Hyper Local is good

Sometime in the last 20 years weather went from being something you got from local experts to a generic forecast from faceless apps. This app has all the bells and whistles of the big apps and then more, plus the point of view of the area you actually live. I highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Local accurate weather

I have been using the basic weather app that comes with iPhone for over a decade. It has never failed to disappoint me. It will be raining for 15 minutes and I look at the app and it doesn’t even suggest a chance of precipitation, let alone update when it is CURRENTLY RAINING. This app is more accurate locally and even has incentive for you to have your own input and report on current weather conditions as they unfold. Give this app a chance and you will never go back to the horrible weather apps of the past. Also very customizable with notifications and in-app settings and preferences. Very well thought out.

Weather made fun

I have been enjoying this app. The weather has been accurate. I have been enjoying collecting weatherlings. The added social component is perfect for weather nerds.

Great app

This is really comprehensive- all the weather you expect plus customizable map views of radar and weather reports, ability to report weather, and fun stuff like points and cute weather critters. Love that it’s MD only and MD themed.
