Example: what’s the best time to ride my bike this weekend? **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. Version 5.4 has a much more updated AI assistant that can answer questions like this :) ### 3/5 — Tons of info *2024-06-19, version 4.5.1* This app provides every possible aspect of weather information that is available. Admittedly, t’s not quite 5 stars, as I found the interface cumbersome to navigate. Dev needs some testers to comment on the UI. If you can’t find setting for temp/distance etc, go to the settings page and SCROLL. They’re offscreen at the bottom on my SE. Pastel colours pervade the screen and there’s not much to differentiate the different fields of information; eg. the same colour is used for “today’s temps” blocks, graphs for hourly temps, a scrolling line of subjective weather assessments (like “It is not humid right now”), and sunrise/sunset. It’s also a lot of scrolling. Main screen is 2-1/2 pages long on my SE. Within that are more vertical scroll fields and swipe left/right fields as well. All the bar graphs have no axes of reference, so they really don’t mean much unless you take the time to make the references in your head, which pretty much negates the usefulness of an easy-to-read bar graph. ### 5/5 — Love the AI feature! *2023-10-14* Use this app on a daily basis. Easy to use, provides all the info I need😊 ### 5/5 — I like and bought this app *2023-09-27* There are a LOT of weather apps but there’s something about this one that led me to buy it. It’s clear. It’s simple. It’s well laid out. And they’re fair with their pricing. No real complaints—just a nice app. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! ### 5/5 — Very good. I loved! *2023-09-26* Need pro widgets too for powerful meta weather…. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t scale properly for zoomed screens *2023-09-25* App appears to provide good data. But if “Zoomed” screen is enabled, the app extends beyond the screen borders and there is no way to “pinch” or shrink it to fit the screen. Until this is fixed, I’ll keep using my old weather app. ### 2/5 — Good Start *2023-09-25* General appearance is nice. Lack of customization and radar are big hits tho. ### 4/5 — AI Weather Bot Is Vey Nice *2023-07-05* This is a good weather app. Been using it for a while. I believe the data is WeatherKit, so it’s the same info as the stock app but in, imo, a handier layout. And the new AI piece gives you a very nice forecast for the day. Pro is only $3. No radar though. **Developer response:** Hey thank you so much for being a user for so long! And glad you like the AI bot. I am currently working on both radar and widgets… but want to make sure they both function without any bugs or issues. Hopefully I can get that update out soon! Thanks again, I appreciate your feedback ### 5/5 — Nice app design *2023-01-05* This weather app has a nice design and is easy to navigate, all the info I need is right their. ### 5/5 — Nice Update *2023-01-05, version 3.2.1* Nice update, like the detailed daily view, great for golf ### 5/5 — nice *2023-01-04, version 3.1.3* love small size apps. this it's the way apps should be ### 2/5 — Contains some nice weather info but seems somewhat broken *2022-11-13* I just downloaded this app to try it out. All the little sections contain useful weather info with easy to read fonts, but there is close to zero customization options. The settings tab allows me to change the units for temperature and wind speed and that’s it! I’d love to change to a dark mode because I can’t stand the default color scheme and it appears like there should be 8 colored themes to choose from plus a dark theme, but the app tells me to ‘Get PRO for themes!’ Also at the bottom of the main page, there is another note that says ‘Get PRO for solar and other cool data!’ - but there aren’t any buttons or tabs that would allow users to upgrade if they chose to do so!! Depending on all the options available in PRO and its price, I might have actually given this app some $$, but since it is broken and has nearly zero customization settings I will be deleting it. ### 5/5 — Really good *2022-08-05* Found this to be a right good app. Not overwhelming with information just the right amount. Constantly updated by the dev and worth the price. Personally I do prefer the newer look he did and I hope this will become a theme so I can have that option but even so without it this is a really good app. Congrats to the dev for a tidy app. **Developer response:** Thank you, and yes I am getting the new design added as a theme asap! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI functionality not working *2025-05-02, version 4.8.1* Payed for the Pro Version, but AI is not doing anything. Rip-off ### 1/5 — Restore doesn’t *2023-11-01, version 3.3.3* Work ### 1/5 — Who’s in charge here? *2023-07-14* Stupid app repeatedly defaults to New York. Can I give it a -10 for such a basic numb nuts failure? Also has a 5 out of 5 rating from 11 people, seems it doesn’t bother to include the many 1- and 2-star reviews, how’d they scam that mess? ### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchases *2023-03-10, version 3.2.1* I own the Pro version and now I don’t seem to be able to restore. Tapping restore purchases does nothing. ### 1/5 — Colour *2023-01-05, version 3.2.1* Not everyone wants such a harsh black background. No option to lighten it up without paying for other options you may not be interested in. ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-08-05, version 3.1.3* Latest update broke the app. This was a nice weather app. Pay pro features being implemented are screwing it up. About to delete it. ### 1/5 — Temperature not shown properly *2022-07-31, version 3.1* Data for temperature range don’t show properly on iPhone X and 3.1 app version, in daily mode. For example, 32 ºC - 15 ºC is shown as 3… 15… ### 1/5 — Update broke the app *2022-07-31, version 3.1* The app doesn’t work at all anymore after the most recent update. ### 1/5 — Bad bad bad update *2022-07-28, version 3.0* There was a lot of information like wearing sunglasses and wearing the right clothes where did they go ? the update is very bad ### 1/5 — No config tab - inaccurate - no Celsius *2022-07-03, version 2.2.2* On of those Apps you should delete immediately - or even better: not install at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keeps Getting Better! *2026-04-11* Definitely worth giving this one a shot. It really is a great weather app. **Developer response:** Hey thank you so much for being a user for so long! And glad you like the AI bot. I am currently working on both radar and widgets… but want to make sure they both function without any bugs or issues. Hopefully I can get that update out soon! Thank you! Glad you have been enjoying the new updates ### 5/5 — The software is very user-friendly, and it would be even better if it supported Chinese. *2025-12-08* The software is very user-friendly, and it would be even better if it supported Chinese. ### 5/5 — Awesome Weather Appp *2025-10-09* Just found this terrific Weather App. Developer even enhanced it according to my suggestion. Insanely great as Steve Jobs would say :) **Developer response:** Thanks for the advice, I just got that added to the latest version. Thank you! ### 5/5 — some advice *2025-09-21, version 5.02* Can you add more language support, such as Simplified Chinese? Thank you. ### 5/5 — Add more widgets please *2024-11-05, version 4.6.4* Please add widgets ### 5/5 — Good Start *2024-08-13* General appearance is nice. Lack of customization and radar are big hits tho. Update : this dev has been busy! Really like where the app is headed. Lots more customization, radar now included, and the AI stuff is awesome. Came back on a whim and purchased. Really well done and accurate weather forecast from my usage. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-13* Just a great weather app. Easy to read with all the info you want right up front.
