we travel the country to save horses from slaughter and bring them to rescue organizations or sanctuaries. We depend heavily on this amazing app, but last week it stopped showing any forecast data, on all devices. This glitch was fixed, we’re safe again! Thank you!
Enjoy anything that can give me an edge in looking at weather data.
This is an unusual app, in that it displays model forecasts across any size region. It’s extremely helpful as a contrast to the new crop of “micro-targeted” apps that provide the same sort of information about one specific point - which are great if you aren’t going anywhere, or don’t want those kinds of forecasts tempered with any larger context. My only complaint: it’s not clear which model provides the data; it would useful to know the provenance of the information (or perhaps even to be able to choose). Again, for a point forecast this isn’t the tool, though, and while there are reasons to discount certain models for specific reasons in specific instances this is a great help as is.
I really like this app! I use it for every outdoor activity where weather prediction seems important. For me this includes my occupational activity as a rancher, and recreational activities including sailing, mountain biking, and negotiating mountain passes in winter. Love the ability to get the big picture, and then zoom in for the local perspective.
I have come to really rely on this app for travelling, boating, event planning, star gazing. I especially like the big view showing the systems on their way in, where they just sit, and where they progress. It has taught me a lot about larger weather systems that affect our local weather. The wind layer is also very useful for predicting times for sailing or boating, and when we had wildfires in the area last summer the wind information kept me a step ahead of the advance of the fires. Also use it to decide when to haul my telescope out at night, looking for clear night skies. Well worth the price, I consult it every day.
This is an adequate weather map app. However, it does not offer the option to display a surface analysis chart — if it did I would give it five stars.
I only wish the cloud cover wasn’t so intense as to cover the map. Otherwise it’s very useful.
