Would like to see more information like SPC and WPC updates and push notifications. Also, weather temperature trends and model comparisons would be helpful. ### 5/5 — WOW - Forecast Bar - Absolute BEST weather App! *2026-05-04* These Two are Absolutely the Best individuals for this Most Awesome weather reporting. I’ve had Forecast Bar for many years and would not have it any other way. They respond quickly / politely / throughly / knowledgeable whenever needed. This last update WOW. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — App Works *2026-05-01, version 11.0.7* This app works as advertised, provides necessary information. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2026-05-01, version 11.0.7* Forecast Bar provides a variety of information and access to specific information and is very easy to use. Other forecasts add a lot of razzle dazzle to the application but actually provide very little accurate information. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-04-24, version 11.0.7* It gives a very detailed weather forecast. The only thing I would like to see (hear) is an audible alert for lighting in my selected area (we've been hit by lightning WAY too often). Accurate and easy to personalize. I have quite a few weather apps, but this is my favorite! ### 5/5 — GREAT WEATHER *2026-04-24, version 11.0.7* Great weather site, use it every day. Predictions of the weather are excellent. Very pleased with the app. ### 5/5 — Great weather app *2026-04-19, version 11.0.7* I use this to show weather on my apple watch and it works perfectly ### 5/5 — Fantastic Weather App *2026-04-13, version 11.0.6* I’ve been relying on the Forecast Bar weather app for many years. Over the years, the developers have continued to make upgrades and improvements. I am currently a Silver subscription subscriber and very happy to support this app ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended *2026-04-12, version 11.0.6* I rarely subscribe to applications, but once I found this application, I subscribed without hesitation and never regretted it. The Apple Watch complication easily justifies the annual fee! Additionally, the developers are super responsive and helpful. I highly encourage everyone to use this app! ### 5/5 — Accurate and Customizable *2026-04-11, version 11.0.6* Love forecast bar on my iPhone and MacBook. Very accurate and customizable. You can dial in the metrics you want to track as well as the look and feel of the app. ### 5/5 — Reliable and accurate *2026-04-11* Use it daily. Seems more accurate than most other forecasts. Good presentation. **Developer response:** Accurate and reliable, used daily — the highest compliment a weather app can get. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Best weather app *2026-04-10, version 11.0.6* Most reliable, nice design, easy on resources, easy to use. Five stars! ### 5/5 — New AI forecast *2026-04-10, version 11.0.6* So far I’m loving the new ai forecasts. ### 5/5 — Love the functionality *2026-04-01, version 11.0.6* This app has a lot of customizable feature, which I love because I can curate the information I see. I find the the weather forecasts are pretty accurate as well! ### 2/5 — Radar *2026-03-31, version 11.0.6* The radar is a joke. Has to do a 30-40 frame count before loading. Good app otherwise. If looking to buy a weather app I’d probably pass on this one just because of the Radar. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-03-31, version 11.0.6* I have tried many other apps and this is the one that gives me the details I need in an easy to read form. ### 5/5 — My favorite weather app *2026-03-31, version 11.0.6* I’ve stopped using all other weather apps. Yours is, hands down, the best. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Super Customizable App! *2026-03-29, version 11.0.6* I love this weather app. It’s so customizable. I live in St Pete and am always outdoors playing pickleball, volleyball, paddling, biking, etc so it’s important for me to keep an eye on things like wind and UV rays. This app makes it so easy for me to see the things I want to see on a custom dashboard and lets me drill down into hourly wind, UV levels, rain chances, etc. It’s awesome being able to see all of this at a glance. I’ve recommended this app to friends and family and they’re enjoying it too. Worth it! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-03-29, version 11.0.6* It gives a very detailed weather forecast. The only thing I would like to see (hear) is an audible alert for lighting in my selected area (we've been hit by lightning WAY too often). Accurate and easy to personalize. ### 5/5 — Excellent localized weather *2026-03-28, version 11.0.6* I love the look and feel of this app on both my watch and phone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — used to be OK *2026-03-06, version 11.0.5* I used to enjoy this app but it now requires a paid subscription to use. there are much better options out there. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2026-01-21, version 11.0.4* Widgets stopped working. App has trouble loading even basic forecasts. Developer responded only after months of app not working. Don’t trust it. After no response for months, suddenly “new features are coming”? I think someone’s automatic, unattended cash cow ran out. I’ve moved on to HeyWeather. ### 1/5 — Keine Deutsche Sprache *2026-01-21* Alte Version wird einfach abgeschaltet obwohl Premium bezahlt ist. Deutliches Potenzial nach Oben insbesondere was die Sprache betrifft. Nach mehr als einem Jahr, meldet sich der Entwickler und möchte was klären. Unglaublich **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und entschuldige bitte den Frust. Dass die alte Version bei einem laufenden Premium‑Abo einfach abgeschaltet wirkt, ist natürlich keine gute Erfahrung, und auch die fehlende vollständige deutsche Übersetzung ist ein berechtigter Kritikpunkt. Wir arbeiten daran, die Lokalisierungen – einschließlich Deutsch – zu verbessern und gleichzeitig faire Lösungen für Bestandsabos zu finden. Bitte schreib uns an support@higherbarapps.com mit deinen Abo‑Details, damit wir uns dein Fall im Detail anschauen können. ### 1/5 — Do not download! You’ll get charged even for the trial. *2025-12-05, version 11.0* I downloaded the app for a seven day trial. A little too busy for me. I canceled the subscription just about an hour after I downloaded it for the trial. Still got charged for a one year subscription. Called Apple and still waiting to see what happens. Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2025-10-28, version 10.3.5* Widgets stopped working. App has trouble loading even basic forecasts. ### 1/5 — Paid for widgets now they don’t work *2025-10-02, version 10.3.3* Cancelled my renewal next month because widgets stopped working. App shows my subscription level but widgets still won’t work. Stopped about 30-60 days ago and update doesn’t fix. Find another app. ### 1/5 — This was a good app... *2025-05-29, version 10.2* Subscription expired, tried to renew and bronze option is gone. Support never responds. Horrible customer service. Other options out there guys - respond To your subscribers before they’re all gone. ### 1/5 — Abandoned? *2025-05-16, version 10.2* Like other recent posts I am concerned that the app has been abandoned. I wrote a glowing review about six months ago. The app for the phone and watch app has suddenly fallen apart. It probably has to do with a recent operating system update. Uninstalling and reinstalling has only made the problems worse. An email to support has not been answered. Very disappointed to see this with what had been one of the best weather apps available. ### 1/5 — Was once great… no longer *2025-03-31, version 10.2* App doesn’t get updated very often. Weather data often missing. It was once my favorite but not anymore. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2024-11-09* I don’t want to pay this a there’s no cancel or x this app is bad DONT DOWNLOAD IT **Developer response:** I’m sorry your experience with the app has been so frustrating.

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. ### 5/5 — So handy *2026-07-02* 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! ### 5/5 — Hands down best weather app! *2026-06-10, version 11.1* 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. ### 5/5 — All the Info all the time *2026-06-09, version 11.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Nothing better for the Apple Watch *2026-06-07, version 11.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Exceptional Improvement to an Excellent App *2026-06-02* 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. ### 5/5 — My FAVE weather app *2026-05-26* 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. ### 5/5 — The future is here *2026-05-24* 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. **Developer response:** What a review — thank you. So glad it's everything you were after. ### 5/5 — Forecast Bar Works and Works Well *2026-05-22* 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. ### 5/5 — I’m intrigued.✨ *2026-05-06, version 11.0.7* Very descriptive & informative I love the concise data features & layout .✨ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
