Having being messed around so much by the new owners of the once brilliant WeatherPro app, I was looking desperately for a replacement. Then I found UKWeatherMaps which although a little less polished, is in fact the perfect alternative. No more pressure maps unless I pay for a costly subscription (I hate that). Maximum kudos to the developers here. A one-off payment gets you the whole app with no hidden extras at ridiculous fees. £3.99? Bargain! Thank you! 5 stars!

I have been using the phone app for a couple of years now and have found it to be very reliable in predicting weather conditions. My main pastime is walking outdoor with my camera, photographing birds, animals insects, flowers etc. I therefore prefer sunny conditions to get the best light for the camera. The app’s graphical data lets me know where the best weather will be and the length of time it will last. My only negative comment is that some of the terms used to summarise the weather for any particular day are often ambiguous. E.g “mostly cloudy” also means “sunny intervals”. Perhaps it would be an idea to have a simple bar graph showing the expected “sunshine to cloudy” ratio. That slight quibble aside, I would, and do, recommend the app to anyone who needs a reliable, easy to use weather app for their phone.

Found this weather app while searching for more mainstream weather apps and glad I found it. Love the animation in a clear and precise way to easily see all the information you could possibly need. One of the very best apps out there bar none. However I have to knock one star off because you can only set things up in metric or imperial units meaning you can have temperature in centigrade but wind in km/h or wind in mp/h but temperatures in Fahrenheit. If the developer was able to change this small feature to allow us to set both up individually to our preferences this would easily be a five star app. Yes I’m nit picking but the rest of it is that good I have to in order to hope it gets perfected.

Simply laid out with buttons on bottom of screen to switch views and tap top forecast area to drill down for more details. This ease of use does NOT mean lack of accurate information. It’s one of the few apps I’ve found with synoptic charts and the data is sourced from reputable sources like Met Office and IBM Weather Company.
