A good start, but not worth paying for

I like the start to the UI, but that’s really all it seemed like : a starting point.
It doesn’t fully fit on one screen and the UI isn’t intuitive.
Of course I compare everything to how wonderful Dark Sky was, so maybe that’s not fair. But this really isn’t worth paying for yet. Seems more like a first draft.

Good

Easy

Saved Locations

How do we save locations so we don’t need to re-key to check our other repeat locations?

Response from developer

I have not implemented that, I'll implement that in the next version

didn’t load

I had this app sitting on for phone loading for about 30 minutes and it never loaded. This is terrible. Once it did open the UI was pretty good.

Response from developer

I’ll take the blame. Initially I built this app for me only as the Apple weather app sucks, I didn’t put a lot of effort or expected people to like it but apparently a lot of people do. I’ll work on it this weekend to fix that issue you’re seeing

Love the ease of using this app

Doesn’t work well

Many times this app defaults to “somewhere” and will not let you search an actual location, so it is fairly useless. I would say this happens at least 69% of the time.

Response from developer

I’m sorry this happened to you. I pushed a recent update recently to fix this issue. If this happen again send me an email to naticio@icloud.com

Nice to have something that's clear and simple, that works well.

Nicely done.

1) the temperature is listed in feels-like;
present temp in feels-like and F or C. I find that (now) I find the feels-like more to my liking.

2) if rain is imminent a graph of time vs intesity is displayed.

3) A dark cloud icon appears in the bottom left of the screen. When pressed it displays a gps map of the terrain and weather at your location - when zoomed it displays ground features with the highest resolution I have ever seen.

The animation is subtle but useful, and can be refreshed by changing zoom levels.

I love the simplicity of this app.

Response from developer

thanks for the kind words. I'm working to improve the animation of the clouds (which is surprisingly difficult, now I understand why Apple struggled with this). if you have a feature you'd like to see send me an email

Great !

It’s great, so simple to check the weather

Is This A Joke?

Installed app... opened it up, attempted to scroll through the information and the app crashed. It crashed every time I touched it to do anything and THEN told me I had already checked the weather 10 times and had to either 1) wait until tomorrow or 2) pay money. This app should be reported and removed.
