-1 * for maps on phone & watch
WU: My two cents-worth on an otherwise excellent app.
1. Your iPhone maps show precip/storms with VERY vague edges and loose opacity differentiation… especially compared to other major weather apps. They'd me MUCH friendlier if they were tightened up.
2. The watch map covers FAR too large an area to be useful. Please consider narrowing the image to no more than a 50 mile radius from the specified/followed location. Sitting in the NC Triad, I really don't need – or want – to see ~25 miles north of Roanoke to ~50 miles south of Charlotte. The watch will always be more of a tactical tool for "right now" information whereas the app on the iPhone/iPad should be capable of performing both tactical & strategic roles. If I'm looking at my watch I really am only wanting to know if I'm going to get rained/snowed on in the next two hours so information beyond that scope. Pairing this with my comment above about the need for definition on a map, it's rather pointless to (try to) display a small impulse of rain down on a map measuring ~30 cm x 30 cm that has a scale of 500 miles x 500 miles that also can't be zoomed.
3. Your Storm app is the best free weather app on the App Store (as recommended to me by a professional meteorologist who is employed by a major American sports organization) so I hope that my comments will help bring your main app up to the standard achieved by its sister peace. Thank you for considering my thoughts!
A Solid and Typically Accurate Forecast
The best part of this app is the radar. We can predict, nearly to the minute, when we will have rain. Living in the boonies of the Big Island, its helpful to know when we need to put our tools away and avoid being drenched.
Our micro climates make it difficult to predict the weather accurately. The forecast is for the only town of any size, which is 30 miles away and in a different climate zone. But with the radar, we have the tools to know what it will do at our home.
I frequently travel internationally and the data is not as accurate, but does provide us with a reasonable idea of what the day will bring.
The price to remove the ads is reasonable and applies to all of our devices.
Good, reliable data. Thanks.
Full-Featured and Pretty
To me, when it comes to weather apps, it's all about presentation. Data is data; its usefulness is in how efficiently it is transmitted to the user. That makes this app a winner. It presents a huge amount of weather information on a clean, appealing interface. All the standard weather info - including radar - is right there on the main view or at most one tap away. Forecasts are available in a variety of concise graphical formats and timescales. The app itself is quite customizable to suit various tastes and preferences. My only minor gripe was the presence of ads on the free version, but I found the rest of the app so effective that the fee to remove them was well worth it.
