My Favorite Weather App
02/26/2018

I really like this app - I have the regular weather app on my iPhone and I have this one. The weather forecasting on weather seems historically to be more accurate. Also it gives me several features which I use regularly and have come to depend on: perhaps the most important of these is weather alerts from the national weather service regional service office. These alerts include things like winter storm warnings, high wind warnings, severe weather (hail) warnings, flood warnings, etc. it tells how far away the lightening strikes occurring in the last 30 minutes are. In the winter these are typically over 1000 miles, but in the summer they can be less than a mile. I like the radar view feature, the highway camera view feature, the detailed hour by hour feature. This is really a great app and I use it a lot! Many thanks to the provider!

Air quality is not accurate. Widget problems. Alerts don’t work. Maps don’t always load

Forecast isn’t necessarily accurate. Could be better Your iPhone and iPad widget needs to be fixed! The real feel temperature does not show the real feel temperature that it shows in the app. It shows the temperature as the real feel. No support at all for complications like temp, humidity, rain, air quality, pollen, etc. Currently offers bare bones support for watch complications on a few faces. Be nice if they would use the air quality monitoring system that is actually accurate. Wish they would integrate Purple Air into their system instead of Ambee. None of the weather alerts work. The only way you get an alert is if you open the app. Pointless. You don’t get alerts in the background. Sometimes the maps just shows a blank screen. Also why not make the map animate when opening so I don’t have to click on the play button? The whole point of me looking at the map is to look at the radar. Just make the radar automatically play. Be nice if someone actually did a QA check before publishing updates! Kind of sorry I paid for this…

I’ve used WeatherBug Elite and it’s earlier versions for years. For some time now, I’ve been noticing that it totally missed the forecast. Since I was a longtime user, I just put up with the inaccuracies. Friends have used other, better apps and would often know better what the weather would do. Today was the final straw. The hourly presentation showed 0% throughout the day. No hint of precipitation anywhere the WeatherBug forecast. None. Of course it was pouring rain with lightning, thunder and pea-sized hail. No hint at all from WeatherBug. NONE!!! I was getting significant weather warnings from other apps, but WeatherBug was showing sunny with 0% chance of precip. If this was just one isolated incident, I’d blow it off. But this is the norm for WeatherBug.I gave it two stars because the radar presentation is actually quite good. I spent 30+ years as a radar air traffic controller, so I know what I’m talking about. I’m also a commercially rated pilot. I have formal education and training in meteorology. If the radar presentation wasn’t good on this app I’d permanently delete it.

Great weather summaries but harder to read now

I've used WeatherBug Elite for many years and much preferred the interface of it vs the newer WeatherBug app. While I was glad to see it's been updated, as I've been getting warnings about it being an old app that could slow down my phone, it is harder to see the information. (1) the darker background of the old version was better; (2) now more 'white' space on the 10-day tab so you see less days on the screen without scrolling; (3) most annoying is the huge space right below the current temperature! Otherwise, I like we can reorganize the tiles. Why I still like the app: very pleased with the weather conditions info, forecast, weather alerts. What really appeals to me is that WeatherBug uses local weather stations-ours is at the elementary school a mile away.

We've been busy squashing bugs and making WeatherBug even better!
