Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 320 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the new design extremely clunky, difficult to navigate smoothly, and burdened by a dark and depressing color scheme. Consumers also complained that the updated layout feels overcrowded with information, requiring excessive scrolling just to find basic daily details. Reviewers expressed deep frustration about the removal of useful features previously available in older versions. Some reviewers were not happy with the severely flawed location tracking feature that constantly places users in completely wrong areas. People additionally reported that the local weather forecasts are frequently unreliable, pointing out that daily predictions often differ drastically from actual outdoor conditions.

Dark and depressing and utterly useless

This new version of the Met Office app is Appsolultly hideous!!
Black on black, dark and depressing.
Scrap it now, Sack whoever thought it was good.
Have you been hacked or are you looking to close down?
If it hasn’t gone back to the old one, it will be getting replaced by another Weather Service,

I hate the new app its sooooo dark and hard to use .... why did you need to fix something that wasn't broken! Please change it back. And by the way this has nothing to do with all of your users not liking or wanting change...sorry the app is awful.

Not great

Not great! The nearest location is now 4 miles away from me. I used to be able to get the forecast within a few meters of my location. I work outdoors and I'm very reliant on an accurate weather forecast for many of my activities (applying fertilisers, herbicides, etc.) on a day-to-day basis. As we know it can be sunny on one side of the street and pouring down on the other side. This update does not provide me with that precision.

The new weather app is a disgrace

The new weather app is a disgrace. All my saved locations have disappeared and it is now stuck on a location I do not recognise. The new design is illogical and difficult to navigate

New app is a disaster

New app is a disaster.
Could see information quickly and clearly in old app. New app half the screen space is wasted and the data I want is more difficult to access.
Seeing data from more than one location is way more clumsy in new app.
Who allowed this to happen?
I've deleted the app and installed a different weather app.

So disappointed

So disappointed, I used to be called Michael Fish for all my weather accuracy. Now I don’t even know left from right with this update. Bring back wind speed min & max, direction of wind initials and more than a 5 hour forecast in view.

Dreadful

The New Met Office app is quite remarkably bad! Dumbed down, slow, absurd graphics, duplication, lack of information. Everything that others have mentioned.

A respected British success trashed..

The new Met Office app is possibly the worst change to an app imaginable. It makes you wonder if they have been hacked by a competitor to get them off the app market.
Whoever is in charge should carry out an investigation (not a review) into who is responsible for the decision to change what was a perfectly good app, was it checked before it went live, was it put through a user focus group, how much did it cost and whether or not whoever the designers were are actually over the age of 5.
A respected British success trashed in an instant.

Upgraded the weather app, more like down graded it.

I have always used this weather app on a daily basis for my job, it was accurate, easy to navigate with all the info I needed on one screen, so why did they feel the need to, I would say upgrade it but I feel, along with many others that they have down graded it, it is awful, all the info is now spread over different pages and my current location weather is for the next town, was someone on the beers when they designed it?

Excellent to rubbish

From being an excellent, well set out app, it has become nearly useless and inconvenient. Fortunately I've been able to download a previous version from Uptodown App Store, and disabled updates to stop it happening again!

Absolutely awful ‘upgrade’ to app

Absolutely awful ‘upgrade’ to app. Just repeating what lots of people have already said. You can only look at one location at once and my ‘home’ location is several miles from where I live. Also difficult to read/interpret information. What were they thinking?!?
