2024-11-28 | Karen Gleason | I had weatherbug for a long time & recently it wouldn't open for me. The only thing I could see was the map. I un-installed it & reinstalled it. Now it says I have to agree to terms, but when I click on agree, it does nothing & freezes up. I don't know what changed, but I hate it now & will have to find something else unless this gets fixed | |
2024-11-28 | Scott Gordon | This used to be the best weather app you could get. Yeah it was kind of glitchy at times, but it was still better than most. Now however it is garbage. They "updated" it a couple times and it seems they updated it so well it is now unable to open at all. Went from great app to unusable with a single update. They last update did nothing to fix it, so don't bother trying. I would give it zero stars, but it will not let me. But rest assured, it isn't even worthy of a single star. Pity. | |
2024-11-26 | Cindy Nash | My card order suddenly is not working correctly. Where I used to have lightning, it now shows fire. I don't care about where fires are. It is near the bottom of my order, but is now showing up first. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times to no avail. Please help to fix this. | |
2024-11-26 | Angela Trogdon | Update 11/25/24: Downgraded to 2 stars. The app now takes forever to load, and I usually don't have the time to wait on it. I even updated the app, and it didn't help. Frustrating because I have used it for 8-9 years and it's been great. Fix this, WeatherBug! 12/20/16 4 Stars: This is my go-to app for weather on my android. | |
2024-11-25 | Linda Young | Weatherbug is still crashing upon startup even after the latest November 12th update...this issue has been ongoing now for the past 4 weeks. This used to be the best-ever weather alert program, but not anymore. I have always depended on this App for my daily weather and for weather alerts. I sure hope they can get the issues worked out and remove the "virus bug" that is causing the problem.....when it starts working again, I will gladly change my rating back to 5 stars. | |
2024-11-24 | rangerlee | Been using the app for a long time on phone and kindle. Earlier this year got a new kindle but wasn't able to load weatherbug. Then this week it will not persist as usual in my pull-down menu. Now I start it and as soon as I move to another app it goes away. This is the first app I use in the morning and often the very last before bed. I'm on it often during the day to plan my day/week. Very disappointed. | |
2024-11-24 | kristen burnett | 11-25-24, the weather station for my area is either too far away or not working. The app is off nearly 10 degrees and always off with wind and temps. Something changed in the last update and my temperature reading is nearly 10 degrees off the actual temp. I know it varies, but I'm running your app next to another app and your temp is consistently 6-8 degrees off. This poses a problem in the winter months when I'm trying to weather proof my property in prep for freezing temps. | |
2024-11-24 | carl reichard | I have had Weatherbug for 6-7 years. It was the best weather app I could find. From the very beginning, it has always been glitchy and would sometimes act weird or not work, no matter which phone I had at the time (been through several). Had to get a new phone about a week ago. Samsung Galaxy A15 with Android 14. Weatherbug would not work at all. The phone said the app had a bug. I had the latest version. I uninstalled it for the time being. Wish it would get fixed right. | |
2024-11-23 | Wendy Schroer | The app won't open. I've had this app for a long time. It quit and won't open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and it won't open. Fix this problem or I'm done. According to reviews I've seen it's an ongoing problem. I have it on my tablet and it's fine. I have no issues with any apps but this, so no it's not my phone or Internet service. It's on your end and you need to fix it or lose customers. I just tried again for the 5th time. I installed another weather app. 11/23/24. | |
2024-11-23 | John D Jones III | This used to be my goto Weather App, but after a recent update last month, it just started crashing. I cleared the cache and the data and reinstalled the app and still crashes. I have contacted the developer who replied once asking for my phone details, versions etc which I immediately provided and have not heard anything more, in spite of numerous update requests. I am subscribed to the ad free tier for this app, and expect a working app. The app update 3 days ago did not fix the issue.. |
