### 2/5 — Ads made this app insufferable

*2025-07-28, version 11.8*

Used to LOVE this app as it was super reliable, but now that I can’t skip these ads they force you to sit through if you don’t want to pay $12 a year for ad free weather info, it’s horrible. I’ll stick to going straight to NWS for my information. Weather information should NOT be monetized, you all pay taxes that go towards incentivizing this information… why pay more?! Paying for this information to avoid sitting through ads is just revolting to me as a meteorologist. 

Go to weather.gov to obtain your weather information that is readily available (ad free).

### 1/5 — Forecast in 5 minutes

*2024-07-02, version 11.1*

Used to be a good app. Now they added advertisements that are broken. So I have to restart the app, watch another ad, and hope it works.

No longer forecast now, it is forecast in five minutes, maybe.

### 5/5 — Favorite Weather App

*2023-08-01, version 10.6*

I have used a lot of weather apps and Forecast Now is my favorite

### 3/5 — Hard to read forecasts.

*2023-06-27, version 10.6*

The letters on the forecast are way too small.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2021-09-30, version 10.3*

Was a good simple app but recently was changed with more intrusive ads. You often can’t just open it to see the forecast. Now you get blasted with a loud ad with no way to short circuit. It’s a shame because I really like the app.

### 2/5 — It’s changed!

*2021-08-10, version 10.2.1*

All text detailing the forecast is gone. Now just postage stamp sized graphics that won’t expand. Pretty much useless now.

### 1/5 — Forecast Now

*2021-01-01, version 10.2*

Don’t bother!!!

### 1/5 — Forecast disappeared

*2020-08-09, version 9.7.1*

This app doesn’t work anymore. All I get are the pictures on the left side. No words. Absolutely useless.

### 3/5 — Day of Week lost with latest update

*2019-12-08, version 9.0*

Difficult to use, not knowing day of week (eg Sun, Mon, etc)

### 5/5 — Forecast Now

*2019-11-29, version 9.0*

Put back the dates when reviewing Daily forecast information. The last update removed the Dates for the forecast information. 
How do I get Color to show up in the Maps?
