WeatherBug Elite Customer Service

Sure, you *could* just use Apple Weather, it’s basic but does the job. Or you could uninstall Apple Weather and take something more advanced for a spin. I’ve been using this app since Apple bought and shutdown DarkSky. The price has risen significantly since my purchase, but if you hate ads sucking up data and pixels, and need access to timely and detail weather conditions, this is the app to get. I particularly like the variety of sources the app pulls together for storm alerts, and the lightning alerts are particularly useful at work. Cons - No dark mode. None, it’s just not there. The interface is starting to feel dated and has a few elements better suited for a 2012 website. Signing into the app does nothing that I can see — I was hoping it could sync settings and alerts across devices, i.e. if I dismiss a storm alert on my phone, it should auto clear off my iPad too. The widgets need to be updated to support iOS 17 and the watchOS complication needs some attention. Re: watchOS — The complication only supports a handful of watch faces, which is annoying for such a pricey app. The complication also does not update itself in the background. It will retain the same weather data for days, even if you’re 200 miles from the last location where you opened the watch app. The app itself is slow on my Watch Ultra and doesn’t dynamically update in the background. Getting it to update to current location and conditions is a chore. Weather alerts, at least stuff from NOAA, should push to the watch imo.

I really like this app - I have the regular weather app on my iPhone and I have this one. The weather forecasting on weather seems historically to be more accurate. Also it gives me several features which I use regularly and have come to depend on: perhaps the most important of these is weather alerts from the national weather service regional service office. These alerts include things like winter storm warnings, high wind warnings, severe weather (hail) warnings, flood warnings, etc. it tells how far away the lightening strikes occurring in the last 30 minutes are. In the winter these are typically over 1000 miles, but in the summer they can be less than a mile. I like the radar view feature, the highway camera view feature, the detailed hour by hour feature. This is really a great app and I use it a lot! Many thanks to the provider!

I've used WeatherBug Elite for many years and much preferred the interface of it vs the newer WeatherBug app. While I was glad to see it's been updated, as I've been getting warnings about it being an old app that could slow down my phone, it is harder to see the information. (1) the darker background of the old version was better; (2) now more 'white' space on the 10-day tab so you see less days on the screen without scrolling; (3) most annoying is the huge space right below the current temperature! Otherwise, I like we can reorganize the tiles. Why I still like the app: very pleased with the weather conditions info, forecast, weather alerts. What really appeals to me is that WeatherBug uses local weather stations-ours is at the elementary school a mile away.

Title say it all. I rely heavily on this app, for many things, from an early morning check for the day, hour by hour, to figure out what wear (especially, in Spring and Fall, when temps change so much, throughout the day), it enables me to know if I need an umbrella, a coat, a sweater, etc. I also rely on it, for its “StormyWeather” features, and timely watches and warnings urgent notifications In the Spring, to protect my electronics, I keep a daily eye on its “Lightning” Feature. It’s also a very easy and intuitive app to use. One thing I like a lot is that, in the Paid Version there are no ads. (If there were ads, I’d be looking for another one. Fortunately, it doesn’t). I like that it has Weather Stations in multiple locations, LOCALLY, and not just relying in a nearby larger city 30 miles away, with different topography than where I actually live at. This is important, as it provides more reliable, Local weather. I also like that it gives both hour by hour weather previsions, it also gives me hour by hour Temps AND “Feels like” temperatures. There’s more, but this is sufficient. All-in-all, a truly great app.

I’ve had Weather Elite for years. And after trying to sign in today, the app went completely crazy. Kept popping up page after page. I could hardly catch the page to close it as it kept loading. This is on iOS 16. I ended having to delete it. Please fix the app and add a complication for the watch 😞 Update: After uninstalling and reinstalling, I find the That weather Bug Elite is stabilized and working well! I’ve changed my stars to 5 as we have been using this app for many years and that was my first glitch. Also, the developers have reached out to me to help me with the issue. I appreciate that so much. I highly recommend this app!

This has become the weather app that I use on a daily basis, no matter where I am in the world. The app never gets weird: no crashes, no freezes, no formatting errors which paint information overlapping or beyond the window’s boundaries. They seem to adhere to the old fashioned idea of testing before releasing. The forecasts are neither more nor less probably correct than those from any other model. This Elite version has no ads, and while the overall esthetic is not something that I find beautiful, it allows me access to the information which I seek without making me jump through hoops to find it. Good as any, and better than most — especially better than the other half-dozen weather apps I have installed.

We are an “outdoors” family that relies on Weatherbug for guidance every day. It has an amazing set of assists well packaged for wonderful ease of use. We use the weekly overview, the detailed daily description, and the hourly views with a single tap. The Alerts provide timely updates for weather advisories and warnings. As a sailor the wind info is indispensable. For snow/ice the traffic cams give video of road conditions around our house and at the destination selected. The radar real-time motion shows 100% accurate view where 1hr of motion is displayed allowing very accurate up-to-the minute ability to estimate rain/snow etc. arrival. We love this app and it really improves our quality of life. Thanks Weatherbug developers - great job!

I have found the Weather Bug App to be the most consistent way to keep myself informed of the weather in my area. I love having the ability to rearrange the content in order of what I care about most. There is only one small thing that frustrates me and it is not truly important just annoying. I cannot find a way to read the complete title of the really great Storyful videos. It will read something like, “Dangerous storm appears to...” and it would be nice to know the full title. It is a trivial thing but it feels when your phone loses power in the middle of a conversation or a game app. Other than that small annoyance it is a great app I use everyday.

I admire different features in different weather apps. I suppose it’s human nature to have favorites. WeatherBug is my favorite for hourly weather at my place. When I am taking a road trip this hourly data at a fixed location is less interesting than more regional coverage. Other apps do a better job here. Only one app gives me an overview of surface winds over a wide region ... and sadly it is no longer supported. We need a weather app that can be user programmed from bits and pieces of our favorites. I would start with WeatherBug and end up with something very different. Suppose we each would craft our own ideal weather app. Good luck.

First off disregard all reviews of less than 3 stars as they are rubbish written by morons. Have tried all of the best professional paid weather apps. This one is the best as of 2017 for iphone. Some others are close. This has info laid out well. Has all needed info. Alerts are good. Very configurable. If you have a rock bottom cheapo phone with no memory then buy a decent phone. Although this app takes less memory than many. Its not a problem. And you do not need to use clouds. It will find any location or you can enter it. Has very good radar graphics also. For ten bucks i would not be without it.

Had this app for years now and overall and generally very happy with it. It does always seem to have some issues though. Some of these were fixed it seems with this big update (map animation for one) but nit sure how I like the overall format. I don't like that you can no longer swipe between your saved locations. There also seems to be a bug with my main location. There are a couple in my town, and even when I switch to my preferred one, the "now" screen indicates it's the other one, so I'm not sure what to trust. May be a small thing to some but my preferred station is literally a few hundred yards from my house and especially wind data is important to me.

I live in southern Florida an turbulent weather patterns can pop up almost instantly . Weather Bug has the best UI of many I have tried .. can get all the useful current conditions and weather data at a simple glance . They have updated their radar screen and it is always right on the latest conditions …. Also love the feature where I can check to see what friends around the country are experiencing at a simple push of a button ….Especially down here , the tropical storm window keeps me updated as to storms that might be headed my way …. Bravo Weatherbug 👏👏👏

Yours is one of my oldest apps and still one of my most used. I’ve seen many changes over the years mostly for the better. I’ve waited now for a while for my issues to disappear with a new upgrade. It occurs to me that I may not know how to actually use it correctly. That said, and any advice would be appreciated, here are my issues. First of all, the video titles get cut off before you can see where the video is. Somewhere there is an interesting weather occurrence but who knows where. 😖 The other is the weather cameras are a fast forward time lapse with no way to stop and enjoy a sunset, etc. 😖😖 Please fix and I’ll give you that 4th star.

After having killed the ability to move the home screen cards into an order that suited you, WeatherBug has now restored that functionality. Sometimes I wonder what developers are thinking when they remove customization functionality. Living in Southwest Florida, I don't want to have to hunt down the card with the lightning data when the sky turns black. And air quality may be of importance to some in this area during fire season — so that's when that card may move to the top. Different strokes for different seasons. So, thanks. And all in all, a great, accurate, customizable weather app.

I picked up Weather Bug seven or eight years ago. I used it to track storms in Arizona and New Mexico. I was driving trucks in that area. It worked great. Had more information than I needed but it had what I needed. I decided to take an office job for a government services company and during that period of time I didn’t need so much info so I went back to using the free app that comes with the iPhone. Well, seeing the same four walls every day was driving me nuts so I decided to go back on the road. The free app wasn’t going to cut it. I installed weather bug again and it’s really a lifesaver. The improvements they made over those years really make the app shine. There’s some really valuable information for people like me who travel the roads a great deal. Especially the satellite motion overlays like wind speed, precipitation, temperatures, storm tracker, etc. I’ve driven over 3,000,000 miles without an accident and I believe Weather Bug is an invaluable tool to help me reach 4,000,000 miles. I highly recommend this app.

I have been a WeatherBug user for years and am so glad to see that they have finally updated the elite version. What an update! The interface is much more user friendly! You can scroll down through the main page for a quick glance to all the features and have the ability to reorder those features to suit your viewing preferences. (In future updates, I hope they add the ability to add/delete features.) It's a quick touch to bring up the maps which are greatly improved and one of my personal favorites Spark... a must for living in lightning alley!

I am very pleased with the app and the improve mission it provides. The hourly forecast gives me the opportunity to see if the surprise picnic I have planned for my wife is gonna need an umbrella or find a spot in the shade it’s pinpoint whether is highly accurate when severe storms knowing if there’s going to be hail and damaging winds I couldn’t ask for a better app. The developers have worked hard to bring us a quality and accurate app. So I say Thank you to the developers and staff for rolling our search and easy/user-friendly app in this modern day world.

I’ve been using the original WeatherBug and then the Elite version for years. I’m a weather fanatic and have numerous weather apps. But Weather Bug is always the one I use at least 3-4 times a day. My brother lives in a very small town in Australia but setting up my WeatherBug for his location was a no-brainer. I was amazed to see that WB uses a weather station located a few miles from his home and provides me the same sort of weather info as my own location in the US. If you don’t have WeatherBug, you really won’t know your weather. (And yes, the Elite version is worth it IMHO.)

I’ve been using this for years, I don’t think any weather prediction app can we perfect, because it is, the weather. However, I can look at the radar and see what’s coming. Their long term prediction seems to be better than national news, and right on par with local news. I like the fact that I can quickly look at multiple places and save those places because I have family there or I travel to those places often. Can it get better? Of course, what can’t. Maybe a section for icefishing, telling me how thick the ice should be! Other than that, not bad.

I have had this app for many years but just kept it in a folder. I never really looked at it because it just didn’t seem up to par. I opened it up just a couple of weeks ago and WOW! There have been lots of changes! I actually moved it out of my folder and into the dock for easier access. I also have it in my widgets. I love this app now! I especially love that I can see the pollen/allergy level and what it is. Thank you for the improvements Weather Bug! One thing I would like to see different is the ability to “multi-layer” on the radar.

I enjoy weather bug so much that I didn’t hesitate to pay for the Elite version! I had the opportunity, while I was training in Norman Oklahoma, to go on a guided tour of the home of the Weather Channel. It was very impressive and they mentioned their weather app and I said that I used the Weather Bug app. Oops, not what our guide wanted to hear! I told him that I also had the weather channel app (and it was true) but Weather Bug was usually more accurate than theirs and no matter where I am I can always depend on WB to be more helpful.

I have been using weather bug for years! It has always been accurate and reliable. Recently, here in the DFW area, we had a 2 day warning that we were going to have terrible storms. They closed schools, 100 flights and even some businesses. It was crazy. My weather bug app did not have the same warnings or alerts. I would tell people, I don’t think we will get the storms. I don’t see the storms coming....and I was right. We had a few showers in the middle of the night and nothing else. I will alway go to WeatherBug first!

I had the old version of WeatherBug as well. I have used it to navigate around tornado cells on cross country drives.I have watched hurricanes roll across where I live..the radar map is very accurate.. never any problems. It pinpoints my exact location perfectly in the new version. I really appreciate this app. I am reading that people are having problems; I'm not one of them. This is is the first release of this completely redesigned app., and I'm sure any bugs will be fixed. It's my go to weather app for many years now! Thank you.

I really like this app. It works to get temperature high and low, gives radar, gives what has happened in the past few hours, has a future cast on the radar. I like the videos that show weather happenings. It shows hourly, daily, and 10 day reports. I like that I can put in any place in the the United States and the world to see what the temperature is and will be. I thought we had reached the pinnacle of knowledge in the 1990's. Then the cell phones came out, then the smart phones.

WeatherBug was one of the first apps on my first iPhone back in 2008! I upgraded to the Elite version and use it every day , first thing in the morning. I have tried every other weather app. WeatherBug Elite doesn’t flood me with ads or prod me to upgrade. Being a weather enthusiast, I have a list of favorite places all over the world and often wonder what it’s like today in far away places and WeatherBug is accurate with every one of them even when digging down to details.

I didn't think any weather providers were going to offer elite, or pro, versions of weather apps anymore. Nice to see this one come back! I haven't used WeatherBug for some time now, so I'll have to update this review after I get some more time with it. Initially though, the radar is very quick, and being able to rearrange all of the sections on the main page is great as well. Overall this app has been great, but one thing I'd love to see is the tabs moved to the bottom of the screen.

I have been traveling around the US for several years via RV and by boat. WeatherBug has always been there for us as long as there is a data signal. On the boat, traveling the inland rivers and intracoastal waterways, we have always had accurate weather reporting. Granted, thus is not the only weather tool that we use, but WeatherBug always concurs with the other apps and reports. The moving maps and alerts have kept us aware of heavy weather, winds, freezing, and even tornadoes. This app remains in my online toolkit.

This has been my favorite weather app for a while. It keeps track of cities and towns I care about all over the world and notifies me about severe or unusual weather in all of them. It’s not a mess of videos about weather events I don’t care about. Very thoughtful design. The only anomaly I see is when the 10-day forecast differs from the Hourly forecast. For example, the 10-day shows ‘Partly Cloudy’ whereas the Hourly for the same day shows 50% chance of rain several times throughout the day. I can live with that.

Strongly recommend this weather app. Good for almost everything. Has so many different, important weather variables you can check. Great for those of us in severe thunderstorm/tornado areas. One issue has cropped up only recently with the Canadian wildfires. Greatly appreciate their adding an “air quality” on the alert map. BUT it is exactly the same color as “severe thunderstorm watch” alert. So now we have the two alerts running into each other in southern Wisconsin/northern Illinois and have no idea what’s what. Please fix.

My wife opens my $20 purchase on her iPhone and Weatherbug wants another $20. Touch app support and it takes you to the app. Touch developer website and it takes you to the app. So no family sharing and no support on how to fix. Thanks. Feb 9, 2021 Weatherbug responded they were aware and working on it, a previous update issue. Funny thing. A few days after the install, wife’s weather bug installed out of family sharing. So no issues now and no clue what fixed it. Bumping to 4 stars. Still love weatherbug since before smartphones.

Updated 2019 Review: WeatherBug still rocks! Thanks for adding the ability to fine-tune our alert preferences! You guys are the best!!! 😀 ———— Glad to see WeatherBug' Elite version alive and kicking before iOS 11 would have killed it. Would appreciate the option to turn off or delete sections that are irrelevant and cluttering the interface (e.g., lifestyles, photos, etc.). I miss the simple dark blue and purple backgrounds that were available in the old version, but apart from that, it's a solid update.

I like we Weather Bug mostly. Radar could be better. The hour by hour seem to differ from the ten day daily forecast most too often. I look at the hour by hour to get a better time line in the changing weather. It is one of three weather apps I use and like. Better radar and a few more interface improvements and I would give it a 5 star. One of the apps I use is a local TV station’s app. Very detailed fir our area. They allow me to turn on wind speed and direction better that Weather bug. WB still a very good app.

This is the app I go to for daily and hourly humidity and heat checks. I like the weekly forecast especially when I am trying to figure out what to wear. I also like the way I can set it so that there are parts of it I can see before other parts. For example, putting the humidity and heat index right on the page where I open the app. I use it every day, when, trying to figure out whether to turn on the AC or not as leaving the AC off saves 💰.

Very helpful radar options. I appreciate the new wildfire section. This is a well developed app.

Une belle application complète, précise, amusante et indispensable pour les amatrices et amateurs de l’extérieur !

It has all the information I need. I especially like to keep tabs on what the weather’s doing where my friends and family live. I check the weather in Port Coquitlam, Johannesburg, London, Edmonton, Minneapolis, and Brisbane on a regular basis.

It’s good

Awesome app, love it

Awesome. Love the radar

Of the lot, this is the best.

Our weather bug is frozen. It is stuck on 1 page & will not work .

It's a very useful app with a great user interface. I love it!

Current weather great. Forecasts terrible. Don't know if its just Canadian forecasts or everywhere.

Great!

Works great best out there

A nice update on the interface in the new version

Love the latest update. Wish the weekly forecast could also be in Celsius. Joan in SK

The best weather app out there!!

I think it's one of the best weather apps. Miss hourly and extend weather

I depend on it. Love it

What would make this app the ultimate is to add push notifications like you have on the blackberry app. That is the only thing this app lacks. Would love to see it one day.

Wow what a great app this used to be a piece of junk now it's excellent Canada. Ontario

Very user friendly and accurate. This app contains more weather info than any other. This is one of the oldest weather apps out there and it's backed with years of experience. The weather bug has been around for a long time and I still can't find anything that comes close to it. This app works good in Canada for me. One of the great apps to have.

You can pick Canadian cities just know that radar doesn't work but if you choose an adjacent US city it will (ie Toronto/buffalo or Windsor/Detroit). The radar does work for the paid ver. Also all the people complaining you can adjust mph and F/C: you have to go to Settings, choose Weatherbug. If you require detailed and specific Canadian city data use The Weather Network app which is free and has radar data. Every feature it has works and I love this app.

Today the weather stations around Winnipeg are reporting accurate data. Maybe someone fed the hampster overnight! With accurate data, this is a very nice app, well worth the 99 cents for the deluxe edition, and it rates 5 stars. I will leave my comment from yesterday as a reminder to the weather bug sources to be ever-vigilant about assuring that accurate data is being reported: "Some weatherbug stations appear to report accurate data that agrees with other weather reporting sources, while other weatherbug stations report data that is more like wishful thinking and is completely disconnected from reality. It is a promising app, but there has to be a way for auditing data from reporting stations, and ensuring that corrective action is effected, or take the incorrectly-reporting station off line. There is no way one station should be reporting -2 degrees when a station a few km away is reporting +23 degrees."

Edit June 17. Another update installed and all the problem still exist. I was able to get their direct address but never got a response. I get the feeling from the lack of a real response that they’re just hoping I will go away. Almost 4 months now and counting. Previous Edit: looking at the response apparently all the developer is doing is cutting and pasting a generic response instead of actually reading the review. As I mentioned in my original review they have not updated their app to support the fact that not all of us use the default mail app so there is no way to send them additional information or diagnostic data. If you are a visually impaired person I strongly advise you to use any other app other than this one. My original review is left below. The most recent update to weather bug that came out a couple of weeks ago has completely broken voiceover functionality for the visually impaired on the Now page of the app. This means information such as current conditions, air quality, lightning, wind speed direction, and much more is no longer available to those who rely on a screen reader due to being visually impaired. This is a definite case of newer is not better. Hoping this is an issue that can be resolved. To add insult to injury the send feedback portion of their app has not been updated to support the fact that iOS 14 allows you to select an email option other than the default mail app. I have used weather bug as my go to for over a decade so hoping this problem gets fixed sooner rather than later.

Forecast isn’t necessarily accurate. Could be better Your iPhone and iPad widget needs to be fixed! The real feel temperature does not show the real feel temperature that it shows in the app. It shows the temperature as the real feel. No support at all for complications like temp, humidity, rain, air quality, pollen, etc. Currently offers bare bones support for watch complications on a few faces. Be nice if they would use the air quality monitoring system that is actually accurate. Wish they would integrate Purple Air into their system instead of Ambee. None of the weather alerts work. The only way you get an alert is if you open the app. Pointless. You don’t get alerts in the background. Sometimes the maps just shows a blank screen. Also why not make the map animate when opening so I don’t have to click on the play button? The whole point of me looking at the map is to look at the radar. Just make the radar automatically play. Be nice if someone actually did a QA check before publishing updates! Kind of sorry I paid for this…

I’ve used WeatherBug Elite and it’s earlier versions for years. For some time now, I’ve been noticing that it totally missed the forecast. Since I was a longtime user, I just put up with the inaccuracies. Friends have used other, better apps and would often know better what the weather would do. Today was the final straw. The hourly presentation showed 0% throughout the day. No hint of precipitation anywhere the WeatherBug forecast. None. Of course it was pouring rain with lightning, thunder and pea-sized hail. No hint at all from WeatherBug. NONE!!! I was getting significant weather warnings from other apps, but WeatherBug was showing sunny with 0% chance of precip. If this was just one isolated incident, I’d blow it off. But this is the norm for WeatherBug. I gave it two stars because the radar presentation is actually quite good. I spent 30+ years as a radar air traffic controller, so I know what I’m talking about. I’m also a commercially rated pilot. I have formal education and training in meteorology. If the radar presentation wasn’t good on this app I’d permanently delete it.

Weatherbug use to be a very useful daily info app in my life, with reliable weather alerts that I depended upon. Now it serves as an uncontrollable daily alarm clock to wake us up and numb us to weather alerts that we depended upon, such as tornado warnings. Every morning I get a Pollen Alert, through the same push alert mechanism used by real weather alerts. There is no way to turn this off except by disabling all push alerts (which would include disabling tornado warnings). Presuming this might have been some insidious scheme by an allergy medication sponsor, I deleted Weatherbug app and spent $10 to get the non-advertiser sponsored "Elite" version. Nope, the daily Pollen Alerts occur there too, also with no way to stop it. Pollen alerts occur even on days when there is nothing but rain for the day. I must now consider abandoning this weather app altogether. Humans need to sleep. I have written the developer three times, and found that to be a little better than broadcasting radio transmissions into a black hole.

I have used WeatherBug ever since Automated Weather Source first developed it. Unfortunately something has changed and I find the quality of its actual and forecast weather to have declined, especially in the last year. Yesterday was the perfect example with WeatherBug showing 0% chance of rain for every hour of the day, while we experienced constant rain showers instead. What I didn’t know was that AWS sold WeatherBug to Ground Truth (xAd). Their website describes themselves as the “largest location-based advertising platform in the world”. Yep their business model is all about selling your phone’s location information (even when the app is closed) - not providing you excellent/accurate weather forecasting. Sad because AWS had a great weather model, collaborating with educational institutions and local communities such as my own. So if your business/occupation is like mine and you require accurate weather forecasting, maybe it is time to look elsewhere.

This used to be a great app, but it has become extremely unreliable. The information is often just plain wrong. For example, the last few days have been rather windy but the hourly forecast has never showed winds over 3 mph, which is clearly wrong. (Oddly the daily forecasts have shown correct wind speeds.) The current temperature is often wrong, sometimes by as much as 20 degrees. (Location is set correctly and other data are updating, but the app seems to randomly fail to update current temp.) There are other problems too. The weather alerts map is so bad it is actually dangerous. It uses a color scheme that can make it impossible to see the most severe warnings. For example, a large solid block of color for a flood watch might completely obscure a faint outline of a tornado WARNING. It makes it very difficult to see what alerts are actually active to the point of making the map almost useless (or worse).

I've used WeatherBug for years and have always enjoyed the app but several things don't work in Alaska. I just purchased the elite version thinking there was more functionality but it was a waste of money. In Alaska the lightning reporting feature (Spark) doesn't work. The observation section doesn't work. The UV, Pollen, and live cameras don't work. And several of the radar layers don't work. Also the only alerts I can get are watches and warnings. I cannot get special weather notices or advisories which are very important as they usually contain life threatening information when traveling in Alaska. I would also like to see the moon rise and set times as a nice feature. To really add pain to this purchase is that I get ALL of this information on the Free Weather Underground app. I just don't like the way they have it laid out.

July, 2020: Still a zero-star app in my opinion. I like to try it out every few months to see if it has improved. Nope, still zero. Another update: Current temperature is 63 degrees at 7pm. Hourly forecast shows temperature for 7pm should be 78 degrees. This is a 15 degree difference. How can this app supposedly be so accurate for other reviewers and yet be so inaccurate for my area for the last several months? I find myself looking at the forecast in this app just to get a laugh. Update: The forecast for Baton Rouge, Louisiana has in recent weeks been off. It is now way off, calling for freezing temperatures. I have contacted you recently about this and you give me a canned “thanks for your concern and support “ reply, yet nothing changes. Your forecast is so inaccurate and unreliable, it is both comical and pathetic. Please fix your forecast for my area OR REFUND MY SUBSCRIPTION. This app is totally unusable for me. Original review: Current and forecasted temperatures are off by 10 to 20°. Hourly rain forecast is usually zero percent for the next several hours until it starts raining and then it magically changes to 90 or 100%. I have emailed the support staff and receive the generic thank you blah blah blah. I am surprised to see other reviewers reporting accurate temperatures and forecasts. Two stars for nice map and lightning strike data.

I have used Weather Bug Elite for many moons but the app seems to be languishing and falling behind others. A big benefit has always been the ability to create an account and sync saved locations across multiple devices like iPhone & iPad. With the latest iOS 26 and iPhone 17, the login process is broken. It doesn’t work and locations will not save. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. I then noticed that the same problem was duplicated with updated iOS on my iPad. You clearly know about some of these bugs based on other reviews but haven’t updated in weeks. I have had to stop using this app in favor of Apple Weather and AccuWeather. I won’t try your app again until you update the app and fix all the bugs you have especially with logins. Review set at 1 star until then.

MARCH 2025- Give me the choice to move Current Highlights. It’s useless in my opinion. Give ME the choices that I WANT. Previous- It’s still there. Today it’s for the pollen count. Yesterday it was for rain. All of this info is on this app and can be easily found. But it’s about key clicks and drama, right? Please refrain from your canned response. I use Apple wx more now because of your sensationalism. Learn that it’s a WARNING sign, remove the drama and I’ll give it five stars. My 2021 review- Red triangle signify danger or warning. Why does it now include daily precipitation????? Really. Precip is what the forecast is for. That's worse than the pollen alert. About the time you get this app nearly perfect you over think and mess it up. Don't do like the media with sensationalism. Please.

I am a medical provider that relies on the most up to date information for the safety of my patientS, athletes and by standards. This is the closest app to saving lives. I appreciate the easiness of the app interface. But information usually gets backlogged or missed when trying to update on the most up to date radar possible even with the elite app. I guess I will need to purchase a whole weather system to save lives in the future. Also, when trying to read articles, the story lines overlap and are impossible to read. I would go and choose another app if you are advising patrons and patients if their safety. If you are a civilian then this would be a great app otherwise!

I have had this app for 10 years. It has turned into a total joke. Out of 365 days in a year, about 260 days are 40 to 50% chance of rain. Is it going to rain or not! When I first downloaded the app, I loved it. Here’s another beautiful thing. My wife has the free app and I have the elite app. The forecast is always different on both. If you pay for the elite app, do you get different weather? Maybe I should pay more. How much to get the weather I want? The only thing this app is good for is checking the radar to see what is going to hit you in the next 5 minutes. How about actually making a weather prediction? Oh, and thanks for the pollen alerts. God forbid we go out there unprotected from “pollen”.

I have always liked this app. However, this app has been sold to a web marketing/ advertising platform company. In reviewing their privacy policy they state they track your personal data and track your location even when the app is not being used. They state this data is sold to marketers and is correlated with any other data they can glean about you from multiple other sources. Spying doesn’t get much more prolific than this. Though I have used this app for many years, it’s time to find a new weather service that doesn’t abuse the privacy of its customers. I get wanting to make a profit, but this amount of spying / data collection is excessive.

I have been a devoted user through thick and thin with WeatherBug Elite from the very start a decade ago. I ALWAYS rated it 5 stars and it was my most-used 3rd Party app. I loved that I could quickly check the temps in other cities with a quick swipe to the left. But I hated it when they changed how a swipe to the left instead takes you to the next page of info for the city you’re currently on. That was several months ago. But they still allowed a swipe left on the name of the city to take you to the next city. Now, even that has been taken away and replaced by taking you to the list of cities. Hate it. Time to start using Weather Underground more.

First, if you click on local temps, the digital number often overlaps the name of the city. So, it is impossible to read the number. Second, I don’t suppose the developer ever heard of the ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act). I happen to be red-green color blind. So, all the pretty displays of temperature, or whatever, with colors mean zilch to those of us who are RG color blind. I seriously doubt my paying $9.99 for the elite version is giving me much more info than the free one. Mr. Developer, you need to get with it. If you are going to charge me for an app, it needs to be worthwhile. You have some ways to go yet on your elite version of Weatherbug.

Loved this app for quite awhile. Recently I started getting notifications saying that it was going to “rain in 15 minutes”. I live in the Pacific Northwest…it’s going to rain in 15 minutes for half the year around here! I wouldn’t mind the update if I could control what I am being notified about. I have found the past notifications for wind storms or thunder storms useful…but rain…around here? As the app is currently designed, all notifications are either on or off, no ability to customize what you are being notified about. Please fix!

Been using this app for years. Was so impressed by the old version that I forked over some cash for the paid version. After waiting forever for an update, I now wish they left it alone. The interface is a confusing mess of useless info. Whereas the old version showed everything clearly as soon as the app was opened, now you have to scroll through endless graphics just to get to dew point, humidity, etc. Plus, the current readings no longer seem to be accurate. They update way too slowly. I check them against other apps and the readings are nowhere close. Hate to say it, but I'm finally giving up on this app

If an app advertises a feature that doesn't work in Canada, then this should then before the app is published on the Canadian app store the description should be updated to reflect this. I blame apple for not ensuring this happens!

Turns out the free version has more functionality than this paid version in Canada. Very disappointing.

But if you are going to show weather maps then use some that actually show Canada in better detail than North Am.

The description of this app is lies!! maps do not work in canada - do not waste your money - get TWN for free instead. i want my money back!!

Crashes like a DC10.

I think this app is for the US only it does not give you any thing but mph. They say you can change to km. but it does not. They say the paid version does more then the free version but as far as I can see it does not.I do like the map part but the video and camera only works in the Us. I guess because it does not here and I am only 5 k from the Us

What a piece of crap. Good thing it was only 99 cents. the free version is better

C'est décevant de constater que la version pour HTC fonctionne beaucoup mieux que celle du iPhone, du moins au Canada.

I previously reviewed this program as accurate for current conditions for Edmonton, but that is no longer the case- it's as though Alberta no longer on the map. There are no advantages to purchasing the Elite version, except losing the small ad found on the free version. Save your money this is a bad app.

One think missing no hourly forecasts. Salo

The design is rather sloppy looking now, and I have to dig for much of the information that was previously at the top level.

I just paid $1.99 to find out that I cannot get hourly forecasts for my home of Toronto Ontario! This is highly unusual fo a paid weather App! Amy little American town can though?????

For the last week the dates are incorrect.

No different than free version. Keep ur money

No video or pics for Canada.....and keeps crashing as soon as you load the video for the US sites.....

The Iphone app is worse than the built in weather app. Nothing works. The Blackberry app is fantastic AND FREE. I should have been paid to get this for the Iphone. I think they owe me money back !!!!!!

First, the description is misleading, animated radar images are not available, they even admit this in their in app FAQs. Second the free BB version is better, i was hoping weather alerts to be pushed in my iPhone but that function is not available either. Seriously, stick with the free and better Weather Network app.

First of all, I really like the free version of this app. It showed true live weather from places not to far from my place. But I was very disapointed of this app, I thought with all the features I was getting a good deal but none of them work and I can't even find the places I had before. The only thing this app has over the other is ad-free. I will keep using the free app but I don't think I'll be using this one unless something changes.

It appears since some change in Bing maps the WeatherBug app is truly that ... a BUG. Worked OK til 3 days ago. Customer service unresponsive to repeated requests on issue. Well...a week or so later developers have finally replied and admitted that this is now a known issue and that their engineers (a guy in pyjamas working between bowls of cereal?) are working on it; yet there is still no update to fix this bug. Don't buy it until this bug is fixed!
