Accuweather has a rating of 1.5 stars from 158 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about Accuweather most frequently mention pop ups, hourly forecast, and many ads problems. Accuweather ranks 53rd among Weather sites.
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.
Don't use this app. I've tested it in my area and it's so far off is disgusting. They have more errors than any other plat form I use. An example AccuWeather says it was 40 degrees my thermometer read 30, new car read 30, electronic thermometer at 30 as well. Anyone taking a trip, use a different weather app, this one will get you in a life and death situation! DONT USE!

Forcasts seem to be fairly accurate. But OMG the adds are ridiculous. I get it, its a free app and they need to make a buck. But seriously it is over kill. Sad they do this.
According to Accuweather, a thunderstorm that has been over my property is supposed to be several miles away. Yet, it's still overhead, with lightning flashing everywhere. This is a frequent problem with their website. There have even been occasions when their map shows no storm activity within 100 miles, while a large thunderstorm is on top of our area. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. Trust them at your own peril. So much for claimed accuracy. Shame!
Sh*tty app run by a sh*tty human being. Lifetime Premium account purchased years ago no longer works, premium features are blocked behind a new 'pay wall' that I would have to purchase, or 're-purchase'. Apparently the Accuweather CEO/Owner needs to look up the definition of 'lifetime'.
There are better app options, virtually any one of them would be better than this.
Good luck Accuweather, good luck at life!
So most of the fetuses are blocked by premium and as you can see in the video that is free on the weather app on apple and even weather channel without their payed version. (If they have one) And they delayed there emergency alert so much that the iPhone alert (this is put after a eas broadcast on tv) is there before the apps alert (of course you pay to get the alert faster) and most reviews on the App Store are fake made from AccuWeather (just a speculation but seeing how bad it is, is why I say this). When you pay it's not worth it you get 5 new things to see that you could see on other apps without paying. There live tv (current time in Atlanta for me) says that there is an ef3 or higher but most others say it's only a very weak ef1 or 0 which make this unacceptable because this could make people over react or under react costing lives. And to put the cherry on top they are trying to block the National weather service from giving you coverage for the weather. I wish I could give this app 0 stars or even negative cause I could go on and on about how bad this is.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t download this stupid app
Supposed to rain all week all-day all night. For these sophisticated weather machines sure are wrong alot.
Trying to get little bits of information thru all the God damn ads. Is frustrating, give us a break or just shut down. Who ever runs this site is a joke.

Don't trust the temperature or humidity forecasts
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!
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.
I've relied on AccuWeather for many years, and find them to be mostly accurate.
But I've now uninstalled the app due to the aggressive ads.
They used to have small ads at the bottom of the screen, but now you are not allowed to see all of your forecast without being forced to go to their ad to upgrade.
I'm done with the
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.
Tip for consumers:
Move onto a more reliable weather site.
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
I just uninstalled this app. What an Enterprise?They just block the daily view with their ad to upgrade to premium version. You cannot see anything forecast after 7pm. We should all abandon their free app. There are a lot of other free weather app out there to choose from.
I'm a casual weather bug and monitor NWS forecast and several others. AccuWeather is awful, I see day after day significant missed forecast of temperature, and rain probability for my local area.
I am sitting here on a clear day without any rain. The radar for Accuweather indicates that no only is it raining, but there is a severe thunderstorm going on. Nope. Not happening.
This is typical for InAccuweather. I know forecasting is hardly an exact science, but even their radar is wrong.
Paid for a lifetime premium subscription awhile back. Now with their new "premium+" subscription, they have actually TAKEN AWAY benefits of the lifetime premium I bought. Now there are more adds despite my premium, can't view hourly forecast beyond a few hours, and more. This is very unethical. I would say it's fraudulent but we live in America where there is no such thing as fraud, just profits. Good work guys, you're going to see everyone leave.
I just started using Apple Weather built-in app on my iphone instead. It has a low rating because it used to be not great, but it's much better now. No ads, great hourly forecast, and very fast.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON ACCUWEATHER, they are bunch of creepy fraudsters. There are other apps that are completely free and much, much better. Accuweather should be ashamed.
Tip for consumers:
Don't bother.
Always wrong it should be something who correct information... you should improve because people have temperature metered in car don't forget
My grass is dying because of the inaccuracy of this service. I spent 3 years intensely laboring to dig up and redo my entire yard and invest in growing all new grass. However, I do my best to conserve water due to cost and rely on rain when I can. Started using accuweather this year and they are nearly always wrong. For example, at 8am they'd provide an 80% chance of rain during the afternoon, so I wouldn't turn on the sprinklers in the morning. By noon, when I check the radar, there's no rain in the area, there's blazing hot sun, and the chance of rain is down to 10%. This happens almost every time there's a supposed chance of rain for my specific area. My grass has dried out in the summer sun and I now have to spend more money to fix my yard again. I'd love to type a few curse words, but then my review won't get posted. But that's how I feel about "accu"weather.
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.
Wintercast predicted 12 to18 inches of snow for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We'll, today is Thursday. We got maybe 3 inches and wintercast still says 12 to 18. For crying out loud you guys, fix it already! You just look like you really don't know what you're doing.
I love this app but very disappointed that you now can only keep 5 towns or cities on the app whereas previously one could keep a larger number. We travel a lot to different places so to having to keep on entering towns and cities over and over again is a pain.
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.
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.
