Yahoo Weather Reviews
Yahoo Weather allows users to watch the weather forecast in an artistic and attractive way, offering users a visually delightful experience. It is also a practically useful app that keeps reminding users of the current and future weather conditions, locations, and times. The major features of Yahoo Weather are offered below.
First of all, users can attain detailed information about the weather, including the pressure, temperature, and wind. Secondly, users can watch animated climate changes and activities like the rise and set of the sun, the blowing of the wind, and pressure. Thirdly, users can view maps that are interactive. Those maps are featured with elements of satellite, heat, and radar. Fourthly, users can check more than the weather status of their current locations but are able to browse weather situations in other destinations. Finally, the app especially focuses on color contrast optimization, so users can observe the weather in different regions in a very obvious way.
Apart from the features mentioned above, there are also some useful tips that could be referred to by users. To begin with, users need to scroll down the screen in order to get all details of the weather instead of being stuck on the first page. Next, Yahoo Weather allows users to add different locations in up to 20 cities. Finally, users can swipe the screen in order to check the weather at different locations.
On the whole, Yahoo Weather is an excellent weather forecast app with great UI and UE. However, there are still some complaints from users about its unsatisfying UX experiences, including the full screen and riddled ads and the trouble of scrolling down all the way of the screen in order to see the weather forecast for upcoming days. Moreover, It is only available on mobile phones and can’t be installed on other devices like a laptop. Despite these flaws mentioned above, Yahoo Weather is a useful assistant for users to check current and future weather conditions with details offered. The support team and developers should refer to users' feedback and improve their UX experience for users. Anyway, Yahoo Weather’s picturesque interface is its biggest advantage compared with other weather-forecast apps.

Yahoo Weather Reviews
This app is a conventional weather forecast tool for many users for years. It might be a default choices for certain users who are not particularly fuzzy about a practical app like this. Indeed, Yahoo Weather generally serves its purpose sufficiently well without extra complications or distractions. It is often praised for its tasteful classy design of the weather display page. With carefully choose images of the located places, it is a pleasance for the eyes. Regardless, the weather-related data and readings are quite detailed and comprehensive, which caters to the average need for daily weather forecast. Although, some complaints indicated that the forecast may not necessarily be very accurate, yet it should be noted that no weather forecast can guarantee an 100% accuracy in terms of weather predictions. Plus, such issues also relates to other uncertain factors such as internet connection and satellite facilities. Therefore, I would say it is a reasonably reliable app for weather. The only downside I would like to point out is the layout change in the newly released updates. Such change does feel like the app has lost a bit of its pleasant and attractive feature. Such alteration doesn’t really enhance the style, rather, it reduces the density of practical information the interface used to contain. However, function wise, this app still holds well for its basic functions and aims.
