  Updated rating and review

  I’ve come back to this app after living with some others for quite awhile. I had faulted a previous version for not providing (or so I thought) information on the amount of precipitation expected. But one of the two selectable weather providers does (at least now) provide that information, which is very helpful, especially in an hourly forecast. This app has some great features that most other apps don’t, like the real time temperature in the app’s icon. And the customization possible in the radar/map display goes beyond Weather Underground’s Storm in many ways. I wish it could display weather fronts, and I wish the app gave access to the National Weather Service’s forecaster discussion, but even without those this app is probably the best there is for weather nerds. New users should seek out the online manual on the designer’s website here. There’s a lot of power here that is easy once you find it, but not immediately apparent.

  Changed artwork & animation

  I’ve had this app over seven years. It was excellent and I recommended to several people. Now, it appears to me that they lost their designer or artist and they took their artwork with them. The background looks like a low resolution dated light blue clipart bubble-ish template. NOT SKY or CLOUD looking AT ALL.- It is the background even when it’s raining.?? The only other options are 2 dark blue screens, both so dark it looks like night, or black! The clouds also now have solid black edging’s that look like a grade school student colored it. When in the world you ever see a dark solid black outline on clouds when you look in the sky? I have my animations and settings set correctly, so that is not the issue. Pretty much any weather app can get the accurate statistics, so the animation is key. This is so visually unappealing now compared to what it used to be that I am deleting it, even after buying it a SECOND time because I thought the animations were not working due to sharing a newly added family account (years ago used same Microsoft ID) -they were so stagnant and different from what it used to be I was sure that was the reason. I had emailed the designer and heard nothing back … and loved it so much prior, I actually purchased it a second time under a different Microsoft account. STUPID me - wasted $4. Jumping to another more appealing app.

  My Go-to Forecast

  We live in the country in North Texas where weather can change quickly, so current radar & forecasts are imperative. I use this app on both my iPhone & my iPad. It provides all I need I for this area, plus the same kind of info for cities where our grown kids live. When we plan a trip to a different part of the country, I temporarily add that location weeks before so we know what to expect. The graphics are incredible, & the data to back them up is rich & as accurate as your local TV forecast. Weather warnings, recent earthquakes, tides, & Amber alerts are also available. Options allow you to customize what you see & hear. I can't think of anything they haven't thought of! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the occasional lack of consistency between the main page with forecasts for the next several days plus all the stats for moon phase, hours of daylight, etc., & the next page showing long or short (your choice) descriptions of the forecast. Those used to be in sync, but recently they don’t always appear to be updated with the same forecast as the main page. If that were fixed, I don’t think there would be anything left to make it perfect.

  My fave weather app

  When I show it to others, they want it. Got it for the progressed barometer readings for the day - useful to figure out if yr migraines are triggered by pressure changes. Pretty accurate on when precip is expected. And can check weather in surrounding areas. Lovely graphics organized on the screen. International earthquake alerts for those interested in, like, the world. Keep track of weather in foreign countries I'd like to visit. Loads pretty quick too. U probly need this. HOWEVER-- update: I recently find that the report of the actual current weather is not at all accurate. It can be pouring outside and this app says it's cloudy. In other words, it's not up to the minute. So looking out the window will have to do for that, but it means I may not be able to trust the current temp reading. My other apps, AccuWeather and The Weather Channel provide good real time reports. A year later I find the reports are still not quite current in my area. But the general forecast seems close enough. Love the layout tho. Nice graphics. Very quick to navigate thru features. Doesn’t have videos like Accuweather and Weather Channel tho - but those are often slow to load anyway and guzzle battery.

  Best Weather App on iOS

  I have been using this weather app for years & it’s always been great & after the update, it’s tops! The only reason I gave a 4 star rating & not a 5 is because in my area most of the time when the pollution gets up to moderate or severe, the section on the app that shows which type of pollution is high & how high it is says pollution data not available when I click it on the radar map. I’ve also noticed that in bigger cities & other areas it has more informative info on most of the other types of pollution & my area only has the PM 2.5 & O3 . This just might be the type of monitoring equipment there is in my area, but it doesn’t explain why it seems it’s always unavailable when it gets bad here. Just strange. I have asthma & I have come to rely on this info to tell me what types of pollution trigger my attacks, as well as the health alerts, & I can’t thank the developers enough for supplying this info in an easy to use weather app. So, thanks again, & if you could figure out why it seems to cut out when the pollution gets bad, & maybe add the other types of pollutants, (if possible), you will get your 5 star review. Thanks again & keep up the good work.
