| 2024-12-17 |  | | After many years of using the app, from this morning when I go to open it, it just sends me back to the phone desktop, I deleted it and reinstalled it, and it's just the same. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | Very good app. Keeps asking for cookie consent at least once a week if you decline, though, and there's only accept all, no reject all, so you have to turn off several types of cookies individually if you don't want them. EU Cookie law says friction to accept and reject all must be the same. It would be nice if you fix that.Thanks |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | Have been one of the best and accurate app and deserve above 4* but giving 2. because now with last update the way they made cookies Policy tricky and sneaky. everytime have to deselect each vendors. be careful everyone with the way your date is used. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | Whilst the app itself generally works well, the process for opting out of advertising cookies is absolutely appalling! It takes over 10 minutes to trawl through over 100 advertisers and being forced to cancel them individually when a simple 'reject all' would suffice. Actively looking for similar apps without this opting our process. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | I've used this app happily for years and found it very accurate. This morning (2024-11-26) it asked me to grant permissions/access to way too much. With some regret, I have uninstalled the app from my phone. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | Very good app. Weather radar, rain graph and weather forecast. I recommend it. |
| 2024-10-21 |  | | There are a lot of bugs : not downloading the weather , not moving to the next steps of the configuration in a new device etc , but if we get out of it. it is a very useful application with increasingly value for users. |
| 2024-09-28 |  | | The 2 hour view and radar showed no rain at all, walked outside and it shortly later absolutely torrented down, got soaked, never again. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | Update. As of September 2024 the notification system is now completely broken. I haven't had an alert in over a month. Without that all you've got is access to radar data and short term forecast. Not useless but hardly remarkable. |
| 2024-08-26 |  | | Hi, All worked quite well for the past years. Now, I had to re-install the app and after clicking "proceed" after accepting cookies, the app is not starting at all... I tried several approaches but I am stuck and can't use the app currently. What to do? Thanks for the feedback! However, I waited multiple times for several minutes and it doesn't proceed after clicking on "proceed" Tested "buienalarm": same issue. Solution: leave the Netherlands and you can proceed |
