Leave a Review Living Earth
update.... (was: did this app bite the dust?)
UPDATE: Turns out they took away the hamburger clues in “Edit” mode, but if you happen to accidentally tap and hold in the exact precise correct spot, then you can still rearrange cities. I’m not psychic and hate guessing-games with apps, but at least I can still do what I need to. So up to four stars again now, but sadly, down from five.
PREVIOUS REVIEW: Wow, this was such a great app. It was one of the very few apps I used every day, for years, on my old iPad. I had many, many cities. And I could rearrange them any way I wanted in “Edit”mode. Unfortunately, on my new iPad running iOS 14, I can’t rearrange my cities in a useful order. Now, I only have five or six cities because I can’t arrange them at all. They are in the order added, and that is not the order I want. I can’t use the app in a way that is meaningful unless they fix this. Here’s hoping I don’t have to update this review to say that I deleted it. Will hope for an update soon. P.S. for the developer - I made no attempt to sync the old machine with the new. I simply downloaded this app from the App Store to this new machine, and started fresh by adding a few cities. That’s how I found out that the cities are now glued to the list at the point when I added them, and cannot be rearrranged.Show lessBlue Pine
Simple, Useful and Beautiful Design
Love the thought that has gone in to designing this app. Weather doesn’t need constant updates which means of you are off the grid it shows the most recent updated information. By far the best app for keeping track of different time zones and adds local weather information to boot. Bargain at the price.
Request for the developer - would it possible to add an update so the widget could be pinned to the home screen? Thank you.Show lessc00|
Living Earth
One of the best apps of its kind, if not the greatest. It’s not only incredibly beautiful, with the ever changing views of our precious home planet, it’s useful too. You can monitor sunlight angles, in all gradations on through nighttime and the patterns of artificial lighting as manifested in all the regions of the globe. Time and temperatures for most cities, weather events such as storms are also tracked, all in an elegant format that’s easy to use. Superb!Show lessGail Eva

I was looking for a weather app after my unsupported version of Weather channel stopped working. I checked every single weather app in the Apple store and was totally disgusted with artless cheap designs and bullying into buying subscriptions. And then l found Living Earth by chance through my old SkyView app. That was like a breath of fresh air. Fully functional, eye- pleasing, entertaining and accurate. Many thanks to the creator(s) of this wonderful thing!!Show less9042671
Great app
I have had this app for years now and I find myself going to it daily. It has just the right amount of reliable info and easy, uncluttered UI to make it my go to weather app for a quick look at current conditions anywhere in the world. It is AWESOME! Love this app!! One of my top 5 useful apps for sure! Worth the money. Get it!
Two things I'd like to see though would be the ability to zoom in closer on the world as well as live radar! Add that and this would be perfectGreat app! Good job!
...Still pretty good but the temperature badge shuts off every update and you have to go turn it on again which is annoying. I still love you thoShow lessSCHIN
I always check the time and weather on my Fam
I dig this app, because it’s so easy to see where everybody else is at AND it’s accurate AF.
Our offices are underground- come lunch time we have no idea if we need sunglasses or an umbrella. I love being able to say - “nah, no showers until 4:00” or “grab your coat.”
Also, I like to keep tabs on weather in Santa Cruz, Vegas, The City and LA. When we go to Maui - it’s so cool to be able to decide which beach by best weather Big Beach or Kaanapali? Kihei or Paia?
Also, I have sisters in Spain, France, and Mom and sis in North Carolina and friends all over including Philippines and Colombia.
O like to check their weather and I like to double check the time before I call.
One more thing. It shows sunrise and sunset- which REALLY helps on vacay. Ok 2 more things AND The globe actually shows where the sun is on the earth- so if your just eyeballing, you can see where it’s daylight or not.
I barely right reviews very often- but this app sits on front page top — #3 after only Calendar and Contacts- that’s a freakin’ honored spot on my phone!!!
Good Job Living Earth!!!Show lessmontechavez
This one is enough
For 99% of the literate population, this Wx app is enough. It is informative, straightforward and tasteful in presentation and responsive to user commands — in other words, everything that apps associated with The Weather Channel are not. As a pilot, I have tried scores of phone and tablet Wx apps over the years. This is the one I kept for everyday use. Of course, when I’m flight planning, I need and use many other resources, some of which cost hundreds of dollars a year. But if you’re not a transportation professional, Living Earth will tell you all you really need to know about Wx conditions for your day and week.Show lessLexicosm
Nice app
I like the app. I don’t know how accurate it is but like the interface. I like the feels like temp, but wish it also said the real temp next to that. The custom alarm sound only works if you have the app on (not in the background) but the my phone gets hot and I usually forget to do that anyway. I usually check this app and another to get a more accurate feel of temp. Overall l like the app though.Show lessJustinOring
A lot to like; one critical omission
There’s a lot to like about this app, and I’ve been using it for at least 6 years. After all this time my one complaint still remains: the weather data isn’t quite detailed enough to be helpful when there is a pending weather event. For example, our forecast shows 90% chance of snow but I have to use another app to see if that snow event will yield just flurries or if it’ll be a crippling blizzard. Same with rain; you can see the likelihood of rain when it’s in the forecast but can’t tell if it’ll be drizzle, or torrential rain and flooding, or something in between. Would love the ability to see these details in the weather, even if I have to tap through to a new screen to get it.Show lessJP_Sykes
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your feedback. All fair points and we'll work on adding more data. Feel free to email me at moshen@radiantlabs.io for further thoughts or to try out beta releases when we get more data in the app. Thanks!Keep up the Awesome Job
I've been a big fan of LivingEarth App for many years now. Love being able to get oriented geographically. Love the available of data displayed in a logical and useful way. Whenever I get I chance I would tell all my friends about this beautiful and functionally superb app. I've also purchase several other similar apps, LivingEarth is hands down the best in its class.Show lessBlinkieG
