Comments on BBC Weather for Android

★★★★★ Sophia T · Nov 10, 2026
Pretty accurate. Easy to use. Helpful for me as I work outdoors in most weather conditions 🌻
★★★★★ Chris Dodds · Nov 8, 2026
Very informative. Gives you ideas of what to wear depending on weather
★★★★★ A Google user · Oct 7, 2026
It's a good, clear forecast showing the weather at that time and what is expected later. The only downside is that you can only see the weather for your current location, I would like to see multiple locations. Since this first review I have learned how to add and delete locations so that I can use it before we go on holiday to a different area. You can even add the area you are going to on holiday aboard!
★☆☆☆☆ colin smith · Oct 9, 2026
Rubbish cannot get the weather predictions anywhere near. Aid rain today in our area, but was dry, no rain. Wow
★☆☆☆☆ Golom Lock · Nov 1, 2026
Yet again you post spoilers with no warning for shows. I've now deleted all bbc apps to try and avoid spoilers for bbc shows. It's utter stupidity to ruin your own viewers' enjoyment of your shows. I can't risk having bbc apps installed on my phone, where I used to watch bbc content, because the chance of you spoiling your own shows and ruining my evening is too high. If there was ever a reason to stop paying the license fee and give up on the bbc this is it. Posted to all your apps I uninstalled
★★☆☆☆ Peter Mc · Oct 8, 2026
Frustrating to use... Constantly keeps nagging me to turn on my location setting which is really annoying and frustrating. Automatically adds any location you've searched for in your list. So if it's just a one-off search you have to go back and delete it. Long range forecast is useless (though that's an issue with many apps) Widget crashes
