Unable to link to sites, only to images
VERY disappointed in this app. I was hoping to link to sites such as HRRR, model sites, SKEW-T or even GOES 16 sites.
You are better off just creating shortcuts in your web browser or short cuts to your desktop to get sites requiring interactive input to work.
If the site link does not end in a picture format such as .jpg, you get a download error on right side of screen. In safari, I get the looping graphic image perfectly.
Also, once you do create a link, you can’t edit the link. You have to delete the link and start all over again rather than just updating a link within an existing menu option you just created.

Response from developer
The app was never intended to be a web browser, nor does Apple allow third-party apps to have wide-open access to the web unless they are billed as web browsers and contain many other security/privacy features and parental control features to protect users (possibly children) from inappropriate content.
The Best
Thank you for bring back landscape mode on iPad. The best weather app is now better than ever!
Thanks for updating the iPad version
Thanks for updating the iPad version so that it can be viewed in landscape mode and be zoomable.
Does not work in the UK
Downloads and installs ok but is limited to locations in USA
A full year?
I just bought a new iPad that can run the latest version of my favorite weather app. Now I find out landscape was removed A FULL YEAR AGO. Why no update since iOS 10?
Repeat deduction
Please check my account and I purchased the Outdoor Adventure bundle with Pro Altimeter duplicate deduction fee. Thank you!
Sad
This used to be a "go-to" app, but since they deleted the landscape mode, it's near useless.
The developers lost interest in the app and have orphaned it.

Finally deleted the app...
They removed landscape mode capabilities in early October. I have been waiting since that time for them to restore the landscape functionality to the app - finally gave up and deleted the app and am now looking for a better solution. I have to say, these developers must be REALLY lost if they can't even restore previous functionality to the app. Either way, I think that lack of landscape mode is information that a prospective buyer should be made aware of.

forgot something.
what dick said. why won't it go into landscape mode for ipad?
Please return landscape mode to the app
Never understand why an update comes along to apps, and the developer drops landscape mode. It is a necessity for the iPad Pro
Seriously?
A update to 3.0 to support iOS 10 that doesn't have a landscape mode on the iPad Pro?
Hello! You people ever heard of a iPad Pro Keyboard or Logitech Create?
Zero Stars. ZERO.

Functional but Portrait only.
I would like to see landscape capability returned.
New IOS wrecks Wx
An upgrade in weather service servers once killed the functionality of this great app & the developer had to scramble for weeks to restore it. Now the latest IOS is working its magic....It remains a mystery to me why this can never be anticipated and addressed beforehand. I guess its back to the old 'Forecast' app, again....Content and functionality over jellybean graphics and candypants-wearing millenial marketeer aesthetics, anyday, thanks much....(As in, eat MY shorts, o.k.?)

Doesn't work
Wx for iPad app does not work on my iPad Pro using the latest beta iOS. It launches, but will not allow me to add any locations. It allows me to choose a location from the map, but won't allow the choosing of any local stations. The "Use this location" link remains greyed out. disfunctional. I have no problem with the iPhone version using the same iOS. It works fine. The Star rating pertains only to this problem. The app is great when it works!

One of the more detailed weather apps I've seen
One of the things I like most about this app is the number of maps that are available that offer a lot of information besides a radar picture. As a pilot this bigger picture information is important to me. There are a few things I would like to see added to the app, mainly a way to change the units. This is becoming one of my most used weather apps that I use in conjunction with one another.

Better
The developer has made some good adjustments to the app's new GUI with this minor release — that aspect of the app is now quite usable.
However, there is still no way to get the good local NOAA forecasts, only the forecasts for their specific observation stations. This is not at all useful in areas with highly varying microclimates. For some users, this may not matter, in which case this is a good four- or five-star app.
For users in mountainous terrain, however, or for those on the waterfront, this app remains far less useful than it was before.

Used to be great, now too hard on the eyes
This used to be my favorite weather app. Unfortunately, the latest update replaced an easy-to-read appearance with a very harsh black on white scheme (think typewritten text on white paper). It's too harsh and jarring to be readable. I look forward to an added option to restore a less painful appearance

Thanks
Thank you for fixing the text forecast format. That is the first thing I look at for local wx forecast. Only thing I don't like is the bland white background.
Reliable and Complete
I have 4 or 5 weather apps on my phone at any one time. The weather in my area is changeable; a small wind shift can drop temperatures by 10º. So I check “early and often,” kind of thing. Of all the apps I own, WX is the most reliable and complete. Its Pro section offers 10 distinct seven-day forecast graphs, covering temperature, precipitation,wind direction and speed, humidity and cloud cover. Localized to the nearest NWS station, the data are complete and highly reliable. The precipitation models consistently beat all the others - possibly excepting Dark Sky. Likewise, the Wind Shift plot is dead on. I suppose that the home screen is not the most attracting landing spot. It certainly doesn’t look like most other iOS7 apps, but it’s easy to read and just like the Summary screen, give me the information I want at a glance. Well worth owning.

Background changed to all white
Hate the all white background intensely. All white is hard on the eyes and for me, much more difficult to read. Please at least give us the choice of background color. Otherwise, will have to find new weather app.
