About time..?
All I can say is it about time it was updated because the last one was when the iPhone 5 was launched. It was not working on my iPhone SE and only working on my iPhone 4S. So, what took you so long Developer(s)?!
OS11
Will not work on OS 11. Needs to be updated, otherwise a good program.
Moderate disappointment
Maybe back in 2012 this was a comparatively good app but now it can't hold a candle to other weather apps. I'll probably keep using Yahoo weather. GUI seems awkward and doesn't show chance of precipitation on main info list. Also doesn't do AIr quality. And satellite images are a joke!!
This one abides...
A classic, clean, easy design -- minimalist if you will -- that ably complements the iPhone form factor. It abides among a genre of too-much, crammed into too little space with too many tabs, scrolls, controls and views. One can liken this to the well-laid out dash of a true sports car: it easily informs of current conditions while allowing the driver to deal with the road ahead.

Finally iPhone 5 support
I've always thought this was one of the better weather apps with tons of info available. Some of my favorite features are the prediction graphs for temperature and precipitation and the satellite maps. I also like the way everything is presented.
Only Airports!
The biggest problem I have with Fizz Weather is that for most locations, their only reporting stations are airports. I have found so many places where the reported current weather was very wrong, and then I noticed that it was using the closest airport, which is often in a completely different climate. I don't know why Fizz does not have access to the municipal weather stations that others use.

go back
this used to be the best weather app out there... with a simple, easy, readable, user interface.. Now (IMO) to get what I want to see off of it is like solving a rubiks cube with a magnifying glass! Go back a couple of revs.. like a year or so ago, and leave the best alone.. every time this gets upgraded it gets less usable. I know it is always my option to upgrade or not, and by now I should have learned the simple truth.. if it's working, just leave it alone. At one time I was sure I would never be interested in another weather app... now I am looking

Much needed update!!
This weather app was decent before, but after the latest update is the best weather app I've found! The animations and retina display make this app beautiful, and the sliding menus for maps and locations is really handy and efficient.
Def buy this app if you want a great looking, fast, and informative weather app!!!

Yikes...
Have to agree, for once, with the peanut gallery here. The app used to be great - if, for some reason, you own the app, haven't upgraded, and are reading this, don't upgrade, or make a copy of the old version first. You'll likely hate v.2.
A big portion of the main screen is reserved for a pretty picture to represent the city in question. There are three problems here: (1) if you live or frequent somewhere (generally why you'd save the location), you don't care about the picture, because you're looking at the real place now, or will be soon. (2) even if you like the feature for some reason, if you don't live in a major city, no picture for you! (3) half the screen is wasted, and the fonts displaying the info you care about are tiny, and the pictures frequently make it even harder to read (I'm in NYC, and the details unreadable except under ideal indoor conditions).
On the plus side, I do like the slide-out tiles for the charts. The controls for those are clunky, but considering the other UI sins, that's survivable.

Was a great app, now not-so-much
This app was really fantastic - I used it every single day. They could've left the UI alone and just upgraded it to high-rez and it would've been fine. If they can come back with a version that is like the original while also utilizing the advantages of high resolution screens, I'll be very happy. Until then, I'm going to have to find another weather app because this one has essentially been rendered useless.

Best weather app
No doubt the best weather app in the store, and well worth the price. The interface is not only attractive but highly functional, and leads to multiple views (now, 2-day, 5-day, airport, maps). You can predesignate quite a large number of cities (10-12). My only suggestion would be greater specificity with the maps; they cover far too broad a region to be very useful. But I expect that's coming with the next update. Fine job!

Very good, but just needs a few more tweaks
This is a very well done weather app. Great interface, smooth, and excellent data. Airport feature is nice. I have never had a problem with it crashing. The only things I would like to see them add is an hourly forecast - right now you can only see daily or current, but not what might happen 2,3,4 hours into the day like TWC app. Also, I wished home screen icon displayed temp and current condition. Other than that, strong app!

It's Great!
The new version has great new features. I can't believe everyone is up in arms about the new splash screen. It lasts only 5 seconds! Yes, it is slightly annoying, but it isn't worth giving it 1 star. The app is great, and I'm sure the developer will do something about the splash screen now that everyone is complaining. I have downloaded all of the weather apps, and this one is the BEST!

my favorite weather app
I really like weather apps, and Fizz Weather, iWeather, and MyWeather all have a permanent spot on my home screen. Of them all, Fizz Weather is the best at giving a quick picture of the current weather, and the forecast, with the ability to "swipe" between locations.
One request -- I'd like to leave this app running constantly when my iPhone is docked, like one of those "home weather stations". Can you add a feature to disable automatic screen locking when docked, and auto refresh every 15 minutes (or maybe a user-controlled interval)? Then I can just leave it running almost constantly! (I do that sometimes anyway with NavWeather, but it's nowhere near as pretty.)

Nice UI, not very functional
Too many worthless charts, unusable map, no hourly forecast. If you want to do something with landscape mode, use it for a map you can zoom in on! Also push notifications for severe weather alerts would be nice. Fizz always makes nice looking software, but if they would just read some of these reviews and make the changes users are suggesting, they would have a brilliant product. Oh well.

this or WeatherBug
UPDATE - forgot to mention MyWeatherMobile - great UI. tough choice between the 3. everyone's needs vary. i've tried WeatherBug, Accuweather, Weather Channel, MegaWeather, DeluxeWareWeather, MyWeather Mobile, Fizz Weather, you get the idea. for me, especially since the accuracy of ANY of these is occasionally if not regularly dubious, i like WeatherBug and Fizz Weather's ability to display various NWS weather reporting stations data. Also I like sunrise/sunset info (give the nod to Fizz there), a clean UI, not too many bells and whistles. given that criteria, either of these two weather apps is truly outstanding.

Pretty vacant
From the beginning Fizz weather has been a very pretty app, with large glossy icons on a stylish black background. Nonetheless, I deleted the app several iterations ago in favor of the less sexy but more functional weather channel app, which has hour by hour forecasts and provides more useful information upfront.
Last week I decide to re-try Fizz because my wife still uses it, and after a week I'm deleting it again. The developers have continued to add features, but the interface ISA conceptual mess. The "Now" screen also contains the five day forecast, but there is also a tab for the five day forecast. The graphs in landscape mode are cool, but I'd rather a decent implementation of hourly forecasts instead. I spend more time trying to find information than actually reading the info I want.
Fizz remains the best looking weather app I've seen, but its confused interface makes less functional than most.

Nice App... needs better maps.
This really is a nice app. I use it constantly. There is truly a lot to like about this application. However.... my pet peeve is with the radar. While the radar graphics are impressive, you can not zoom in with any accuracy. This is important, especially when severe weather is approaching. There are other programs that use google maps and over lay the doppler radar for accurate storm tracking. Come on guys... get the maps right and you have a true winner!

Excellent application.
I have downloaded several weather applications, but this one is by far the best I have seen. The sheer amount of information that it provides is great. Awesome graphics, and as accurate a forecast as you will find anywhere online.
I've seen a few reviews panning the recent 1.4 update, and am personally confused by this. I think that the update adds some nice features, and I also like the splash screen.

Great app...some suggestions for improvement
First, this is a great weather app. I have several, and was skeptical of this one because of the bad reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It is loaded with data, has nice graphics, has a very responsive user interface, and provides the five-day forecast on the current conditions screen. It is a solid four star app. Now some suggestions:
1) Get rid of the splash screen. While it isn't nearly as bad as others have portrayed it to be, anything that slows down the launch of a weather app, even for a second or two, is a bad idea.
2) Improve the radar. It doesn't zoom nearly close enough to be useful at a local level, and the closest zoom that it does have doesn't have very good resolution. I have used Weather Bug Elite for quite a while now and, though I like Fizz Weather much better overall, Weather Bug's radar is exceptional for the price.
3) Combine the "Now" page and the "5-Day" page. If, on the "5-Day" page, you display the current weather when viewing the current date, and provide a small button to change reporting locations, you could eliminate the "Now" page altogether and simplify navigation.
Well done on a great app. It's a five star weather app if you accomplish #1 and #2 above. If you accomplish all three, it will easily be the best weather app in the app store!
