## What is WeatherWheel?

With WeatherWheel you get it all. A beautifully designed weather app with a practical overview, weather alerts and a fun, but useful way to browse through your weather-forecast!

A very cool world-wheel defines our core component. This wheel allows you to move in time. While spinning the wheel, the weather changes in realtime.
We tried very hard to put in lot's of details. For example: The sun is rising exactly, when it is rising in the real world too. (same with the moon, moon phase, the whole weather,...!)

You can watch a very cool 5-day-live-weather-forecast commented by Siri. Just lean back and enjoy the show. This is also pretty incredible for disabled people.

Weather alerts through push messages. (Data provided by NOAA's National Weather Service)

HOT & NEW: Precipitation radar!

We designed localized world-images for the following countries:
- USA (NYC, SFO)
- Austria
- Germany
- Switzerland
- France
- United Kingdom
- Brazil
- Italy
- Australia
- Japan
- China
- Russia
- India
- Turkey

More are coming soon. Send as an email with the country you want to see next! The most wanted countries will be added within the next weeks!

WeatherWheel is also perfectly suited for kids (to learn about the weather) and blind people, who can explore the app through Siri and her spoken forecasts.

### 4/5 — Welp.. it's gone.

*2026-01-25*

RIP WeatherWheel. It was a great little app, but now it no longer works for iOS and 16+. If the dev could fix it, it would be so great.

### 1/5 — I think the abandoned this app?

*2025-04-18*

Insanely slow. Spinning wheel of death. No results. Had high hopes though. Was probably good at one time?

### 3/5 — hello

*2024-08-03*

So weather wheel is not working at all and it won’t let me do anything

### 2/5 — Not working at all

*2023-06-10*

To sir, Please fixed it if you have time. Please fixed it immediately!!!

### 3/5 — Погода

*2023-04-18, version 11.0.0*

Перестала обновляться информация по погоде.

### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchases

*2023-03-10*

I own the pro version, after reinstalling it says that i have no purchases to restore 👎

### 1/5 — Completely inaccurate forecasts

*2020-02-10, version 10.5.1*

The report is consistently inaccurate compared the the built in weather app from Apple. They must be subscribing to a cheap news casting service because it is shamefully wrong ALL the time. I hope you didn’t pay for this app.

### 5/5 — Need help

*2020-01-02*

How do I delete a location?

### 3/5 — A couple of issues

*2019-11-05*

First...where is the support?  The second is why is the moon always a half moon?  Would be great if the moon would change phases.

### 2/5 — Hängt sich auf einem iPhone XR auf

*2019-10-19, version 10.5.1*

Auf meinem alten Hat die App wunderbar funktioniert auf meinem neu iPhone funktioniert es
Nicht mehr
