Pros and cons of Weather 2x app for iPhone and iPad

Weather 2x app good for

I really like this app but I keep getting an alert that the developer of this app needs to update it or it says it will slow down my IPhone. Please update this app. Thanks

Great app visually. Makes wonderful use of the retina display. Very easy to navigate. Would be 5 stars if it showed current weather with wind chill factor. Very important in colder areas. Have noticed that sometimes the temperature is slightly off from local forecasts.

Amazing weather app!! What more do I need to say? Its rated number 1 for a reason...

I just love this app. I have tried many and ditched them all - even the ones I paid for. Great work.

Not finding terrible inaccuracies so far, but weather stations are in various places in any region so some vagaries can be expected. Not in a "delete, delete, delete" mood yet, anyway!!

but i wish the detailed forecast on the right had text descriptors. really is a lovely and functional app though!

Some bad moments

For the past week my app has suddenly stopped updating. It keeps giving me an error message that it cannot refresh and to check my connection to Internet. I used to love this app up until now

This was my favorite weather app, but apparently it is now broken and has quit updating the weather since 1 August. Too bad.

Not the good temperatures : Says 26degree C instead of an alarming 39degree C in France

Very poor. The app was unable to add any cities due to a "connection issue". My connection is working perfectly, thank you, and other weather apps work fine. Thus I was unable to go any further than the blank opening screen. No way to troubleshoot the weather service connection, and no alternatives. A complete waste of money. Avoid!!

it is the worst. i look outside, it has 6 degrees celsius and the sun is shining, so i start the app to check forecast. an it says, that it was snowing right now, it had -1 degrees and wimould be snowing all day. please, how can you be off so far? it happened more than once.

The app is fine!! Nevertheless, after last update it stopped working
