Comments on AfricaWeather for Android

★★★★☆ Anthony van Tonder · Jul 28, 2026
Updated. This used to be a great app. App doesn't work anymore. Just crashes when opened. Deleted data and uninstalled reinstalled to no avail.
★★★★☆ A Google user · Aug 14, 2026
The app keeps closing after a few seconds, never used to do this.
★★★★☆ Juan Vermeulen · Jul 29, 2026
Different weather showing on widget I still give you a solid 4star, because this is a great app for weather. However :-). It is currently crashing on my phone. Galaxy s25 One UI 8.5. Do you guys have updated on when it will be fixed?
★★★★☆ Charles Guise-Brown · Apr 16, 2026
Has been my go-to weather app for many years and suddenly auto closes now when I try to use it every time.
★★★★★ Ruan Pretorius · Mar 18, 2026
Good Quality Info on the app that can be trusted.
★★★★★ Louwrens Erasmus · Jul 26, 2026
Accurate forecasts, but the app stopped working. Re-installed with no luck.
★☆☆☆☆ Lindley Worthington · Sep 18, 2026
I've been using this app with subscription for years. All of a sudden it stops working on the same phone. Opens and immediately closes The new version is utterly useless. It worked briefly even though the new UI is horrible. Recently it either freezes while loading or gives an error about not being able to update conditions. We should all get our money back
★☆☆☆☆ Melissa Burton · Jul 31, 2026
This app is now broken. Worked well before and gave fairly accurate weather predictions... but that doesn't help if the app keeps crashing and can't load the weather forecast. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still keeps crashing.
★☆☆☆☆ Marius Dreyer · Jul 29, 2026
Used to be reliable. Now just crashes. Many similar reports. No comments from developers. App uninstalled. Bye!
