| 2024-12-14 |  | | This is an excellent app for viewing ads. Unfortunately, if you want to view the weather, it's not very useful. The latest update now adds even more ads, in the form of videos that take up the entire screen. New update! More ads! That take up the entire screen and will not close. |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | The name itself is synonymous with top level weather forecasting. Seldom wrong. The widgets display up-to-date information and are a pleasure to view. Recommended with top rating.🤗😘🙏 |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | The app randomly opens up the web browser and tries to download stuff to my phone. There are at least 26 different trackers that get installed on your device when installing this app. It's ridiculous. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | It's OK. When they show the road conditions in winter time, I don't understand why half of the highways on their map are missing!!! Other apps are better. Also, in the summer heat, when you want to see if there is a warning, and you get an ad. Does this mean they don't get enough funding from the government and ads on TV? |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | I rated this app 4/5 in 2021. Now it's 2024 I need to change it to 1. I can't sit by and watch the enshittification of this app any longer without commenting. The layout of the longer range forecasts (7 days and 14 days) is absolute trash to look at. The hourly forecast isn't much better. Also, I can't even look at the forecast for today without ads between every couple of hours? More full screen ads popping up in my face whenever I click on something? Atrocious, damn near unusable. Fix it. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | The most trustworthy news on everything weather related. Good looking app. Easy to use, and for a very tiny miniature fee you can get rid of the ads. Very pleased. |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | Before you step into your outer-wear gear, start prepping for the weather waiting for you to experience out there, right now! Key words for your actions: good heavy overcoat, warm boots with reliable traction under soles, and appreciated winter ❄️ accessories such as: tuque/ toque, thick scarf, earmuffs, mitts/gloves. Then be sure to remember to bring your cellphone 📱, keys, and personal wallet. You don't want to repeat the process of coming and going in this cold environment, eh! 😳🥴 |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | Dropped 2 stars because of all the technical glitches lately!! What the heck?! The radar maps only work 50% of the time. It's insanely frustrating. I have to go to the browser version to see maps that work, which drives me away from the app. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | Update: So. Many. Ads! Too many intrusive, screen-blocking, pop-upping, useless ads. Uninstalling for a second time...never again! Utterly useless. It "worked" for a while but now no weather loads at all. Uninstalling. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | This app is becoming increasingly unusable with the intrusive ads. The embedded ads we scroll past while reading the forecast are fine, but popups load jarringly a few seconds after we've already tapped through to other app areas and started reading. |
