Ratings and reviews

It has multiple forecast models and an uncluttered presentation of data. I would prefer the wind direction arrow to be replaced by a compass cardinal direction (N,NNE,NE etc.) or degrees (°). Another point worth mentioning is that the forecast time doesn't stay where it is. When looking ahead to the next day it should 'remember' the time position e.g. 10h throughout.

I am loving this as a quick place to compare forecasts. You can change or view all forecast models, and save multiple locations for comparison. The app needs to be supplemented with another to see maps, but it fills a niche that no other source does.

Basic app compared to well-known ones, but good and simple. No bells and whistles, animated maps, etc. Offers Icon model in Europe (and other high resolution models, depending on area) which is excellent.
