Beste Wetter-App im Vergleich zu vielen anderen

Die Ansichten, die Bedingung und die Genauigkeit sind oberste Liga. Was mir persönlich noch fehlen würde, wäre ein MacBook-Version.
Ich kann sie jedem nur empfehlen!
Hier bin ich auch gerne bereit, das Update anzuschließen.
Danke an den Entwickler!

Sehr zufrieden

Eine Wettervorhersage ist schwierig und die dieser App ist nicht schlechter oder besser als andere, da immer abhängig von den Wettermodellen.

Besser ist allerdings die Darstellung, die stetige Weiterentwicklung, die fairen Abogebühren und der sympathische Entwickler.

Téléchargement par hasard et super présentation des données meteoblue (leur app est illisible). Très bien réalisée !

Can’t get past the page urging upgrade

I don’t want the upgrades and I can’t seem to get rid of the screen that’s blocking any weather information urging me to upgrade

Please send me an email to mail@sonuby.com, I would like to help you fix the problem. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I'm sure we're going to solve the issue! Julian

The absolute best forecart app for skydiving

I have been using Sonuby for a couple of months, and I am thoroughly impressed. The user interface is very clear and polished, providing the user with all the necessary information at a glance. The app receives data from multiple forecasts, making it quite accurate—something I’ve verified repeatedly. The updates are also frequent and don’t seem to negatively affect the app (much better than most apps…). This app offers excellent value to users, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I'm really happy to hear about your positive experience with Sonuby, and I'll do my best to make it even better. Reviews like this make all the effort worthwhile! :) Julian

Too many ads now

When this app came out just with an advertising banner at the bottom of the app, it was great, and I was happy using it - but every update seems to creep more flavours of advertising in. Now you can’t navigate far without a full-page video ad playing (you know the ones for P2W games or bad puzzle games that are tricky to close) and there was a big list of ad partners to accept. There are enough weather apps out there to choose that don’t do this I can use - Meteoblue’s own app offers the identical weather data and more features on the free tier. For free users or privacy conscious users I don’t think this is the app anymore - which is probably no loss to the developer anyway. Premium might still be useful for UAV/Surf specific weather.

Superb

I am blown away by this app, rarely do I simple reach immediately to subscribe to something but this is so good value for money…. I’d love to see alerts for say clear skies and sunrise for a location so I could be alerted to get up and go take pics.

Well done it’s a superb app.

Ridiculous Lifetime Price

I have several lifetime weather apps and was interested in this one, but this costs more than all of the other weather apps I have used combined. Insane to charge $120 for a freaking weather app.

Response from developer

Update: I’ve reduce the lifetime price to 89$ in the meantime. Thank you for your honest feedback! I'm a solo developer, and the $120 helps me cover ongoing costs and future updates over the long term. I totally get that the price feels high. Weather apps are often used for many years, which means the running costs last longer. I also occasionally reduce the price for a short time, so maybe that could be interesting for you.

Spettacolare!!!

Bellissima e attendibilissima 👏👏👏

Very well furnished and customisable for personal interests and activities

I think my title says everything. This is a fully comprehensive and very detailed app, customisable to offer information prioritised to your own hobby or just left on the default setting. It is also, in my experience, very accurate. I have had many weather apps and for a few years have settled on taking an average from four which I have kept. It was put onto this app by a professional photographer, Ian Worth and since installing it, I have not consulted the others.

TOP !

Die App ist sehr schön und auch ziemlich genau beim Wetter vorhersagen. Habe früher jahrelang Weather Pro benutzt.
Mir fehlt noch die Apple Watch App.

Für mich die neue GoTo Wetter App

Seit dem letzten Unwetter habe ich nur noch die Apple Wetter App (wegen der Watch App und den Compilations), sowie Sonuby drauf. Die Vorhersage war mal wieder perfekt und mit am genausten. Das Echtzeitradar stimmt auch immer zu 98%. Support ist klasse, schnelle Antworten und auch Ideen finden ein Gehör (Betatest).

Ich bin gespannt auf die kommenden Features und Updates 🤞

Im Fact, Sonuby hat bei mir Foreca, DWD, Mercury Weather und Weathergraph final abgelöst.

Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass Sonuby dir so gute Ergebnisse liefert, vielen Dank für deine Rezension! :) Eine Apple Watch Variante wird es in Zukunft auch geben, ich kann jedoch noch nicht abschätzen wann ich dazu kommen werde. Viele Grüße, Julian

Sonuby Weather App

One of the absolute best weather apps available. I’ve tried a lot over the years and this is top notch. Being able to tailor it to your needs and liking is also great. Feels and looks like the high end app it is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Response from developer

First of all, thank you for being a subscriber, I really appreciate it! The new terms & conditions do not introduce anything that affects your existing purchase or usage - they were just extended due to the new lifetime option and updated trial period for subscriptions, which required a few sections to be updated for legal compliance. I hope this clarifies things and I’ll try to be more transparent about the changes if they need to be updated again in the future.

Sehr schöner Meteoblue-Frontend

Die App hat sich im Laufe der Zeit gut entwickelt und da Meteoblue seine Abopreise deutlich angehoben hat, kann Sonuby als Premium-App jetzt im PLV locker davonziehen und bekommt bei mir einen Einjahresversuch. Die Widgets sind schonmal erste Sahne und ein Wunsch für die Zukunft wäre eine AppleWatch-App samt Komplikationen. Ich würde sogar Lifetime kaufen, damit habe ich schon viele Wetterprogrammierer unterstützt. Aber bei 60 Euro liegt meine Schmerzgrenze. Ansonsten danke für die sehr schöne App!

Flugwetter-Vorhersage

Eine tolle Ergänzung und der erste Blick auf die Vorhersage, bevor du fliegen gehst.

Best weather app

I'm a longtime Weather Pro user, and I've switched. This is the most accurate and usable weather forecast app. If you're interested in detailed forecasts for your hobby, this is the app for you.

TOP❗️TOP❗️TOP❗️

Magico Meteoblu che coniuga i dati di diversi fornitori di servizi meteo, fornendo una previsione ponderata molto affidabile soprattutto sulle zone montane, grafica estremamente curata, gradevole e di facile lettura, ampie possibilità di personalizzazione tanto della schermata principale quanto dei numerosi widget disponibili, interessante e innovativa la possibilità di scegliere tra varie modalità di visualizzazione (vita quotidiana, escursionismo, vela, ecc.) a seconda dell’utilizzo, fruibile tanto per un veloce sguardo sull’oggi quanto per un’accurata disamina a livello (semi)professionale per l’arrampicata di dopodomani…); ho immediatamente sottoscritto l’abbonamento annuale a un prezzo assolutamente congruo! Chapeau!!!
