Ratings and reviews

Edit: looking forward to the addition of aurora's to this app!!! Best forest app there is! The cloud models accurately predicted clear skies on Monday April 8th in Maine 10 days out! It's not always perfect but that's weather for ya! Rarely predictable. I love the ui and the app is easy to use and is an enjoyable experience!

Not sure what's going on. I've had the subscription for 2 years now going on 3 and this year the models seem way off for predicting storms/rain. They weren't perfect to begin with. But about 3 days in advance I could get a good idea. Now it's just random where it decides it's going to rain and have storms that never matches up? 5 stars for the 2 good years. But I might have to cancel my subscription now and look elsewhere unfortunately.

Brilliant weather app!! All the weather information you need..... on ONE PAGE!! Visual, graphical, and numeric data for the whole week... on the same page with interactive satellite images coordinated with graphical depictions and data numbers. On a small screen phone the numbers and icons are pretty small, especially the wind direction compass making it difficult to read the wind direction. Totally my "go-to" weather app....

What's new
