Want the latest local weather forecast on your mobile device? For any town in the USA, Forecast Now provides: - the daily local weather forecast for the next 7 days - the hourly forecast for the next 24 hours - animated radar and satellite views - hazardous weather warnings - predicted snowfall totals (winter months) - the air quality index - the ultraviolet index - up to 8 stored locations Weather and climate information comes directly from the US National Weather Service, NOAA, and the EPA. Development of Forecast Now is funded in part by ads, which can be removed by selecting the monthly auto-renewing subscription option "Remove Ads" from the app's settings menu. Subscribing will also give you access all the GOES satellite imagery. The subscription price of 0.99 USD (in your local currency) will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and, for each renewal, within 24 hours prior to the end of the current month. You can cancel the subscription at any time through your iTunes account settings, but you must do so at least 24 hours before the end of the current month to avoid being charged, and ads will show again at the start of the subsequent month.

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.

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?

Developer Response
We have restored the dates to the hourly forecast, as they were originally. The daily forecast shows the day of the week, by popular request, instead of “today “ and “tonight “, but has never shown the date.NOAA is using a new satellite for GOES East which has a different set of instruments onboard, and they don’t publish an exact equivalent to the rainbow display the old satellite provided. We chose a default display that we think shows the best contrast for precipitation, but if you subscribe to the app you can choose from a variety of displays another one may suit you better. You could always try subscribing for a month to see if it gets you what you want. If not, you can then cancel the subscription in the settings app on your device.

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.
