Favorite Weather App
I have used a lot of weather apps and Forecast Now is my favorite
Forecast in 5 minutes
Used to be a good app. Now they added advertisements that are broken. So I have to restart the app, watch another ad, and hope it works. No longer forecast now, it is forecast in five minutes, maybe.
Good app
Good functionality except for ads which can be intrusive. Could be improved with dew points and heat index values in hourly forecasts.
Ads made this app insufferable
Used to LOVE this app as it was super reliable, but now that I can’t skip these ads they force you to sit through if you don’t want to pay $12 a year for ad free weather info, it’s horrible. I’ll stick to going straight to NWS for my information. Weather information should NOT be monetized, you all pay taxes that go towards incentivizing this information… why pay more?! Paying for this information to avoid sitting through ads is just revolting to me as a meteorologist. Go to weather.gov to obtain your weather information that is readily available (ad free).
Hard to read forecasts.
The letters on the forecast are way too small.
Forecast Now
Put back the dates when reviewing Daily forecast information. The last update removed the Dates for the forecast information. How do I get Color to show up in the Maps?
Forecast Now
Don’t bother!!!
Just the best
This app is the best I have used to forecast for our New England weather.
Ads
Was a good simple app but recently was changed with more intrusive ads. You often can’t just open it to see the forecast. Now you get blasted with a loud ad with no way to short circuit. It’s a shame because I really like the app.
Day of Week lost with latest update
Difficult to use, not knowing day of week (eg Sun, Mon, etc)
Easy to Use / Great Support
Forecast Now suits me to a T. Others clutter the screen with so much information it’s hard for me to focus on it. This app opens with a menu listing each type of NWS information. Selecting an item displays it on its own cleanly-designed screen, making it much easier for my brain to grasp. While changing locations requires going to a separate menu item, with frequent use I can now rapidly swipe/click among the 4 locations I generally follow. I did often find the ads annoying but, as the app’s description spells out, they’re the trade-off for using a free app. Most ads can simply be canceled, though some have a 5-second countdown. The audio ads are easily muted with a tap on the volume icon. I recently decided to try it without ads for $0.99 per month. I like it, so will be signing up for the single $9.99 payment to ditch them permanently. I’ve encountered a couple of glitches in the app along the way, which I’ve reported to the developers. Both times they’ve responded within an hour, investigated immediately, and gotten them fixed – that same day in one case and within 24 hours in the other. In my book, that kind of support is well worth a few bucks.
Forecast disappeared
This app doesn’t work anymore. All I get are the pictures on the left side. No words. Absolutely useless.
Dissapointing
The views available are incomplete or show such restricted area size that being able to pan to and view an area is difficult to impossible. Having NOAA reports is a good thing though.
It’s changed!
All text detailing the forecast is gone. Now just postage stamp sized graphics that won’t expand. Pretty much useless now.
Update made it worse
Since the update this app does not work properly and take forever to load the forecasts
The Steve Jerve of weather Apps
I will use the KISS principle to rate this app. Kept It Short and Simple. This app is dependable and will not disappoint. Highly recommended.
Junk
Too much crap advertising
Review
Too Many ads
Support not supporting
Local radar feature has been down for days and support nearly impossible to reach. Just has general FAQ saying NWS radar info may be unavailable from time to time. For nearly a week???
Excellent
And accurate!
Forecast Now
The radar is good, but that’s all that I can get down loaded! Only get thumbnail picture. No words will appear on my iPad screen. Can’t access more than one location. I’ve been trying to get the complete down load. I was interested in the subscription, but no success with that either. Very disappointing.
Deleting it
Read the terms of service. They want to monitor all your activity. Big Brother. Otherwise, it would be a great app.
Good info / needs work.
Great information direct from the best source there is. The only thing that needs work is the app itself. It’s a good start, but it needs refining. How about a quick list view of your cities accompanied by current conditions? Basically, switching between any of the options/information tabs is cumbersome. A few UI tweaks and this could be something decent. Finally, I don’t mind paying a subscription for a great app. However, this isn’t quite *great* yet. Keep up the work! Thanks.
Forecast Now
Great application for weather.
Audio ads
Deleted app as soon as the first audio ad pulled up.
Beware - Pop Up Video Ads
I like to check forecast in bed in the morning. Unfortunately pop up video ads, with sound, wake up wife. Cannot use! Switching back to another weather app.
Impressive !
Info presented that I have not seen in other apps. Just started using but have used many apps and can tell this will be among the best !!
Terrible app- don’t waste your time
I was looking for a decent weather app, but this one isn’t it. You can’t even get a local forecast without a 10 second ad jumping up first. And every time I tried something a different area another ad jumped up. There’s no way I would spend any money with these guys cause I can’t see what their service really looks like. Too bad!
Too bad!
This app used to be great but now it won't even load. If it does load it's now really slow. Uploaded all updates and latest version but still won't load. Sad.
Accurate Advice
I use this app in addition to my local tv weather & app for future planning. When the local weather folks are projecting into the future they often go for the most radical interpretation of the data. I can count on this app to give me the most balanced idea of what's going to happen. Here in Oklahoma a person can never have enough weather info!
Grim
Bad Taste to ask for me to rate you by 5 stars... before you even connect user to the app
Great. App
Really like it to be able to see the forecast and the local radar it's a great app Thanks guys good job.
Now Opens with ads...
Bad decision to do that. I deleted it. I'm interested in the weather only. That's just in poor taste and annoying when all you want are quick weather stats. Good luck!
As good as it gets
A must have for those who truly need accurate weather reports and forecasts. Easy to operate and numerous excellent presentations. Could not count all the times I look at it in a 24 hr. period. Worth more than 5 stars.
