Great app. I've been using it for years, and find its daily forecasts are more reliable than many others, including the BBC one. Useful home screen widget too, in several sizes. Only drawback is that I can't find how to change options for the widget (like how often to update, and to change which location is shown), and I'm sure these used to be available. But the app itself is very good.

Accurate for the most part. Good weather app for the UK. Easy to read without excessive animations. Only minor niggle for me is the swiping between the tabs; it's not smooth and can be finicky, the slightest downward movement causes the page to refresh. Easier to press on the tab's name to switch. Could be more fluid. Other than that a great little weather app. 👍

Utterly useless. Such a shame as it could have been 5* as lovely clear layout but it sometimes gives forecasts for the wrong locations. In some cases it gives the forecast for 50 miles away from where you ask so is totally misleading. Sometimes it's correct and very good, sometimes not so you just can't trust what it reports. I contacted the developer but no reply hence the bad review.

Just as much detail as the Met Office app but much more accessible and also customisable, including choice of defaulting to current or last location. Update 1: most impressed with speed of fixing a bug; one morning it kept crashing but by the afternoon there was already an update. Update 2: just moved to iOS and very disappointed that this app isn't available.

Note to developer: The contact area on the widget's refresh icon is way too small. You need to have the dexterity of a brain surgeon to avoid opening up the app by accident when trying to click the refresh icon on the widget. It needs to have a dead zone around icon at least the diameter of a finger! Also, I have this on my phone and tablet. My phone has the wind direction and speed on the widget, but my tablet does not have this option. Very strange? Other than that, a good app!

It's free firstly, I didn't realise this was the only weather app free? And today is the only Sunny day but wind that spoils it by reaching up to 30MPH. I very nearly had the idea of spending the day out and about, not now I've been notified of strong winds later on during the day. Also impressed how detailed the app is, the maps great and all other detailed info on what you need to know is a good touch. So I'll be keeping this app and being notified on what's going on outside is essential.
