“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

Ladies of Accuweather are giving the weather channel a serious competition for the most watched. Constanzer and Pash are the new "Hotties" along with competent reporting. Need a more up to date set/platform for these up and coming stars!

Accuweather is now clouded with so many advertisements it is not worth spending time on. Many of these are stratigically placed to cause accidental access and more frustration and waste of time. This review is submited as termination of wasting time on you.

So most of the fetuses are blocked by premium and as you can see in the video that is free on the weather app on apple and even weather channel without their payed version. (If they have one) And they delayed there emergency alert so much that the iPhone alert (this is put after a eas broadcast on tv) is there before the apps alert (of course you pay to get the alert faster) and most reviews on the App Store are fake made from AccuWeather (just a speculation but seeing how bad it is, is why I say this). When you pay it's not worth it you get 5 new things to see that you could see on other apps without paying. There live tv (current time in Atlanta for me) says that there is an ef3 or higher but most others say it's only a very weak ef1 or 0 which make this unacceptable because this could make people over react or under react costing lives. And to put the cherry on top they are trying to block the National weather service from giving you coverage for the weather. I wish I could give this app 0 stars or even negative cause I could go on and on about how bad this is.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t download this stupid app

Accuweather is the worst app ever! There are so many ads on screen that you can't even see weather. And I've heard they report your info (location, etc) to who knows who.

Company run by fraudsters and share alerts of deadly tornadoes only to paying customers and block competitors from developing apps. I want no part of such pathetic business practices.

The original Accuweather app was great, well designed, easy to navigate and very accurate. In my opinion it was easily the best weather app out there. But this new version: all I can is Accuweather WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? Was a hammered turd your goal? You have completely fornicated it up.

They keep reducing services. Used to get guestimates for 3-4 weeks.
Now they want $$ beyond 5 days.
Used to get hourly for 3 + days.
Now they charge for next day.

They can kiss my royal tush! And pay for the privilage!

Every day they add new charges for what was available for years. Have to find somebody else.

Predicting radar image is just the wrong thing to do - especially around urban areas. Accuweather should stop at the current time, not try to predict radar images. It misleads people!

For the past 18 months I've been complaining to Accuweather. I have family in Quebec (Bristol, Onslow, Shawville and Thorne Quebec) Four distinct areas. When a weather notification is sent out everything is in French. Four other weather services that go country wide provide English. What's up!? It shouldn't be that hard or would you maybe rather your english speaking customers in Quebec use your competition - THEY SEEM TO CARE!

Its almost very good for everyday use. I have this one on my phone and its kinda accurate almost all the time. Taking into account the service they had couple years ago - its improving.

The only times that Accuweather is correct is when there are no clouds within 100 miles of my location and it has been extremely hot and dry for several days within 500 miles! Winter "storms" predictions are sketchy at best, temperature ranges are marginal. We JUST had a significant Hail Storm for our area, Hail the size of marbles that as of 15 minutes after the storm, Accuweather still doesn't know about! Did wonders for our garden, leaves are shredded and a few plants are flattened! THANKS FOR THE NOTICE ACCUWEATHER! Gave us 3 seconds to go out and cover what we could (nothing). This app is a complete JOKE and needs to be removed from publication/circulation! But lets look on the bright side, we finally got one of those winter storms they predicted and my yard looks like I can get out my Snowmobile and have some fun.

Tip for consumers:
Don't count on Accuweather being correct

AccuWeather is more of an Ad agency than a weather site. Have you ever seen so many ads on one page? It takes forever for the actual weather part of the site to load because it's too busy jamming your screen with as many ads and pop-ups as it can. It's like a billboard with some weather thrown in. Their 90 day forecasts are laughable because they can't ACCURATELY forecast weather in a 24 hour period. Weather is one of my hobbies and I'm looking at the weather 24/7 pretty much. I am always checking their hourly forecast daily and noticed that when the weather turns out different than what they forecast, meaning rain and temperature, they will actually tweak it to agree with current conditions. Pretty shady. I actually live near their headquarters and they can hardly get their own backyard weather right. Maybe they should get a professional weather station like I did 15 years ago. Accudrama fits them well too. Too many articles totally unrelated to weather and now they are touting prescription drugs as if seeing big pharma commercials on TV all day and night isn't enough. Stop the Insanity!

Slow to update, about 1 1/2 hour old data.
The wind direction arrow points the WRONG WAY by 180 degrees!
I think almost any other weather data would be better.

Accuweather gets the temperature right once in a while, but they can't predict rain at all. Worst weather app I have ever used to predict the weather.

I feel like they just throw numbers out on their forecast because it will say like 88 degrees for the high and have it actually be 101. Its absolute bs and the worst weather forecast i know of

I have never in my life seen a weather prediction as wrong as this continually. What complete $#*!! Deleting everything about them off my phone now.! Have been planning on it for weeks. But this is it! Pathetic on levels that aren't even human! What a disgrace to the entire field of people studying the weather. I am 36 years old... and studied meteorology in hopes of being a climatologist or even a meteorologist! Even met David Philips as a kid. And this is nothing but disgraceful to the entire community! Have not seen one correct report in multiple areas that they predict! EVER! WTF! Whomever is even behind this fiasco should save us all the trouble and climb under a rock And disappear forever! And anyone who disagrees should go back to school... seek therapy... or do as I mentioned in the latter. For god sake make this non existent because this is garbage... garbage... garbage...! My god I could go on... and wish I could... but I am so upset with this app even my family tells me to stop. Pure and utter human garbage!

This is an overhyped site. Every thing they report on weather is far off from actually is. Google should not show them in search. See bbc weather instead.

AccuWeather is a site that tells us the weather globally I am satisfied with this site.

It said that it is going to rain at 5 am Monday and this prediction was accurate rain started at 5:02 AM.

To many times forecast is wrong, don't count on what they say, yesterday forecast for tomorrow was cloudy and 83 today nothing but rain and high humidity, to many times wrong for me.
