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. ### 3/5 — hello *2024-08-03, version 11.0.0* 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, version 11.0.0* To sir, Please fixed it if you have time. Please fixed it immediately!!! Meteorologist Mark Schulz ### 3/5 — Погода *2023-04-18, version 11.0.0* Перестала обновляться информация по погоде. ### 3/5 — A couple of issues *2019-11-05, version 10.5.1* 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 Bitte korrigieren Dann gibt es 4 Sterne ### 3/5 — iOS 13 *2019-10-16, version 10.5.1* I’ve been using weather wheel for a while and it’s been great however when I updated to iOS13 it keeps crashing when I press on the card to see a more detailed weather breakdown of the day. ### 4/5 — Pretty helpful! *2018-10-30, version 10.5.1* I like the way this app is designed, I originally got it because premium was free for a day. I have one request though, I live in a desert, and I heard that different places have different wheels, so could you make a desert one? Other than that, this app is pretty helpful! ### 4/5 — Good *2018-10-19, version 10.5.1* The app is good, but I would like to report that for many locations in Italy the sun animation is not synchronised with the right sunrise and sunset hours: in Milan the sun does not go down at 2 pm in October! ### 3/5 — Nette Idee, schön anzusehen *2018-10-07, version 10.5.1* Toller Ansatz! Schön umgesetzt. Kleinere Makel: • Warum geht bei euch schon um 14:00 die Sonne unter? • Wenn ich den Schieberegler zügig bediene dann weiß ich oft nicht genau, ob die Wolken, die gerade durchziehen, noch die Wolken von z.B. 14:03 sind (die noch „durchziehen müssen“) oder schon die von 16:00. Könnte man die Landschaft etwas kleiner gestalten und die Wetterkomponenten dafür etwas differenzierter und weniger simplistisch? Oder vielleicht eine Anzeige für Kinder und eine für Erwachsene? Danke für die schöne App! ### 4/5 — Not made for hunters but excellent app for deer hunters *2018-09-21, version 10.5.1* Idea of scrolling through weather is brilliant and I’m recommending to my friends. Found my location. One fix needed - wind arrow points the wrong way And though it’s not made for hunters, addition of barometric pressure would make it a grand slam ### 3/5 — Schönes Design aber Werbung 🙁 *2018-09-09, version 10.5* Das Design ist mal was ganz anderes. Ist eine Art Comicdesign und sehr einfach zu steuern. Leider ist die App aber voll mit Werbung, was einfach stört und im Gegensatz zum Appdesign unschön aussieht. ### 1/5 — No Canada, eh??? *2018-09-09, version 10.5* So you say you added more countries just 23 hours ago but NO CANADA??? Is our money good enough for you but our country not good enough for you??? What's the deal? When will you add Canada??? I just bought the lifetime Pro version only to find out that you don't even include the country I live in!!! Thanks for such a great App that totally ignores a great country! Otherwise I would rate it higher than 1 star but until you add Canada, one star is being generous for an app thats useless to me! ### 3/5 — Ganz Nett aber.... *2018-09-09, version 10.5* ...Es wird viel zu früh dunkel! Um 17 Uhr wird es dunkel und um 18 Uhr ist es Nacht...Aber doch nicht Anfang September in Deutschland. Und Sonne und Mond sollten nicht durch die Weltscheibe scheinen. Das muss verbessert werden, dann gibt es auch 5 Sterne. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-09-09, version 10.5* Still seeing annoying ads after premium unlocking ### 1/5 — Paid for premium, now with ads! *2018-09-08, version 10.5* I’ve purchased this app a while ago but with the most recent update, they’ve downgraded all users to an ad-serving tier. Only way to remove ad now is to pay a recurring subscription fee. What kind of paywall do you plan to keep adding to users that’s already paid? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I think the abandoned this app? *2025-04-18, version 11.0.0* Insanely slow. Spinning wheel of death. No results. Had high hopes though. Was probably good at one time? ### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchases *2023-03-10, version 11.0.0* 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. ### 1/5 — hängt sich nur noch auf *2019-10-12, version 10.5.1* Die App hängt sich seit geraumer Zeit nur noch auf. Habe sie gerne benutzt, nun aber hat sie keine Funktion mehr. Schade. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-10-01, version 10.5.1* This is no longer working after the latest ios update. Please help. ### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 13 *2019-09-29, version 10.5.1* Crashes when I click on my city ### 1/5 — Got problem *2019-09-25, version 10.5.1* once clicked card, app will crash ### 1/5 — UGH *2018-09-13, version 10.5.1* WAY too many notification alerts for all over the US with NO way to turn them off. I don’t live if Texas or Oklahoma or New York, their weather alerts don’t concern me. Alerts should only be for the locations you enter to monitor weather, not places you don’t. ### 1/5 — Mala *2018-09-09, version 10.5* Cada vez que se cierra la app vuelven a mostrar anuncios en la versión “pro” ### 1/5 — slow with bugs *2018-09-09, version 10.5* Everything in it is very slow. In case you get the lifetime offer you will see here and then ads and a message asking to subscribe when you try to add some more cities. I do not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need help *2020-01-02, version 10.5.1* How do I delete a location? ### 5/5 — Simple, beautiful *2019-07-20, version 10.5.1* I like this app. It is simple, but has cute/beautiful styled animations. It has a lot of potential. Shout out to the little Pride flags!! ### 5/5 — Adorable app! *2018-09-01, version 7.0* This app is really beautiful and easy to use. :) Great job! ### 5/5 — Amazing Weather App *2018-02-24, version 7.0* Thumb up👍 ### 5/5 — Very good app *2017-07-14, version 6.1* This app tells you when it's going to rain in real time also this application is really good for people who work out in the weather outdoors and other stuff like that ### 5/5 — Excellent weather app *2017-06-06, version 6.0* This is elegant in its simplicity. The update was an excellent improvement although I would like to see the temperature icon also relocated to direct line of sight. I was able to set location for even remote areas I never thought I would find. It is easy to use, visually appealing and, using my own location, it appears to be reliable. I recommend downloading this interesting weather forecasting app. ### 5/5 — Weather wheel *2017-05-18, version 5.5.5* Works well, I have my home location and 2 cities from different parts of the world. Instantly I get the current weather for the locations. Good app, thank you ### 5/5 — Really cool *2017-04-29, version 5.5* A unique and cool way to look at the weekly forecast ### 5/5 — Perfeito, mas falta PT-BR *2017-04-17, version 5.5* Esse aplicativo é simplesmente perfeito, era meu sonho vê-lo traduzido para PT-BR !! ### 5/5 — Very Cool! *2017-03-12, version 5.5* It's simple and beautiful! I love that it speaks the forecast! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
