Custom Playlist (Coming Soon)?

I really like the app. I purchased pro because I wanted to support the creator, hoping the custom playlist functionality would show up soon. It’s shown in the UI as “Custom Playlist (Enterprise)”… and you please just make so I can just pick a playlist from my music library? This seems heavily based on WeatherStar 4000+, but I appreciate the nice enhancements. Keep up the good work!

Love this! Makes me want to stay on the app!

I remember when this display was the norm on tv. It make look nostalgic but it’s very useful and the background music makes you want to keep it playing in the background!

Finally, a decent weather app

The fact that it’s so stylish is just a bonus to me. Love the nostalgia.

Beautiful app lacking one little thing

This app is incredible and I love keeping it on in the background for visual/audio, but the one thing missing is a scanline option. This would be a full 5 if that wasn't a glaring oversight on an otherwise great app.

What a throwback

My favorite weather app. Reminds me of Sunday mornings as a kid when my dad would have the Weather Channel on in the background while we had breakfast.
