Best visuals of weather
If you can add radar it would get extra star :)clearbrian
The best, as long as you only need a forecast
Compared to other weather apps, this one shows you so little. It's pared down to just about the absolute minimum a weather app could be. And yet it shows you everything you need to see. The temperature, cloudiness, precipitation, and wind for the next several hours (scrollable) and for the week. There is no need to interpret or drill down into the app’s UI; data is shown so clearly that from the moment you open the app, there's almost no need to scroll, tap, zoom, or do anything else to get at the weather data you want. The minimalist design lets the data shine through to the maximum extent possible, and it's beautiful. There is, however, one thing it doesn't show, and that's the current conditions. You get temperature, wind, and humidity, but not whether it's currently precipitating, what kind of precipitation, and how much. I feel like it's pretty important to know what's going on right now (not even for the next hour -- just literally right now) but Weather Strip only provides the forecast, which is not quite as good. That said I still love this app and plan to make it my primary weather app; it's just a shame it can't be my *only* weather app.Show lessRichardDaniels
Best Overall Weather App for IOS!
OK, let me say up front that I was a die hard Dark Sky user right up until the end. I remain a fan and daily user of the Dark Sky enhanced Apple Weather app too. I’m even amused by Carrot Weather. Weather Strip, however, has become my go to daily driver for weather related life planning. The ability to take in the upcoming 7 day forecast at a glance and see the actual profiles of temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, and more evolve over time is elegant, intuitive, and viscerally informative. Well worth the modest subscription cost and a great asset in your weather awareness arsenal. Highly recommended.Show lessOutlawJoe

Weather Strip’s timeline is the perfect way to see all of the most important weather information quickly and enjoyably. I hope the developer brings this innovative interface to the Apple Watch soon!pinto32
Simple, useful
I’m really enjoying this app so far. I was looking for an app that presents NWS data in a thoughtful design, and this fits the bill. The only feature it seems to be lacking so far is weather alert notifications. Any chance you’ll add that?Henry Chinaski
My Only App Subscription
Perfectly glanceable with tons of information; simple but perfectly customizable interface; great weather alert visualization. Weather Strip made me understand which parts of weather actually impact my life. (I LOVE tracking dew point, cloud cover, and sunrise/sunset with it!) I loath paying subscriptions, so it means a lot to say that Weather Strip is the only app listed in my subscriptions. My highest recommendation.Show lesspetergrohs
Brilliant!
Weather data is fairly standard across most apps - what sets this app apart is the way the data is displayed. All data points are immediately visible and easily understood with no additional ‘clicking’.Phil9595
Intuitive, Beautiful, Efficient
What a beautifully designed, effective, visual approach to showing the current and forecasted weather in a way that is intuitive and lets you quickly get a true sense of what the day(s) ahead will be like. There are loads of details available too, at a glance, without the need for a whole lot of poking around and clicking as in some other apps. But the magic is in the well thought out interactive visualization that blends display of raw data with a representation of what the data actually means. Really nice job, a tour de force actually.
(I guess the one good thing about Apple planning to kill off the much loved Dark Sky app for their mush less usable Weather app is that it led me to discover this effective and enjoyable alternative.)Show lessDan~in~Boston

What a beautifully designed, effective, visual approach to showing the current and forecasted weather in a way that is intuitive and lets you quickly "grep" (get a true sense of) what the day(s) ahead will be like.
