I used to love the Windows 8.1 weather app which was powered by Bing but would also let you see forecasts from other services like Accu-Weather. Now the service has changed to MSN Weather and it sucks.
There seems to be now way to change any settings back to one of the decent information providers. This is a big step backward for was used to be a great capability.

The only reason to use the Weather app from time to time was the possibility to see 3 different forecasts side-by-side. Some genius has decided to remove that feature. So no reason to use this app any longer at all.
1 October 2014
As part of the renaming from Bing to MSN Weather they removed the best feature, the ability to show the 10 day forecast from 3 sources (Bing/MSN, Accuweather, and Foreca) at the same time. Don't update if you use this great feature.
3 October 2014
They got rid of the ability to see three different weather channels at once.

This app keeps telling me there is a new update and there is nothing to download. Is there an update or what? Otherwise this app gives all the weather in your area. This app gives you Doppler radar, hour by hour weather and 7-day forecast.

You people should explore the app more before complaining. Right click any where in the weather app > Look to the bottom right > Change to Celsius.

This app just isn't good at all. I have my location settings to where whenever I use this app anywhere; it'll show me the weather of that city I'm in. Well, it doesn't work. Always shows "London" as my location, I don't even live in London. Or anywhere near London. I have "repaired" this app several times thinking the problem would eventually fix on its own, and it hasn't. After writing this review, I will be looking for a different weather app to use, one that is accurate.

Detailed weather info is great. Gives you all you need and more. Love the day by day historical data. Well done, great layout, detailed and accurate data, and easy to use. Please learn to use Windows 8 before posting nonsense. To change location right click or swipe down, click places, click + symbol, add location, swipe down or right click to set location as home. To set Fahrenheit or Celsius, right click or swipe down, choose from lower menu. Settings are in charms bar. Simple. Enjoy.

It was fine as long as it worked. . . .App suddenly quit, I am uninstalling it.
9 December 2014
The MSN Weather App that came with my laptop (Windows 8.1) was great but suddenly it now will not open. The blue background and the sunburst emblem comes up but it won't go further. Can anyone help?
13 February 2015
It has never acted up foe this long. Is there reason why?
16 May 2014
since I installed 8.1 my weather app doesn't work
still doesn't work
26 February 2015
loved it when it worked. All of a sudden it doesn't! Going to UNinstall it as soon as I can figure out how to do it! Grrrrrrrrr...
1 October 2015
I was using this app since I bought this computer, and now it suddenly stopped working, so now I switched to the weather channel app and that seems to be working fine.
2 December 2014
No longer updates..
2 October 2015
Until a few days ago, this app worked fine. Now it doesn't open. I deleted and reinstalled it. It worked the remainder of that day. The next day, it didn't open. I'm deleting and reinstalling one more time. If it won't open after that, it will be deleted for good.
17 July 2014
Should be no stars! Was working fine a week ago...now has stopped. Reinstalled twice, still not working. Too bad because it was a great app when it worked.
2 October 2015
It stopped working and I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but to no avail.
3 August 2014
was working fine but it stopped working around Monday So I went to uninstall and reinstall it but it won't let me do it now. Don't waste you're time on the Bing apps because everyone of them stopped working Monday a week ago
15 December 2012
The latest update moved the huge ad from the end of the app to the where it is more intrusive. C'mon guys.
9 December 2014
What happened to the MSN weather app? It's locked and I can't use it. Can someone help me please?
11 January 2013
It does not allow me to set weather by zip code or actual city that I live it. It only allows location by where it thinks my internet connection is which is several miles away. At least the Google one lets me put in my zip code.
4 October 2014
Will be looking for a new weather app after this change!
31 May 2014

15 August 2014

7 May 2014
It wont show local weather on tile. It shows Washington D.C.(1/2/14) I've given it access to my location and checked settings. Don't know what else can do. Addendum: Still on 5/6/14 have same problem.
