On its way to being the best weather app available!
I have paid subscriptions to the top three weather apps, yet I prefer the simplicity of Weather Atlas. The developer of this app has obviously noticed the need for a great weather app that does only that. No videos, no pictures, no weather commentary, no references to anything except just the weather... done right. I do hope they will soon incorporate a "Future Radar" feature. Current and future radar are all that matter in a weather app...no one cares about where the rain was an hour ago. The developer says that as soon as this feature is available from their information provider, they will add it to Weather Atlas. That’s all anyone can ask for. Impressively, Weather Atlas opens and immediately shows the two most important things to me, the local map at the top and the hourly forecast at the bottom. And from there it's only one tap to any other place you want to go. Also, even in the ad-supported version, Weather Atlas doesn't make you scroll through a bunch of weather-related pictures and videos to finally see the radar and other components (like The Weather Channel does, even for their paid subscription). Great start to what I think will evolve into a really great weather app.
I am a weather app junkie. My folder of weather apps on my phone is overflowing. My favorite is hello weather which I happily subscribe too for $4.99. But hello doesn’t have feels like temps in the hourly forecast. I still subscribed minus a feels like in futures hours. Weather up shows that data which so why I was so excited when I stumbled on this app. I do a lot outside so it’s critical I can see the “feels like” temp 3 hours or so from now. At first I was ready to subscribe to weather up until it was time to get the dogs outside at 9p. Weather up said the feels like temp was 16. So I bundled up ready to brave the cold. Much to my surprise it wasn't cold at all. I opened another weather app and the swing was a wild 20 degrees higher. As much as I cringe at the $9.99 annual fee (rather high for a minimalist weather app) this app needs to have other weather providers to choose from (like hello weather). If they do I’d be inclined to subscribe. Though $5.00 is more where I see this app but I’m an old Man that still doesn’t get the whole subscribe stuff. Great app to add to my weather collection but I wait patiently for an update that brings more providers since the current app provider (whoever that might be?)does not work in my neck of the woods. :-(
I find weather up to be a fascinating app, but I have decided to end my free trial and follow the app from afar to see if they can improve the experience. If I primarily used a weather app on my iPad or even iPhone I would snap this app up in a flash even in at 4x the cost of my current weather app. The way it opens to a radar map and super imposes weather stats over that map is brilliant and the speed is breathtaking. Unfortunately, I primarily use weather on my watch. I use the modular watch face with six complications and I use those complications all the time. I want a quick peak at the weather which when clicked leads to a more detailed view. I am unwilling to give up my large rectangular widget space to their very nice widget and I have found using the widget in a stack to be too cumbersome. I also wish for the ability to customize what weather data I see. Perhaps they will add a wider range of complications in future releases. If so, I will try it again.
I heard David on The Talk Show podcast and decided to give Weather Up a try. I am glad I did. This replaced Apple’s weather app. I was always a fan of Weatherline’s visual and Weather Up does an excellent job with this concept and more. The widget is the where this app shines. At a glance I see the week in advance. The line connecting temperatures is a great visual to quickly see the fluctuations in daily temps. Now, add to that the cool “rain bars” (not sure what the tech term is😁) that, not only show chance of rain, but also when in the day it may come! ALSO, it’s an interactive widget! Tap on a day and you get an hourly breakdown. You can also choose between three different weather sources to pick the most accurate for your location. In summary, you need this app!
You can’t beat ¢49/month! Thanks for making a great paid weather subscription for a price that is actually reasonable. Love the UI and especially the customization options. One suggestion: make an app icon with a solid black background for those that like to keep their home screen minimal by using the solid black iOS wallpaper. That way it would stand out because the cloud and sun wouldn’t have any color behind on the black background. Make sense?
I read great things about this app and had just installed it on my iPad to check it out. I passed through the widget orientation screens, and when I was done I thought I’d be dropped out into the app’s UI and be able to look around. Instead, it put me into a subscribe/start free week now panel that I couldn’t get out of without starting something, and I had to force quit the app. I get the free week trial thing, but if I’m going to start a free week trial, I want to do it on the device I’d be using it on, and when I know I have time to evaluate it, neither of which happened to be true in this case. All of this to say.. it feels bad to have to force-quit an app the first time you launch it. Consider putting a “Bail out” button in that panel?
Purchased for iPad Pro 10.5. I own several weather apps so was tempted by this one. A few things that need polishing IMO: 1. Zooming/moving screen causes the stream to completely refresh each time. Not so bad normally, however the refresh takes an unusually long time. 2. The panel at the bottom really has to have an option to hide. Feels intrusive. Really noticalbe on iPhone 6S Plus. I realize it was designed with the iPhone 8 in mind, however a hide option would solve this issue. 3. Would really like to have the ability to see dew point. In hot/humid climates, this along with the heat index is really useful. 4. For some unknown reason, after having it installed for a few hours, the iPad version started crashing. Not sure about the iPhone version as I use the iPad version the most. Fix these issues and I'll change my rating to five stars. Update: Latest version has provided some improvement. Developer's response to my concerns indicates they're serious at this point. Raised rating to four stars.
There’s a lot to like about this weather app, but it slowly became one I never used. The Apple Weather app has become really good, with simple info available at the forefront, and TONS of details if you dive deeper. Other weather apps just couldn’t compare. But Weather Up has been given a new spot on my phone with its interactive Home Screen widget. Hands down the best way to currently see the weather data you want. I hope this is a sign there will be more feature improvements coming, and not another long hiatus between any updates. So far, very pleased I purchased it years ago.
I love the UI of this weather app. The only thing keeping me from using this app as my go to is the horrible widgets. I don’t want/need 3 widgets, that’s just poor design to me. Just make one that shows me pertinent information at a glance and expands to show an hourly forecast. Give me the current temperature, weather conditions icon, wind speed and precipitation chances at a glance and I’m happy. I can tap into the app if I want more information. The UI of the current daily & hourly widgets don’t even fit in the box and there’s no option to expand. Seriously not sure why such thought was given to the app and the widgets were kind of just thrown together. I will not renew my subscription if this is not addressed.
I just did the free trial to see how I like it, and to see if it can replace my beloved Carrot Weather as my go-to weather app. I decided I needed a bit more time with it, so I subscribed for an additional month. I found myself using it multiple times per day. I find the map-first approach to be unique and something I didn’t know I wanted until it was put in front of me. My only two requests would be: 1. Offer other widget sizes. I would especially appreciate a 2x2 size 2. A lock-screen widget
I have used this weather app for years now and I really do like it. There is simplicity to it while also having a lot of quality features and good flow to it. I think the Map UX is really clean and its nice to see multiple places at once that you have marked. I I have contemplating upgrading to the paid subscription but this app has not been updated in almost TWO YEARS! That means no Widget support yet, no new features, and no consistent updates to ensure everything works smoothly. If Weather Up adds iOS 15 Widgets and more app updates, I think more people would gladly pay for “Pro”. Until then, just another seemingly abandoned app.
I love the app. Very good for what I need it. Love the features and all. What I don’t like is how the app likes to “forget” I have a subscription. And for some reason the Restore Purchase button can’t be selected. I have to uninstall the app and re-install it again. It’s very frustrating. If it wasn’t for this, i would give it a 5 star. Thanks. UPDATE: I won’t be using this app anymore. They haven’t fixed their little glitch/problem. It was good while it lasted. Maybe if they fix it I would install it again. Thank you for the service. But I rather spend my money on something that will be working.
I have used several weather apps and Weather Up has become my favorite. The widget and map-centric approach is an inspired design choice and makes it compelling to use on the iPhone, the iPad, and Apple Watch. I enjoyed listening to the developer interview on The Talk Show, which provided interesting insights into the thinking behind making the app. The support is very responsive and friendly. Highly recommended!
I love it that I can easily scroll through hourly temps, precip forecasts and humidity into the upcoming hours and days. Response is quick and interface is very clean also appreciated. In my snowy area, extensive radar is crucial to have which this doesn’t provide with future forcasting so I use another app for radar only. Like I said, experimented with over a dozen apps but rely on this one every day on my iPad.
I desperately wanted to like this app and was willing to pay $40/year which seems a bit pricey but I’ve seen the explanations as to why. Maybe $36 or $30?? Anyway, I spent so much time trying to figure out how to add a location to the app that I simply gave up even after I finally finally got one new location added. It appears the only way to add a location is to scroll around the map and hopefully click the map and get it to register the location properly so you can add it. That sounds intuitive but it isn’t. Especially when the map constantly zooms out. It shouldn’t be this hard. Even if I missed it then it means it is still too hard. I canceled my subscription. Maybe I’ll revisit it later. This is nitpicking but I wish somehow that wind be speed was shown on the hourly track. 50 degrees no wind is different than 50 with 10-15 mph winds. Worth mentioning is I tried this because of Daring Fireball.
Lots of fancy screen shots for widgets but the actual widgets are limited in size. You can’t get into the app without agreeing to a subscription. Sure there’s a free 7-day trial, but the only reason to gate-keep the entire app and require a subscription is in the hopes someone will forget they’re subscribed and keep paying. I find this behavior unacceptable. The app should come unlocked for 7 days with a trial count down and then solicit the user for a subscription. I think there are better weather apps out there, with better widgets, and more honest-up-front subscription models.
I'm always looking for the best, most accurate weather app. So far, this is my favorite. I also really like the widget, which is the first info showing in my Today view. Also easy to see at a glance your favorite cities' weather. The temperatures, wind & humidity are amazingly accurate when compared to my local weather apps. I like the expanded radar view that can be set in motion to see the direction precipitation fronts are moving.
Dark mode looks great!... except for the icons. All of the icons (esp. Classic) all need to be edited and saved with transparency. As they are now, the icon files were saved against whit backgrounds... so when you turn on Dark Mode, all of the icons have white halos around them, and they look terrible. I hope this gets sorted out because I just bought a subscription and while the icons look flawless in the standard white background, they need much love for me to even turn on dark mode.
This app is truly all about the widget, both on the iPhone home screen and as a Watch complication. Hands down, best weather widget I've seen yet, and among the first to have any kind of interactivity. Nicely done! The widget is currently available in just one size and can't yet be used on the iOS lock screen or Standby mode, but hopefully those are on the roadmap somewhere.
I love the widgets, but I am puzzled as to why these great views are not available in the app itself. Am I missing something? The app on the iPad seems to only offer a map vie with a tiny info box, none of the great summary charts found in the widgets. The widgets are beautiful, informative at a glance, full of context. The main app has none of this. At a minimum I would like to see the widgets themselves, with more room to breath, in the main app. For now, I will stick with Weather Strip, which is ugly but very dense and informative.
Nice app, best part is I can see a list of multiple locations’ temperatures at once. I also like seeing the big map, and then zooming in on the place I select. Only complaint is, it’s very sensitive, and I keep brushing the map by accident; then it zooms in to where I touched it, and gives me the weather in the middle of the ocean - or wherever! On the other hand, it is cool that it can do that...
I love that you all are making it easy to use this app with simple controls and most functions at the bottom of the screen. The info on the map is great too with its simplicity . A few things I would recommend... add a slider for the radar loop so I can move between time frames at my own pace. Also I can’t view forecast or alerts while radar loop is running. The drawer just closes after a brief moment. Great start and I'll be keeping my eye on it.
I don’t write too many app reviews. And this one is a long time coming. I’ve had Weather Up for probably over a year, and it’s been beyond good. The developers are always improving. The weather is more accurate than you’ll find in the stock Apple weather app. It has radar. It has customization features. You want it, it has it. Get this app.
There are many other weather apps that provide much more features and accessibilities than this app....for FREE! Yes you have to pay now days to get all the extras but there is a difference between a monthly subscription and a one time fee. Weathermate offers a complete set up and has info that’ll actually encourage the user to buy the pro version because the app itself is just awesome. But don’t settle with this app as it has limited use that offers useless info that all the other weather apps already offer for free and have much more.
I check the weather on my phone a lot more often now. Weather Up is simply a delight to use. So carefully considered in every facet of interaction. I do kind of miss the Dark Sky-style "will it rain in the next hour" hyper-local forecasting, and it would be nice if locations synced across devices, but those small nits should in no way discourage you from trying this app. Once you do that, my guess is that you'll want to buy a subscription.
This app is however amazing! Never had a weather app this good! This app has super cute stickers that have every emotion, Especially, this cloud, down below! Amazing app, totally get it! Have some fun with this app! Love this app and hope you do too! And No problems as far as I know! Has real weather and date, and very organized app! 5 Star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for a amazing, free app! Get it for Sure!
Nice app but Pro cost at $9.99 per year is outrageous. Most apps I’ve upgraded to Pro were a $4.99 one time charge. A $9.99 one time charge I feel would be a little high but may entice me to upgrade because I really like the app layout and function. But I would NEVER pay $9.99/year to upgrade any app to Pro with possibly the exception of a golf GPS app. There are many other weather apps equally as nice than can be upgraded for a one time charge. Remove the per year fee and you have another customer.
It’s probably a relatively decent free weather app but I find other free ones better. When it comes to the subscription, it basically offers 2 things: - removes ads: not worth $3/month for me - calendar integration: to call this integration is a joke. What the app essentially does us show your meetings/events in the app. However, integration should mean that for my meetings that have a location, it shows the weather in that location. Of course, it doesn’t seem like the app can do that. Reached out to the dev to make sure I’m not doing it wrong but so far I have yet to hear back.
I lie the most the hour by hour and the 10 day weather is gives me Fair enough repor tank to Plan local trips. I am a motorcycle rider this is important for my solo long trips. Very happy with this I always I also check other sources for decisions you know no one have 1000% accuracy when it comes to weather is just another great tool to have.
I really like this app. They’ve incorporated interactivity into their widget in a way that’s very effective and informative. Unfortunately there is only one size of the widget available and it doesn’t work with how I layout my phone and widgets. If and when they do update the widget size options, I’ll probably give it another look.
This is a simplified, no-nonsense weather app that can be customized for your own selection of cities. For example, my daughter lives outside a tiny town called Rayland, Ohio. I could list Rayland as one of my target cities. In fact, I have the four cities of my daughters listed. A great way to quickly track the weather of all their locations. For me, perfect.
No better, no worse than other similar weather services. Generally not one to organize your plans based on information presented, especially temperature in. if you use this service regularly, you will note that updates may vary by as much as 15° over the span of one hour. however, as a ballpark estimate, including storm/rain belt tracking, this service is average.
This app takes a fresh approach on weather. All of the complexities of other weather apps are stripped away in this gem. If you care for more detailed information, it’s easy to tap into the app on any device i.e. iPhone Apple Watch, iPad. Simply a great app and definitely worth a try.
Seems to function well enough, but some customization do not work on the small screen. Specifically, some of the options for pro users cannot be selected due to the fact they are off the edge of the screen. They cannot be scrolled to. Looks like the developers neglected the small screen phones. Edit: Increasing the rating to 4 after using it for awhile. Still can. To get one of the menus to work on the SE. It would be nice if it offered to remember settings across devices. As it is now, all devices must be configured if you do not want the default layout. Also, I miss the front maps of WunderMap. Edit2: The app forgets that it’s been purchased. While the settings I have changed are kept, the adds seem to reappear after a day.
It cute, but nothing better than what is already available for free. The annoying thing about the app is that you cannot remove the advertising as you can in other apps. If you click to close the ad, another box appears to sell you the no ad version. This is not fair and not good for those who are frugal. I will continue to use the weather channel at least there when the ads appear, I can manually remove them without being forced to make a purchase.
The app is great, and does an excellent job of communicating just the right amount of information. However, I’m frequently having to restore purchases to re-block ads. I’m not sure why it doesn’t remember that I’ve already gone pro. Maybe it resets with each update? Or per month, each subscription cycle? Feels like it’s every other week.
There are a large number of options that are well thought out. They make full use of available weather sources as well as the interactive options in Apple.
I was looking forward to this update since it was FINALLY getting widgets. I also intended to buy their lifetime sub since I am honestly getting tired of paid subs for everything nowadays. As for the the apps weather widget. It’s subpar and lacks customizability. It’s just one 2x4 widget. As for their sub. It’s now either $4 a month or $40 a year now. Their lifetime sub is no longer available for for $40 a year you can get multiple customizable widgets and a customizable Home Screen with Carrot Weather.
I was hopeful the newest update might get closer. But it didn’t. When I first got dark sky I hated how verticalized the UI was. Then I realized they were years ahead of their time. If Weather Up took a look at their Ui with fresh eyes and think hard about ‘weather at a glance’ and take another shot it - I might try it again at that time.
A few suggestions from an extensive user of weather apps. 1. Default view option - let us choose to have the entire city table view or a specific city/current location load first 2. Auto play radar option - not sure if this would incur additional chargers from the weather provider of choice, but Weather Line auto loads this. 3. Default zoom level for city view - See Carrot Weather’s various options 4. (Relative) Humidity vs. Dew point - Let us set this in the options. It’s called relative humidity for a reason, because it’s depended on the temperature. Dew is my preferred method of letting me know how humid/dry it is outside.
Doesn’t work well when internet access is poor. It will do the following: - delete prior cached forecast data before fetching new. You can’t see what was there before even if it was just 10 minutes or an hour ago. (That 10 day forecast would have been useful, even on the next day...) - say it can’t load and offers no way to retry if access has improved. - it will not show it is still loading radar data. This means you have no way to tell if the sky is clear or it just has failed to load that red line of storms coming at you Other issues: - lacks international coverage. Really only good in the US. Recommended only for people living in urban America with good reliable cellular of WiFi coverage.
Paying for a monthly subscription, it would be nice to see this app be updated more often - and at least sooner than 4 months ago. The inches displayed for precipitation, namely snow forecast, are generally inaccurate. It will display 0.3” of snow when the forecast warning and/or actual accumulation is 12-18”. I really want to like this app for its minimalistic style and great execution; however these issues could be resolved if it were updated sooner.
This app renders maps faster than any other iOS app I have seen. As a pilot, I use many different weather apps for specific uses. This app has become my go to for seeing big picture weather conditions across the country. Nicely done David!
I think it’s a solid app with good features. It could be great with minor enhancements/adjustments. The UI is well done and graphics are good. I wish they would add a current location temperature badge for icon, and more important, accurate and timely weather alert notifications. Thank you.
It’s very frustrating to see I have a weather alert and click to see what’s going on, only to get an empty screen that says “no active alerts”. I’m looking for a new weather app.
I’d like to be able to give this a higher rating but bugs in the weather data go unattended. The forecast data for southwest FL continue to show temperatures in the mid 20s during the day. That’s outrageous. It’s cool today but has been and will be near 80 in the next 3 days. Come on, you can fix this. Otherwise I’ll begin looking for a better weather app.
This is a great app!! It shows the radar + weather + 10 day weather forecast!!! You can choose what your icons look like. Honestly, I really recommend this app. I have used it for a really long time now and that is for sure.
This weather app is fantastic!! It’s beautifully designed, thought out, and implemented. It’s got all the features you’d expect and performs marvelously. I find myself checking the weather just to look at the app. Truly a joy to use!
Nice looking app. I wish it was a bit more customizable with what to display, since there is a lot of wasted space with the map at the top. If I pull the bottom tab up, it should display more details such as wind speed instead of showing the map. Tapping each hour shows the extra details, but I’d like a quick glance as well.
The 10 day forecasts are consistently 10° hotter than any other app, which always turns out to be inaccurate. Even on the days where it rained, the hourly forecast was many hours off compared to other weather app, also inaccurate. Kind of disappointing because the app looks so great... I definitely don’t want to be thinking it’s going to be 100° when it’s not.
