I want to like this app, but can't. The use of multiple weather sources is good and there is lots of info and possibilities to configure it. But the app design is not up to standard. The GUI lacks a permanent home button, so if you looked at several weather spots on the map, you have to click back through all of them before going back to the home menu. Also, the weather station database seems messed up. if I click weather stations near me (NL), I end up seeing info for UK spots. Sorry, but no.

Good app content, but horrible notifications: splash screen to sell the premium plan almost each time you open the app. The worst are random push notification to notify you of the premium plan. No privacy/notification options among the Settings. They use data from GFS27 so other apps offer the same content and less annoying UX. Another annoying pop-up is the "There's an update on the app" pop-up. My phone updates all my apps at night while charging. Why is it so important to update right now?

Good app. The only data i'm missing is the air quality, which is also very important when going outside, especially with asthma (or if you want to prevent getting it). Also a fire chart would be a great addition, but over all the data is complete and the weather charts are actually very informative, compared to many other apps. The maps works pretty intuative, i can place my finger on a spot and it shows the wheather there. Something your co-named competition recently changed.

Whatā€™s new

Rain, Rain, Rain

Precipitation forecasts just became more detailed and accurate with 9 additional weather models! Perfect for fall, right?

Open the map, switch to ā€œRain,ā€ and try a model other than GFS27. Watch thunderstorms, weather fronts, and other heavy weather head your way so you can stay prepared.
