What if AccuWeather doesn't reply?

Don't be surprised. Post your issue on their X/Twitter feed or leave a one-star app review. Public complaints get more eyes.

Can I escalate my complaint legally?

For a free weather app? A lawsuit is probably overkill. But you can file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which forces them to give a public response, or even the FTC if you believe their data practices are deceptive.

Are there lots of people leaving AccuWeather?

Tons of people switch. It's a revolving door. They get fed up with bad forecasts, delete it, and download another app. It's the nature of free weather apps.

Is this the right phone number to contact AccuWeather?

Nope. They don't have a public support number. It's all online forms to keep you at a distance. Don't bother searching for one.

What's the easiest way to cancel a subscription with AccuWeather?

Canceling their premium service is a pain because you have to do it through the app store, not AccuWeather's app itself. I had to help my dad do it and he thought he was canceling his iCloud storage by mistake. We have a simple guide on [How to cancel AccuWeather](https://www.19pine.ai/cancel-subscription/software-and-app-services/how-to-cancel-accuweather) that cuts through the confusion.

Other ways that I can contact the AccuWeather?

Not really. You're stuck with their support form or social media. That's the whole menu.

Why is the AccuWeather app so full of ads?

That's their business model for the free version. But it's gotten worse. The video ads that pop up when you're just trying to check the hourly forecast are a huge source of complaints for a reason, they feel intentionally disruptive.

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

Be hyper-specific. Don't just say "the app is broken." Say "Version 7.2.1 on iOS 17.4 crashes when I open the radar map."
Attach a screen recording. A video of the bug happening is undeniable proof and saves a lot of back-and-forth.
Keep it short and to the point. Support agents are busy. A clear, concise message is more likely to be read and understood.
Post it publicly. A public post on X (formerly Twitter) tagging their official account can sometimes get a faster response than a private email.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If AccuWeather support ignores you or gives you a useless response, it's time to escalate. Don't just give up.

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

Filing a complaint with the BBB is a more formal step. AccuWeather has a profile and is more likely to provide a formal response to a BBB complaint to maintain their rating. It's not a quick process, but it creates a public record of your issue.

App Stores (Apple/Google)

You can report the app directly through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This is particularly effective if your complaint is about deceptive or disruptive ads, privacy issues, or the app not functioning as described, as these can violate the store's terms of service.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

For serious issues related to data privacy or deceptive business practices, you can file a complaint with the FTC. This is a federal-level complaint and is used to spot patterns of wrongdoing, so while you may not get a personal resolution, you are contributing to a larger investigation.

Subject: Formal Complaint: App Performance and Forecast Inaccuracy

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally complain about the persistent issues with the AccuWeather application. This is not my first attempt to seek a resolution, as my previous inquiries through the support form have gone unanswered.

Specifically, the forecast for my area has been consistently and significantly inaccurate. On [Date], the app predicted a clear day, which resulted in my personal plans being ruined by an unexpected thunderstorm. This is just one of several instances. Furthermore, the app is overloaded with intrusive video ads that often block critical information like the radar map during severe weather alerts. Frankly, having to constantly close pop-ups while trying to assess a storm is both frustrating and potentially unsafe.

To resolve this, I expect a clear explanation for the decline in forecast accuracy and an immediate review of the disruptive ad placements. I require confirmation in writing that these issues are being addressed.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 5 business days, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and leave a detailed one-star review on the app store.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

Demand a human. If you get a generic, bot-like response from their support form, reply directly to the email with a simple message: "I need to speak with a human support agent about this issue."
Use a clear, searchable subject line. Instead of "Complaint," use something like "Bug Report: Radar Not Loading on Android 14." This helps them categorize it and helps you track it.
Reference your ticket number. If you get one, use it in every single follow-up communication. It shows you're organized and persistent.
Take a cue from Reddit. A user on the r/weather subreddit mentioned they only got traction after posting a screen recording on Twitter of a particularly bad ad that hijacked their phone's audio. Sometimes, you have to show them exactly how bad it is.
