I bought it and it will not work. Nothing loads. My phone is running the latest iOS, I’ve restarted my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Nothing can get it working. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t update *2024-05-02* Doesn’t work at all. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-12* This terrific app no longer loads! Please fix! Thanks ### 5/5 — Fab *2022-12-29* Excellent app for my developmentally disabled adult son. He glommed right on to it and is no longer layering clothing. Amazing. ### 5/5 — Good for special needs and children *2020-10-11* This app is good and simple it shows the weather in a simple way for children and special needs adults or special needs children. It shows what to wear during the weather. It also has an option for advanced descriptions with winds and humidity. It’s a very good app I like it a lot. Highly recommended ### 1/5 — Bases Clothing Only on Daily High *2019-10-27* The app shows the current temperature as 56 degrees with a high of 76. Its suggesting clothes for the “warm” category (sandals, t-shirt, shorts). Also, I tried to customize the temperature levels. Initially, it worked, but as soon as I closed and we-opened the app, the levels were wonky (not what I put in and not the default). ### 4/5 — Needs improvement *2019-03-18* Great to show developmentally disabled adults how to dress. But when you change from winter trees to summer, you have to keep tapping it numerous times to get it to switch back. The winter trees are scary for kids. Reminds me of the haunted forest in the Wizard of Oz. Would suggest more friendly theme like a snowman in foreground. ### 5/5 — Very Cute Weather *2018-02-23* Thumb up 👍 ### 1/5 — Need to bring it back to the old days *2017-01-14* You all might not listen to this but I do love the app and the way it shows what type of clothes we wear but it doesn't update like it use to also it doesn't take the wind chill and heat index into account for picking what type of clothing we should wear I think it's time for me to move on with this app and not worry about this app anymore sorry **Developer response:** Thank you for giving us this feedback. We will take your idea about heat index and wind chill into our discussions for future updates. We understand how those factors can certainly effect clothing choices. Thanks for your suggestion. ### 5/5 — rocks it! *2016-04-26* great idea! ## Frequently asked questions about iDress for Weather ### What does iDress for Weather do? iDress for Weather helps users, particularly children and adults with or without disabilities, make connections between weather conditions and appropriate clothing.
