User Reviews for Yahoo Weather

What could make a difference!!??

Yahoo weather is my go-to; Numero uno. Next the NYTimes and puzzles and news and so on. For me, I always look at the weather with attendant moon, tides, air and natural phenomena. However, the Covid 19 has taken precedent to everything else and I sincerely am thankful for your daily updates on relative vital statistics on the county level, the state and America. However, there is a glaring omission that I feel could be easily corrected, which would be helpful and illustrate and underline the message. POPULATION NUMBERS and % I have a list of the population of each state and the county where my family and my friends live.l This gives me personally a more conclusive look at the concern I have logistically for family, for friends, for my world as a whole. I even have the populations of most of Europe, which inform me as to how California stacks up. The message is, that Pam Dixon is not unique or very different in many ways from millions of others who are probably writing in to tell you how they cherish their Yahoo Weather News, yet, there is something missing!! Thank you for being so ‘present’ for all of us, for we are all in this together. Happy Holidays! Pamela DixonThis never got ‘sent’. ?And now phone won’t ‘flip’ to other weather locations I have checked. Maybe a menu would work if the phone is dumbing down?!

Disappointed

I’ve used this weather app for years, but haven’t reviewed it until now. What I’m writing about isn’t new — it’s just very frustrating. I depend on weather forecasts because, due to vision problems, I can’t drive in the rain. So tomorrow — after HOURS of searching for an appointment — I have my Covid vaccination. But will it RAIN? Checking Yahoo Weather, WHO KNOWS?The Tuesday symbol shows clouds & rain, but the hourly forecast shows part clouds/part fair or sunny every hour, night & day! NO rain!WHY is that? It obviously looks like a mistake, but if so, Yahoo doesn’t ever check its own app, because I’ve never seen this kind of thing corrected.I CAN — and WILL — check other sources, but why should that be necessary?This is a free app, and it is said “You get what you pay for!” But I really don’t understand why SOMEone at Yahoo isn’t looking at Boise’s weather forecast and saying “What the heck!?! Is it going to rain tomorrow or not?” 🤔

Sunny when cloudy

I have used this Yahoo weather app on and off for the past few years, and today will likely be the last day I use it. I woke up to cloudy and cool weather, so I checked the Yahoo weather app to see when the possibility of rain will be. Upon opening the app, it said “sunny”, with a clear bright sun icon. What? So I thought oh, the app probably didn’t have a chance to update, so I checked another weather app, immediately the other app showed cloudy skies with possible rain in two hours. This “other app” also showed the exact temperature that my home thermometer was showing too. So I went back to the Yahoo weather app...doink! It still showed the weather in my area as sunny with not even a cloud underneath, and it also showed a much higher temp than what I showed in our area. This is typical of the non-accurate Yahoo app that has disappointed me as in many times past. There are many other weather apps out there that I have found to be more accurate than this Yahoo app. Maybe for other people it is different than what I stated, but for me it has proven to be mostly inaccurate.

Used to be 5 star

Why exactly did you change the UI? There are a few issues here. The bars for each hour of the day... time is continuous and the graph for this should be as well. Nobody thinks about weather at the top of the hour. That area also used to integrate a clean view of precipitation probability. It’s lost. The hours of the day in each bar took me a minute or so to figure out. They are single numbers and not in time format. It is not intuitive. Also, the new “colorful” cloud and sun graphics in next section lack contrast and are seemingly bad for the color blind. This entire refresh seems to be design over function. You used to be five star and the only solid app yahoo had but now I’ll have to find another weather app. Remember when the app launched and the kudos it got? It was because the UI. You just erased that advantage and that is all that’s different from app to app. IMO, with this release you’ll lose some of your base (at least me) and the design lacks function so you’ll lose out to other apps for new installs. Remember when snap unnecessarily changed their design and nose dived? You were over 4 stars and your new designer might have harpooned you.

Detailed and accurate

I have not tried a whole lot of weather apps, but I did read about several before choosing one. The reason I tried this one is first, that it is free. Second, it is detailed with many options and as far as I can tell, seems very accurate.I love all the little animations that it adds for effect. Like showing the windmills spinning according to how fast the wind is blowing, and showing the sun moving across until it hits the area that it currently is at in the sky. There is a map of the area at the bottom that has several options for viewing such a satellite and radar. You can add and delete cities and move them around as you like. It gives a 10 day forecast. And a beautiful picture to go with each city.For a free app, this one is very impressive. And the advertisements that are inevitable with a free app, are non-intrusive. They show up as a section of their own as you scroll down through the various sections of each city. So you simply scroll past them and it is no big deal. They do not interfere with viewing.

Why the changes?

The older version icons were easier to read at a glance. I am not sure what the gray figure is to the upper left of the sun/cloud icon. The app is not as attractive and not as easy to read as the older version. Childish looking is what I think when looking at the app now. Why not work on the overall accuracy of the weather information?? Also, please take off the covid information. Your job is to give accurate weather information. Please work on that in the app. We are already reminded most of our day about pandemic. I use your app to try and find a time to go outside and have an escape for the situation ,since for months that was all we were able to do here. Please take it off...stick to the weather. Sorry guys I did the update and still disappointed in the “ childish” look of the app. Good thing there are other choices.

The latest redesign is not good.

The latest redesign has made the app less useful for me. It’s showing me less information in less space. It used to use the whole screen to present more data, now it uses half the screen, in a centered column, to show less information. You have to scroll quite a bit to see everything. In some parts, the text scrolls past the window it’s in and you can’t scroll to see the rest. Without the animations this app is far less “delightful.” I think the App Store editors should reconsider their praise for the design of this app.Update: they’ve expanded the “centered column” of info to fill the whole screen, so there’s less scrolling and info seems to fit in each frame. I still miss the rain graph which showed precipitation as a graph under the temperature graph. Now I have to read the percentages and process that info. A minor complaint, I understand, but “at-a-glance” info was the appeal of the app for me.

Aug 2020: what was your design team thinking?

What happened in your update? Where’s the data, the Coronavirus stats??! This looks like a kid’s book now. Ridiculous changes and design decisions in this update. It’s bulkier and gives less info at a glance. What a disappointment. This used to be my go to app. I loved its concise data, small hourly view of the weather, and general appearance. There’s little left from the original version to keep me returning now. I have no idea why you would ruin a good layout and design. Your design team missed what people want. With the most recent update this month (August 2020) The weather icons are chunky, and fill up the screen. No appeal whatsoever. The original app was beautiful to look at with local photos that changed about every 30 seconds, pulled in from Flickr. They gave a personal view of the area with a stunning overall effect. I loved checking the weather just to see the photos in an area, too. That changed a few years ago. Now I rarely see any local photos and the ones selected rarely change or have nothing to do with the region. Often they weren’t even taken in the same country. I have no idea why each update has become less appealing. What were you thinking?Two stars. Downgraded from five. I think the weather is about as accurate as it used to be. But I can get that elsewhere.

Yahoo is great from start to finish and user friendly!

Yahoo is my go-to, quite compulsively I confess! There’s plenty of information in what I find is an attractive and whimsical layout. The pictures are beautiful, often stunning so, it adds to the enjoyment. I’ve been an outdoor woman for all of my life so, I live by it and delight in weather experiences during each wonderful season. I would say that weather is one of my hobbies so, apart from all the fascinating stories I enjoy reading, as well as, research, Yahoo! is the perfect little tool in my toolbox! I have it set to various countries because I like to check on weather happenings in the world and I diligently refer to Boston’s forecast in advance, as well as, the countries I’m traveling to and of course when I’m there. All in all, I can say that I’m obsessed with weather and in awe of Mother Nature so, Yahoo! is the best. I love getting updates too! I always recommend Yahoo!

Why did the age rating change?

Today I updated the app, and when I went to check the weather I couldn't find my app all of a sudden. I searched for the app in the App Store. Once I found it the download button said open. I clicked on the download button (that said open) and a message popped up on my screen. It said that I cannot use this app because of the age restrictions. I'm pretty sure this is because of my data plan. (It's one of the child ones.) I LOVED this app so much to begin with! I found the pictures to be beautiful and the weather forecast to be (decently) reliable. If there is anyone the age rating could be changed that would be amazing but I'd also understand if that's not possible! I'm still pretty confused why the age rating went up to a shocking 17+! It said it was for unrestricted web access, which is even more confusing. I will be giving this app three stars. The first star I took off is because the app only worked on WiFi which was really annoying because I'd use it in the car a lot to see how I should lighten my load. And I'm taking the other star off because when you make an app it should be usable for everyone, not just those who have data plans that are for over eighteen. I'm very disappointed that this age rating occurred. Overall though this was one of the very best apps I had on my phone, and I recommend it to my friends and family 24/7.
