Straight to the point Wx. Just needs a map/radar.

Only thing missing is a map/radar. Otherwise wonderful app!

Radar and Precipitation Push Alerts

Recently discovered this app and found out it is the source for some weather apps. Wish it had radar and precipitation push alerts along with AQI. Then I’d say it would be a pretty complete app. Seems pretty accurate so far.

Confusing icons

I like this app a lot.. especially the minimalist design. But the various icons for sunny, cloudy, rainy etc aren't easy to differentiate. The "few clouds" symbol looks almost like the "rain" symbol. And why is the sun even included on a symbol for rain? "Overcast clouds" looks the same as "drizzle". And what's the difference between a "shower rain" and "rain"? The symbols should be easy to differentiate at a glance. The only symbol clear in its meaning is the one for sun. And lately it has been WAY off on temperatures! It displays temps 40-50 degrees LOWER than reality!

Snow inches?

During snow forecast, it doesn’t report inches of snow, it reports inches of rain. Not very useful. Also, the forecasts are kind of questionable up here in the Pacific Northwest.

Great replacement for Dark Sky

The OpenWeather website has a radar though... if the OpenWeather app had a radar, then this would be the perfect minimalist weather program. Apple's official weather app has so much visual garbage, and frustrating to use.

The worst support I’ve seen in my life

Do not use this app or buy a paid version of it - if you run into any problems - the support will be pinging you back and forth asking you questions instead of providing any answer to a very direct question. Wow. What a waster of time.

No Weather Radar

It’s not bad when you compare to other Weather Apps which are filled with tons of Ads and the interface is clean and simple similar to how Dark Sky was before Apple took over. The only feature lacking in this App is the Weather Radar it’s probably due to the cost of aggregating weather radar information across the U.S. so if your a person who doesn’t mind the lack of a Weather Radar this app might be for you.

Great minimalist weather app!

Love the minimalist, easy to read interface! I hate all the ads in the major weather apps which slow their loading time and this is a great alternative to those. Like many others, the lack of a map keeps this from getting 5 stars. The easy to read hourly forecast and “precipitation within the next hour” features make the map less necessary though.

No landscape on iPad

This app only supports portrait on iPad. I have an iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard, so portrait-only is a non-starter for me.

Weather App with no ads

It’s refreshing to have a weather app with no ads. I wonder though how they make money.
