RetroWeather TV is loved for its nostalgic retro design and soothing jazz, with rich weather data on one screen. Many reviews praise the vibe and information, often calling it the best weather app. However, reliability issues are common: freezing/crashing after updates or Pro upgrades, data outages or incorrect locations, and occasional widget/rotation problems. Users want fixes to stability while preserving the unique feel.

  • Rotation-related freezes or UI/navigation issues when rotating the device (screen locks up)

This is the best retro app I’ve seen. I have it on my iPad and iPhone. Now all we need is a widget for the Home Screen. With the same vibes. Love the work you do. Keep up the epic work
