I started out with seven different weather apps and have used them side-by-side for over a year. Several were discarded early for either lack of detail or poor interface. I now have three remaining, but this one is always the I check first. It has a very complete interface, easy to use and has been accurate for my area (New England).
This is a reliable, well-performing app! Use it regularly for local and long-distance planning.
Like all the different data choices. Takes too much time to load sometimes. Could use graphic updates from time to time.
Whenever I start to get ready for my vacation, I pull up the Weather app and it lets me know what to expect for weather. Makes packing a whole lot easier.
Overall the best that I have found for local weather. Radar displays somewhat inflexible.
...that on occasion, one of the panes of data fails to load, specifically the one that shows the forecast for the next few days. Aside from that bug, it works very well and is quite intuitive.
Great to have this tool on the iPhone. Use it all he time. Interface could be easier to navigate. But great app.
