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.

2026-08-04	St*****	Really nice app, clear simple data delivery that tells you just what you need to know and a good selection of weather providers. Just a pitty the widget selection lets it down so badly - resizeable yes, but the content doesn't adjust with it and smaller 4 X 1 and 1 X 1 options needed for those of us without huge screens.

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 😭
