“Not very accurate”

Rose R.
8/24/22

While it is lovely they have a listed forecast for most places (or at least one nearby), they are often off by by up to 4° Centigrade in places like Alice Springs, Australia. A considerable over/underestimation. After some weeks I've become accustomed to re-jigging their forecasts based on my experience. I suspect they have no software that let's them know there forecasting is very inaccurate. Wind speeds are out as well though direction is good. The humidity thing is a complete joke in this country. Don't download the app but if you want forecasting for far-flung places, just bookmark the pages & adjust for their numbers related in accuracies.

“Total sham”

Do not trust this company they can't forecast weather more then two hours ahead. The 45 day forecast is just pie in the sky useless

I compared Accuweather with other weather companies. I agree no one can be 100% accurate, but it seems to be the most accurate. I compared weatherchannel, weatherbug, darksky,. WeatherNation

Terrible layout. Very difficult to access on Sansung Note 10+ Please go back to the previous format. This "downgrade" made it impossible for the app

They can't predict the weather to save their lives! The whole company should be shut down! Worst weather forecasting EVER!

I would have edited my last review to bring my experience with AccuWeather up to date, but I couldn't find an "edit your comment" option. However, I did have to get a new phone and that meant installing the latest version of AccuWeather's app. I don't mind the ads, you get what you pay for and since it's free, I can't complain. What I can say is this new version is terrible! Instead of plainly showing the date, time, temp, etc, the page now resembles the circular configuration reminiscent of the precipitation page, making it difficult to know exactly what's going on at a glance. I have no idea what the designers were thinking when they decided it was a good idea to make this change. The other pages are just as bad and complicated to comprehend. Even AccuWeather admits to having issues... like there's no widget and the weather no longer persistantly displays the current conditions near the toolbar or on the home page. AccuWeather's response to these problems are "We're working on it". Initially, thinking there could be a problem on my end, I installed it three times and three times I deleted it. It makes no sense having to go to the website to check on the current conditions and what's in store for the future. My phone came with a weather application already installed and there are many more choices out there. Contacting AccuWeather about it was worthless. All I got in response to the email I sent was "this is the only version available" and where I could find and install the application. As technically challenged as I am, even I know you have to go to the Apple Play Store or the Google Play Store to find it. Bye-bye, AccuWeather... it was nice while it lasted. I'm hoping to locate the web page I'd mentioned previously to find out if I can still install one of the older versions.

They call for severe storms and tornadoes and cause a panic that is NOT necessary. Weather channel is much better and pretty accurate..

Heavy rains for 1hour, but radar shows no clouds. Their maps don't coinside with the radar. Useless.

Tip for consumers:
Terrible forecast can't use in construction. Costing me time and money.

They want to prevent their source for weather information (The government) from providing weather information to the public for free.

First they want you to close your ad-blocker and then they still want to charge you for each page. They are greedy losers and shysters.
