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

The August 2025 update is so bad I had to leave a negative review on the Apple Store and here as well. The UI design decisions put priority on loading Ads and hiding functionality (if the app loads a... 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

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

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

You already know what the problem is

You already know what the problem is. All the reviews are the same. What a slimy way to get MORE money for weather app. The quality of the app has devolved and now youre adding a + because everyone else is? When does premium+++ infinity+ultra-mega++ release? Can i just give you like $500 a year? Would that be enough?

Lifetime Premium bait and switch

Purchased Premium (lifetime) a few years back, which meant no ads. In recent months they introduced Premium Plus, and ads started showing up in my Premium account. This was annoying, because Premium was meant to be lifetime ad-free. The latest version puts Premium Plus ($19.99 per year) at the forefront, and most of the useful data (like hourly UV index) went from free to paid content. This was a bait and switch maneuver and feels quite dishonest.

Pushy adds vs actually service

I have not yet read other reviews, not one to be precise. I do like it for the radar. But for god sake if i need weather info i need it NOW. Im not liking the notifications especially. I would want notifications to know what the weather is near me because im a driver and have to be prepared in advance but 3000 miles away? Need features and options here.

And fyi, im not thinking about hair products!!!!

I want to know Is it gonna rain or not? So the notifications have nothing to do with the forecast but then expect us to watch 2 minutes of bull crap? No no no, just Carry exactly what you need for any situation and stop using this site.

Well, at least the notifications The radar is still cool. But please tell me how to stop the notifications?!

They run ads to get your data stolen.

I looked at AccuWeather on my Iphone yesterday, and up pops and ad to download TIKTOK. The jerks are endorsing compromising my device security. What a careless deed ! Also here in central Minnesota last week they had a snow storm event warning for 3 days. 8 inches of snow, and 40 mph winds. We cancelled apts and got three beautiful sunny windless days !!!!!!!! Deleted from all our devices. ( X 4 people)

This ladys pronunciation is terrible

This ladys pronunciation is terrible. That was you're only choice for the person to go on air? There is no ARMarillo. It's AMarillo. Also it isn't ROSEwell. It's ROSwell. Part of being on TV is to enunciate correctly. Get someone who can do that

Accuweather does suck and there respnce…

Accuweather does suck and there respnce is ""accuweather doesnt suck you do" im not claiming to be accurate but accuweather that is a company trying to say they are the most accurate comes back with the most unproffessional comment tells you they do suck and there very unprofessional🤣. Then to further show thier inaccuracy they say "thier doing the best they can with what they got". WTH, their saying we are doing the best we can with what we got but we are accurate. Why don't they say:
The weather has became so unpredictable that we may not be accurate but we are tring like everyone else. I would say at least there honest. But no there a lie and should not be paid at all. Dropingyou like a hot potato. Not because you are not so accurate but because your not professional or trust worthy with your words. Your action and words should match up.

INACCUWEATHER…

I've forecasted aviation weather for over 50 years. AccuWeather is the most consistently inaccurate service I've experienced. I have monitored this app for approximately 4 years. It's a simple matter to translate weather data from the National Weather Service, NOAA or just check the area radar. Combined with irritating and disgusting vulgar commercials like "LUME", AccuWeather is a real loser. Delete Now!

I have the accuweather app but it has no detail. It's been like this for a while now but you get the ads. Rubbish!

I have now deleted this worthless app for good and found one which is fit for purpose!

Your commercials are horrible!

Your commercials are horrible… they insult my intelligence! is this what you think of all your watchers are… that they are all scavengers and in need to sue someone: JG Wentworth, Camp Lejeune, Tylenol while pregnant, Zantac Justice, Mesothelioma. Then you have the foolish JJ & Joe Montana, the lady who stands there and belittles her husband about not calling the secondary insurance plans for social security. The most recent one (that causes me to turn off accuweather) has this lady with huge seeing eyeglasses and acts like an idiot! I’d recommend a new commercial sales staff!

Completely useless and not fit for purpose

Completely useless, inaccurate and tells lies.
I have wasted the entire afternoon waiting for the rain to stop so I could do some important tasks in my garden. The first time I checked accu weather at 2pm, to see what time the rain would stop, it informed me the rain would START in 30 minutes. When I checked again at 2.30 pm, informed me the rain would stop in 14 minutes. Well, the rain never stopped the whole afternoon, it just got heavier. At 5pm accu weather informed me the rain would stop in 52 minutes. At just before 6pm, with no sign of any let up in the rain, it informed me the rain would stop in 53 minutes. At this point I gave up and went outside anyway as it was starting to get dark and I needed to get those jobs in the garden done. The rain was tipping down, and I got soaked through. I am very angry that I have wasted an afternoon waiting for the rain to stop as promised, and very angry with accu weather for being so misleading. If they had just told the truth and said it would rain all afternoon, then I would have found an indoor job to do instead. This company and its product are not fit for purpose and should be removed from the internet.
