Customer Reviews
Great App!
I am very happy that I bought this app.
1.The graphics are rich and beautiful and the weather information comes up very fast.
2.The GPS function works great -- it automatically found where I was and displayed that weather information first, including showing radar for my area in the mini screen.
3. I can see the weather information displayed on the entire large screen just by turning my phone sideways.
4. I can see the whole country if I want and double-tap on other locations on the map that interest me and zoom in. It is very responsive.
5.The trend graphs are very nicely done, I can see what future weather is coming with just a glance and the handsome icon tells me the rest with just a glance.
Excellent design, very fast and I can customize it for what interests me. Very pleased, well worth the money.
Almost worth it
Pros:
- Detailed forecast
- Detailed and quick radar
- Uses GPS to find local weather
- 6-day forecast
Cons:
- Cannot search by zip code for favorite cities (this is stupid not to include)
- Some people may not like the graph forecast rather than text (I like it)
- No radar loops (yet)
Comparison:
- WeatherBug has problems loading the radar and does not provide as good of a forecast (3 days versus 6). The main display page on WeatherBug is awful. Why make a page you have to scroll down on as default? Why do they dedicate 50% of the page to wind direction - which most people ignore - and make you scroll to see the forecast.
- Apple (Yahoo) default weather is awful. No radar, no forecast - I wish I could delete it.
Great app.
As others have commented the two issues that seem to be ones I'd like to see fixed (display city name and state) and looping radar are on the way - got a note from the developers. Rotating the phone gives you the entire screen as a radar map - very nice touch! Plus you can zoom in and out (from US all the way down to the street. This means I can replace my 3 different radar windows with 1. The trends feature is cool too. If you are considering purchasing, it is well worth it. The low scores seemed to mostly be misunderstanding how to use the app or things that should be addressed shortly.
