Has anyone just got the met office app updated?

What do you think?

I hate it since it's been updated!

I don't like the new version but I guess I'll get used to it. I'm getting old and generally don't like change eg new phone, car etc. DH loves new stuff.

I'm now looking at it with interest to see the sky colour to see if it matches 😂😂😂

I used to like having many locations shown on the front screen. Now I have to select each one at a time. It was great seeing how cold it was at home then just underneath how hot it was on my next holiday location.

purpleme12 · 21/01/2026 13:51

I've hardly looked at it since

I'd like at it often before

Why is 'improved' always rubbish? Detest the black background. Is it possible to change this?

purpleme12 · 22/01/2026 09:04

Do the other weather apps have 'feels like'?

Absolutely hate it, it's a total downgrade!

I'm now getting a banner advert for windows along the bottom which looks like an option to show things in a grid, and nearly catches me out every time I open it as I think, oh, I can change the layout! Admittedly this is becoming less and less often as the app is so crap and irritating that I don't bother looking at it.

Apparently they have made some updates, but as you still can't get an accurate 'my location' forecast I haven't bothered downloading it again to check anything else.

Nereidd · 22/01/2026 12:42

The Hyperlocal app is really good.

LemaxObsessive · 22/01/2026 12:54

I like it. Much less confusing and I like that they’ve added a radar

I see they've put the 'feels like' where it used to be!

In fact they've changed the rain bit as well

I actually think they've listened to what I said!

It isn't for me! 😭

Maybe yours will update itself soon?

I still don't really like the black colour

Hate it as I used the local “beach” forecast as it actually had tide times which is a brilliant feature as I walk / run / Seaswim weekly. I need go see wind, temp , tide in easy read format. I’d pay for the old version

Yep, the feels like has been added to the top tile.

The weather's still crap, though 😂

Maybe that's why mine isn't updated to show the feels like then. Sigh.

NoWordForFluffy · 24/01/2026 09:05

I have my feels like back! 😁

Me too!

The adverts seem really intrusive because of the black background though. Am considering paying to remove them…
