The app also shows you a map so you can see where you’re going and what the weather will be when you’re driving through. You can plan stops around weather. You can also pick when you’re leaving so it’s not just in real time. I love the app! 💕 ### 5/5 — Great app for planning drives! *2026-10-09, version 12.11.8* I’m a fan and regularly recommend this app for anyone who wants to know about the weather when they are traveling. I have also found the developer to be responsive when I had issues. ### 5/5 — Trucker *2026-10-09, version 12.11.7* Great help ### 5/5 — My favorite *2026-10-08, version 12.11.7* It’s an amazing accurate weather app I highly recommend to anybody it travels across the country. ### 5/5 — Make life easy *2026-10-08, version 12.11.7* The best ### 5/5 — GREAT APP! *2026-10-06, version 12.11.5* Love, love, love this app! Knowing wind conditions along the route keeps us confident and safe in our big boxy motorhome. ### 5/5 — Helpful trip planner *2026-10-05, version 12.11.5* Real time routing and weather updates with a minimal subscription. Excellent aid for truckers ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-10-03, version 12.11.5* I rely on this app for all of my trips ### 2/5 — Too involved in route dates and stops *2026-10-03, version 12.11.5* Not the least bit intuitive. Time-consuming to set up a simple straight forward route with stops. ( too much time ). And heaven forbid you put in a planned route with anticipated date of departure and dare to change the departure date. It will not adjust to the new date. You must recreate from scratch. Good concept with poor execution, not worth the time even were it free. ### 4/5 — Easy to use and mostly accurate. *2026-10-03, version 12.11.5* Saves multiple tracking records by checking each City separately. I like that it does show when rain is on the route. Minor bug that some cities don't show in advance. Only if you are actually in that City ### 5/5 — Great for Travel Planning *2026-10-02, version 12.11.5* Love the App for planning trips. I have used it on several long distant trips and it has helped me determine safest route to take when the weather is questionable. ### 5/5 — Helps avoid bad weather *2026-10-01, version 12.11.2* I use this all the time for storms, snow & ice ### 5/5 — Don’t leave home without it *2026-10-01, version 12.11.2* Drive is invaluable in providing real-time information about your travel routes. ### 5/5 — Great app for RVers *2026-09-30, version 12.11.5* We particularly like the wind gust measurements. This is one of the issues RVs face on the road. ### 5/5 — RV must have *2026-09-29, version 12.11.2* Make sure you have this app before you start your trip. Wind in the western states can be dangerous. I always check the route before I travel. Awesome app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOT FREE! *2026-10-10, version 12.11.8* it’s just a trial of you try to look past one day your trial is over …. BS ### 1/5 — Not user friendly. Asked for Credit Carrd *2026-10-06, version 12.11.7* I am spoiled to a simple CarPlay navigation app that is very user friendly. Navigation with weather overlay would be great and is very appealing. But after 15 minutes trying to load it into my CarPlay and trying to access a free version that didn’t keep asking for a credit card, I gave up and deleted the app. Hopefully they will update this app to be user friendly and make accessing the free version simple. Until then I’ll just continue with my current navigation and weather apps. ### 1/5 — Latest update horrible *2026-09-30, version 12.11.5* The latest update The latest update has ruined map view. You can no longer get north at the top of the map and the orientation is completely messed up and unusable. ### 1/5 — Used to be excellent. I paid for the future forecast *2026-09-20, version 12.11.2* This app no longer does what I need and have used it for over the last few years. We are expecting bad weather including hail tomorrow. I have to drive from central Kansas to southern Wyoming tomorrow for work. I’m trying to figure out the best time to leave. The slider to adjust time you want to leave is gone. And I can’t figure out how to get it back. This app is now useless to me. I will be requesting a refund if it’s not fixed tomorrow, Sunday Sept 20th. For now, hold on to your money. It’s no longer worth it. ### 1/5 — Ask Paxton C. how his customer-service skills are these days. *2026-08-31, version 12.8.0* I’m not here to comment on the technical merits or utility of the app. This review is simply to convey to would-be users / purchasers of their services that if you enjoy tendering money to those who respond to customer messages with snark and dismissive responses, then yes… by all means … use this product and happily pay for it. ### 1/5 — Requires a credit card *2026-08-16, version 12.6.0* Just to register for free version requires a credit card. Why?? No one needs your credit card for a free version of their App, I don’t care that they say it will not be charge if you are using the free version. There is No need for our credit card information. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-08-05, version 12.4.2* Paid Pro version does not work properly on iPhone 8 with IOS v. 16.7.16 . Cannot access either the Presentation menu or the Drive Summary text, despite updating, reloading, rebooting, etc. Very frustrating and a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Completely useless with CarPlay. *2026-06-25, version 12.3.8* You have to use your phone to enter your destinations which completely defeats the purpose of CarPlay. All other map applications let you enter the destination from your CarPlay screen. Could be a good app if it was useful. ### 1/5 — Don’t serve for nothing *2026-06-19, version 12.3.7* Useless ### 1/5 — Only usable if you pay *2026-06-16, version 12.3.7* Unless you pay, you can’t use any and I mean not a thing can be used on this app unless you pay ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-10-23, version 14.1.0* Great for pre trip planning. I love how you can easily change your departure time to avoid weather events. ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2026-10-21, version 14.0.0* Got this App just before a major winter cross-continental drive. It was a huge and accurate help in planning my route to avoid snow storms, high winds and other hazards. Easy to use. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2026-10-20, version 12.11.9* One of the most useful apps I own for trip planning. It is incredible for weather forecasts along any route but also useful for understanding timing along your route. ### 5/5 — Best app for traveling *2026-10-20, version 12.11.9* I hotshot and deliver RV’s and I love this app. It helps me make decisions on the road to avoid the unnecessary. It helps to keep me safe and the developer has answered all my questions and even goes above and beyond to help my technical difficulties. You won’t regret it!!! Update: 11/29/2025 still the best weather/driving app out here. ### 5/5 — Drive Weather *2026-10-18, version 12.11.9* Terrific app-Í love the way Í can check my driving weather up to a week in advance and at various times of the day. Also very handy information is the approximate wind speed and temperature. In my location we have high wind warnings so not always the best time to be on the highway when terribly windy. The temperature helps me know what to pack. I only hope the price does not increase again! If you travel frequently Í guess it is well worth it., ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-10-15, version 12.11.9* Every driving day I check the app. On a few occasions we have changed plans by a day to avoid storms. This app is on my short list of our “favorite travel apps” presentations. ### 5/5 — Owner *2026-10-15, version 12.11.9* Great app ### 5/5 — A Must! *2026-10-12, version 12.11.8* I have been using the Drive Weather app to drive across country and it has given me accurate and descriptive weather, warning us of possible dangers, etc, along with options for lodging. Several occasions, the creator has gotten back to us right away when we had a question about the app. Definitely worth the purchase! I have suggested it to dozens of people. ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2026-10-11, version 12.11.8* I drive a lot, 600-800 mile trips through all types of terrain. This app helps me avoid bad weather and other delays. It’s a game changer! ### 5/5 — Great travel app *2026-10-10, version 12.11.7* I’ve been using Drive Weather a couple of years now. I find it accurate & easy to use. It is Invaluable for wind speed/gusts Driving my high top van. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
