Having used this app for some time, I find that it's pretty accurate on the whole. The layout provides a good summary of elements such as temperature, wind speed and precipitation, hour by hour. It's basically tied to one location but others can be selected for comparison and wider-scale mapping is now available. For everyday use, the app is simple and convenient.

Aug '26 Update - BBC never replies. Unfortunately I've now downgraded this app to 2 stars. Accuracy is worse than 2-3 years ago and the basic workings have changed. The last cities I add should be at the end of the list. A free weather app with no adverts. Simple to use. Main issues are in summer they say 'tonight' starts from 6pm, when it's still daylight at 9pm and it's been a lovely summer day! And it thinks I'm in a different village to where I really am. That's real poor. Any replies BBC?

So slow to load and glitchy lately. I don't know what is going on but myself and a a few gardening friends noticed how it takes so long to load , that circle keeps rotating as we wait! Not ideal if you need a quick look to check. The accuracy is pretty poor the last few weeks, forecasting rain and it ends up sunny ( not a bad mistake 😅) but I kept putting off the watering! There is a problem with stored locations. The overall user interface changed and the old version was much more intuitive
