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

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

I've had the free version on my phone…

I've had the free version on my phone for years and find it to be pretty accurate. The forecast given is mainly by zip code and not cities alone. Storms don't necessarily travel in stright line so part of a city may be sunny and the other part rain,snow,etc. I've noticed so many people want the forecast in their yard or where they are going. Mother nature and the weather service don't always work together. To me AccuWeather isn't perfect but far from the worse. I'm still debating on getting the paid version.

Constant False Information

Whoever does this weather forecast definitely needs a smack in the mouth for constantly giving out false information claiming the next day is gonna be a dry day but come that day it still constantly rains and when they do predict rain then they are never get that one wrong, it's like they are just there to purposely lead us on with hopes

The free site works acceptably BUT ...

The free site works acceptably on my Windows laptop BUT they make it very difficult to opt out of data sharing and marketing cookies, which I find very annoying. The instructions in their Cookie Policy document say to click on the "the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link located at the footer of our websites." The problem is that, while the other three entries on the bottom line of the website are functional links, the one saying "Not Selling Your Data" looks identical but IS NOT A LINK, so there is no way to control marketing cookies.

Accu-suks-weather

It’s amazing that with so the technology we have to date, that this company employees get paid to be wrong everyday. When predicted 60 deg and sunny weather beiges a 50 deg, cloudy rainy day. Geeezzzzz, I’d love to get paid to be wrong everyday in my job.

A few weeks back snow was forecast…

A few weeks back snow was forecast 145mm of the stuff. Fantastic, never snowed like that in decades.. On the Day snow is forecast, then rain and sleet. Blue Sky was what we had no snow...
Can I also pick on the average temperature - if you need to know it should be 6c out, yet they claim it is 12c and thus 6c above average, even when its not.
Different phones different weather forecasts..... for the same area!

Should be called inaccuweather

Should be called inaccuweather. Their forcasts, alerts and estimates are wildly off. Not just once in a while, but consistently. Update: 24 hours before the big storm, Accusham Weather, when tallied up hour by hour estimated 4.2" for Westfield NJ. Actual snowfall was between .4 and .6 inches. This app gets it right one out of 10 times- absolutely pathetic.

AccuWeather predicts weather on a…

AccuWeather predicts weather on a different planet than this one. A planet with the same names of country's and city's etc. That can be the only reason the weather forecast could be so wrong so often.

Temperature for Kiruna misleading

I live in Kiruna in the far north of Sweden. On your site it says that we have minus 27°C. But here all thermometers show minus 14 to minus 15°C. Accur regularly shows at least 10°C below what the actual temperature is on location

Relieved dog walker

I've just come back from walking my dog. I could see a huge black sky looming, but AccuWeather said no rain for four hours.
Luckily I trusted my eyes and I'm warm and dry inside looking out of the window at torrential rain.
And AccuWeather still says it's not raining........

For the last few weeks

For the last few weeks, the forecast is way off. I'm sitting here in my house in Türkiye and AccuWeather says no precipitation for another four hours. Very odd as it's tipping it down outside

SET A TRAP TO VIST THEIR ADVERTS…

This outfit appears on the Guardian Australia, but would not give weather of the town I am in, but some other city. One could not make necessary change either. I complained but instead of showing me the town I was in, they changed it a near by town and few days later changed it to another town. From this exercise, I gather, AccuWeather wants people to see their other page with their adverts. Which I am not going to do.
