★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Inconsistent..at times totally different from BBC local forecasts on TV..which should one believe..also very different from the Met Office app..so not very reliable..

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

reliable good

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to use. I like the fact that favourite locations can be registered and easily accessed just by swiping.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

App okay but most times forecast is wrong and always shows worst case scenario. One of hour of rain is shown as a wet day. Why willl the app not allow me to remove locations.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
