Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 80 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently mentioned that recent software updates introduced an intrusive advertising system, tiny unreadable fonts, and confusing layouts that made standard mobile navigation extremely difficult. Consumers also complained that excessive advertisements frequently block essential weather information, disrupt daily usage, and drastically slow down overall application performance. Some reviewers were happy with past versions, noting that earlier editions were exceptionally user-friendly and provided reliable meteorological details. However, many customers expressed deep frustration over sudden subscription pushes, unexpected billing issues, and intrusive mandatory video ads appearing unexpectedly before checking daily forecasts.

The currenr version 21 is absolutely the worst designed screen I have ever seen. Besides being inaccurate, the layout is totally unreadable. I went back to version 20 or drop accuweathet altogether. W... See more

Who do you have doing your forecasts? A snail could do a better job. The forcast is incorrect 90% of the time. Off by several degrees. Rain not coming or off by several hours of your forecast.... See more

Stop pushing subscriptions and hiding behind pay walls. You have to be idiots to want weather forecasts 10+ days in advance when most of the weather models max out at about 7 days and beyond that you'... See more

Disappointing in our weather people

You search your weather location.
Either by allowing your location.
Or manually emtering it..
They provide weather for a location that is not mine.

Used to be so accurate

Used to be so accurate i used to recommend but now you might as well just look out the window.
Says now it's heavy rain, is it really??
Somethings gone wrong somewhere, probably a result of cutbacks and savings.

What went wrong this time?That's a true. And honest, review of aki weather.

What went wrong this time?That's a hallow way to start out. You know people are dissatisfied with accuweather. Just like i'm dissatisfied what's accuweather.
But how can I tell you if i'm satisfied with accuweather when I can't see the ten day forecast because they have a big square banner, advertising american family insurance, and there is no way to get it off the screen... So I can't tell my total dissatisfaction with accky weather... Except to say
Ache weather's job is to show you weather forecast. And if they're blocking that information with ads from american family insurance under one roof so I can't see the ten day forecast, then how ridiculous is that.... You aki, weather, people are a bunch of idiots..... You don't have one review on here.That's positive...
In my review, it's just going to add to the heap of negative reviews. So it shows that you don't care. It shows that

I wish I had option to give a no star review..
This is the worst weather forecast app in the market.. it is so bad that I can’t understand why I refer to it..
With all the modern technology they still can’t get it right.. Pathetic!!
Factual.. it’s said it’s going to rain today in Harrow from 12 to 3 and not a drop!!
Not only that but it’s been bright sunshine.

I subscribed as the App seemed useful, however, today, without any warning, it has dramatically changed. Designed for a phone screen in portrait but I use an iPad Pro in landscape and IT DOES NOT WORK! Too narrow, too small, too cluttered. Absolutely trashed it. Useless now!

Who do you have doing your forecasts.

Who do you have doing your forecasts? A snail could do a better job. The forcast is incorrect 90% of the time. Off by several degrees. Rain not coming or off by several hours of your forecast. It's ridiculous! We have a amateur weather forcaster here in town who has a significantly more correct forecast than AccWeather gives! Then there the ads and having to pay more for more than a 10 day forecast. Really doesn't matter because your forecast is wrong most of the time. I personnaly won't be subscribing to Accuweather any longer. Hope you've learned treat your female employees better after you were smacked with a lawsuit!

A pathetic, unusable “upgraded” App

The whole structure is rubbish and difficult to find what I am looking for.
The colour schemes and the tiny, spidery fonts make it impossible to see the words unless you have 20/20 vision and use a magnifying glass.
Force fed excessive number of ads, bad sequence of items. I will not pay to remove ads AND use such a lousy user interface!
Get me out o’ here!

Used this app for years

Used this app for years. Got a recent update and im about 1 ad away from never using it again. If you need ads to keep your app going its not a good app. Can't even check the daily or hourly without being inconvenienced with stuff I dont care about. Its getting pretty pathetic at this point.

AccuWeather app used to be great but new version is information overload

I’ve always liked AccuWeather app and relied on it for all my weather information. Previously the app was clear and informative. I opened the app this morning to find it’s all changed and now presents an incomprehensible set of data. Too much confusing information. This is a classic case of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Accu Weather I think you latest upgrade is a one goal and I will be considering cancelling my premium ad free membership.

It can be very useful on the days that it actually gives accurate forecasts. Those days are very rare however. I live in Maryland and I very often get rain forecasts that never materialize. It's upsetting when you plan out your day around the weather. The ads are also a nuisance.

An entrapment scam in my opinion.

The latest update has unleashed a highly intrusive advertising system.
Specifically a seemingly free memory test is appealing to older folk.
Having completed the long test, progressively an email is required, then a minimal payment which turns into a paid membership with very expensive products and RECURRING monthly payments.
I feel this to be close to an entrapment scam.
This unethical setup is wholly untrustworthy to me.

Predictions are just Predictions

I always try to explain to Florida Visitors that an 80% chance of rain, in the summer can mean...80% chance that it will rain for 10 minutes, somewhere within the area. When booking Trips or vacations... look at the predicted rain fall measurement. Yes 100% chance that we will get .19 inches of rain at some point but possibly 2 miles from where you are. It's a shame that weather forecasts are still so generic with the today's technology. In Key west, we just look up and look at the current radar. Generic forecasts are never accurate. Call a local....We know! It's our life and livelihood!!

It is a scam site

It is a scam site. Virtually never accurate. Will not accept comments.
Sensationalizes the weather so people will ck on the weather more frequently so they will read the advertisements.
A totally worthless site.

Almost EVERY day Accuweather is off for high temp., wind, and rain!

Almost EVERY day Accuweather is exactly 5 degrees too low for their forecast high temperature. The wind speeds are consistently inaccurate, showing a speed far exceeding what actually exists at the time. The storm expectations are also very inaccurate even during the day in question. One can simply look at the radar and current rain events and predict more accurately what will happen later the same day than the ridiculous Accuweather models.
