Never says the same as the TV
I only use this app to get an idea of temperature, it never says the same as the bbc tv weather forecast, which is more reliable.

No coverage!
Trying to get a forecast and it tells me cannot get one …. Not good

Freezes
This app starts but won't let me see the forecast for anything other than the current day. It's frozen - at least in that respect.

Please find a different approach to gloomiest icon
I love the BBC. I love their weather forecasts. And BBC Weather is my go to weather app. However, I really don't like how the icon selected for the day summary is always the gloomiest for the day. It's unhelpful and depressing. Case in point - the forecast for this Thursday is sunny or sunny intervals for every hour interval during the day except for one hour, where it's a black cloud (30% chance of rain). Which icon is chosen for the day summary?.. the black cloud of course. Doom. Gloom. It's needlessly depressing, particularly with our changeable weather here in the UK, and not a representative summary. Boo.

I'm looking at the forecast right now for where I am and it says “no rain” but I am looking outside and it's pouring 🤷🏻‍♀️ I understand there's room for marginal error but come on !! ☔️☔️☔️

We need wind!!
Seriously irritated that I can't see wind trends without going into each day separately. Makes planning harder for all sorts of outdoor sports and activities. This is a major -ve for my surfing, sailing and paddling friends.

Weather in sheerness Kent
On the app it says it's sunny when it's actually pouring with rain and has been for the last hour
