Confused

I really want to like this app but the app has me in Norman Oklahoma and I don’t live in Norman. I live in Tulsa so now I don’t know if I can trust it to be correct when there is severe weather??? If I can’t figure this out or get some sort of solution I’ll be deleting the app

Response from developer

Hi Morticia, the app's default location is our home base in Norman, since we have no way of automatically determining where you are when you first install the app. If you'd like to switch to our Tulsa site, you can use the button in the upper-right corner of the Local tab to open the station selector, then scroll down or search and tap on "Tulsa". You can choose to grant location access to make it easy to find the closest sites to you — your location is never sent to us. Once you're there, you can also choose to set our Tulsa site (or any other sites of interest) as a favorite for quick access in the station selector, just tap the star. Hopefully that helps! If so, we'd really appreciate an updated review. If not, please reach out at operator@mesonet.org.

Exceptionally well done

I have used the app for several years now. Great tool for any framer to backyard gardeners.

Response from developer

Thanks, Bob! We appreciate the kind words and love hearing that the app's useful across the board for growers.

Best Wx App!

Very quality app if you are just wanting to know what your week day forecast is and maybe you are more of a weather enthusiast that likes to look into the synoptics of things. It’s good for beginners and experts! Not to mention extremely accurate information as it is derived from the amazing Mesonet stations all over the state! Seriously a high quality app!

Thank you for the great review! We're glad the app helps make Mesonet data accessible to everyone.

Nice redesign

Love the ios26 redesign

A Must Have

For veteran Okies, this app has to be on your phone. Is it the prettiest? No. Does it have endless widgets? No (wish it did have more though). This is the app you go to for every kind of weather info you need or want. I love the fact I can see cumulative rain info, comfort info for human and animals, soil data, wind data and much more. The radar isn’t anything to phone home about as it’s very blocky due to low resolution but I have My Radar installed for that. I have out maneuvered many a storm with this and My Radar with extreme accuracy while out working. The ticker is an excellent source of info as well. Thank you for this awesome app. As long as I’m alive my phone will always have this installed.

My favorite weather app since it began

I’m pretty sure back in the day before the internet these same guys shared weather data via modem. I used to use it. Anyway, I have used this app since the beginning, and to this day it’s my most used and most accurate weather app. Mostly because it’s not filled with flash, but instead it’s packed with as much accurate weather data as you can handle. Lots of environmental things too like soil temperature etc. There’s also the “Ticker”, which I read every time we have bad weather coming. There are prettier apps that forecast weeks or months ahead, and there are better radar apps. But these guys are the source, and they know we can’t forecast that far out.

Very useful and unique resource

This is the first source I’ve found for historical, local weather records. Today’s forecast, precipitation rates, etc. are interesting but not sufficient if you depend on data like rainfall accumulations.
Due to the distance from their nearest collection station, I might see some difference between my rain gauge and their reports but over the course of say, thirty days, they provide useful data useful for managing our pastures, ponds, pecan trees, etc.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

Widgets not working

When I add a widget, it shows up for Norman as the location. I live in Guthrie and don't need Norman weather.

Disappointed

The app will no longer show full screen on iPad.

Amazing weather tool!!

The Oklahoma Mesonet is extremely unique and amazing! The breadth of weather data covered and available to Oklahomans (and non-Oklahomans), for free (basically) is probably not matched anywhere on the internet. And I have tried to find an equal to it. Lol
Also, the Tickers are some of the best weekly weather data summaries/comedies that could be written or read. Check them out as well as all the weather data that is recorded and reported.

Bravo Mesonet team!

Required app for Oklahomans

Absolutely the first app I install on everything, OCS built an amazing weather network and a great, FREE app to interface with. Best thing to come out of Oklahoma since Woody Guthrie

Great app!!

Highly recommend! Would love to see an Apple Watch app as well as a widget added for iOS!

THE weather app for Oklahoma

If you live in Oklahoma, this needs to be your weather app. I can’t wait for an update so we get an iOS 14 Home Screen widget.

Best Weather App for Okies!

Update Jan 25 2020:
I completely forgot to update my review when the maps started working again! Thank you developer for replying to my review. Everything has been working perfectly for a while now and I love it.

With all the trash weather apps like WeatherBug and Weather Channel our there that exist to blast you with advertisements and collect and sell your data, it’s so wonderful to have a powerful alternative for free!

This does all the basics well, temp, forecasts, radar, etc. BUT, where this app (and website) really shine are all the other tools and maps you have access to.

Also, if you’re not reading The Ticker from Mesonet, you’re doing it wrong. The most hilarious and accurate weather summaries you can get, with a dose of education on how weather and climate work and affect us.

I LOVE IT!!!!❤️❤️

I love how this app is free. And you don’t have to pay for anything! Radar is great, forecast is correct from past days, and the different maps are cool!!!❤️❤️

One of my go to weather apps

Best place to find the true local weather. Great radars and maps. The ticker is a must read. Lots of great information. Keep up the good work!

The go to app for Oklahoma weather.

Super simple to read and use. The extended forecast really helps as does the hourly. Glad we have this! Great work.

Great app

This is a must have app if your into the weather and live in Oklahoma. Great for monitoring passing storms and the weather conditions in various parts of the state.

Like the App

As of this morning, App barely opens and immediately crashes. Cannot open.

Response from developer

We apologize for the stability issues. We found some areas in the code that had the potential to crash and have hopefully addressed them with the release of version 2.0.3. If the app still crashes after update, try a clean update by deleting the app off the phone, then reinstalling from the app store. Let us know either way, as it will help us make the Mesonet app better.
