Wx for iPhone User Reviews

Excellent Small Weather App

This app is excellent! A huge Thank You to the developer for maintaining this app over the years. If you’re a visual person like me, the graphs are indispensable (especially dew-point), and I love that the source is straight from the NWS. The app is small but mighty, and doesn’t rely on gimmicks. 11/10 I use it all year long!

This Is Really Nice!!

Had the AccuWeather App for quite a few years, (even endured their money grab barraging me with advertising to purchase their monthly subscription), but this WX App is much better!

Love it!

Don’t change it!

Informative and Reliable

There are other apps out there with more funding and a slicker UI, but this one consistently delivers the best information.

Wx for iPhone Works Great!

As a long time Dark Sky user I began looking for a new weather app when I heard Dark Sky was being shut down. I tried many weather apps and rejected them all due to inaccurate weather predictions, monthly subscriptions, poor app layout, etc. I then found Wx and it is one of the best apps I have ever purchased. Wx is nicely laid out without being cluttered, provides accurate weather data for my area, and is quick to load while being easy on battery life. My thanks to the developer for a reasonably priced app that is well laid out and works great. Job well done!

Best weather app - ever

WX is the best weather app of all time. I’ve seen dozens of apps come and go over the years and I always return to the first app I installed on my iPod all those years age: WX. Always works, easy to use, and never a request to pay for updates.
(I am hoping the developer releases an update to support the new NWS radar format. I’d gladly pay 4.99 just for that)

Great, want to see a couple more easy features too!

It’s great that you can add custom map links, as this allows me to access ‘latest’ images for a lot of different less mainstream maps like GMU, SSEC, or NCAR upper air maps.

However, we can only link jpegs, and it would be amazing to add functionality for animated GIFs and PDFs as well, which would open up a lot of additional options for providers that only use those formats, like many of the NOAA products like GOES, and others use. Right now when I try to use an animated GIF or PDF it just says “download error.”

Nonetheless, great app, customizability is an awesome feature that the other apps don’t provide.

13.1 Not able to add locations 🤨

Yep

Response from developer

Scroll to the bottom of the location list and tap "add location", then the app will walk you through a few questions to setup data sources. Not too complicated.

packed w/ great info but hasn’t been updated.

I love weather apps that decide to get their info directly from the source (NWS).

Great app for any weather enthusiast but minus a few stars because it appears as though it has been abandoned. Would love to see an update for larger screens.

Response from developer

Two updates in 2019, one update in 2020, one update in 2021. Definitely not abandoned.

CELSIUS

Needs a Celsius option.

Not bad

I like the flow of the prof, but it seems you cannot use complex urls, or possibly just https. Please include that.

Thanks

Crash!

Just crashes on launch. Bought with package.

I still miss the neon digits…

Hunter Research & Technology makes truly Fine applications.

I’m still disappointed with the loss of the neon digital display which was eliminated many updates ago…
The neon LED type display was what made this app stand out from the others for me. I guess I’ll just have to get over it.

Must have app

Now in saying that in the title I have had the app for about a year about a month ago I went to open it and its just shuts off. I tried again and it did the same. It works great wit my ipad but still cant get it to work with my iphone. I bought the bundle and th rest works flawlesly Im sure Ill get it working 2 months ago I would havegiven it a 5 star

W T F ?

I have two airport locations on my iPhone that are 15 miles from each other, I live 7. 5 miles from each. I checked each this morning 1/9/17@0600. The northern location info taken at 0453 the southern taken at 0455.
Somebody's radioing the findings! 44* and 63* wind from the West 270* @ 7 mph and Northeast 050* @ 23 mph with identical barometers @ 30.46 and dew points/ RH @ 41F / 89% the other @ 48F / 60%.
This APP is only as good as the operator. In this case -- the northern airport it's 44*.

One of My Favorite Wx Apps

I have 3 favorite weather apps.
Wx is the one I refer to first, and use the most. The text information and alerts are accurate and very informative. It's a beautifully designed and intuitive, easy-to-use app. I like how easy it is to save favorite locations, so you can see the weather forecast for your favorites, for family and friends, or places where you'll be traveling. I like that you can send weather and alert information via email or texts to family who might unknowingly be traveling into bad weather conditions. It's a great, reliable app, with no ads! :)

Wx is the best

Gives me just what I need in weather. Simple layout. Beautiful.

Worked around crash

iPhone version on my 6s Plus crashed every time on launch. iPad version works fine on my iPad Pro.I deleted the iPhone version from my iPhone and App library and re-down;oaded the Wx for iPhone app and reinstalled it. That fixed the problem. Works great now.

Excellent

I think this is the second review I've written since owning an iPhone (circa 2010). I have to write this one. My absolute favorite weather app of all time stopped working with iOS10. I thought that was it. But NO!! You did it!! Thank You!! Great app and so glad to have it back.

Great so far. Lawbrd

I just got this app two days ago and like it very much. It has all the info I need and I really like the radar map!!! Very good job!!

Super Useful

I do a lot of work on remoter communication towers on mountains. When we need to know the weather forecast and wind speeds this is super awesome.
