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. ### 1/5 — Ouch *2024-10-17* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Ouch *2024-10-14* This is not a weather app!

Hate the… *2024-11-07* …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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 2/5 — Well... *2024-11-04* You sure don't get much for free. For what little you get free, there's no point keeping it. **Developer response:** 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 $$ ### 2/5 — Love the format! Hate the… *2024-10-25* …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. ### 3/5 — Reasonable but flawed *2024-10-06* Annoying is asking for constant rating. Doesn’t always use current location. **Developer response:** sorry, I noticed the same, I fixed the bug and now it's not annoying as before ### 4/5 — Really Liking This DS *2024-11-14* 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! **Developer response:** I made this for my wife, I honestly haven't polished the radar, but I promise I will soon... ### 4/5 — Really Liking This DS *2024-11-09* The more I use it the more I like it.

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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2024-10-20* Just what I needed. ### 5/5 — Review *2024-10-14* Very exciting app really ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-10-14* Perfect ### 5/5 — Super at first look *2024-10-14* At first look and try, this is a great looking weather app. To use for quick info. Looking forward to seeing more. ### 5/5 — Reminds me of Dark Sky *2024-09-19* This app reminds me of Dark Sky. It’s great, simple and effective weather app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
