Review summary

Users praise Hello Weather on Android for its polished UI, easy-to-read data, and privacy/no-ads. However, Android support is widely viewed as neglected with no updates since 2024, paywalled widgets, and poor parity with iOS (themes, radar, features). Some report a basic Android UI and missing precipitation timing details. While a subset remains satisfied with design and data quality, the prevailing sentiment is frustration over neglect and monetization that hinders the Android experience.

Pros

Attractive, well-designed UI with refined icons and a polished look.
Clear, digestible weather information with a trustworthy data origin; easy to understand at a glance.
No ads and a privacy-conscious approach (no data selling).
Option to view temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius at the same time.
Efficient performance and generally pleasant user experience.

Cons

Android support appears abandoned: no updates since 2024 and development seems focused on iOS.
Widgets and other features are paywalled on Android; only a small number of widgets and poor parity with iOS.
UI and theming do not align with Android standards (basic Android UI, themes not respected).
Precipitation/radar data often hidden behind paywalls or lacking in detail (e.g., no time window for rainfall).
Overall Android experience feels neglected, with reports of limited features and delayed updates.

2026-07-07	H.*****	Highly underrated weather app! No adds, nice layout, respectful of privacy, and fun wording. These devs are the bees' knees, the cats pajamas, the best thing since sliced bread!

2026-06-25	Ni*****	I did give this app a 5 star rating, but it now seems to be forgotten software. it has not had an update for a long time. I have now moved over to Gradient Weather (to get the full app costs a lot, but is being updated). Why pay for software that is not being updated?

2026-06-18	Da*****	EXTREMELY Confusing Even after I bought a Year of this app. Radar races by so fast making it unusable to me and that's the main reason I paid for this app was for slower and clearer Radar 😭

2026-05-27	Jo*****	Widget NEEDS to be improved. The content of the widget is fine, but resizing is a BIG issue. To start with it is an awkward size when you have other apps around it. It can clearly cover 2x2 cells comfortably, but instead they add margins that makes it cover 3x3 which is such a waste of space. And when you go to resize the widget then it doesn't resize the content so it ends up cutting into it. Lastly, could we add radar to more countries like South Africa, etc. Thanks.

2026-05-25	Ry*****	A better view of data from The Weather Channel, AccuWeather and others. The app is really well done and is worth exploring. However, I hope the app is still maintained. The last update was 9/24, and their Medium blog post about the current version shows a 410 error. I've gladly paid $5.99/year but may not renew if their isn't some engagement from the developers such as a more accessible blog than Medium or communication via the Play Store.
