### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-03, version 3.50*

So many weather apps are crowded and hard to Look at. This one’s a pleasure to open and scroll through.

### 5/5 — A

*2026-08-01, version 3.50*

A

### 3/5 — Good, but you have to pay for a lot of stuff.

*2026-07-31, version 3.50*

Now, don’t get me wrong, the app is great by all means, but the one problem I have is that, in order to access HALF of the teased features (Wallpapers, widgets, skins, weather apps.) you need to PAY for the app. A WEATHER app requiring a subscription. Atleast add another way to unlock some of the stuff, like the achivement feature, or Cloudburst. Other than that, it’s nice.

### 5/5 — Why is the “Normal” theme not free?

*2026-07-27, version 3.50*

Just doesn’t make sense to me because that kinda contradicts itself. Aside from that, great app though

### 3/5 — Gorgeous but inaccurate

*2026-07-27, version 3.50*

This is a beautiful app. Paid for the full version but regret it because it’s inaccurate. There’s no AQI shown with Apple weather as the choice of weather data. But Apple weather is more accurate than foreca (that shows the AQI). Same for rain, foreca was not showing rain, but Apple weather was and it is raining. I wish these changes are updated and they can pull all data from Apple weather instead of foreca. Or something from something.

### 5/5 — Great design, great app.

*2026-07-24, version 3.50*

This is awesome, the app design is so cool and it's genuinely fun to use. Love it.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-07-24, version 3.50*

This is the best app ever. It’s got a hidden gaming and it is the best Weather app very accurate.

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-07-22, version 3.50*

Lack of support

### 4/5 — Omg this is beautiful!

*2026-07-21, version 3.50*

However the only thing holding it back is the pay wall for widgets and to access different sources other than Apple weather
But it is still really cheap and I still love it

### 4/5 — It does its job

*2026-07-20, version 3.50*

I mean it’s good and all but the widgets are behind a paywall. Only difference between this and the normal weather app is that it’s got sliders and the numbers move.
