Absolute rubbish!

You cannot rely on this forecast!

I think these guys just look out the window and guess!!

Awful. Heavy rain from 4pm at 50% rising to 95% during the evening. No rain at all. USELESS.

Absolute rubbish, they can't even forecast what the weather is going to do in the next hour !

For Christ's Sake!
Now if you change your location from the old format website it switches location but redisplays the info back on the diabolical new format and you have to hit the 'goback to old design' yet again. Will the self serving dinosaurs who have implemented this garbage get it into their thick skulls that I want to stay on the old website until it disappears and then I will go elsewhere.
I submitted a FOI request for them to publish their feedback over the last 8 month and they replied that there was so much it would cost over £750 in man-hours so the rules say they needn't do it. What kind of freedom of information is that? Getting lots of negative feedback -> Lets them off the hook and at their unilateral discretation. I GIVE UP!

Disgusted that this app does not recognise my location.
Cannot give feedback because it said close page due to hackers.
It’s so gloomy and black makes you want to slit your wrists.
They need to go back to their previous app, whoever thought this ‘new’ app up needs retraining🤬

Shite is the word, unreliable predictions
Says it's going to rain then it doesn't. it used to be faultless before but since they've updated it its trash even the ui is a step back the old version was alot better
As an industrial painter we relied on this app alot but ill be trying others from now on

BIG UP! Thamesmead Moorings safer Neighbourhood Team
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

This used to be a decent app. The latest version is unusable. It was easy to find a more intuitive replacement. Bye bye met Office

The Met Office wind predictions consistently have a very large difference between the wind speed and wind gust speed. For example giving a wind speed of 10 knots with gusts to 30 knots over an hour. While sometimes this is possible it is also unusual in real life, and much more unusual than the met Office predictions would suggest. The large difference makes risk assessing wind dependent activities like watersports very difficult and drives me away from the met Office.

In particular I have been relying on the forecast a little more than usual in the period 19 - 27 th March whilst walking in Scotland . Overall I have been quite disappointed in the accuracy of its predictions , even as little as 24 hours in advance . I would estimate the overall accuracy in this period to be around 25 - 30 % at best - surely with all the modern technology they profess to have they can be better than this . The MWIS forecasts were slighly better and attempt to predict no more than 72 hrs ahead , even so they were generally more on the pessimistic ( playing it safe ? ) side . To day on the 28th in Merseyside area was meant to deteriorate to rain by mid day - actually very bright day and sunny all day to time of writing ( 4.30 pm ) - blue sky !

Why do you put an icon of sunshine when it's going to rain?

The met office forecast for rain is very poor, it constantly falls short of its own projections of rain. We rarely get the amount forecast.

New weather app is unclear, looks like a cheap commercial site, contains less relevant information than the old site which was clear, user friendly and informative. Using coloured backgrounds to reflect the forecast gives a mostly inaccurate and misleading image of the weather in real life. Time to scrap it and return to the original page

I have previously rated the new met office app as 1 star. I deleted it as it was so bad. Apparently the met office are responding to feedback and putting some features they had removed. I thought I would give it another go but l cannot download the latest version. Checked all my phones settings but no go.

Well the metoffice said it would be 44mph gusts we have just taken a reading and shocking as it may be they are nearly 50% out , 65mph gusts

Negative stars would be more appropriate. The latest app at March 26 is very close to useless. Looks terrible although a fortune has clearly been spent on the design. But there real killer ideas that it's no use for anyone who actually needs to know what the weather's going to do. It's been set up so that commuters know if they need an umbrella. If you want more, don't bother.

THIS MORNING IT WAS MEANT TO RAIN FROM ABOUT 11AM TO GONE NOON SO I CANCELLED AN OUTING I HAD ORGANISED FOR 9 PEOPLE - IT IS NOT RAINING.

Typical gaslighting middle management, not listening to users. The new app needs binning. And someone needs sacking. Myself I have unticked auto update in Play and download previous version from apkmirror.

This is a major downgrade. Dark, dingy and hard to navigate.
I am looking at alternatives.

The App doesn' work and highly inaccurate and only shows the weather as its happening
