So so app – AccuWeather: Weather Alerts Review

I was a regular user of Storm, but they deleted the ad-free option so I tried AccuWeather. It’s definitely different, I’m still getting used to it but I’m not liking it as much as Storm (ad free). The layout is different which is, well just different. You can get used to that. What I don’t really like is the map view. The radar is a little odd, but serves the purpose. There is no option that I’ve found for displaying wind speed and direction, a feature I really liked on Storm. The cloud cover is truly odd, lighter cloud cover has darker opacity and heavier cloud cover is lighter opacity, huh? That’s the opposite of what it should be. I’ve got the Premium version and it offers a 25 day forecast, well isn’t that special. The weather forecasters have trouble with tomorrows weather and they think they can forecast 25 days out? For entertainment purposes only ... Update: Still prefer the way Storm is laid out, the accuracy of the weather on this app is certainly no better than other apps, in other words, not very good. One annoying thing I have noticed is Notifications, I get FAR more severe weather notifications than I got on Storm. Most of them are repeats, if a winter weather advisory is posted at 9:00 AM I get a notification right away, if I turn the screen off I will find another notification the next time I open it, for the same original advisory. Once is enough, thank you!
