User comments

it's one of the best weather apps , but there is no option to correct the name of location. option needed to correct the name of location.

Extremely reliable weather predictor app, with micro-level differential reporting capabilities for small, local areas of larger towns and cities. The pollution metric is also reliable and useful. The maps are an added bonus. Plus, at the moment at least, it's totally ad-free, hence no intrusions to the core app activity. This Skymetweather app is my go-to app for all weather checks.

It's the most accurate forecast app available for Indian users. Its UI is laggy, it's widget doesn't work, new features, maps, news all those are useless for users who just want to check the temperature. I would suggest to make a lite version of the app with minimal bloats and your accurate data and roll out the new features on the main app.

Conclusion

Skymet Weather excels in delivering weather and pollution forecasts tailored for the Indian region, backed by robust meteorological expertise and a powerful sensor network. However, the dated interface and occasional location accuracy issues mean that while the app is functionally solid, it may not appeal to those seeking a more refined user experience.
