My favorite weather app. A little difficult at first to find info like "cloud cover %", also, I would like to have the previous day's hi & lo temperatures shown. Very nice daily visual charts of ranges in temperature, rainfall, & wind. Graphs of daily barometric pressures would be nice. Worth the one time fee, but I don't like other apps that want paid "subscriptions" every year.

Terrific app! And less than 2 years old. Already one of my top 2 weather apps (Shadow weather has proven very accurate for me) & I've tried sooo many other weather apps. Accuracy 1st or they're quickly uninstalled as useless. Lots of information & great presentation. Our family has lots of allergies & this app is exceptional with that. Only things I'd like to see is improved radar plus pressure trend rather than just a point in time reading. Highly recommended!

[UPDATE on Dec 8, 2021] It seems this app was updated in late November. I'm now using version 1.6.1. Unfortunately, the two major problems haven't been fixed. It still freezes. I don't know when it actually happens but maybe when the network is switched between WIFI and mobile network? Also, the notification turns completely white (blank) sometimes. So, I have to downgrade this app with three stars. Please fix them so I don't need to give up! I have found another small suggestion. The blue and red marks indicate low and high temperatures, right? When the horizontal time series does not show the times of low/high temperature of the day, the graph still shows blue/red marks for the low/high temperatures within the time range shown, which I think is very confusing. The blue/red marks should be for the low/high of the day, not within time frame visible in the chart. [UPDATE on Nov 19, 2021] I have been using this app for a week and still love this. But there are a couple of problems. The app sometimes freeze. I can't swipe, touch etc. I need to restart it. Probably related to this problem, the notification also becomes blank (totally white with no information). I have to turn off "Notification Bar" once and turn it on again. Please fix these problems as I can't fine a better (in terms of the information provided, stylish look & layout) weather app than this one! [Original post] In the past, I tried many weather apps. I loved very much the one I was using but it seemed it was no longer supported and getting buggy. So, I have decided to try this app. I'm so impressed with the nice, simple and clean look & feel. Symbols, colors, font style & size and layout & spacing are wonderful (I don't use the live background for simplicity). Very easy to catch up the forecast. I really like the order of the sections (current weather -> horizontally scrollable hourly forecast -> horizontally scrollable daily forecast) which is the same order as the one I previously loved. The notification with the current weather and three-hourly forecast with a line chart of the temperature is the best I have seen. It is a nice touch to add blue and red markers for the low and high temperatures. So, I will definitely use this app from now on. I have a few suggestions and requests. First and foremost, please, please add low/high temperatures in the main section, which most of the apps I tried do. Right now (e.g. at 7am), I have to horizontally scroll the hourly forecast to find the high temperature (e.g. at 2pm) or scroll down to the daily forecast section. Second, the current location was not accurate when I first launched this. It detected the nearby city. An hour later, when I moved to another room and went to "Manage Location", it showed the correct location. So, I wonder if this inaccurate detection happens a lot even within my home. Please calibrate this (many other apps I tried were mostly accurate). Third, please add a date header in the "More Details" layout for the hourly forecast. When scrolling up and down, it is easy to get lost on which day I'm looking at. I suggest to add a date like "Thursday, November 11th" between 11:00pm and 12:00am. Fourth, it would be great if I can reorder the sections. I want to see "Sun & Pressure" before or after "Precipitation". Along the same line, I would suggest to make the sun and wind turbine static. Why only these are moving while other symbols are static? Finally, I see the moon phase in "Sun & Pressure" but it would be also great to see moonrise and moonset and probably the animation of the moon similar to the sun's. Thank you for a great weather app! I hope you can support it for a long time so I can use it as long as I want.

So far best weather app! Colorful, useful, and choices! I wud like 2 see more widget choices esp size, make it customizable in everything be great! Putting temp nums up in notifications bar to run along w/ the screen being closed was awesome! I would love to see is no ads. There's overlap and its hard to read. If weather is raging I need to find the info quickly. I love how the backgrounds change as well as the widget according to weather and time of day. Best of all accurate weather reports

I've been using this app for a couple of months. I tried a bunch of other weather apps and I like this one the best. Simple layout that I can quickly see what the weather will be like before work. Hourly temp, precipitation, wind, ect forcasts have all been accurate (within reason). I've had zero problems with this app. It has ads but they are tolerable. I ended up recently paying for the premium version (one time payment) because I use it everyday and figured it's worth it.

All the glowing reviews must be using the paid version. I clicked on the icon to play the radar loop and it prompted me to upgrade to premium. Living in Florida, I need to know where the thunderstorms are coming from and how fast they're moving. Both Weatherbug and my local TV station's weather app have this feature in the free version. Unacceptable and uninstalled.

I have tried a few weather apps and this is my favourite. It has a great format and so many features. I wanted a breakdown of temperature over the day, rain prediction, radar, UV index (very important in Australia), etc. It's got an attractive background. It seems to have glitched out on me when I tried to search for a location today but worked the next time. It seems to have quite small towns as search options too.

Installed yesterday. I'm impressed enough that I purchased the app to get rid of the ads. Very nice app. Good info. I have been looking for one that showed the dew point prediction. Dew point is the real indication of how muggy it feels. Something I'd like is a smaller widget option. A small circle showing the temp and a icon for current conditions would be perfect. I don't need to see the time.

App started out great...nice graphics and easy to navigate. But the ads are incredibly annoying. Everytime I navigate to a new screen, one comes up that says "Final Step". I can close out easily enough, but it's a hassle. But worse was another one came up when I went back to Themes...it was a bible app that took a long time to finish, but then got me stuck in an endless loop to download it. No way to get out. Had to close app and reopen. That's a deal breaker!

Having tried/used multiple weather apps, this one has me very pleased. I'm referring to it very frequently and only complain about switching back to/from previously selected locations. Also would like a reference point or track for pressure changes. Another difficulty, the name is not distinct from other similar weather apps in playstore. Hard to distinguish "this particular one" in play store. Have had to use the "share with others" menu to really pinpoint this app.

I've been looking for a SIMPLE weather app with 3 simple functions. No stupid animations/background pics/dynamic backgrounds that can't even be turned off. This fulfills that. Ability to remove sections I don't want, and the ability to move the different sections to my preferred order. Nope and nope. All seem kinda simple, but apparently for app developers it's an impossible task. Uninstalled. I'll just keep asking Google Assistant until someone figures out how to make a simple app.

The app provides good information. The ads are severely intrusive. So severe that when I clicked on a weather alert that had been issued, a full screen ad video popped up. Had to wait before the close X appeared. When I closed it, it took me out of the app to the play store download area of the app that was just advertised! I had to force close the app to go back in and read the alert. I was trying to test run this weather app before paying for it, but forget it. I'll find something else.

I've tried several weather apps, and this one meets my needs the best. We have power outages and I need to be prepared. This app shows me when a storm is coming, wind velocity and gusts throughout the day. I receive 'weather alerts' that also keep me prepared. Because I have family throughout this world, I can also easily check the same information where they live. It's another way to be connected. Easy to use & very few ads. A great free app. I'm purchasing the upgrade to support the app.

App not showing up to date information. Only thing up to date is the time. Stays at a different days temperature. Reinstalled on one of my 2 devices and the temperature did up date but the 10 day forecast isn't advancing has the days from the 11th thru 20th listed and it's 16th. Exact as same issue on both devices. Samsung galaxies btw.BTW. I paid for the 4.99 for life deal. It also won't update my other cities weather screen stays a solid sky blue but blank. Update: everything works good now.

Update 02/18/2024: changing rating from 5 to 1; For past 4 days app stopped working, in that no information loads and I only get blank blue pages when trying to check forecasts for saved cities. I've checked Playstore for updates but nothing shows up. I've also deleted and reinstalled app, but this didn't fix it. I'll be glad to restore my 5 stars rating once issue is fixed. Using Android version 12 ******************************** Reliable and easy to use weather app. Thanks!

2/20/24 Looks like they fixed a backend data load problem - now working without an update/fix. 1⭐️ to 3⭐️ 2/19/24 Started OK. Loved all the data and presentation, but ads made it almost unusable (obscenely bad), so I paid to upgrade. Worked great...for a while. Now it doesn't work AT ALL! No data...nothing! Nothing but blank screens for well over a week now, even worse after uninstall/reinstall, restart, and all the other BS you're supposed to do for TS'ing. No response from tech support report.

Wonderful app, and can be customized. It gives temperature, wind speed, humidity and UV index at a glance. I appreciate the hourly and weekly forecast. The app shows temperature highs and lows with times. App even provides the weeks rain and wind forecast even air quality, barometric pressure, dew point. Lighting for photography! It has an allergy indexes for dust and dander, tree pollen, and mold pollen. Of course it has live radar and a bonus it shows the sun's position. Get this app :-)

Terrible or Brilliant - Wanted a decent weather app and almost immediately paid to upgrade as the ads were annoying, overbearing and stupid. Things started okay then went downhill - it constantly freezes, presents blank screens when it changes locations, shows icon and temp for nighttime hours in the middle of the afternoon, and just overall is a terrible program and an embarrassment to the developers. On the other hand, if your intent is to take people for their money - It's Brilliant!

I was confused by the high rating this app maintains and the huge volume of glowing reviews that convinced me to download. The only explanation is that people write reviews after only one or two times using it. The developers are clever to make a great first impression. Don't get too excited children, it won't last. On day two, features such as radar time line were disabled and replaced by upgrade prompts. Also, every button pushed now seems to trigger a full screen lengthy ad. NO WAY!

Easy to use. Free for basic use and inexpensive to get rid of ads. I appreciate the fact that I can monitor the UV index hourly, and I use this every morning to plan my walks. Only downside is they don't give the potential severe weather warnings that some of the weather websites give directly on the main page. you have to go digging through the details to find them and even then I'm not sure they give as much as some of the weather websites and that would be very helpful to have.
