Hi there! I understand you'd like to know why the Weather@Home app has been discontinued. Could you tell me a bit more about where and when you noticed the app is no longer available? For example, the device you were using or any notifications you got? That way I can be more precise.

In general, from what I've found, some weather apps have been discontinued or removed due to company decisions such as acquisitions or compatibility issues with new OS versions. For instance, an Android weather app stopped working after it was acquired by Apple several years ago, and some Google-related weather apps became incompatible after new Android updates3 5.

If you can share the exact app store or platform you used with Weather@Home, I can help you check if there's an official statement or alternative solution. Meanwhile, I can also guide you on how to get accurate weather info from other trusted sources if needed.

Does that sound good? Let me know!

The app was on my iPhone but is no longer there and it's not on the app store.

Thanks for sharing that you're using an iPhone and the Weather@Home app is no longer appearing on your device or in the App Store. Let's dig into this together.

First, just to clarify, is "Weather@Home" the exact name of the app you had, or was it a similar weather app? Sometimes the default iPhone Weather app is just called "Weather," and third-party apps have similar names.

Here are some simple steps to check:

1. Search in App Library: On your iPhone, swipe left past all your Home Screen pages until you reach the App Library. Use the search bar at the top to type "Weather@Home" or just "Weather." If you find it there, you can tap and drag it back to your Home Screen.

2. Check for Hidden Apps: Sometimes apps can be hidden via Screen Time restrictions or moved to folders. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps and make sure Weather or related apps are allowed.

3. Look for App Store Installation Status: Open the App Store and search for the app by name. If you see "Open" instead of "Get" or a download button, it means the app is installed but may be hidden or off-screen.

4. Reset Home Screen Layout: If the app is lost in some hidden folder or off-screen, you can reset the layout. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. This resets your home page arrangement and can bring back missing icons.

5. Check if the app has been removed from the App Store: Sometimes apps are removed by developers or Apple due to updates or discontinuations. If you can't find Weather@Home in the App Store at all, it could have been removed permanently. Unfortunately, in that case, you won’t be able to reinstall it if deleted.

6. Use an alternative weather app: If this app has been removed, you might want to try Apple's built-in Weather app or popular third-party ones like The Weather Channel or AccuWeather.

If you've already checked these or the app still doesn't show, can you tell me if you remember deleting or updating the app recently? Also, did you try restarting your iPhone?

I’m here to help you get your weather info back smoothly! Let me know how these steps go.

For reference, Apple’s official guide on this can be found here: If you can't find an app on the Home Screen on your iPhone 1 and community discussions about disappearing weather apps provide similar help 2.
