I used to find this app really useful until it stopped picking up my current location a few weeks ago. I've set full location permissions and cleared storage and cache then restarted my phone but it hasn't fixed the issue. It would be nice to have an option to manually set/override your current location as it keeps telling me I'm in a nearby city that I do not even visit.

I quite like this weather app from Google. I enjoy that I can move items around and unlike others, everything is in the correct units (km & celcius) now. The AI insights are actually useful also. The only issue is that they don't include wind chill effect (feels like) for anything other than the current temperature. So for a cold climate, the forecast is not really useful, hopefully they add that soon as I need to use another app still to see a useful forecast.

I really don't like this update, and it seems like most people agree with me. It's so much harder to read with each metric being in a differently shaped thing instead of a simple list. It's unintuitive and ugly. Why would you get rid of the frog and replace it with big shapes everywhere?? It takes me forever to find the information I was looking for. The design of the app DID NOT need to change. I hate that Google always tries to fix things that aren't broken.

Not detecting the precise location anymore. Even with permissions for it enabled and allowing background activity and disabling battery optimisation. It now just defaults to County! which makes it pretty useless, especially as you can't select a "Manual" location as your default one, only allows you to use "Current location" as the default, which would be fine as long as it knew where I was!! Fix!

It's fine, I guess, but I find it frustrating how much space the widget takes up for how little it actually displays. There's plenty of room to display Celsius and Fahrenheit simultaneously but that option isn't provided. If they add it and optimize the screen space usage I'd consider a better rating

This seems to be becoming more and more unreliable. Consistently, the app is saying we are in the middle of a strong thunderstorm (for hours at a time) while there's not a cloud in the sky. There's also not even a rain shower showing up on the weather map for hundreds of miles. Also, the app loves to display a feels like temp of 76° almost all the time. This app also desperately needs radar. The weather map will show no rain to be seen, yet it's currently pouring.

One star for not being easily able to switch up the units of the various weather data. You can go into System->Languages->Regional Preferences and change "Temperature" to "Celsius", of course, but that only changes the temp units in the Weather app, which is somehow dumber than not changing it at all. Embarrassing. Disabling the app brings back all the old stuff, though, so at least there's that.

This is the most unreliable weather app I've ever interacted with. On multiple occasions, the app would be telling me the weather is very different from what it actually is. For instance, just yesterday, my family is sitting outside under dark, cloudy skies experiencing prolonged drizzles and downpours, but the app is telling me my current location is partly sunny with 0% chance of rain. I have now disabled this app since I can't uninstall it.

Icons for Pixel Weather on the lock and home screens come and go. Without them the weather info cannot be accessed (Pixel Weather screens cannot be navigated to, disappearing immediately on navigating away from the app). Very frustrating. Bug has continued for 2 weeks at least without being fixed. As a temporary measure, finding the app within the app store and touching "Open" accesses the app. Looks like the icons disappearing from time to time is the issue.

The search for a location doesn't work at all. You might be able to get weather in your current location, but forget it if you're traveling somewhere and want to know the weather there. Also, it constantly tells you to update location permissions when they're already updated. No idea what it wants me to do.

I kinda like the app, it feels nice and gives a lot of information But..... BRING BACK FROGO 🐸 Also I'm one of the victims of the unit not being correct, for context I set my language as British English, I speak English but I live in mainland Europe, so we use metric, my only solution is to switch to Canadian English which I don't want to do So please let us change the units without forcing us to change our entire phone's language Other than that, Google's on the right path, 3/5*
