I have always used accuweather and now I can honestly say I WILL NEVER USE IT AGAIN! Accuweather deserves 0 stars. Why so many ads? You can't even see the weather. People, don't waste your time. Accuweather is garbage.
Heavy rains for 1hour, but radar shows no clouds. Their maps don't coinside with the radar. Useless.
Am from Kenya a place called Chiakariga Tharaka Nithi county Kenya.
On your app it's showing chiokarige kindly rectify that
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.
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.
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!
They want to prevent their source for weather information (The government) from providing weather information to the public for free.
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.
Its saying cloudy atm on the app with a temp of 74 lmfao yea ok its sunny as hell and 83 and humid af listening to this app bout blew out my compressor in my hvac in april oh its gonna be 70 all night wake up to my exterior thermostat 58 had to rush to turn ac off.
They are constantly wrong. I've been checking everyday for the past few days about snow and there was nothing and yesterday it started snowing. Today it poured snow... still said no mention of snow. By brother (in CO) left early to get to Estes Park where it was supposed to be snowing all day and had severe warnings. He got there and roads were nice and clear.
Time after time after time, they have failed to predict storms, failed to predict frost, or predicted frost when it remained warm. And this isn't days ahead predictions, either. These bad predictions happen repeatedly just 6 hours before the weather event. I've had more success looking at the sky then using those hokie almanacs that were popular decades ago.
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!
This is used to be one of my favorite apps, but it's become completely unreliable, to the point of being totally useless. This seems to be pretty recent, because the change has been very dramatic. I used to tell my friends how accurate the forecasts were to within minutes, not Accuweather tells me there will be no rain for the next hour during a downpour or vice versa. And forecasting for the next few hours is like a complete crap shoot. So sad to see what's become of this app.
Always wrong it should be something who correct information... you should improve because people have temperature metered in car don't forget
Unusable. A flurry of ads that pop up in your way so you cannot avoid clicking on them by accident.it is impossible to detect the info that you are looking for through the full screen unrelenting pop ups and moving ads. Absurd... wheres the weather?
I registered to use Windows VPS services and immediately was charged with $12 for service which was still not working. Turns out I had to provide them my phone number which is weird way to confirm your identity, but I did it. Well they supposed to send me OTP which have never arrived of course and my dollars were gone anyway.
I started chat with some David who wasn't able to send OTP and whole bunch of support team members were not able too. I spend 2 hours chasing the stupid OTP which again never arrived.
I asked for my money back and they returned them pretty soon.
However, if your service requires OTP why don't you check where it OTP could be sent? I am not living in US and I assume when you take my personal information you would deliver something. Nothing.
Don't even bother with them its just waste of time.
Funny part in all of this it they send you link to write a review for their services and all of their links (5) refuse to publish the review. :D
It's such a pathetic app. Showing thunderstorm on my app whereas it's sunny outside, n wen it shows no probability of rain it's raining since hours. The most annoying forecasting no doubt after IMD itself. Better shut off then giving totally unreliable forecasts.
I have never been so disappointed in a website that I used to consider to be completely safe to visit. What used to be my "go to" site whenever the weather would take a turn for the worst, is now a website that I will avoid. A recent visit to Accuweather's Doppler radar area of their website was so overrun by advertisements, including one that indicated that I needed to add a new extension to my Chrome settings before I could view the radar. This extension turns out to be harmful malware. So, I'm done with Accuweather. They obviously don't care about keeping their website safe.
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.
