Sorry to see this app die

Developer has obviously stopped updating and app no longer works. Takes forever to load “see forecasts” and has no options to exit the forecasts to return to the search screen. It’s a shame… I really liked this app.

Great app

I’ve used this app for several years, and it just gets better and better. I first used it when driving commercially, OTR. Now retired I use it with a RV. The couple corrections I’ve submitted to the developer were performed quickly and they were great to work with each time.

Don’t Believe the Trial

Sparse and rigid to navigate through, I purchased the monthly license and what was indicated as a 7 day trial.
This was to be able to adjust departure times and view a 12 hr forecast.
This app doesn’t offer a a trial, you are billed regardless. Even with the purchase, the features are sub par. You’re better off with the Apple weather app.

Subscribed, but won't restore purchase

Traveling right now. Tornado and flood watches in effect, but I can't get this app to activate my purchase

Radar and weather not in sync

I was excited about the concept, but in comparing the predicted forecast and the radar view, they are not in sync.
Radar is dramatic snow and rain forecast with no precipitation in the forecast in the timeline.

Inaccurate

Waste of space and time. You can do your preferred weather app for better results. This doesn’t update as you travel. It showed partly sunny with chance for rain through Kentucky and Tennessee. It’s poured the whole time. We travel frequently from NW Ohio to NW Florida using I-65. No sun at all, just rain. If it refreshed better with traveling but it doesn’t. So use your map and compare with weather app for more accurate reading. I’m done using this app

Hi, Denise. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry your experience wasn't in line with what users have come to expect from Highway Weather, though! Let's dig in a little bit. It sounds like you may have only been using the planning ahead tools within Highway Weather. Our planning tools can be a great way to get an estimated idea of what's ahead (we derive our forecasts from highly trusted weather sources; always bear in mind even the best weather sources can incorrectly predict inherently less-than-predictable weather events). However, if you'd like on-the-fly weather alert updates, you'll need our "Hands Free" tool. Hands Free tracks your progress along your route, delivering updated weather alerts as you drive. If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at support@weatherroute.io. Thanks, Denise!

Useful

I have used this app to plan road trips and have found it very useful. It will update the forecasts as you go. The forecasts are fairly accurate and the app is not cluttered with unnecessary information. Well done!

Not perfect, but it works!

The UI can be clunky and it doesn't update perfectly as you drive. The location detection in real time needs some improvement, but it works and for now it's the only while-you-drive weather app!

Awesome

This is a very important tool for me that my job so much easier by avoiding bad weather causing costly delays in my logistics business

Radar doesn’t work on future trips

The radar is accurate on the current day, but if you pick a future date, the radar doesn’t update/change. Crap

Helpful

I used this to help my daughter plan a lengthy trip and to keep tabs on her weather predictions as she drove. It is easy to use and was pretty accurate on the forecasts for driving 10 hours in one day.

Ice to see what’s ahead!

I’ve use this app now for about six months, and it comes in really handy for anticipating weather on road trips. I really like the feature. Where you rest now, as it makes it much more usable for an entire trip.

Thanks for the kind review, EKWrites! So glad to hear it's been a useful app for ya. :)

Good app with good weather predictions

Good for truck drivers

Freight hauler

This is very helpful and easy to use. Thank you!

Dodging ice storm

Recently on an RV trip form CO to GA during the recent ice storm that hit from TX through AR. Using the app we stayed ahead of the storm so we missed driving on the treacherous roads. Very friendly app to watch the weather as we traveled.

Was hopeful but….do not recommend…

For the last 14-years we have traveled from the West Coast to the Mid-South multiple times a year in two days. Initially we planned our trips using The Weather Channel. When they discontinued weather conditions for the US Interstates, planning a trip became more challenging.

Sites like Road Now require too much interaction for each state and exit to determine weather conditions. So, when I located your website and mapped out our route along I-40, I was pleanstly surprised with the various filters one may use to receive the information needed.

Based on the information provided, we planned our trip for yesterday and today. We are approximately 2-hours from our destination and this has not been a pleasant experience.

The weather conditions we encountered were not predicted. In addition, I downloaded the App, thinking that we could monitor conditions easier on the road - Icould not have been more wrong!

For over 200-miles, the app and website did not register our location or, if it did, the forecast information was not available. Even as we were deak]ling with the challenging weather, the App and website did not indicate what we were experiencing.

Needless to say, the App and Website Bookmark will be deleted after completing this review. This appeared to have so much potential but from someone who has extensive experience with this route, this was an epic failure.

Hi, there. Firstly, I'm really, really sorry about the experience you've had! I'd strongly encourage you to reach out directly to us a support@weatherroute.io so we can open up a proper conversation and dig into the issues you've experienced with the app. I would like to convey that we source our weather data from highly reputable sources (e.g. NOAA). And, while these sources are typically very accurate, even the most-trusted sources cannot always account for rapid changes in conditions that deviate from what was previously predicted. Additionally, we'd very much like to learn more about the application not updating as you executed your route. This typically isn't something that should happen, but I will say that the app updating is dependent on whether or not your device has access to data (either WIFI or mobile data). Without data, Highway Weather will be unable to update the latest weather data and alerts or obtain your location. Again, we're really, really sorry about the sub-par experience you've had. We'd be honored if you would reach out to us via our Support channel to see if we can dive into your specific experience further and see if we can make things right. Thanks so much!

Crash

Lately app crashes or freezes often. Useful app but design is very entry level.

Trash

this new update is stupid and the app is now useless

Doesn’t show fog

Useless.
