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 ;-)

Inaccurate weather on app

I live in Durham, NC & we are experiencing extreme weather, which includes thunder & lightening & heavy rain. Your app has cloudy icons?
Please fix!

Used to be great

I love the clean interface and features of this app and have used it for years. Unfortunately the reliability of it being able to retrieve weather data has become highly questionable. When I start the app to see what the weather forecast is, it only works about 50% of the time. The other half it spins and spjns and times out, unable to get the info needed. I've sent these concerns to the developer who blamed it on their data provider. Until this is fixed, there are better weather apps to spend your money on. A weather app without weather data isn't much use.

Not so accurate

Great user interface but rarely accurate, particularly on the rain forecast. When it merely says overcast expect it to include rain. And not sure what their criteria are but light rain us pretty darn heavy...

Great app

Definitely recommend it

My Favorite Weather App

I have lots of weather apps and always come back to Check the Weather. It has all the information I need beautifully presented. It loads quickly and has a useful widget. It has a radar map fueled by Dark Sky. In sum, this is a lean, mean weather app. Highly recommended.

Works great

Works well and has replaced a number of other apps for quick checks of the weather.

Pretty good but not my favorite

This is one of the better weather widgets I have found but not my favorite. I was using it for a while but found one I liked even better.

The latest update seems to have lost the current conditions. They are no longer there and now it's just the forecast. I want a widget that shows both the current conditions as well as the five day forecast.

I do wish the forecast showed the % chance of precipitation.

Graphics are great and fits nicely on the Notification Center screen.

I do wish there was the ability to customize what info is shown and how it looks. The app I prefer over this one allows for lots of customization.

Wish the label said "Weather" at the top instead of "Check the Weather" on the widget.

The temperature for my location tends to be off by several degrees compared to actual temperature and other apps I've tried. Not sure why that is. I'm guessing whatever weather station it pulls the info from is not close enough to my location. The other app that I prefer over this one tells you the location of the weather station so I know I'm getting the most accurate info possible.

Anyway, I guess this would be my second favorite weather widget. I'll keep watching what improvements are made in the future but currently it's lost its spot on my notification screen in favor of another app.

Quick, clear and awesome

You’re heading out. Cold enough for a coat? Raining later? Open Check the Weather and you’ll know in a single glance.

This is the clearest, quickest, most beautiful weather app out there.

Out and about with your phone? Swipe to the right for hourly forecasts, to the left for the week ahead.

Sitting comfortably with your iPad? It’s all in one beautiful screen. Just swipe along the temperature line for an hour-by-hour look at today’s weather.

It’s that simple. You’ll love it.

Naja...

Widget halbwegs ok, aber nicht konfigurierbar.

Vorhersage ist gerade mal wieder total falsch. meldet strahlenden Sonnenschein und draussen ist es bewölkt und regnet.

So bringt das nix 😕

Simple, And Elegant

Love the simple elegance, with just the right amount of detail. The fact it's universal is a bonus.

Best Weather App

Simple to see current conditions and what’s coming up. The rain predictions are always spot-on.
A smaller Today View Widget would be nice.

Great app essential for any Homescreen

My favourite Weather has been updated and includes a widget.
Would be great if the current temperature was display by badge on the application icon.

Totaler Schrott!

Selbst 0,89 € sind für den Müll noch zu viel!

Love it on my iPhone crashes on iPad mini

The iPhone version runs great and is an app I check often. The iPad version crashes on launch despite many attempts to re download, delete and reboot the iPad mini.

Très moyenne pour le prix

Je suis fan du développeur, David Smith, mais je suis très déçu cette fois.
Longue à se charger la première fois et les fonctions sont très limitées.
Quand à l'interface, je ne suis pas fan.
Par rapport au prix, il existe de nombreuses app gratuites ou beaucoup moins chère. Je pense à celle de Yahoo notamment.
