Weather Apps

The new Met Office app is worse in basically every respect.
Can't stand the BBC one, it is so pessimistic, if there might be a drop of rain it shows a rainy hour/day.
Loads of comments on their fb page about it.
Hopefully somehow they will see sense and revise it.
 
I liked met office when you could see the wind speed, the temperature a feels like temperature and the rain % all on the same page, now you have to go searching. If anyone can suggest anything more user friendly I’d be interested as I check mine multiple times per day 🤣
 
Another who hates the new met office site and sent them a damning review that also may have suggested it was designed by a toddler

Thanks for all the app recommendations to try out

I’m not sure what you’re not seeing, or rather maybe what I am seeing is different, but when I open the new app the temperature, general overview (eg. Light showers) feels like, rain percentage and wind gusts are all at the very top and the first thing I see

I’ve just had a proper look and so they are! 😳 It’s been a busy day! 🙈The writing is fairly small though.
 
So happy this thread was started - I thought it was just me but now feel validated 😂

I'm having trouble reverting the app back to the old version - wondering if its because I'm an iPhone user? I've found the feedback option (which I have left....) but no options to revert to old version that I can find. Any tips?
 
Checked in to see if anyone had explained how to get back to the old-look MetOffice app... then as I couldn't see it, I (took a deep breath and) had a better look myself.

I can't find the old view, but I can find much more useable info that's much more like it. Scroll down past the weather map, and tap on the box that says "Wind: next hour" - then you get to a screen with the hour-by-hour wind info. Top right of that screen, if you click "Change" you can then choose Temperature, Rain etc and get the hour-by-hour, including Feels Like temps. Seems to have just added another step to the 'what was wrong with it before?' process... but at least it's there.

WeatherRadar is our go to, it seems accurate practically to the minute! I like that you can look for rain or wind or temperatures separately, and that it pinpoints where you are on the weather map. Excellent app.

I second WeatherRadar. It's the one I tell everyone about. You can look out of the window and usually the weather on the app is what's happening outside.
