Vielen Dank für die vier Sterne und die Idee! Den Wunsch, Orte direkt auf der Karte auszuwählen, haben wir uns notiert.

Useless app no lifetime subscription

What a useless app and no lifetime subscription tons of in app purchases 💁

Great!

Great app with great support.

Response from developer

Thank you! Glad the app and the support have both been good to you.

Excellent Weather App!

Beautiful design, accurate weather forecasts, and an intuitive interface. A pleasure to use! Thanks for adding more languages and continuing to improve the app. Highly recommended!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We're glad the new languages landed well, and there is more on the way.

Upgrades/Features

The developers are extremely responsive and are adding new suggestions and features often. This app is highly customizable and pretty accurate (we know weather can change in an instant). Looking forward to seeing where this app goes in the near future.

Read before downloading

There’s no free version, they only offer paid subscriptions; although they offer a 7 day free trial, they really should have a free tier so you have enough time to get familiar with the app.

Response from developer

Thanks for the straight feedback, and a longer free look is a fair thing to ask for. The download itself is free and every subscription opens with a 7 day free trial, so there is a week to try things out before anything is charged.

By FAR the best weather app

Our extended family uses this on everything from desktop to Apple Watch. This app has it all - and in an interface that makes sense and provides a fantastic amount of detail without being overwhelming.

The Best and Excellent Weather app

I’ve tried just about every weather app available for the Mac over the years, and Forecast Bar is, without question, the best weather app I’ve ever used.

The menu bar integration is clean, fast, and incredibly convenient. I can see current conditions, detailed forecasts, radar, hourly and extended weather, all without opening a separate application. It’s highly customizable, lightweight, and always reliable.

What really sets Forecast Bar apart is the attention to detail. The interface is beautiful, the information is accurate, and it’s obvious that the developer cares about creating a quality product. Whether I’m checking the weather for my local area or planning travel, it has become an indispensable part of my daily workflow.

If you’re looking for a Mac weather app, I highly recommend Forecast Bar. It’s worth every penny and, in my opinion, it’s the best weather application available for macOS.

So handy

I love this app because it gives me a high-level overview of everything I need to know in one place. Plus, it’s easy to expand for more info!

Hands down best weather app!

Hands down the most customizable and accurate weather map. Not to mention the developers are super responsive to questions. I am a weather geek so have a bunch but when I want to know what it’s actually going to be doing outside today, tomorrow, even a few days from now this is thr goat.

All the Info all the time

I have Forecast Bar on my MacBook Pro and iPhone and it gets a lot of use. From whether my golf is going to happen to should I have the driveway shoveled. Tech support is rarely needed but always available.

Nothing better for the Apple Watch

I missed dark sky when apple bought it and shut it down
This is far better for a modest price
The middle complication tells you everything

Exceptional Improvement to an Excellent App

Been using Forecast Bar for years and recently wondered how it was better than Mac’s standard weather app or third party competitors. Then they upgraded its features including AI summaries and refined graphics. It is now Best in Class by a country mile with customization options to see precisely what you want in the drop down menu. Highly Recommended.

My FAVE weather app

My wife is always checking this app for those feature and another app for that feature. I showed her ForecastBar - and she’s like, yup, I’ll get that! We both love it! accumulated rain, radar, hourly, 2 weeks ahead, sunrise, sunset — all in the same app. LOVE IT.

Weather Stories and Outlooks

Liking the updates. Would like to see more information like SPC and WPC updates and push notifications. Also, weather temperature trends and model comparisons would be helpful.

The future is here

I am constantly searching for the perfect news or weather app weekly. I have never downloaded an app with so much customizability or accuracy in the last 20 years of owning smart phones. Quick customer service offering help with any of my app questions or needs combined with accurate weather and an unreal amount of customizable options, this is my new go to weather app. It's everything I've ever wanted in an app, and it's all organized my way, worth the small subscription fee easily. if you don’t download this app and grab the subscription, you’re missing out.

What a review — thank you. So glad it's everything you were after.

Forecast Bar Works and Works Well

It it nice to look up at the menu bar and see the temperature at a glance.
It is even nicer to click on in to see what the weather has in store.
I’ve found this app to be as accurate as others, and much handier while I’m working. Definitely worth the subscription.

I’m intrigued.✨

Very descriptive & informative I love the concise data features & layout .✨
