User reviews

Great app. And it’s back!

I’ve loved this app since it first came out. Great, clear design.

Unfortunately, I’m experiencing a rare clear sunny October day in Chicago, so the app doesn’t have much to show. I find myself weirdly hoping for rain…!

Great! Rebooted after 10 years.

This app has so many thoughtful features - like a scroll bar that shows you times vs radar pictures with the ability to scroll forward or backward and stop at any point. A settable grid of weather stats, and very easy to understand daily and hourly status screens.

This app was relaunched after 10 years - so any old reviews are not looking at the same thing!

Not accurate

I like the design, but it's horribly inaccurate.

Previously popular app now abandoned?

Hasn't been updated in a while. Bugs aplenty. Abandoned?

Great app. Proof-of-life update would be nice.

I’ve loved this app since it first came out. Great design and layout, clear, and highly accurate (at least for me in Chicago, it’s always dead on).

I do have to occasionally check to make sure the developer is still supporting it; it goes years without updates. Granted, it's power is in its simplicity, and adding features might not be a good idea. But maybe support for peek and poke? Or something to let us know they're still there ;-)
