Missed you Dark Sky

Stupid simple weather app

Seems like a scam

Asks to start a trial subscription when you initially open the app, don’t do it. Not actually a trial, you get charged right away with no way to redeem your 18$, app is very basic and lots of things you click do nothing. Also the satellite view does nothing. Just shows a map with no information. Also i found this app from a instagram ad of mkbhd saying this is his favorite weather app. Realizing now that it was an ai fake.

Love the design

Love the design of the app. Tge information given is extremely accurate. I give it 4 stars is due to its radar. It’s very basic. Just a map that is active. Can’t go back or forward to see exactly when rain will come. You have to have it on a loop.

thanks, keep in mind I made this for my wife, so I made it in a rush and I have not had time to work more in the radar, weather apps are REALLY difficult to make! it kicked my butt for a while, I'll work on it as soon as I have more time, thanks for your patience

Really Liking This DS

The more I use it the more I like it. It’s deceptively simple looking. Has all the info you want right away but if you start clicking around you find some added info and graphs. Radar has been a little spotty though. Choppy is a better word maybe. And I don’t recall ever seeing a notification. I think it’s still pretty new so I’m hoping things change in future updates. Fingers crossed because it’s a sweet weather app!

I made this for my wife, I honestly haven't polished the radar, but I promise I will soon...

Love the format! Hate the…

…insistence on using GPS. I know how to enter a ZIP Code or city, you do not need my exact location. If this persists I. The next update I will delete the app.

Update: I am happy to use a slightly more generalized reading in order to preserve my privacy. I allow few apps to have my precise GPS location, and this app though quite attractive and useful is not getting my precise location, ever.

Response from developer

the exact location is needed to provide the weather to your exact location, does it repeatedly ask you to share your location? send me an email to fermavena@gmail.com and I'll help you, I just need to understand more

Well...

You sure don't get much for free. For what little you get free, there's no point keeping it.

Response from developer

what would you like to see for free? you get the weather for free, I cannot offer the radar for free because that costs me $$

Excellent!!

Just what I needed.

Ouch

This is not a weather app! No details of forecast. No radar, no future radar, no UV, just a daily look. Need to go back to the drawing board or remove app totally. 👎👎👎

So I get a response. I will agree the UV is there. Yes the radar is there if you want to pay $36.00 a year. There are plenty of true “free” apps that don’t t charge for radar.

By the way I am not a competitor, just someone who looks at things closely and does not want to get ripped off by companies or apps trying to say one thing and doing another.

The forecast is in the main view. The radar is on the bottom left corner the UV is in the UV button in the middle of the app I suspect this is a competitor just trying to trash this app which I made for free to help hurricane victims in the USA

Review

Very exciting app really

Great app

Perfect

Super at first look

At first look and try, this is a great looking weather app. To use for quick info. Looking forward to seeing more.

Reasonable but flawed

Annoying is asking for constant rating. Doesn’t always use current location.

Response from developer

sorry, I noticed the same, I fixed the bug and now it's not annoying as before

Reminds me of Dark Sky

This app reminds me of Dark Sky. It’s great, simple and effective weather app
