“Multiple issues on iOS 26 — Can't log-in, must force-ckose. Freezes and more problems. After managing to login, favorites and settings aren't carried over. 👎👎” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Completely frozen — App will no longer open. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still won’t open.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“App doesn’t open — Most of the time when I open the app it’s just a blurry screen, when it does actually open and work it’s pretty good but what’s the point if I can’t open it most of the time. It’s not the WiFi or data because other apps work fine, I tried uninstalling and installing again and that did not fix it. Hopefully this can get resolved” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Garbage ads — Deleted” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Bad ads — Bought this app years ago. Never had ads. Now after last update on each page very nasty ads all over the place. Recommended over the years accuweather to thousands of people now will tell everybody to avoid it and cancel subscriptions” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“New pop up ads — In the last year or so they’ve added pop up ads that are increasingly annoying. Ads with fake exit buttons that take you to a website. Better apps out there. Not worth the pop ups. The weather is also surprisingly INACCURATE. At least in my area.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Never Using Again — Got up late last night said 50% of rain tomorrow. Got up this morning checked the weather app. Checked hourly forecast. 50% chance of rain. Got to where I was going and the clouds looked horrible. Looked up weather again. Chance of rain 100%. Are you freaking kidding me. I know that weather is hard to predict but to be that off? Never coming back” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“GARBAGE — STRAIGHT RAINING RIGHT NOW, THR APP IS SAYING NO PRECIPITATION 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Horrible — Ever since the upgrade this app is horrible!!! Between all the ads and inaccuracies I've deleted it. Not very helpful when you are in the midst of a tropical storm and the app says it might rain in 60 minutes and it’s literally down pouring.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“iOS — I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but this app is either bugged or it just sucks. I have to make sure my wifi is off and ever app on my phone is off just to restart the AccuWeather app 3-4 times (if im lucky) just to get it to open and load in. Thus making this app extremely unreliable.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Really slow to load — The app takes minutes to load on every device I own.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Temperamental — Very temperamental with Apple Watch. Works one day and then doesn’t the next. I fight to get it back. Deleting, reinstalling and restarting.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

Help please!” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Something went terribly wrong — And it doesn’t look like your site is operating and that’s after paying the annual subscription fee!
