Summary

The MeteoSwiss app receives largely negative feedback, despite some users commending its accuracy of forecasts, especially for mountain activities, and the richness of additional data such as pollen and UV index. However, recent versions are heavily criticized for a degraded user interface and design, which many find unintuitive and cluttered, particularly on iPhones. Recurring issues include poor location management functionality and various compatibility and device-specific issues, such as non-functional widgets on iOS 18.6.2, startup problems on iOS 18.5, and high battery consumption. Overall, many users feel the app has significantly declined in quality compared to its previous iterations, with specific complaints regarding version V3 not addressing user feedback.
