Team review

" Real-time weather information. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 4.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (6 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Negative review What's wrong by anonym
Plenty of problems with this widget! My weekend forecast is stuck on Thursday through Monday yet it's Tuesday!? Tried updating, didn't help tried to re-install, didn't help.

Every time I try to use some game pops up and won't let me close it out. I've tried uninstalling and 're installing and still doing it!!! NOT HAPPY 1/5
Positive review Really Neat! by anonym
I'm giving it a 5 because it does look GOOD and its resizable. But I wished it was more customizable. It doesn't seem to be compatible with Weatherbug Elite. 5/5
Negative review Anyone rating this crap above three stars is an idiot. by anonym

Negative review Winter advisory but 0% chance? by anonym
Come on. This is basic stuff. 3rd time same mix up in 2 weeks. 1/5
Negative review Meh by anonym
Won't let me open up the widget. Just tells me to open my widget menu and drag it to my home screen. Um. I'm TRYING to open it from my home screen folks! Will delete widget. Will keep app though. 1/5
Negative review Doesn't work on my phone by anonym
Doesn't work on Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL 2/5

Widget doesn't open the updated weatherbug app, and does not update. No customization 1/5
Positive review Craig by anonym
The upgrade took away my paid version I would like to have a refund on my paid version or upgrade me to where there is no ads on my weather bug because that is what I paid for 4/5
Negative review WIDGET Works inconsistently, WEATHERBUG IS GREAT! by anonym
Just installed it again, doesn't open dialog box to settings for the widget! Can't change the "home" location after I changed it. Installed & un-installed multiple times & trying it again to see if I can get it to load location again. USED TO WORK VERY WELL. On the same phone. 1/5
Negative review Needs to load faster by anonym
Sometimes it won't load at all. Clean up the UI please 2/5
Negative review by anonym
I love the weather bug app but this widget got problem, when I select the 4*1 widget and set it to my screen it all very good until sometime later the time was as it is, it is not updating the clock time, pls fix this issue... 2/5
Positive review Great UI, but 5-day loc'n sometimes off by anonym
Love the five day forecast in the 4x2 widget. Current conditions correctly show my Chicago area location. But for part of the day, widget showed the 5-day forecast for Seaboard, NC! Dinged one star for the 5-day location flaw. 4/5
Positive review Great widget by anonym
I use it daily! Gives me 5 day forecast, current conditions, date and time right on my home screen. 5/5
Negative review Great widget, bad app by anonym
I have used weatherbug for years, and I was happy to find this new larger widget. Unfortunately, it has it's own version of the app when you click on it. Way too cartoonish and difficult to view information. I would much prefer this widget connected to the other app. 2/5
Positive review Weather Bug by anonym
Great for keeping up with the weather, when you are away from home. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
Awesome! Great robust and accurate. 5/5
Negative review Two steps backward by anonym
Paid for Weatherbug Elite and loved it. The ads look trashy, would gladly pay a few bucks a year to get rid of them. Sometimes the 10 day says no data available. Then it takes a few taps before I can escape out of it. 2/5
Neutral review It's good when it works! by anonym
It has bugs. Sometimes it won't let me open the app from the widget. 3/5
Neutral review Widget is so so. by anonym
The app itself is great with very pertinent info. However, the widget's temperature just refuses to regularly update. 3/5
Neutral review Tablet issues by anonym
On my tablet (not so bad on phone) radar animation is not working properly. 3/5
Negative review Not working by anonym
Replaced my old phone yesterday. I installed this app since I had it on my old phone and liked it. But now it's not working. Please fix.. 1/5
Negative review I used to love it by anonym
The new ui is too much like the weather channel. I don't like the weather channel, that's why I've used this app. Now, I have to find something new. 1/5
Neutral review Good info, but.. by anonym
A good widget but why doesn't it connect with weatherbug app itself. When I tap on it, it opens the weatherbug web page rather than app itself. Should be connected! 3/5
Negative review 2x1widget Disappears by anonym
Have had this widget on my Samsung Note 3 over a year. Recently, I had to reload my background and the weatherbug 2x1 widget vanished. Any ideas? I've updated the widget, same problem... 1/5
Negative review Was my best app by anonym
Just recently uninstalled and re-installed. But we will see. This was my favorite app then this morning I checked the weather and a frigging game (mobile strike) add came up and it wouldn't let me back out or close out of it. It just sent me to the Google play store install page page for the game. It wouldn't let me back to weather bug at all. I don't know if this is a virus the app caught or a dirty purchasing ploy so you have to buy a pro version but if it's still there when I go back on. I'm done. 1/5
Positive review Weather Bug Widgit? by anonym
I' m at Sprint right now. The above app disappeared from my Android Phone screen. Why is the app not appearing, it says it is on the screen and there is nothing there. The Technician can not get it either. Please, acknowledge the problem. AJ BUTTION 5/5
Negative review Just like the app Wrong weather info Wish I had the old version New version Failure Gummed up Broken App by anonym
You know Weatherbug, it doesn't matter how much crap you add to entertain the kids, or how many ads you run, your app is worthless if it doesn't report the weather accurately WHILE it's lagging and gummed up with intrusive ads. WORTHLESS APP. Loved it for years. Very sad indeed. Weather Channel reports weather accurately without a bunch of cartoon crap and ads. You need better programmers who know what they're doing. IT'S ABOUT THE USER EXPERIENCE. Yes I yelled. You seem to have forgotten programming 101. 1/5
Negative review Love hate by anonym
Love the quick widget stats. But it never updates my location correctly. Even with gps and location sharing turned on! Always reports current temp as 33f when it is 80+ in south Florida. 1/5
Neutral review by anonym
I like the look of the widget, although more customization options would be great. I understand the widget coming with a "standalone app" that doesn't require installation of the full Weatherbug app, but if the full app is installed, shouldn't we have the option of launching that directly from the widget? I'm finding the widget app slow and useless, to be honest... 3/5
Neutral review Curiouser and curiouser by anonym
I don't understand why it's so difficult for the widget and the notification temperatures to agree. I'm also curious why tapping on the temperature in the widget takes me to the internet weatherbug, which puts an add at the top asking me to get the ago, and not the weatherbug app downloaded on my phone! 3/5
Neutral review Not there yet. by anonym
Weaterbug app is my favorite, but the widget not so much. It opens slow, and is not nearly as nice in look and operation. And it still drains my battery. That was the biggest reason I stopped using it. I'll try it again, maybe, after future updates. 3/5
Neutral review Used to be a 5 star by anonym
The radar loop still acts up. And navigation is so very cluttered. What is wrong with stream lining things. People are busy, and want easy and quick access to the information that they are seeking. 3/5
Positive review by anonym
I don't give a crap about these whiners say "oh the thing locked on me once last month " hands down the best weather widget. Get an app killer and use it once Inna while,or get more RAM,& you won't have these problems! Thanks 5/5
Negative review Inaccurate by anonym
Will not hold location setting, keeps locating me about 20 miles from actual location. I reset it, and the next time I use it, it's moved me again. And the widget won't refresh, not even manually. 2/5
Negative review They took my paid app away! by anonym
You can't sell me an app, then take it away. Bad form. I'm taking my business elsewhere. 1/5
