Although I loved the accuracy and features of Dark Sky, I was never a fan of the rather dated design. Excited to try their new offering with alternative forecasts and Acme Labs. I would like to see a monthly option for premium and improvements in design.

It’s a gorgeous app. EXCEPT for the main tab bar not functioning like a normal Liquid Glass tab bar…and since it’s the main navigational component of the app (besides scrolling) it makes the whole app feel incomplete. Having the whole UI screen jump into a pop-up with a back button, when on the Community and Notifications tabs, feels incongruous with the idea of a tab bar.Unfortunately, it’s enough to make me not like using it. It feels like the developers really wanted to avoid using a Liquid Glass bubble style tab bar…when that’s what they really should have just used. It’s like…half Liquid Glass.

If you liked Dark sky, this is the same aura. I really like the visuals, the community part is pretty neat, you yourself can describe the weather that you see, also the different forecast models being compared on the same graph makes predicting more controllable. I want this same experience on iPad. As of now it’s a blown up version of the phone app. I’ll wait patiently but will become unacceptable after a while being a subscriber. Other than this, 5 stars!

For a $25 a year, you would think that it would have basic radar functionality. Also, none of the maps have an auto play functionality. You have to drag a slider for the maps that do have some sort of history/prediction option. This might be viable after functionality is added, but right now it's definitely not worth a subscription fee as it is missing the very minimum required in a app of this nature. Edit: I'm really hoping that I am overlooking something simple as it makes no sense to not have radar in motion.
