About this app

Weawow is a free (and ad-free) weather app enhanced by beautiful weather-related photos taken by photographers around the world.
The photos reflect the current weather at your location, showing you whether it’s fair, cloudy, rainy, snowy, so you can decide whether you’ll need your umbrella or your sunglasses when you go out.
When you open the Weawow app, you’re likely to encounter unexpected "Wow" photos, rather than a boring, text-based forecast. And that’s not all: if you take "Wow" photos yourself, you can post your "Wow" photos from our Website. Then, we can integrate them into the app, where they’ll be seen by weather watchers all over the world (the app is available in over 50 languages).
The app’s layout is customizable, allowing you to select what to display like rain, wind gust, pressure, UV index, etc.
The Weawow is sustained by user donations. If you like the Weawow and want to support the Weawow project, please donate to us.
Of course, this is not mandatory, so please feel free to use the app.

Ratings and reviews

the only weather app that "works" for my use case. i need hourly temp and humidity forecasts; i live in a very humid area need this data to know when to open the windows. i like how you can customize a lot. i wish you could do a little more, for example having it open to hourly instead of showing the needlessly large-- even if shrunken-- overview card on top. but this app is the best in the game.

2 requests: #1 In radar view, when I scrub through the time frame, it frequently pans the map despite not touching the map. Was hoping this would resolve. #2 Make option to turn off image at the top. Takes up half the screen, forcing me to scroll every time I use it. Some may like it, I don't. Waste of screen real estate. Still a great app after all these years. Don't mess it up like Weather Underground after selling out. Don't screw up a good thing just for the sake of changing things! ✋

What I like most is it takes only a second or so to open. It has all the info I need at a glance. 4 stars, well 4 and a half, only because the radar is lacking; it jumps in increments of an hour and doesn't really show much. The rest of the app is great, though. To The developer's response: Going with Google maps changes the increments from 1 hour to 3 hours, not an improvement.
