Leave a Review Weather Strip
Best glanceable weather visualization
Thanks for the best visualization for near and mid term weather. With lots of detail showing hourly info over multiple days.
Two requests to make it even better:
- a widget for the Home Screen would be perfect and constantly used
- enhanced support for quickly switching between multiple locations of interest.Show lessKracken......
Great promise
I liked this enough to subscribe for a year. It’s one of a kind but definitely still has room for improvement.
Two features I would like to see are easier switching of saved locations and (some) history on the visualization. Right now if the map is zoomed in in the wrong spot it’s way too hard to switch. On the history front, it isn’t even very easy to go backwards and look at the current day. That’s a must! Preferably I’d love to have about a week of history included in the visualization.Show lessLPatient

Good news! Weather Strip now lists all your saved locations so it is much easier to switch between them with a tap.If Weather Line were good or affordable
This is the app I’ve been looking for. If you just need NOAA data in the US presented in an easy to read in minimalist format, at an affordable price, this is the one you should be downloading.
I would be willing to pay more for a version with a widget.JDRM1982
My new favorite for weather, radar and widgets please!
I’ve tried just about every weather app it seems like and the way the information in Weather Strip is presented beats them all. I do keep two other weather apps still on my phone but only for radar. If you added radar I would finally be able to delete the others.
My two suggestions for Weather Strip are:
1. a radar screen of some sort, I I find it very useful to be able to see the radar in conjunction with the other information
2. If you could make widgets for iPhone presenting this information as beautifully as it is in the app I would be sold forever.
Great job on the app I am a subscriber now thanks!Show lessinsanitylater
Great, but inaccurate
The concept behind the app is great, however the information it displays is inaccurate for my location. For years I have used Dark Sky which takes a hyper-local approach to forecasts. This is necessary for anything approaching accuracy in San Francisco which is known for its micro climates that can vary wildly from one side of the city to the other. It looks like Weather Strip is giving me a forecast for the eastern side of the city, which is completely useless if you live on the west side where the sun rarely shines in the summer months. As I write this, I am surrounded by fog and dense clouds, however the app tells me that there is 50 percent cloud cover.Show lessZipMatter

The latest version of Weather Strip now includes an additional data provider (Foreca, ranked as one of the most accurate worldwide) so hopefully that will be an improvement in your location.Pretty inaccurate
I’ve wrote a review before noting that I was getting rained on by heavy rain and the app didn’t change status at all and I’ve been completely dry and hot outside with the app telling me 65% rain and heavy rain. I like the look and flow of the app but ultimately I can’t use this on its own or rely on it for accurate, right now, weather. I have now passed my free trial and can’t even hang around to see if it gets better. Although cheap, I can’t allow myself another in app purchase for something that I can’t say actually brings me any value.Show lessAdamWillis
Slide into your forecasts
My trial ended today. Easy decision to go yearly with this excellent visual representation of weekly forecasts. Weather dot gov offers a decent two-day view I had used for quite a while, until recommended this app. Simple display, unit preferences, and clearly informative all at once.GikiTunes
Beautiful, extremely well-designed app
Not only is this beautiful to look at; it's also extremely well-designed. And by that I mean that it's super quick and easy to get the full picture of the upcoming forecast at just a glance. It's densely packed with temps, UV index, cloud cover, sunrise/sunset, chance of rain and thunderstorms, heat advisories and the like. Words cannot describe how wonderfully and beautifully this app displays weather information.Show lessjoshuatbrown
Delightful Weather App!
Lots of information in an easy to use app. One thing I’d like to see added is the ability to have two customizable data fields rather than just the one Humidity/Dew Point/Feels like. You can easily fit two data points in that space.
Also, for $3.99 per year I’d really like the option to choose a different data source than NOAA ala Carrot Weather.Show lessLightsout565
Excellent
Having tried all the well regarded weather apps, it took about a minute for this to become my favorite. Everything you want to know is presented in a clear, easily navigable one-screen view. A widget and radar would make it perfect.
One other disadvantage to this app that I didn’t realize at first is that it really is ONLY a forecast. There’s no real time weather info, so if you live in an area as I do where it’s not uncommon for unpredictable storms to drop the temp 10 or 15 degrees, it does get quite off in those situations. Still a great app, I just have a local stations app as backup for radar and real-time info on such days.Show lessatx9999

Good news — Weather Strip now includes widgets! It also now has an additional forecast provider (Foreca) with frequent updates and much improved short-term accuracy.
