Fantastic

It took me a long while to stop whining about the demise of DS and how nothing in the App Store comes close. Yeah, 🥕 but $60/y for family? I’ve been testing weather apps since the day I read DS was sold. Tried them all and pretty much gave up, settling for Apple Weather. At least it’s not as bad as it used to be. Couple months ago I stumbled across Foreca. It’s really buried in the App Store. I hope word gets out because Foreca is fantastic! I looked back at reviews to see why it wasn’t all 5 stars. I think most are from when the app was newer. Makes sense. The ad I get today is for a different weather app, silent, and goes away in a single tap; no timer. And $3.50/y makes it gone. I’m in the US Midwest. Next door neighbor has his own weather station. Foreca temps are always in line. It’s easy to read, radar is great, and alerts are timely. And as much as I like the app, I love the Watch app even more. (Seriously Dev, make the Watch app the 6th Reason To Choose Foreca. Maybe 2nd) So 5* app from me but I think you should install it now and see for yourself.

At last...

For days, I’ve been searching for a reliable weather app. From apps with hidden subscription models, to flat-out crazy prices for radar and such, this app kills all those concepts. We have here an app that brings everything I need, hourly forecast, radar, meteogram and a widget with hour to hour. The app also uses stations near your location, and never bombards you with ads. The only ad I’ve seen were the bars that show up on the bottom. For 3 dollars a year if I remember, you can remove the ads and be left with a clean, working weather app. Apps like carrot have a one time free with even more tiers to buy after, and the other apps like TWC charge crazy for simple gimmicks that are free on this app. This is great for local weather, and I really wish for the best to the developers of this app. I only would like to customize the widget more, like being able to choose what to see on the widget. All in all, I’m sticking with this apps, thanks to being cheap and having literally everything I’m looking for in a weather app.

Very Accurate, Great Potential

Have been trailing this app since Dark Sky shut down, and since finding it was one of the most accurate weather sources for my area on Forecast Advisor. I’ve been monitoring its notifications and weather predictions compared to Apple Weather, and Foreca has been more spot on, vs AW telling me it’s raining or snowing when it’s not.

I’ve had several email exchanges with Tuomas, the dev, and he’s been very receptive to feedback and explaining some things I’ve seen in the app.

There appears to be some bugs due to Apple on the watch, which is preventing me from using some of the complications, but I’m looking forward to those being fixed. The app has some really nice Home Screen widgets, but would like to see a few lock screen widgets added, as well as some better designed Apple Watch complications. Would really like to see a better selection of the large modular complication.

Overall a great app, very clean on the iPhone, and even the Apple Watch app. Lastly, would like to see some customization options like the iPhone app has, on the Apple Watch app. Can’t wait to see how this app progresses.

Lastly, I appreciate a reasonable subscription price. I normally like to buy my apps, but this is low enough that I’m okay with that. I’d like to see family sharing, so that everyone doesn’t have to have their own subscription, but if kept to $3/year, that’s not too bad.
