meteoblue: Ordering & website experiences
Customers have mixed feelings about meteoblue’s ordering and website experience, with a slight majority expressing negative sentiment. Reviewers report that the platform’s interface has undergone significant changes that have disrupted usability, particularly with the latest updates. Many praise the app’s accurate data and clean layout in earlier versions, but recent feedback highlights growing frustration with cluttered design, poor navigation, and persistent ads. While some users still appreciate the depth of weather information and the app’s reliability, others describe the experience as increasingly frustrating, especially when trying to manage favorite locations or access features like cloud height in imperial units. The overall trend shows a decline in satisfaction from mid-2025 through early 2026, with a sharp drop in ratings in June and July 2026, followed by a partial recovery in August. Despite this, the number of negative mentions remains higher than positive, indicating ongoing concerns about core functionality and user experience.
What customers praise
Many users still value meteoblue for its accurate and comprehensive weather data, particularly the ability to view wind, pressure, and radar maps in one place. Customers appreciate the clean layout and intuitive design of earlier versions, with some calling it the most reliable weather app available. The app’s integration with devices like Garmin watches and its detailed presentation of weather indicators are frequently highlighted as strong points. Several reviewers also note that the website is well-designed and easy to use, especially for accessing detailed forecasts and satellite views.
What customers said:
- „It has now become my default weather forecaster.“
- „easy to navigate.“
- „all information on one page“
Common complaints
Users frequently report issues with the new interface, describing it as cluttered and hard to navigate. Many complain about the inability to easily remove or reorder locations, with some stating it’s flat out impossible. The app’s handling of subscriptions is a major pain point, users with active premium accounts still see ads, and the app often fails to recognize their subscription status. Also, the sudden appearance of multiple ads in quick succession and the loss of previously available features, such as quick access to webcams, have led to frustration and app uninstalls.
What customers said:
- „All features should be available from the menu, don't want to have to scroll down the…“
„All features should be available from the menu, don't want to have to scroll down the home page“
- „the update is automatic.“
- „heaven forbid you ever try to remove a location, apparently that's flat out impossible“
How it has changed over time
The user experience has declined significantly since mid-2025, with ratings dropping from around 4 stars to below 2.5 in June and July 2026. This coincides with major UI updates that introduced clutter, removed intuitive features, and disrupted subscription functionality. While ratings improved slightly in August 2026, the overall trend shows a clear deterioration in user satisfaction. The shift from a functional, user-friendly design to one perceived as confusing and ad-heavy appears to have alienated long-time users, many of whom have canceled subscriptions or switched to alternatives.
What customers said:
- „buggy on favourite locations“
- „the app does not know from which the premium subscription is“
- „can't find out what the bar right next to the temperature means“
Practical takeaways
If you rely on meteoblue for detailed weather data, especially wind and pressure charts, it remains a strong option, but be prepared for a less intuitive interface. Users should avoid the app if they value a clean, ad-free experience or need to manage favorite locations easily. The subscription system is unreliable, so verify your status after purchase. For now, the web version appears more stable than the app, and users may benefit from sticking to the desktop site for critical forecasts. Consider testing the app before committing to a long-term subscription due to ongoing issues with functionality and consistency.
What customers said:
- „practically impossible to remove a city from tabs“
- „when upgrading to premium it never selects the account with the active subscription“
- „can't sort the favorites“
