### 5/5 — 預報精準備

*2025-09-11, version 7.0.3*

感覺預報不太準，常常寫著下雨卻整天都是好天氣，參考性不夠，但介面很不錯，資訊也很完整

### 4/5 — Love pixels! But a few suggestions…

*2025-02-22*

I love the 8-bit vibe of this app. But here are a few suggestions:

- main index (scrollable temp, air quality, forecast, etc): allow uses to decide what to display and the order in which they are displayed. For example, I have little need for an air quality or UV index, given where I live. 

- add a weather icon legend under the gear menu: like, why does a rainbow signify “fair” weather? In winter, no less. 

- add a way to view dew point, wind gusts, and barometric pressure. In Carrot you just tap the day’s temp and a separate screen opens which allows one to view the above measurements all together (I use their Dark Sky copy for my layout…I miss Dark Sky!). In fact, it would also be nice to also be able to add these separate data points onto the scrollable index. For example, I could choose to first see the temp, swipe to see the dew point, swipe again to see the forecast, etc etc. 

I’m thinking of trying to figure out how to buy (or build?) a Pixel Weather Station…is there someone who builds them for you?

But I do love the look of this thing. Sorta wish I could mod the colors, but no biggie.

### 5/5 — 請問中號小工具問題

*2024-11-13, version 7.0.3*

請問中號小工具的款式能不能考慮新增 星期一到星期日降雨機率之類的，或者是X時陰天 X時晴天這樣

### 5/5 — The Weather That Keeps On Giving

*2023-02-19*

I got this weather app because of its cool retro vibe. It looks like the love child of Prodigy and a Nintendo. It dares you not to take it seriously, but then you find it does a great job of telling you the weather. Then add in that it has all sorts of features, information, and hidden gems. What’s not to love? Seriously, I just want to live inside of it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your favorable review of the application. In future updates, we will add more interesting elements and features to it.

### 5/5 — Humidity watch complication

*2023-01-13, version 6.0.2*

Hi, love the app!

Could you please add humidity as a watch complication. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Gran aplicación

*2022-12-24*

Agreguen el idioma español, combinación de colores y de iconos para la aplicación

**Developer response:** Bien, gracias por su feedback, se programará la adición del español más tarde.

### 5/5 — Really nice design

*2022-06-15*

I love it!

**Developer response:** Thanks ❤️

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-09-10, version 5.3.3*

I purchased this specifically because it said it would work on my watch. It won’t even open on the watch. Money badly spent. I’m mad disappointed.

### 3/5 — F to C

*2021-09-07, version 5.3.3*

How to change Fahrenheit to Celsius ?

### 1/5 — It won’t load

*2021-07-17, version 5.3.3*

I wanted to love this, but it literally just sits there with no weather info and never loads. Am I doing something wrong or did I just pay $5 for an app that doesn’t work?
