I really wish there was a home and lockscreen widget for the weather to be able to quickly check the weather. Other than that i love it! I get notified on time and all
Needs more information, kind of plain compared to The Weather Channel app
This has potential to be one of, if not the, best free weather app out there. Adding widget capabilities will go a long way
Please add widget option so I can replace it native weather app widget
Love the photography and videos! Would love to see AQI at the top. It’s a must.
I was excited to try the new CNN Weather app. I have all of my apps set to ‘share location only when using’ because I don’t want to be tracked all the time. The CNN Weather App has pop ups on the iPhone asking me to change the ‘location sharing to always’. Even when I am not using the app I get popups asking me to change location data. Every two hours my iPhone will stop working until I answer either keep sharing settings as is or allow sharing all the time. I had to delete the app just to use my iPhone.
Downloaded and crashed upon opening. Rebooted phone and still crashed. I have IOS 26.5.
The app is visually stunning and easy to use. It feels calm and informative, which is just how I like my weather info.
Receiving a notification for tornado warning in Kansas. Didn’t receive one for the thunderstorm in the place I actually live. Pretty app, it’s designed well - but not very helpful.
It’s not able to find Hong Kong or Singapore!
