Relief!

So far it seems to provide as much or more features and more accurate forecasting than the Apple modification of Dark Sky.

NOAA weather and radar

How about a little CUSTOMER CARE now that you’ve got my money I’ve been using your app for a long time get it together please! Thanks 😡

Not as good as the android app

I had the same app on android and it was free instead of being nearly 3 dollars also on the android that would allow me to scroll through the forecast looking at the days of the week for five or six days making it easy to plan.

On this one it has tiny little dots that are difficult to read making it extremely difficult to view anything other than the current Day. This is right now the only thing that I dislike about my new iPhone the way that this app renders.

Frustrated!

The good:
- The meteorological information is amazingly complete, from the current conditions to the radar to the forecast.
- The graphics are attractive, and easy to understand.

The bad:
- I keep my iPad in landscape mode, and all of my apps work in that orientation — except this one, which only operates in portrait mode. It’s a pain because I normally use my iPad clamped in a stand. Before reading the forecast I have to unclamp it — or try to read sideways.

Bad app

Terrible app doesn’t have an easy way to delete unwanted cities and customize to my needs! I don’t recommend in any way! Waste of money!
