WeatherSmart

Unintuitive in design, with no severe weather warnings. Don’t waste your time downloading this app.

I tried the app a few years ago and it was useless. A friend convinced me that the new app is worth giving a go, it’s still useless. Despite allowing location services the app it defaults to Pretoria and the add location function does not work. Information provided is meagre compared to other apps. Even the weather service website is exceptionally basic compared to international services which somehow are able to provide more detailed and accurate information. They probably get the info from weatherSA so don’t know why weatherSA is incapable of presenting the info.

The latest update gives different temps for the following day. Please fix it.

worse app ever, can’t send warning messages useless.

Weather forecast is accurate if you can get it to work. Never able to search for a new location and the gps location seem to always pick up where you were last week and not where you are this week

This used to be a good app with accurate rain predictors. It seems like they've now given up. It rained like crazy - and nothing from these guys. Do better.

I thought the previous SAWS app was quite nice, but hopelessly useless in terms if accuracy - but this is just hopelessly useless, full stop! It is completely user-unfriendly and the only feature that may be worth something is the rainfall map at the end - ie. if one can test it properly! Another complete NO NO is the comment that it may still run in the back ground and use battery power, even if you do not have it open!

Offline again!!!

This app wouldn’t even launch on my previous phone - all I got was a white screen. But, since my city’s weather is notoriously difficult to predict by other apps, I thought let’s give this app another try on my new phone. It launched! Unfortunately it has a bad user interface design and a list of bugs so long I won’t bore you with the details. I’ll mention the worst one though: After I set up my allocated 5 suburbs, it wouldn’t let me change them. Worse - the most important suburb, where I live and work, was set up using my GPS, but now that suburb is stuck on a faraway one I recently visited and it won’t change back, rendering the app largely unusable to me. C’mon guys, you can do better than this. Is no-one even bothering to read the last few years’ feedback here? The money you spent developing this app is a waste if no-one uses your app.

Have been struggling to find an app that can accurately predict rain. This app has somewhat good data behind it. But WOW it is unusable. It gives four vague times of day and you have to guess what happens in between. Needs some serious UI updates. Cannot add a location manually- luckily it adds my current location (but the big map is stuck on Pretoria)- so is the weather actually for Pretoria? Is it coincidental that the predictions are correct? I wish this app gets the development it needs.
