Reviews
Great, but
Jasmith8
LOVE the angle here. Rain is a regular worry where I live, so I am always monitoring the chance of rain. This is the only app that leads with that data point. BUT, I also really want to know the current temperature. And this totally ignores that. Which is weird. Those two data points seem far more telling combined than each is individually. Please add the temp and you've given me everything I need in a weather app all wrapped in a really great minimal design.
Nice

This is a nice app that works great. What I want to know most often, the quickest is; is it going to rain? It would be nice if they add a little graphic for temperate too.
Almost Perfect

Very beautiful design & love the Notification Center widget. I've just noticed that the chance of rain updates very slowly or hardly at all. Please fix this to where it will update more frequently.
No updates unless app is open

The app badge and the widget do not update unless the app is running in the background. What a hassle. Take a queue from the Fahrenheit app and do it right.
Sleek & Functional

Love the widget! Well-designed app with accurate forecasts and great functionality. The rain alerts are a great feature.
Function Pitiful

What good is the widget when you have to open the app for the widget to update? I use the widget because I don't want to have to open the app.
