Track every city that matters to you — home, where you're traveling next, where your family lives — and switch between them with a single tap. See the forecast that actually fits your day, not a wall of numbers built for one location. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Multi-city list at the heart of the app Add the cities you actually track. Reorder them. Switch context in one tap. • Weather radar map See cloud and precipitation patterns on an interactive map so you understand what is moving toward you, not just what time it might rain. • Scenario modes Commute, travel, and outdoor views surface what is relevant for your context — pack light, pack a rain jacket, or reroute the run. • Weather change notifications Stay aware of significant weather changes for cities on your list. • Hourly and daily forecasts Read the next few hours and the week ahead at a glance, with clear, readable layouts. • Clean SwiftUI design Built natively for iOS 17 and up. Fast, quiet, no clutter.

ON THE ROADMAP This is v1.0. The multi-city core, radar map, scenario modes, and notifications are here first. Widget support, Apple Watch, and additional data layers are coming. We read every review and reply to feedback. All your cities. One tap away.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WeatherRadar Basic at none against Nimbora's shown. WeatherRadar Basic also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
