  • (2023-07-16) Rand M: I would give it more stars, but AccuWeather is inaccurate. The temperature in my area is not going to be 107°F if anything 104°F. I have no idea why AccuWeather's predictions are so far off. Is it incompetence or perhaps political? Whatever it is, I will not be using your wonderful app, unless you're able to find a more accurate source to use.
  • (2023-04-24) Guy Hebert: I've always loved this extension (only negative is that precipitation numbers always end up WAY off...why is that ACCUweather?), first using it with Firefox and then Chorme, and the developer is quick to fix issues that pop up as well. :)
  • (2023-04-24) Pedro Gelabert: The best forecasting extension on Chrome and Edge. I consult this daily to see the weekly and daily forecast. Love how I can see the animated radar image by just hovering over the icon. Thanks to Oleksandr for carefully maintaining it!
  • (2023-04-24) Deric B: the return of the king
  • (2023-04-23) Juliette Backey: The best! No paywall for any of the features. TYSM!
  • (2023-04-23) Jim Friedlander: Yay! The best is back. Thanks for resolving the Accuweather problem. There really aren't any other extensions that come close to this one for me.
  • (2023-04-23) Mr. Bill: Been using Forecastfox for many years. Way back to when it was called Weatherfox! Always accurate and always full of useful information. Whenever there's a problem it gets fixed pretty quickly.I wish it was available as a stand-alone Android app.
  • (2023-04-22) Ellen Sleeter: For a hot minute, I thought we might have lost track of our developer, Oleksandr Popov!! Thanks so much for still being there, and solving, ONCE AGAIN, the Accuweather problem. How many times has Accuweather gotten hung up...?
  • (2023-04-22) Bryan Price: I have been using this addon for decades now it seems. Here's to victory in Ukraine's war against Russia!
  • (2023-04-22) Tecumseh: This extension is great! When there is a problem, I email the developer, and he always replies back to let you know the status of the problem. It is now fixed. Thank you so much Oleksandr Popov.
  • (2023-04-22) Coot Master: I thought it was ME it looks like it IS broken ty everyone for verifying ****EVERYONE I HAVE EMAILED THE DEVELOPER -FROM DEVELOPER :Hi! The problem is on accuweather.com server, I hope this is temporary http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox3/current-conditions.asp?location=cityId%3A274087&metric=0&langId=1&hws=1681899311092 Service Unavailable http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox3/forecast-data.asp?location=cityId%3A156574&metric=0&langId=35&e3h=1681899310104 Service Unavailable IF YOU CAN NOT WAIT THERE ARE FEW I USED WORLD WEATHER ONLINE AND GISMETEO CURRENT CONDITION FIXED \UPDATE ' DEV:I had to make several workarounds, and it seems that it brought a positive result :) PS: Can you ask people to put 5 stars on the expansion page? Many impatient people do put very many 1 star: ((((
  • (2023-04-22) David Balascak: This is the best weather app on chrome
  • (2023-04-21) mark Hamilton: Hope it gets fixed soon. Even if it doesn't, giving it 5 stars for the developer's work in the past. Thanks!
  • (2023-04-20) Forecastfox 4.26 is blocked the third day now, regarding its both Firefox and Chrome versions. Nevertheless, there is still working Forecastfox version 2.4.8 compatible with old pre-quantum Mozilla Gecko engine compilations, like New Moon, Palemoon, Seamonkey, Serpent etc.
  • (2023-04-20) GuMkA GuMa: not work :(
  • (2023-04-20) Erkan Doğan: Çok güzel çalışıyordu 2 gündür güncel sıcaklığı göstermiyor. 18.04.2023 tarihinde takılı kaldı. Bu konuda ne yapabilirim?
  • (2023-04-19) bear99008: As of 4-19-23 can no longer connect to the weather service. this is on two computers in firefox and Brave Browser. (PLEASE FIX)
  • (2023-01-23) Roman Т: Не дает добавлять дополнительные локации - замещает текущую.
  • (2023-01-20) 平井伸治: AccuWeatherの天気が見れ、地域も市区町村の下まで入力でき、 現在の天気情報と、今日含めて6日分の予報が見れるので、最低限の機能はあると思う。 ★5つでないのは以下の点。 ・衛星画像が表示されるが見てもあまり使い道がなく、これより時間ごとの天気を表示してほしい。  一応、時間ごとサイトへのリンクはあるが、拡張機能内で見れたほうが便利。 あと、Edgeアドオンサイトにも「Weather Forecast」というほぼ同じ拡張機能があるが、現在の天気情報が少し異なっている。 Edgeで使われる方はどちらを使用するか検討を。
  • (2023-01-13) Wolf0ne: I've used this extension for years with Firefox and loved it. Only since installing it on Brave, I've noticed that the extension needs to "Access your data for all web sites and Access browser tabs" I would love to know why.
  • (2022-12-13) Riaz Ali: worked for me most of the time in Toronto, but as of day it shows the current weather on the icon, but when clicked says 'There was a problem connecting to the weather service'
  • (2022-07-18) 跳馬蔦廊: 設定しようにも日本語の大半が意味不明。酷いレベル。 良さそうなアプリだったのでひと通り設定を頑張ってみたたが、最終的に情報ソースが海外の天気予報だったのでアンスト。 昔DELLのスマホを使っていたときにaccuがプリインされてたので使っていたことがあるが、実際の天気との乖離が大きくて嫌な思いをしたことがある。 やはり天気の情報は日本の情報が一番信頼できるし日本発に限る。
  • (2022-04-08) Eugene Z.: Отличное расширение! Показывает всю нужную информацию о погоде!
  • (2022-04-02) NIK Gaznik: Аффигительное расширение👌✔!!! Работает быстро, русский язык есть. 👍👌
  • (2022-02-11) AND: Great!! Thx!
  • (2021-11-01) Red Rock: Permissions are excessive. permissions required are: "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit"
  • (2021-09-22) lumena astra: Пока лучшее приложение !!!
  • (2021-03-06) Sam Smith: This has completely stopped working (cannot connect to the weather servicer) and without support. Don't waste your time.
  • (2021-03-05) Steven Shults: Was fun while it lasted, but recently it has been intermittently erroring with "there was a problem connecting to weather service" and now it's becoming less intermittent and more of constant problem. I tried running it as the only extension allowed in incognito mode, to test whether another extension was interfering with it, but the problem remains. I've made no changes on my machine or router which would be related, so I'm gonna stop troubleshooting an start looking for a an extension to replace it.
  • (2021-01-07) Stullba !: неожиданно перестало обновляться,исправте
  • (2020-12-24) Camille Stein: Love It, Love It, Love It - Get Rid of Radar-Snap!!!! Until Adobe Flash was buried I used to go to the NOAA website and look at the weather. The current NOAA radar is not user-friendly (at least for me). I was looking for an alternative and found Radar-Snap. Based on the reviews of Radar-Snap I decided that I would download it. It was USELESS!!! It appears that the developer no longer exists, because the same question was asked back in the middle of 2018. I looked for another extension and found this. So easy to install and set up, I can decide how much (or how little) information I want. The radar is so much easier to look at and the loop loads right away. I haven't experienced any of the problems other users have, but I've only had it going for 30 minutes or so. I'll see what happens over time and may amend my review.
  • (2020-10-21) Patti Johnson: Stopped working on my Chrome browser months ago with an error stating it could not connect to the weather service. I keep uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it makes no difference. That error remains. So disappointed. I really loved this extension until it stopped working.
  • (2020-10-01) Krzysztof Plawski: Gut!!!
  • (2020-08-30) Daniel Middleman: Doesn't show up on the toolbar.
  • (2020-08-26) Mustafa Ateş: Süper program tahminler güzel ve görsel
  • (2020-08-20) Curt Yanok: Love it! Best weather extension available. Just wish I could have it on Edge.
  • (2020-08-16) Tommy King: Very handy at looking at instant radar by looking at the little box. You can put the box on the right or left and it does not interfere with anything. If you put your mouse over the Radar part that expands out it shows you instantly the radar of the place you chose. You can even choose your home address as an area. This does not have a Facebook page for us to stay up with any updates or anything else, but it should have a Facebook page so I could easily point my friends to download it from there. Making it easier to download would get tons more people, plus adding a video of showing how it works. But 5 star all the way. It is hard to choose a weather app as there are so many out there, make it stand out more.
  • (2020-04-16) Jesse Muotoh: Very nice. I'd appreciate though if you could add environment Canada alerts for Canada. Thanks
  • (2020-03-24) 否天: 不错
  • (2020-03-11) Thomas Sandifer: Good app, but having problems in Chrome. When trying to change location, I get message saying server is blocked by an extension but doesn't say which one.
  • (2020-03-07) CC Patuleia: Fantastic extension
  • (2020-02-14) Ricky Shade: Still my favorite weather extension. I just love everything about the way it works. You get the little icon with the weather condition and temperature, you can quickly change between locations, and you get the little panel with a summary of the weather when you click on the icon. Wonderful in every way!
  • (2019-12-09) Flavio C.: best in class!!!
  • (2019-12-09) Tim F: SIMPLE: It doesn't work. A red asterisk in the center of the umbrella icon. This after installing the "fixed version". What happened? This was the best radar a extension out there
  • (2019-11-28) Андрей Петренко: Врет как дышит в реале 0 в расширении -4 на сайте https://www.windy.com/ 0 и без осадков в расширение ливень и мокрый снег
  • (2019-11-24) Bruce Thompson: Offers so many options, very configurable but easy to use. Provides great information
  • (2019-11-23) Jeffrey Siraguse: i would like to give this app a 5 star rating but for the last few days the forecast and the onscreen temp are not working,it tells me it can not connect to the server.please fix this soon.right now there is an icon with an umbrella with a red exclamation point in it.
  • (2019-11-09) Robert Miller: Great extension, but, for some reason can no longer connect to the weather service.
  • (2019-11-05) Michael Rigs: For those having a problem with the error of it not being able to connect to a service, do this below to fix it. I have no clue when the extension author will (or if he'll) be back, he posted he was having family health issues regarding his parents, so something obviously happened. I hope he's ok and does come back, I love this extension! HOW TO FIX: 1. Go to chrome://net-internals/#hsts. Enter forecastfox3.accuweather.com under Delete domain security policies and press the Delete button. 2. Now go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData (or through the settings option), tick the box Cached images and files and press click the button Clear data. Refresh Forecastfox and BOOM! Fixed! Worked like a charm for me! For those that wanted the technical reason why it doesn't work: "your browser forcibly redirects from http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com to https://forecastfox3.accuweather.com but forecastfox3.accuweather.com doesn't have https" found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/forecastfox-users/GqjFixL0cpA Enjoy!
  • (2019-10-22) Carri Rasing: I hope the developer comes and fixes this soon, I absolutely have loved this extension!

    It does not show Guangzhou, Guangdong, China forecast even though it's been setup correctly in the options location field. Other cities work fine as far as I've tried.
