BBC Weather users say on Google Play
excellent service, very detailed long range forecast.
Compared with the Met Office weather app it's odd that they come up with different forecasts occasionally. I docked a point off because I couldn't find a way to display the forecast for wind gusts.
The new format is so annoying. Just does not work as well as the old format. I've tried to get along with it but can't.
Very unfriendly after the last update. Moving the hourly weather to the bottom has made it very user unfriendly. Terribly inaccurate as well
Put the hamburger menu back in the top left corner, and remove the annoying new nav bar - If it ain't broke..... October 25 update - Who approved the latest update? Let the kid on "Work Experience" have a go - I think they would do a better job.
