User Reviews

User feedback shows strong positives for SA relevance, local accuracy, helpful features, and visual updates, but recurring issues undermine experience: crashes and loading failures, blank or non-updating data, disliked UI changes, pricing concerns, and inaccurate forecasts. Addressing stability, data reliability, and pricing transparency would likely restore trust and usage.
Pros
  • Regarded by some reviewers as one of the best SA weather apps.
  • Very accurate for some local areas.
  • Offers useful features like activity-based recommendations.

  • Some users prefer it as their go-to weather app.
Cons
  • Crashes and won't load after updates.
  • Data fields go blank or stop updating.
  • UI redesign caused usability issues and is disliked.
  • Pricing/subscription model is seen as misleading and expensive.
  • Forecasts are often inaccurate or inconsistent.

This is one of the best weather apps I could find for weather in South Africa! I’m very close to giving it 5*, however, the ad removal price/year is not correct. It states that it cost $1 less in the app than what is presented to you once you are about to pay. I don’t mind paying a $ more, but at least make sure that it’s not misleading then. Keep up the great work on this, it’s truly someone exceptional to be using as a South African. *I’ll subscribe and update this review as soon as the discrepancies are fixed
