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.
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 have been using accuweather app, a while and did a quick comparison with weather app on iPhone. It justifies it's name Accu*
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
For years used this site for my weather.
Now I'm better off licking my finger and sticking it out the window!
They never get it right anymore!
Love the old version this one is terrible looking for a replacement. The last version was easy to use with more information.
Supposed to rain all week all-day all night. For these sophisticated weather machines sure are wrong alot.
Use to be real close last year. This year they aren't even colse. Who is the new employee? Fire them!
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.
Says it's 58° where I live and it's 80°! Worst weather website and app! Do not recommend using this!
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this website or app or weather
Makes you pay for free government data. Tax payers have already paid for this data and this company lobbied to contain the information.
They call for severe storms and tornadoes and cause a panic that is NOT necessary. Weather channel is much better and pretty accurate..
Can't pull up day I want when I want to. Keeps giving me days I'm not trying to research. Back and forth over and over wrong information. Sucks!
New revision to Accuweather is terrible. Hate it. Go back to the way it was. Very difficult to navigate not intuitive and not user friendly
Website is terrible - not user friendly although I like accuweather because it is accurate. I used to love it until the website was changed.
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.
Accuweather.com is the worst weather website ever. A general misnomer, they are not accurate whatsoever.
I enjoyed this app until the 2020 update. I uninstalled it. It sucks so bad. The developers screwed up on this one! Thanks for ruining a good thing!
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.
As someone who makes a living outdoors this app was my first to check conditions.
Now will probably just delete. Totaly Sucks
Am from Kenya a place called Chiakariga Tharaka Nithi county Kenya.
On your app it's showing chiokarige kindly rectify that
ACCUWEATHER SITE SUCKS BIG TIME IT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A REAL EMAIL ADDRESS THEN DOESN'T ALLOW A SUBMISSION NOT EVEN FROM THIS PAGE
