Ratings and reviews

Excellent. All the information you need on one screen. Great for travelers as the app can use your location to provide local conditions. Higher level subscriptions provide more timely updates. Data can be viewed from nine and selected from up to nine sources depending on the subscription level. The app is continually updated and improved. VERY responsive tech support. NO Ads and NO tracking.

Long term favorite weather app from a responsive developer. Love the graphs, maps and depth of customization available. But the best feature is the high end data sources available with gold support. This is the the weather app for those who want to interpret things for themselves with as much time and location accuracy possible. As a long term user I am happy with all the improvements made. Especially the hurricane tracking. I would love to see a total precipitation overlay (like sun & moon).

I just discovered this app, and am thrilled. It will be a better replacement for my current app that is no longer effective. I love the customization capabilities (even in the free version) and the widget is useful, it displays so much weather information in a compact format. This is a great app for those that are weather fanatics.
