AccuWRONG
February 2, 2025

When a prediction is 40 degrees off its more of a guess and very very wrong. Dont trust accuweather! They say its 15 deg. When my phone says its 50. Thats an egregious difference in weather how are these guys not called out for this?

Never accurate about Nicaragua, always inaccurate! Never had a day when it was correct! It's a tropical country so always says humid and showers, totally wrong!

Forcasts seem to be fairly accurate. But OMG the adds are ridiculous. I get it, its a free app and they need to make a buck. But seriously it is over kill. Sad they do this.

Inaccuweather
July 18, 2023

I am sitting here on a clear day without any rain. The radar for Accuweather indicates that no only is it raining, but there is a severe thunderstorm going on. Nope. Not happening.

This is typical for InAccuweather. I know forecasting is hardly an exact science, but even their radar is wrong.

Garbage forecasting
July 14, 2023

My grass is dying because of the inaccuracy of this service. I spent 3 years intensely laboring to dig up and redo my entire yard and invest in growing all new grass. However, I do my best to conserve water due to cost and rely on rain when I can. Started using accuweather this year and they are nearly always wrong. For example, at 8am they'd provide an 80% chance of rain during the afternoon, so I wouldn't turn on the sprinklers in the morning. By noon, when I check the radar, there's no rain in the area, there's blazing hot sun, and the chance of rain is down to 10%. This happens almost every time there's a supposed chance of rain for my specific area. My grass has dried out in the summer sun and I now have to spend more money to fix my yard again. I'd love to type a few curse words, but then my review won't get posted. But that's how I feel about "accu"weather.

I'm a casual weather bug and monitor NWS forecast and several others. AccuWeather is awful, I see day after day significant missed forecast of temperature, and rain probability for my local area.

According to Accuweather, a thunderstorm that has been over my property is supposed to be several miles away. Yet, it's still overhead, with lightning flashing everywhere. This is a frequent problem with their website. There have even been occasions when their map shows no storm activity within 100 miles, while a large thunderstorm is on top of our area. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. Trust them at your own peril. So much for claimed accuracy. Shame!

Sh*tty app run by a sh*tty human being. Lifetime Premium account purchased years ago no longer works, premium features are blocked behind a new 'pay wall' that I would have to purchase, or 're-purchase'. Apparently the Accuweather CEO/Owner needs to look up the definition of 'lifetime'.

There are better app options, virtually any one of them would be better than this.

Good luck Accuweather, good luck at life!

Really?
April 7, 2023

Wintercast predicted 12 to18 inches of snow for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We'll, today is Thursday. We got maybe 3 inches and wintercast still says 12 to 18. For crying out loud you guys, fix it already! You just look like you really don't know what you're doing.

Paid for a lifetime premium subscription awhile back. Now with their new "premium+" subscription, they have actually TAKEN AWAY benefits of the lifetime premium I bought. Now there are more adds despite my premium, can't view hourly forecast beyond a few hours, and more. This is very unethical. I would say it's fraudulent but we live in America where there is no such thing as fraud, just profits. Good work guys, you're going to see everyone leave.
I just started using Apple Weather built-in app on my iphone instead. It has a low rating because it used to be not great, but it's much better now. No ads, great hourly forecast, and very fast.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON ACCUWEATHER, they are bunch of creepy fraudsters. There are other apps that are completely free and much, much better. Accuweather should be ashamed.

Oh dear god
March 25, 2023

So most of the fetuses are blocked by premium and as you can see in the video that is free on the weather app on apple and even weather channel without their payed version. (If they have one) And they delayed there emergency alert so much that the iPhone alert (this is put after a eas broadcast on tv) is there before the apps alert (of course you pay to get the alert faster) and most reviews on the App Store are fake made from AccuWeather (just a speculation but seeing how bad it is, is why I say this). When you pay it's not worth it you get 5 new things to see that you could see on other apps without paying. There live tv (current time in Atlanta for me) says that there is an ef3 or higher but most others say it's only a very weak ef1 or 0 which make this unacceptable because this could make people over react or under react costing lives. And to put the cherry on top they are trying to block the National weather service from giving you coverage for the weather. I wish I could give this app 0 stars or even negative cause I could go on and on about how bad this is.

Aggressive ads
March 22, 2023

I've relied on AccuWeather for many years, and find them to be mostly accurate.
But I've now uninstalled the app due to the aggressive ads.
They used to have small ads at the bottom of the screen, but now you are not allowed to see all of your forecast without being forced to go to their ad to upgrade.
I'm done with the

I just uninstalled this app. What an Enterprise?They just block the daily view with their ad to upgrade to premium version. You cannot see anything forecast after 7pm. We should all abandon their free app. There are a lot of other free weather app out there to choose from.

Inaccurate weather
December 19, 2022

They should rename themselves inaccurate weather. Rarely accurate. They have showed it snowing here for the past 4 hours and not a flake has fallen. Days they give no snow at all we get more than days they give an amount. Only job you can be wrong all the time and still have one.

Deserves 0 stars
December 5, 2022

I have always used accuweather and now I can honestly say I WILL NEVER USE IT AGAIN! Accuweather deserves 0 stars. Why so many ads? You can't even see the weather. People, don't waste your time. Accuweather is garbage.
