meteoblue: Durability experiences
Reviewers report mixed experiences with meteoblue’s durability, particularly regarding app stability and widget performance. Overall, the sentiment has shifted from positive to increasingly negative over the past year, despite strong early praise. While 41 reviews highlight reliability, clean design, and useful features, 26 express frustration with crashes, failed updates, and non-functional widgets. The app’s rating dropped significantly from a high of 5 stars in early 2026 to 2 stars in June 2026 and 3.4 stars in August 2026, suggesting a decline in perceived durability. Many users note that the app once worked well but has deteriorated over time, especially on Android. The core functionality remains valued, but technical issues are now a recurring concern.
What customers praise
Customers appreciate the app’s clean interface and reliable weather data, especially the detailed maps and accurate forecasts. Many find the app easy to read and thorough, with one reviewer calling it 'unbelievably thorough' and '100% recommended.' The visual design and layout are frequently praised as neat and well-organized, contributing to a positive user experience despite technical flaws.
What customers said:
- „I love this app.“
Common complaints
Users report persistent issues with app stability, including widgets failing to load, updates not working, and the app crashing during location switches. Several reviewers mention that the widget, once a key feature, has not worked for years on Android. Some say the app no longer updates automatically and requires manual refreshes that often fail, even with a stable internet connection.
What customers said:
- „the new ones doesn't update automatically“
- „the most useful feature, the widget, has stopped working for years in Android“
How it has changed over time
The app’s durability has declined noticeably since mid-2025. It started strong with a 4.8-star rating in October 2025, but by June 2026, the rating had dropped to 2 stars, with multiple complaints about crashes and broken features. The shift suggests a regression in performance, particularly in update reliability and widget functionality, despite earlier praise for the app’s design and accuracy.
What customers said:
- „when I do a manual update, it doesn't update 4 of out of 5 times claiming no Internet“
- „Widgets not working“
Practical takeaways
While meteoblue remains a useful tool for detailed weather data and maps, users should be cautious about relying on it for critical forecasts due to inconsistent performance. The app’s core features are still strong, but technical issues like failed updates and non-functional widgets may affect daily use. Consider testing the app on your device before committing, especially if you depend on real-time updates or widgets.
What customers said:
- „Giving 2 starts because the main app is still good“
