Ratings and reviews

Totally infested with ads that are difficult to dismiss (close buttons don't work, etc.). Tried to open Settings and a video had to play first. There's a pro version but the free version hasn't been updated in 8 months. Why buy if it's been abandoned? Plus it's tied into WeatherUnderground, which is buggy and unreliable. Over all, the app is pretty poorly done.

Latest update made the app worse. Asides that it wiped my settings and I had to set it up again the app no longer refreshes the weather data on launch despite the setting set to "yes" on refresh. The full screen ads that have appeared are intrusive. The icon is blank when moved to the home screen on Android 14. The graph function is still a bit temperamental and the wind rose doesn't make much sense to me. But otherwise it's ok, there's not really many alternatives other than the WU site itself

Its a good start. On the plus side I already have a WU account and my PWS all setup so I found the connection between that and the app easy. All of the stats produced from my PWS are there and can be viewed in either 1 or day day mode (I have set to 7 but can't work out how to go back to 1 day). All this info is displayed in pretty much the same format as WU, they have added a nice wind direction feature which is nice There's much room for improvement though; Other reviewers have already noted that it would be nicer to swipe between wind stats and the rest of the data. I agree but would go much further. You should be able to select each of the graphs to make it full screen. Never mind 1 or 7 days global setting this should be fully adjustable (WU supports daily to monthly modes and holds lots of data) so that you can change it per graph, allowing you to zoom in / out with ease. Why not have a custom graph function which allows users to add / remove parameters? That's what we're interested in, seeing our own data. The interface overall would benefit from a review, it just doesn't look 'crisp' and seems cramped (I'm viewing it on a S9+). The was an Apple App called Wunderstation (now discontinued) which may serve as a fine example of what can be done with the data and interface, the developers could learn a lot from giving it a review - I wished it was available on Android and have been looking for something like it for a couple of years. All in all this App has lots of potential. Right now I think I'll keep using the website but if they can improve it I might switch and if they make it good enough I'll happily give more stars and pay
