What a load of rubbish Totally inaccurate and is never right with the forecast Says it is heavy rain in my area at present yet the sun is shining Would give it no stars if I could

S70%
by S####:

Bloody useless weather app it can't even find my home city in Scotland I don't live in a youth hostel nor do I live near Prestwick airport. Come on developers get it right.

Y70%
by Y####:

Superb layout, easy to navigate, stacked with information including severe weather warnings. Best Weather App I've found.

W70%
by W####:

Clear concise info. Annoying ads but it's a free app

S70%
by S####:

I had been using the BBC weather app but it was inaccurate most of the time so I have been using this one and it is generally very good indeed.

W70%
by W####:

Only app I've found that shows wind gust speed along with all the other info all on one screen. I like to see wind speed and gust for cycling.

S70%
by S####:

This is the best weather app, simple , straight forward, non fancy and doesn't use loads of data.

S70%
by S####:

Only drawback is Widget which is too transparent making it hard to read.

S70%
by S####:

Easy to use and accurate. Got rid of BBC and Met Office for this and do not regret it

S70%
by S####:

This is now my go to weather checker up to date, very accurate and detailed and its free.

U70%
by U####:

Great app. - clean, simple to read, and most importantly of all, it's accurate, and runs happily on my Galaxy S3. Exactly what I want in a weather app. The free version has adverts, but they are small and not intrusive enough to make me want to upgrade to the paid for version to get rid of them (but please ban the potentially panic-inducing "your phone is virused" ad!) Update - I've been using this for a year now, and it has only been wrong once. I love it.

S70%
by S####:

I like the layout of this app more than the UK Met Office one I previously used. Of course, the forecast sometimes is quite wrong, but that is not the fault of the app. At certain times the information will not refresh but I would hesitate to apportion any blame for this. Having used this app for over 6 months now I am well satisfied with it and have no urge to change. An excellent effort.

S70%
by S####:

By far the best I've found. The old Met Office app was close to perfect. Since they stopped supporting it and replaced it with a clone of the BBC app, I've tried several others looking for a replacement. This one has a similar layout to the old Met Office app, with the timeline going down the page, which I much prefer to the across the page style of most apps. The design is actually even better than the old MO app, showing more information in the same space while managing not to be cluttered. Using MO data also means accurate forecasts. The only downside that I've found to the free version is that it doesn't show predicted rain radar. It's perfectly reasonable to restrict that kind of thing to the premium version as an incentive to upgrade, which I will probably do.

S70%
by S####:

Really like this table type of weather forecast - so much more informative than the bbc one - this app gives PROBABILITY of rain. The dumbed-down BBC doesn't, and so is highly misleading. Used on Nexus 7 and 9 and now on Motorola G3.

S70%
by S####:

It is simple to use and quite accurate. But the flashy adds like - "IS YOUR PHONE SLOW? CLICK HERE!" that take a part of your screen and really annoy me. But then again - it is a free app..

S70%
by S####:

Very useful. Easy to use. Best weather app I have found. However If it wasn't for the ad telling you that your phone is slow I'd give it five stars. That ad looks to me like a scam. Annoyingly flashing. Shame that lets it down

G70%
by G####:

so i wake up its chucking it down after this app said cloudy with some sunshine later. made plans to visit elderly mum, now i have to let her down as i cant drive in the rain. useless app still says light cloud not a mention of rain. the idea of forecast is so you can plan ahead. don't bother with this if you actually need to know what the weather will be like

S70%
by S####:

Obviously no weather forecast is accurate but I find this better than other apps I have used. I also like the different settings you can choose from and it's free.

S70%
by S####:

I've used the Met Office app until recently when it became unstable, this app provides the same data in a very readable format, with a number of improvements - for instance location management is much better, and it's good to see the probability of rainfall instead of just the intensity.

A70%
by A####:

I like that full info is on one page without additional clicking and five days listed in one go. It took though a few attempts before it installed correctly on freshly reset phone, eventually doesn't crash on opening.

S70%
by S####:

Free version: Great weather app, shame about the ads. I know these are not under developers control but when I get an ad telling me that my memory is full (new phone - plenty of memory) I then wonder about the honesty of the App.

S70%
by S####:

Presents UK Met Office data in a clear user-friendly layout without surplus fluff, small in size too. After using it for a while, I find I miss having a summary for the whole day.

H70%
by H####:

It was so accurate and perfect but after the update last month i guess, its being horrible. Not accurate and unpredictable.

S70%
by S####:

Great app, but Google Play keeps declining my payment for the pro version. You can't see forecast maps without it. Refuses to accept PayPal, seems to want me to sign up to Google Pay? Sorry developer as it's not your fault.

S70%
by S####:

Really happy with this app find it pretty accurate, easy to read so hope they don't update and spoil things like so many do.

S70%
by S####:

Great app, easy to use and generally very accurate. I like that it gives an exact percentage chance of rain, without rounding to the nearest 10. I use it to determine whether it's safe to go out busking and it rarely lets me down!

P70%
by P####:

Nice app. Clear and simple to use. Flashing add is annoying. I like the layout. It has the information I want for 5 days and I like that it gives probability.

S70%
by S####:

At least give a few hours on the rainfall maps.... Or days for surface pressure. Can go on the BBC or met office and get that for free. Other than that it's ok

O70%
by O####:

Great, at a glance weather forecast. Barometric maps a bit plain and difficult to read. Excellent mountain area specific information.

S70%
by S####:

Ever since I recently downloaded this app, and as commented by others, this is app is genuinely more accurate than the BBC's own forecast which I use to rely on. Certainly speaks volumes in itself. Keep up the good work!

S70%
by S####:

Pretty good app, shows a good amount of info, shame that the map view is not animated to show recent, now and predicted weather shots as another UK Weather free app does.

S70%
by S####:

Brilliant app. Clear display. Lots of detail by the hour. No additional silly graphics messing up the visuals. Ideal.

S70%
by S####:

Brilliant app and accurate, simple and user friendly, easy to use...my family keep asking me to check the weather because me the only one using Android...hopefully it will comes out iTunes one day

O70%

This app is very accurate, i have been down on loch lomond boating and Ordinary weather reports have said rain but this app give you more accurate regional development and to the hour very good brilliant infact

Latest update has fixed the location problem. Well done. Great app!

S70%
by S####:

Can someone please​ point me to a picture of the widget that shows the weather for the next 8 - 10 hours. That is all I would like to know - whether I need to take a coat or umbrella! All these apps provide loads of info but don't meet my needs!

S70%
by S####:

The best thing about this app is the reliable update. Unlike my usual choice, BBC Weather which frequently refuses to update.

J70%
by J####:

Poor performance today though....

S70%
by S####:

Simple layout that covers everything you select to know - your choice how much info you see. Seems to be the most accurate I've used and I also choose to rely on it during my work when I need accurate long-term weather information. Lovely!

Good app for weather but ads very distracting and not willing to pay £3.50 for ad free version. Uninstalled.
