescreen I get a msg that says "problem downloading". I just re-installed the app & if the widgets work I'll then give 5☆.
Both this and the pro version have Kingston Ontario located in Newfoundland. The weather is a bit different a few thousand kilometres away so I can't really use this. The app looks pretty though, if that counts.
I liked this app best out of all weather apps I tried. HOWEVER... Two severe storms recently passed thru my area and this app crashed both times during the storms. It wasn't my service b/c other apps functioned fine. I no longer trust this app and have since dumped it. Bummer.
Always works on my Galaxy Mega phone. Thanks for creating this app, I use it everyday before getting on my motorcycle. Living in south florida you must stay informed of the weather. It can change at a moments notice.
The same severe weather advisory has been posted for my location since February 17. Today is the 28th, and I'm not getting the new Winter Weather Watch. Haven't had this problem in the past with this app, so don't know what happened. The extended forecasts have been fairly good and helpful though.
Beautiful animation. Such a pity it doesn't exist as a widget. The widget is like most other weather widgets: dull and unattractive. Limited weather information in the app. Would be poor app if not for the animation.
Was fine at first but nothing is ever close to being right.wind speed is off BIG TIME! Temps off humidity is off. Yesterday app said was 2 mph but wind was blowing 15 to 25 mph. Terrible app.
It stopped working "again" last week on all 4 of my Samsung Note II phones and on S6 Edge... so I assume it is the App fault and not an issue associated with the phone. Memory hungry, but probably because of animations. It used to be reasonably accurate. Pity, have to uninstall it, it is useless now.
Gives me everything I need to know to plan ahead for guests arriving; and I like the widgets/ animation options. Great app!
I ♥ this app - I have it on ALL my Andoid OS installs - just simply beatifully made and perfect UI. TOP NOTCH - Well done to the dev(s). Lovingly crafted and well prresented app. :-) MIKE
Got nowhere with this app. Loading for locations took forever and none ever came up.
Where's the wind speed forcast? Stunning appearance. I feel like a weather man when I open it. Widget is not too big with just the right info. Good advisories. Forcasts and conditions from Weather Underground.
Massive downloads for flashy animations, but the free app is so handicapped that you get much less actual info than free apps; and the animations become intrusive fast. Uninstall.
I like it. Mainly the graph that shows temp and percipitation percentages together. You can move the curser several hours and it tells you what the temp and hum will be. Wish the picture changed with it but it only shows current conditions. My brain would like it better and process the info faster if it did which would make better my time spent. Wish it had a 15 day extended forcast shown on a calendar which seems easier for my brain to digest and comprehend and would be so useful to me.
I love this app. It looks great and is accurate. I would like to see a written detail or 36 hour.
Really nice ui and functionality. I have Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget. Both good but I prefer this one. Great app.
I switched to this app because of option weather alerts for my location or any area in US I chose to select. All the features are great. I didn't give five stars as the accuracy was off. Clear skies when raining and temperatures were off. My husband has been using this app longer and it has performed well on his exact phone. I am figuring problem today is just a glitch....but if you tell me snowing tomorrow....I live in FL and this is May. I will be back to chat!
1. Battery drainer 2. Manual refresh update not working properly on widget. 3. Icons on weather forecast to small. 4. Sometimes get the message (Beweather unfortunately stopped responding) 5. Not more acurate than other unacurate weather app. After tried all weather apps on market, I had 4 of the best paied weather app installed same time, and still not found an app close to real weather forecast. Its 50% prediction 50% fact. I give 4 stars for the nice weather movies.
After losing the data on this app, I spent a few unhappy days without it. Finally, I uninstalled it. Upon reinstalling it, I was delighted to get back my favorite weather app. I love being able to view multiple saved locations with just a swipe.
The suggestion link is broken. Nearly every time I launch there is an error and I must choose the refresh button. Most apps are capable of reporting when the is a bug and this one I have to go through the play store eating system.
Nice looking and pretty fast, also accurate.
Keep getting error message, local weather does not update and widget does not work on my gs3. Was going to pay for full app but not until this is straightened out!
Everything works just as it should UNTIL...you reboot! The widget is on the home screen. After rebooting, it just reads "loading" with the spinning icon. It NEVER finishes loading, even after 5 minutes. The only way to get it back is to drag the widget back onto the home screen, BUT...now all your settings are gone. Have to set preferences again. Was contemplating buying full version after testing free version's functions, but not now. App hasn't been updated in over a year so I doubt the devs will see this & fix even though Play claims this to be compatible with Note 3. Uninstalled!

Dec. 2013 - Great app! Better than any other weather app I tried. July 2016 - what was a fantastic and reliable tool a few years ago has deteriorated to a useless waste. The app constantly freezes, fails to update and locks up my home screen. An update to fix these issues needs to be addressed. Do not install until this app gets overhauled.
