Decent if you live near a reporting station.. Firm believer in the NWS to source my weather data. Accuweather changed their interface and forecasting forcing me to spend for this app. Reasonably priced and numbers match my yard weather station.

Good information. Shows tide charts, barometric pressures, wet and dry bulb temperatures, humidity, relative humidity, annomometer? wind speed and directions, hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes, lightning strikes after occurring, atmospheric conditions, parts per million air pollution, and I’m sure there’s more but I slept since then... Oh and the 5 types of clouds and ultra violet index. Rodger Out.

Great. This provides me with very accurate weather conditions where I live. I have found that the app provides more information for our rural area than we can get from tv stations and the details and timeline are perfect.

New to me. Setup well for my liking!. It is to my attention that this application is well detailed and constructed with precise software that keeps the numbers running smooth and efficient. Still need to dig deeper into the application as I am transitioning over from the desktop version from my online. I like that the forecast discussion is tabbed at the bottom that way I can read the forecast instead of being told the forecast. The devil is in the details😉

National Wx. Nice weather app with a lot of great features, most of which one won't find in other weather apps. The widgets are excellent. Satellite images from GOES. Radar overlays on maps. Ability to choose from hundreds to thousands of zones and point sources for current conditions. Excellent app for USA and North America. NOAA and NWS forecasts and conditions. All nicely presented with an intuitive interface. I use this app and Hurricane Tracker. I wish there was a macos desktop application. It's obvious that a lot of thought and work went into this application's design and implementation. Well worth the price point.

I Love It!. I searched for a weather app that would give me the whole story on the weather and not just pictures and temps. I love this one so far! It gives me a much better understanding than the picture apps do.

Best weather app. This is fantastic . All the information you need to know what the weather is like and what it will be like. This is the most in depth app I’ve found.

The best weather app by far. It’s been a long time since I found an app that fulfills its promise to the extent this one does. The specificity of the forecast, not only geographically, but also in terms of content is excellent!

Horrible weather forecast for my location. I live in Prescott Az. And my home is located in a higher elevation than where actual town is and the weather is different than town area. I thought by buying this app I would get weather prediction on my location. Dark sky always gave the weather at my address. But with this app. Not the case at all and weather discussion does not even have Prescott area on it. Very sorry I bought this app, thought I was getting more than dark sky app but I guess not

Very handy app!. Simple and clean. You won't get all the glitter of some weather apps but in exchange you get ease of navigation. Love the hourly forecast table with dew point, predicted precipitation, etc. - almost everything you'd want to know in one place! I do wish the row headers to the left of the hourly forecast table stayed in place rather than scrolling with the data, but that's a small thing.

So much better than TWC. This app gives us accurate weather forecasts including expected snow fall levels, storm warnings, and up to the minute weather changes - vital for Colorado living. It’s so much more reliable than the competitors. Glad I found it!

NOAA text discussion. I needed a quick way to see the local NOAA weather office text discussion, but most the other apps don’t include this, or make it very difficult to find the text. This one makes it easy to read the latest narrative update.

Great app. Houry forecast with dewpoint and windspeed and direction and other info all on one screen is extremely useful. Using dewpoint is a much better way to determine how humid it feels than RH and of course some other apps dont give you windspeed and direction so with this you can plan for windy days as well as temperature. The radar is a still radar, not animated but is still useful. The developer receives email and responds promptly to feedback and suggestions.

More data, less fluff. Yay!. Much more data intensive app, with less superfluous fluff, which often disguises a lack of content. Excellent program! Coding is clean and efficient. One wish: a landscape orientation option. I have this app on both my iPhone and iPad. Landscape is my default viewing option on the latter.

Detailed App. It’s a really good app that I found to replace another app that was no longer updated for new ISO updates. I like this app because it has a detailed text forecast, giving approximate times for precipitation or weather changes, versus horrible, meaningless graphics. It’s accurate and reliable.

Mostly good. For some reason, at the top of the forecast page, it shows a location in NW Indiana instead of where I am in Illinois just south of Chicago. The forecast is usually a bit off, so I look to the NWS for an accurate forecast. Other than that, it’s decent. I like the satellite imagery.

Perfectly Logical. For years I looked for an app that provides quick basic information about the current weather, This is a great app both accessible and practical. You will find me using this app daily.

Great for NWS info!. Great app if you like weather info from the NWS. Although I have not been able to use the widget still. When I try to select which satellite map to view through the app, it crashes. I have an iPhone 14 as well. It just won’t work for me. The app though is still great with all the NWS forecast models you can check.

Excellent App!. We live 7 miles north of the Rio Grande River. We’ve managed to grow Mangoes, Papayas, and Star Fruit in our very large yard. All three are quite sensitive to freezing temperatures. The trees can take a fair hit, but the blooms and fruit are very fragile. The “Hourly Forecast” that’s available on the app’s front page is incredibly helpful with its, geographically accurate, point forecast in determining how and where to use limited resources to protect the trees, blooms, and fruit. So far we haven’t had to deal with a hard freeze this winter but thanks to the app, we’ve been able to sleep with a high degree of confidence that we’ve done all we can to care for our trees and their fruit and blooms.

Very good app. Highly accurate, easy to read and understand format. They are right more than wrong-especially in Spring and Summer; yet a bit less accurate in my area during Winter here in the Memphis area. That said I know snow and ice are very difficult to forecast just right. DTY

Solid textual weather. This is the most straight forward weather app I have ever used. I’m an airline pilot so I get information from many weather sources. When I want to know what the weather is going to be on the ground, this app is by far my favorite.

Simple raw data access, but missing current conditions. I appreciate the ability to quickly view raw NWS data. That said, some simple charts is the data similar to what NWS provides on their website would be nice. More importantly, the lack of a current conditions pages seems like an oversight? For this to be an all-around useful weather app, I really want to be able to open the app and see what the current conditions are. The next hour in the forecast page doesn’t match current conditions all the time. Please add a current conditions page

A lie. National Weather Service doesn’t own it, they bill you within three days and yet they never stated anything like this when you download it and you have to turn it off so they won’t bill you if you agree to any of it and then they trace you and everything you do under their jurisdiction says it in black-and-white and they’re a little terms of service agreement it’s 100% scam don’t use it

Very nice but could be better presented. I wish there was better visual summary of the seven day forecast. Then below would go into detail. It's more difficult to scroll through and read each day with small visual. Wish I could hide the map. Once I pick my location I feel I don't need to see the map any more and larger view of weather detail. I like data and hourly detail. The summary could be better presented

Feels Like a Great App. Has just about every weather forecast data imaginable. Awesome app! One improvement would be if the app would show the calculated "feels like" temperature, rather than trying to figure it out from the temperature, humidity and dew point.

Easiest to use and incredibly accurate.. I live in SeaTac Washington, and I have remote cabins in the central Cascades of Washington state and another one in Willow Alaska. The cabins are powered by solar and the Washington cabin has a Starlink’s Internet system. I’ve tested this app in my area by climbing 2000 feet up a mountain next to my cabin and I’ve taken temperature differential readings between the my cabinet one elevation and 2000 feet higher. And the temperature readings were accurately reported on the app. That’s pretty darn amazing. I’ve tried many weather apps over the years and this one is by far the easiest to use and incredibly accurate.

This app used to be great.. This was my go to weather app after accuweather went to crap and only showed their over simplified forecast, but this app has gone down hill in the last year or so. It used to be a simple app that showed the radars and forecast, now the radar maps are hidden and there are a bunch that are not really radar maps anymore they are predictive over lays and recently it has wildly incorrect, like it is telling me that it will be in the 90s and snowing for the next few days.

Great info. This is a great app for very accurate weather predictions and current weather forecasts. This is a must have for weather junkies. No cute gadgets just weather!!

Just what I was looking for, fills a gap. I have no use for the mainstream oversimplified weather apps, and have long preferred the state of the art NWS localized forecasts. This app packages that data, especially the immensely valuable hourly charts, much better than the NOAA website on a phone browser. Very easy to find the spot forecast for nearby points, too - just tap on the map.

Serious about weather?. This is the news behind the news. If you are a weather junkie, farmer, outdoorsman than you want to see the in-depth reports that only our weather service can provide

Not for us casual weather enthusiasts.. I was bummed when NWS Now went off. They had clean and understandable tables and info. Even a meteorologically challenged person like me could get it. I thought this app would replace it. Not even close. Their radar satallite is streaming and it takes forever to download and you can do anything with it. The hourly section has a lot of data that is not user friendly to me. The only thing I keep it for is the NWS Discussion, which isn’t theirs anyway.

Great Rendering of Best Forecasts. I’ve found that NOAA has the consistently best weather forecasts, and I used to keep a browser tab open to see what was coming up. This app relays the same local weather information and adds nearby station observations as well. This app is a favorite, and I refer to it daily. Recommended!

The best arrow in my quiver. Before I downloaded this weather app I had seven others and they all do several things. However, most only do one thing really well. This app does everything well. It is absolutely the most accurate with regard to temperature at any given time during the day. I’ll probably end up deleting most and perhaps all of the weather apps and end up keeping this one as it is really all that I need.

NWS Forecast Data. If you want the best data, the most complete data and the data that we citizens actually pay for...choose this app. Support our scientists and not for profit companies. I love this app and will use this exclusively. Thank you

Still has a bug. Every time this app is updated, I hope a long-term bug has been fixed, but it’s still there with 1.4.8. I open the app in landscape mode on my iPad, and it shows me the summary. So far, so good. But if I then click on “hourly,” everything flips to portrait mode. Even worse, the only information available is wind speed and direction. The data above it is blank. This happens most of the time and is unique to this app.

One of the more useful weather apps. Really enjoy using this app. I find it to be one of the better weather info apps available. My only suggestion would be to make the legend a bit easier on my eyes. Differentiating the colors of the small squares is somewhat difficult for me.

Really impressive. This combined with RadarScope is really all you need. I was using the free version for months and recently switched to paid. It’s one of the best out there and makes the darksky- type weather apps look downright silly. Highly recommended!!

A lot of information. There is a lot of information, unfortunately, perhaps partly due to my ignorance, it is not the easiest to navigate. I am not certain of all the acronyms for the different charts, so I end up poking around awhile until I find what I am looking for. Perhaps some explanations for those of us who are not meteorologists to make navigation a bit easier.

Awesome app based on national data. Nothing but great things to report about this app- it takes a while to get used to the map system, but otherwise it’s a straightforward way to get a daily weather report based on national data that’s more accurate than what Apple is giving you without putting (extra) money in the hands of questionable corporations.

Really like only wish there was portrait mode for iPad. Great app just wish there was portrait mode for my iPad:) Update, June 22, 2020 Was advised by developer newest update now includes landscape mode for iPad. Just updated & now works great! Highly recommend:)

A Real Weather App. I’m not interested in hype but need to know what’s really coming an when. I’ve been keeping a daily rainfall log since 2007 and this weather app is the only app that mirrors my rain measurements.

Great Detailed Reporting. I love all of the detailed information that’s available. I’ve especially gotten hooked on the hourly forecast as I use that to time my pool pump when we have a scheduled freeze at night. Had a small issue that turned out to be a setting on my phone but got great support in figuring it out and resolving it. Highly recommend this is your main source for weather information.

The perfect weather app. This is a great app for weather—very quick with just the right features. And you can dig deeper into radar scans etc if you need to. And it’s accurate!

Love this App. Great app with all the info you could ever need. I just wish in a future update the row headers would slide when going through the hourlies, but still a 5 star app.

Love it!!. Live in the Texas Panhandle where the weather changes every 15 minutes. Use the app every day. Most accurate weather app I have ever used. Love the pinpoint accuracy. Worth every penny!!!

Great App. I had been a paying member of the Weather Underground from 2005 till whenever corporation that took it over put an end to that wonderful site. Their mobile app had become especially unworkable. This week I decided I could no longer tolerate the disgusting ads so I went looking for a small independent producer and I am very pleased with the results. I miss being able to go to the radar layer and watch the storms approach but I can still do that on my laptop. Maybe there is even a way to get radar on this app?

Pro policy needs to be clearly communicated, map layers are slow. I downloaded the app about a week ago and then found out that hourly forecasts require the Pro version. But I didn’t see any price listed or detailed explanation of what this includes until after downloading. This needs to be clearly communicated up front. After posting the above, I did receive a very quick response from the developer saying that they will consider my feedback for future updates. So I can say that I’m very impressed with the customer support! However, paying an annual subscription fee is still asking a lot, for my specific weather app needs. Based on my experience with the free download, the forecast maps and current radar are rather slow to load compared to MyRadar. And for daily forecasts plus a while lot more, Weather Bug Elite fits very nicely with my needs and budget. The Living Earth app has spectacular graphics and thousands of forecasts worldwide. Those are the apps that I consider as my baseline for comparison. 🙂

Where is the 7 day hourly forecast?. What happened to the 7 day hourly forecast? I’ve been enjoying this app for years and now one of the most useful features has been removed. Don’t tell me I now need to be a Pro user to access this feature?! Help me to improve this rating please.

Needs improvement. Good data but... Needs to lock the left column of hourly data so as you scroll through the days you know what row is which data Needs to rotate to landscape view when user wants Needs dynamic radar Could use better surface charts and progs.

Love satellite widgets & fast support. I’m very impressed with the graphics of the widgets showing visual pictures of different areas/ regions in different colors… They show clouds & storm systems (IE atmospheric rivers ) entering Northwest Washington state US .This helps us Plan on best woinwalking condition with our dogs…😁🐾 I contacted developer support and I had a reply within about three hours… then with a few tweaks I had my widget again after a developer upgrade just for me and my Apple SE original phone… How awesome is that!😁that’s awesome developer if you ask me😁

Simple/Concise. Unlike many other wx apps, the NWS provides an easy to see and read presentation. (For this old man! LOL)

Fabulous app. Predictions by our national weather service. It’s where everyone gets their weather data. Why not go to the source?

Just one thing. Five stars if you can get dark mode.

Misleading; non-intuitive. The App Store fooled me into believing this app is by the NWS, but it’s a private person or company app. It is not at all intuitive. I wanted to see point forecasts for my area, but it is too much of a hassle to figure out how to get there.

Best Hourly Data Available. The hourly data presentation on this app is the absolute the best. Great detail and duration without the drama. The app would be 5 star if the weather radar overlay was animated.

Slow (updated). The app has been updated to address my issues. It now performs as advertised.

Pay or blank. Shows less info than other free apps unless you pay.

Just a small request. Love the AP. Just wish it could be used in the landscape. Very cumbersome to have to turn the iPad when using it.

Value. Why waste time with tv weather reports esp taped video, for < $1/mo get real time reports and maps from the SOURCE, NWS where tv weather gets data

Nice presentation of NWS data. A good presentation of NWS data that is quick and easy to check from my phone. The only thing I would add is support for metric units (something even the NWS website does).

Voice. I wish there was a voice telling the weather! I enjoy that!

Great weather app. I find the hourly projections the most helpful. More detailed than other apps. Seems very accurate

Use This App for Extended Forecast. This app provides pretty good info even for the weird microclimate I live in.

LLW rocks. The best of six weather sites on my iPhone! Easy to navigate among its multiple pages and charts.

Awkward and Confusing. No matter how hard I tried, I cannot find a way to specify a city forecast. Apparently, there is no search feature for a location or city. Maybe it’s there but, I sure can’t find it.

Customer support. Fixed an iPad issue within a week. During a holiday. Amazing.

Great info. Love this app, and that most of it is free. Very detailed information. I like the visual map and radar.

Pay pigs. You really don’t get any useful information unless you subscribe. Pay up or everything you want to know will just result in a pop up telling you to pay them money. We’ve gone full circle, it’s now easier and more efficient to just turn on weather channel again.

Great app - map layers far too slow bringing in data. This would be a good app if it wasn’t for the slow downloads of map data. I’m on fiber network so it is not my network speed. One of the best part of app is NO ADS. Thank you for keeping it ad free!!

Good app but more info would be better. Good and reliable but more detailed info in layman’s terms would be appreciated.

Snow forecasts are the reason!!. Snow forecasts are the reason and hazardous weather and weather advisories are the reason I downloaded this app! Very very helpful in the Rocky Mountain states!!

Wish there were some presets. I would like to be able to choose a few locations as my primary to see weather ingo

Great info. This is a great app for very accurate weather predictions and current weather forecasts. This is a must have for weather junkies. No cute gadgets just weather!!

Useless without paying Premium. I found the national weather service website helpful as a commuter by Bike after losing my vision to drive. But i'm deleting the app. Thanks for rubbing salt in my wound. Only those who have excess funds can afford to get data that might help keep them safe.

No trial period. Don’t get to see what premium features you are asked to pay for look like before paying. Needs a trial period. Also, pricey for what this does, which is regurgitate the NWS forecasts with little alteration.

Functional, helpful, visually dull. I love how succinct and helpful the weather summaries are. I just wish it were more visually beautiful.

You get what you pay for. I didn’t waste much money but what I did spend was a waste. It’s just a feed from NOAA. What’s worse is that it will notify you of the existence of weather alerts from NOAA but there is no link to get to the actual alert!!! Don’t bother if you’re looking for real weather without commercials. No commercials but just a subpar rehash of free govt data.

Excellent app!. Recently downloaded this app and love it! Would be great if long range temp outlook maps could be added.

Greatest weather app yet. I can’t believe this is a free app. The level of detail is unbelievable. Try it for yourself

Disappointed with app.. Disappointed that I don’t get any weather alerts for severe weather, or air, pollution, warnings on my phone

The Best Written Forecast. The best written content of all the weather services I have downloaded. Always my #1.

Worth subscription costs. A good one

Great app, needs a few more features. I love this app. Easy to read, easy to find weather forecast for future dates. Wish it had wind chill factor.

Not even close. This app is so far out of sink with the weather predictions that it makes the tv people look great.

Great app!. Very accurate information and much more reliable than the Weather Channel app.

Disappointing. This app is really good, but it doesn’t have a landscape orientation for the iPad. If that annoys you like it does me, then don’t download it. That was a let down after reading such great reviews.

The best. No better app out there I’ve tried them al

Excellent. One of the very best weather apps available!

Convenient. Fast way to access an accurate weather forecast for your area.

CD43. Very accurate and detailed weather app. User friendly too.

I have to pay for almost everything. I just wanna see the hourly forecast why should I have to have premium when I can just go on to the National weather service website

Anywhere weather. Looked at a lot of weather apps for one that had Phantom Ranch weather forecasts, all others just drew blanks, very intuitively user friendly

Point forecast only... no other maps!!!. I just paid for this app because of the extra maps, forecasts, etc. All I have access to is a spot forecast.... no other maps of any kind! False advertising... do not buy this!

Weather. It’s great for general weather but when you try to get an hourly forecast it goes blank. I need to know forecasted wind and temperature for my job and this app won’t give me what I need.

Nice Work. I am a chronic surfer and sample all sorts of forecasts. NWS/NOAA and their sites/apps are the best. All the rest just regurgitate the NWS/NOAA data anyway, and then pretend it’s theirs. Such a joke. And the NWS/NOAA interfaces are better anyway.

NOAA. Support NOAA in any way you can. Their work is invaluable to every one of us. Thank you

Great App. Accurate, easy to use, all the local information I need. What more do you want?

Great app. This is a great app for getting NOAA weather data. The programmer works quickly to fix the bugs and even answers his own support requests!!!. Type of guy that is nice to support.

Daily Forecast?. Apparently, I can only view the daily forecasts in summary form unless I pay for the pro version? That just won’t work for me. I suppose I’ll have to put up with the incessant ads of my current weather app for a while longer.

Amazing user interface, clean design and fast data.. Amazing user interface, clean design and fast data.
