Ratings and reviews

Easy to use and navigate, multiple options and info layers, interface menus in English and Hellenic/Greek, fast and simple. Overall, best weather app.

Lately it stopped storing my preferences, like language and last visited location. Otherwise a great app with very accurate data.

This is so comprehensive, and the information is beautifully presented. It's completely absorbing - and when we can actually travel to Greece again it will be very useful.
