Weather ۬

I couldn't stand the weather channel anymore bc of the nonstop ads and news stories that I don't really care about. This app is what it promises to be. I was going to give it four stars but when I compare it to the other apps out there that are super shady this one stands out for its decency. A single non-intrusive ad at the bottom of the screen, with the option to upgrade to the premium version for a single one time payment. I don't know about you but I would STEER CLEAR of any weather apps offering you a subscription...that is ridiculous. Also I looked at the reviews on some of the 5 star apps...they are all written by people who do not understand English...Another red flag for an app. Sorry to talk so much about other apps but it's why this one is good...the developer seems to be genuine.

This weather app is nothing to write home about, but it’ll do - at least, the iPad version isn’t so great. Case in point (on the iPad); there is no key map... you know, something to tell you what the little symbols mean. Like humidity. Which one is which? It looks like rainfall(?), expected rainfall (?) and humidity (?) are basically extremely similar. There is no explanation for what any of the symbols are. Also, no indication of whether the humidity is rising or dropping (indication of an arriving or departing weather front)... none of the symbols indicate that info, so whichever symbol is humidity, it doesn’t indicate that. Also, the little arrows next to the temp, being wind direction according to the help info, doesn’t explain where up is (it just says it’s pointing in the direction the wind is blowing)... is up north? Also it provides no air quality index. Also (this would be nice to have), it doesn’t provide any recent past information... like, it’d be nice to know just how cold it really got last night, or yesterday... maybe last week). Having said that, this app is my go to app, it’s the first one I check for temp and future weather events. HOWEVER, If I need all that other stuff (see above) I use another app, or apps - which sort of defeats the purpose of having a weather app). Jus’ sayin’...

I got this app because I needed to know what weather it would be in a day or days. So I got it. And it was for free. And I’m really glad I did because it’s very convenient. I love the idea of colors for how bad the weather will be. Especially because there’s a scale telling what color is bad, good, or in between. OR between that. I love this app. And congrats to the producers who made it. BUT, there is two problems. First, it once said that it was going to rain 90% at 4:00. Then, when it was 4:00, I looked outside and it wasn’t raining. So I checked this weather app again, it it moved to 5:00. 90% chance. And then it was 5:00, and it wasn’t raining. I looked at this weather app AGAIN, and it moved to 6:00, 90% chance of rain. And this continued the rest of the day until 12:00. Secondly, it will FREEZE SO BADLY. But, to be honest, I’m not sure if it’s my WiFi, or the app. But the WiFi that i have around my area rarely freezes. So those are the two main problems I have. But, all in all, this is a really nice app. I also forgot to mention that this app is also ad free for FREE. Again, congrats producers! Even though I have these problems, I still enjoy this app. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
