Wildly limited behind subscription

Thanks for the feedback Wes, and I'm sorry the app isn't working like you hoped it would. The banner goes away once you hit "new" in the app once. It only shows up for people who've been using the old version of the app and updated. The update was now about a year ago so I'm happy to hear you're now on the latest version! The reason we had to make some features paid is to keep the app alive. High quality weather data is expensive, and before adding paid features, the bills had already reached more than $200. So between shutting the app down to not go bankrupt, adding ads, or offering new features for a premium, I felt like this was the only option going forward. I understand not everyone would've gone this route, and ads might've worked too, but I personally really dislike ads so here we are. The premium features do have a free trial that you can use to see if it's worth it for you! If it's not for you and you decide to uninstall this app, I understand. Thanks for giving it a try! — Nick
Great for internationals!
The widget is free and there’s now paid features that some of the reviews here have been frustrated with. the widget I’ve been using for years still works great and is still free! Paid features are optional, I get that app devs have to make money somehow. Good way to support if you can <3
Paid only?

J, thank you so much for writing in! First I want to apologize for the late response here. App Store ratings are screened by Apple before they get published, so it takes me a few days to get back to feedback here. Usually the email contact in the app is the fastest way to reach out and get support. There are now additional paid features in the app, but the widget you used to have is still 100% free and available just as it was! If your widget is not loading, that's certainly a bug and I've dropped the ball here. I would love to be able to offer support over email, I'm positive we can get this fixed for you. We've been able to fix everyone's issues within 24 hours of writing in. Thank you for giving the app a try!
App crash

Adam, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I'm sorry that it took a while for me to respond. The Apple review system takes a few days to screen new messages, so I couldn't get to this immediately. Usually the fastest way to get support is through the contact button in the settings screen or via emailing unit-weather@spreen.co I did indeed see your crash in the dashboard and have just published a version that fixes this issue. Please give 2.2.6 a try and reach out if you have further issues. Apologies for dropping the ball and providing a subpar experience! — Nick
Application not working
Response from developer
Hey Oscar, Thanks so much for reaching out! Email support is usually much quicker than writing a review here because reviews only go live after about 48h of Apple screening them. It sounds like I definitely dropped the ball here, I don't think I understand the issues you're experiencing fully, but if you're able to provide some context over email I'll be happy to try my best and resolve these issues for you! Anytime someone's written in with any bugs we were able to resolve them within 24h and I'm positive we'll get you right back up and running! The email is unit-weather@spreen.co Thank you for giving the app a try, — Nick
Very useful for those who want to see temperatures in both F and C

Thank you so much for reporting this, I'd love to get this fixed for you! Please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I'm sure we can find a solution to get you back up and running! Thousands of users have updated without issue so there seems to be something peculiar happening on your device. Let's get it sorted :)
useful Update
Almost perfect
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the feedback! It’s a great idea, in Version 2.2.3 you can now select the order of the two units in the theme settings! If you have further feature requests or questions please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I’m always looking to improve the app
F und C Wetter
Sehr praktisch
Good App & Very Good Suppprt
Great app. Widgets don’t work
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the feedback! After lots of testing on different devices and operating systems, I found a rare issue in iOS 18 for users with a tinted Home Screen. This issue was just resolved in Version 2.2.3. Please try updating to that version, the issue should be gone! If you have further feature requests or questions please reach out to unit-weather@spreen.co I’m always looking to improve the app
Very useful update
Quick response and does what I need it to
Highly recommend this app, I’ve used it close to 3 years and it works great.
Currently unusable
Response from developer
srie3, Thanks so much for taking the time to write us feedback! The NEW badge disappears after pressing it once. It does take a max of 15min before the widget refreshes (unfortunately Apple doesn't allow manual widget updates) but clearly I didn't do a good job communicating that the badge isn't there forever. I've taken your feedback and made the badge much smaller in 2.2.2 There will be some additional improvements soon in 2.2.3 to hopefully make the badge even less intrusive! Unfortunately, 95% of users never open the app and only use the widget, so I've been trying to find a good balance of showcasing the new features and making existing users aware that there are new things in the app. But clearly, I didn't strike the right balance here and dropped the ball. I apologize for that! — Nick
Plötzlich kostenpflichtig
Response from developer
Hallo Rolf_22, Danke für das Feedback! Alle Funktionen die bisher verfügbar waren sind weiterhin verfügbar und weiterhin kostenlos! Die neuen Funktionen dienen lediglich dazu den Betrieb der App zu finanzieren da ich mit >10,000 Nutzern mittlerweile mehr als 200 EUR für das Betreiben der App zahlen muss um die Wetter API zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die drei Optionen waren monatlich mehr und mehr Geld zu verlieren, die App für alle zu löschen, ODER neue Funktionen zu entwickeln für die einige Nutzer zahlen und damit den Betrieb der App zu finanzieren. Apple muss jedes Update manuell prüfen und diese Woche gab es eine lange Warteschlange wegen der neuen iOS Version. Mit "neu für iOS 26" kam man schneller dran! Falls du mehr lesen möchtest, (auf englisch) schau gern auf weather.spreen.co/update da steht mehr zu den Hintergründen dieses Updates. Schreib mir gern an yannick@spreens.de für weitere Fragen oder Feedback. Danke dass du (zumindest für eine Weile) die App genutzt hast! Als Indie-Entwickler ist's immer Schwierig die Balance aus Nutzen und Kosten zu finden. — Yannick
