BBC Weather - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

iPad version is unresponsive
Since latest update the tabs for each day along the bottom are unresponsive and the app locks up. The iPhone app works great but the iPad version is frustratingly bad. Deleting and reinstalling does nothing

Frustrating
App used to work great but just stopped being able to tap on the following days. Tried deleting and reinstalling but makes no difference. A real shame as is the most reliable forecast.

Problem with Weather Icon
Can you developers please amend the icon you show for the days weather to reflect the mode value for the data set please between the hours of 6am to 10pm or something that better reflects the weather for the day . It's quite annoying to see rain all the time when the majority of the day is actually dry.

Fallen from grace
Over recent years, forecasts in this app have become less trustworthy, not more. I get far more accurate predictions from the Met Office app or the stock Weather app. Deleted this today.

Another app I wish I hadn’t updated
Why is it that these days updating really means downgrading? On the ipad the screen wizzes past your selected locations without pausing (like it used to) forcing you to carefully align the screen else you end up with one half of one location and the other half of another! Accuracy of the forecast hasn't been so good for a few years either.
