Looks good but still learning stuff.

Great weather

Hooker Setter

You have the most complete and up to date weather information. Helps me plan my day.

Developer is very defensive about misleading consumers to think that this is a free app. If the developer chooses very high end and services and the costs are too expensive in order to offer the app for free s/he should be upfront about it and charge money for the app. Offering it for free and then charging a subscription fee is like a bait and switch operation.

Stops completely if you don’t pay

I expected that my specific “pro” features would go away when my subscription ran out. But instead, the whole app stopped working. Lame.

Great weather ... but s-l-o-w and buggy app

UI terrific. Generally very accurate weather, and good arrangement of the data on app, but the app loses two stars each for (1) excruciatingly slow loading and geolocating (15-20 seconds, if at all) — very slow with WiFi download at decent 75 Mbps and Verizon the same — and glacially slow loading of the widget (geez, it’s a widget and shouldn’t take 15 seconds to load); and, (2) the watch data is likewise slow to load and, in a recurrent bug, data such as temperature NEVER changes in the watch face complication or matches the forecast; plus, no multiple locations as with native weather app on watch. All latest hardware and software. Not jail broken. Very disappointing by developers. This will be my last subscription on iPhone and iMac.

Decent

While this is a decent free weather app, it heavily relies on my iPhone to work, if I’m out of range of my iPhone which I tend to be a lot it doesn’t work on its own through my watch it seems to need to have the app reopened on the phone to load any data. If this is fixed I’ll redownload, for now I’ve switched.

Great ... but

UI terrific. Accurate weather. But, geolocation continually fails and needs reboots, several times.

Con Job

Easy Death Sky

App will not remove its dysfunction message on iMac because they want even more money from me, even after paying for iPad/iPhone service. Will be deleting this app. Good weather info but folks don’t like being nickled and dimed, and don’t like being positioned to pay in a suspect way, i.e., the con job!

Mediocre at best

Brian Binder

Wanted to get a 3 day trial since I tested the app in 10-2016. They didn’t have an option for that and said to wait for a monthly subscription. Bought it anyway and the radar is pretty crappy. The implementation is poor and the “you are here” indicator doesn’t always show up. Also, the overlays don’t work well, either and reappear and disappear randomly. Ick. In addition, they answered questions for me until I bought the app. Then they stopped communicating with me after they got my money. Apple Watch app doesn’t work well but it’s the prettiest when it actually does work. Updating it is slow and it just doesn’t do it reliably whatsoever, even when you request for the update. Overall if I had to do it again I would not buy it. Not updating a weather app in 6 months with all the bugs I found should have been my warning sign. Buy it at your own risk and deal with the bugs :(
