User reviews

Weather Elite by WeatherBug is praised for its fast severe weather alerts, detailed radar maps, and customizable interface, with developers responsive to feedback. However, users commonly report frequent app crashes especially after updates, inconsistent and inaccurate temperature information, broken widgets and notification features, as well as issues with login persistence. These recurring problems affect usability, causing frustration despite the app's solid core features and long-term user base.

Pros

Provides fast severe weather alerts that are quicker than TV or radio sources.
Offers detailed and informative radar maps, including unique features like a pressure map.
Allows customization such as reordering of panels to suit user needs.
Has been a longtime reliable app for many users with a user-friendly interface.
Developers appear to listen to user feedback and have made updates accordingly.

Cons

App crashes frequently after updates, often becoming unusable without a fix.
Temperature and weather condition data are inconsistent or inaccurate between different sections of the app.
Widgets and status bar notifications often fail to update or display correctly.
The app frequently logs out users, not recognizing saved credentials, leading to repeated sign-ins.
Updates introduce new bugs, breaking features such as radar maps and location tracking without timely fixes.

Recent reviews

Tons of problems and inconsistencies. Can't check weather at current location without setting it as a permanent location in the app. Differences in temperature and other conditions at exactly the same time but in different sections of the app. One screen literally shows BOTH a 65 percent chance of rain at 9 o'clock AND a 70 percent chance. Small difference, but why cause confusion? This app used to be good.

Update after the most recent update: nothing has improved. ||| The high temp of the day now said 0⁰ for any location. After a few updates, you are still failing at showing anything but 0⁰ in the app or notifications banner for the Hi. Also, your app keeps unselecting my current location for the default status bar info. I have to frequently go into the app and reselect my location to be shown in the status bar. Update: still an issue
