Previous version app was excellent, new version is massively inferior. Long range forecast disappeared, rain radar won't load. Tried to find old version to reload but it's not available. Used to us... See more

I find it very hard to use
I find it very hard to use - hard to read the stark and dark colour scheme, very "jumpy" to scroll through, and looks really "tacky" in design and layout. The old app was cleaner and clearer and much nicer to use and with better more detailed information eg surface pressureetc
The new app is unbelievably dumbed…
The new app is unbelievably dumbed down. I relied on the old app for sensible information, to help with planning. The new UI is cartoonish and patronising, with bright colours and pictures of sun and rain. I can't use this. It's no longer a serious app.
Previous app was much better
Previous app was much better. Radar maps were better. Widgets were better. Current location was better. And new app is more expensive to go add free.
People should be sacked!
This should be a case study for how not to run an IT project. The new app is so bad I’ve deleted it. Whoever thought this was good to go live should be sacked.
The upgrade simply should be binned
The upgrade simply should be binned. The user experience is now poor and frustrating. I am giving up with the new style app because the new over design has moved far away from the previous well designed and easy to read app at a glance. The upgrade has lost the original clear design and functionality. Another example of poor design at the expense of lost functionality.
Ridiculous
Ridiculous. Poor. Pointless!
The previous version was excellent so, at most, needed a tweak here or there.
Which idiot decided to press ahead and roll out this aberration???
Abysmal and virtually useless
I used to rely almost entirely on the Met Office app which was pretty good before and usually the most accurate. The updated version is a disaster, clunky, can’t properly locate me like before and no options to sort and personalise favourite locations. No written forecast and I can’t find pressure indicators or the long range forecast either. Dismal, am infuriated that I actually paid to remove ads (and before ad-free was free). Wish I’d kept the old one.
You named a storm Chandra
You named a storm Chandra. What the … is going on? Moon, calm, shining of Indian origin. Which member of staff was responsible for this disgraceful moniker?
Wrecked a previously brilliant app
Thought I'd add my voice to the barrage of disapproval. The Met Office have absolutely wrecked a previously brilliant app. Surely, with this much bad feedback they have to listen and scrap this new version. I tried for a few days and then uninstalled. It's hopeless.
What was wrong with the previous app
What was wrong with the previous app? This new version of the app is hard to navigate. The colours make it hard to read. Maximum wind gusts are not displayed with the average wind speeds but separately. Please return to the previous format. I shall be looking for a different app.
Bring back the previous app
Bring back the previous app. This new version isadarl screen, ony s limited amounta of data on the main screen, less than the last version. To fidout more details you gave to scroll down and click to open another page for wind, for pollution, for rain .It's not user friedy and very difficult to navigate on a mobile phone. Duets dark scree it will be impossible to read the screen in bright daylight.
Met office weather app
They should have left the app alone. Why change it? I am searching for an alternative as new Met app not user friendly
New app is user unfriendly and has now…
New app is user unfriendly and has now lost the pressure map. Please restore the previous version.
Rubbish
It looks like a child has put this together. Hard to navigate, clunky performance and no pressure chart. It’s garbage after the old one was fine. Why do this????
The new app is appaling
This new app is awful and not user friendly. The screen is too crowded with information. Who decided we didn't need a pressure map. It was one of the most useful features. The location accuracy is appalling. Several miles out and varies on different devices in the same room.
Terrible
Terrible, wind arrow should always point to where the wind is coming from, not to where its going, definitely a step backwards.
This is the most terrible update
This is the most terrible update. The last app did not look good and it had is faults but it was easy to see at a glance. This upgrade wastes a huge amount of valuable screen space making it very slow to use. Key information such as wind guests is hidden. Key information should be available at a glance. We do not need descriptions and graphics. A shameful update.
The new “upgrade” is depressing with…
The new “upgrade” is depressing with its black and grey background and far too busy.
On the landing screen I want a quick look to clearly see the sun, rain and wind for the day before going out as the old one provided perfectly. My location also keeps coming up incorrect.
Unfortunately the forecasts are very good or I would switch to a different app
Can't get on with the new weather app
Can't get on with the new weather app, my locations are gone as well as local one miles off my actual location. Dark screen is awful, unpleasant to read, screen too cluttered, info difficult to find. Going back to the BBC
Weather app not fit for purpose.
The met office has taken away my access to the daily weather information which is essential to my life.
The new version is unclear, difficult to read and eats up my mobile data so that I cannot regularly check it.
Please reinstate the old version of the app.
