Despite its usefulness, the app's reliability and privacy handling detract from the overall experience.

App performance issues, sometimes not working properly or showing bugs.

Recent reviews

Requests A LOT of unnecessary permissions. Camera, storage, location (for the weather, I understand that, but precise location? Uhm no, this isn't AccuWeather they are not providing hyper local weather), microphone, and many others. The privacy policy states very clearly that they may disclose your data to uphold safety of users of service or public. That is way to vague, and allows them to pretty much spy on you if they wanted to

No longer updated. In last arrests show January 5th. Only thing that is updating, are the thousands of weather updates that's sent out. -edit- to response I have done that. My husband is seeing the same thing on his end.
