Really neat UI, very easy to use and very easy to read. However, at least for southern france, the data is for most days simply wrong. It's so often wrong, I had to put this review to warn. Use other apps (at least for aouthern france), this one cannot be trusted. I've been using it for most part of the year, and it only got a few days right; no station can get it this wrong something is not right.

Hello 4tune, Sorry to hear our forecast didn’t work out. Comparing Forecast and Superforecast is always helpful. When both models predict a similar weather, the probability of occurrence is highest. Use our forecast map to get an impression of the weather in your area. Check station reports and webcams to get a good picture of the conditions.

Nice clean user friendly interface. Easy to read compared to many other apps. Just enough information is displayed to let you know what you need without overloading you with statistics. The telephone app is good. I have an issue with the website though. I have a paid subscription but the page for the map and spot information contain to many ads. I understand the need to generate an income but the ads give it an unprofessional look. Overall for a quick clean reference, it does a good job.

Most accurate winds of any app I've used, and I've used a lot. Between this and NOAA ADDS, you have everything you need. I use the free version.
