Ratings and Reviews
Terrific menu bar app
This is an excellent menu bar app. Selecting the menu bar graphic brings excellent, clear and concise graphics.
Promising but Lacking
I love that it resides in the menu bar and that once clicked it will allow you to drag the window wherever you want. Unfortunately, you cannot resize it nor can you change the color of the UI. It does lack a lot of other important information for people who may require a robust app due to weather extremes. I downloaded a number of the other weather apps and found them all dissatisfying. i did contact the dev who responded promptly to my questions. I just wish this app could be developed or the other weather app devs take a page from this UI.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the fair review and your email. The feature ideas are definitely appreciated and I did look into the resizing. In practice it can be a bit of larger reconstruction than one might think, so unfortunately can't promise it would make the cut.
Not enough weather info to warrant subscription price
Like the graphics, but only temperature, UV, wind and gust are shown. Barometric pressure AND humidity are vital and needed before this program is ready for $7.99 USD yearly.
Fix this lack of information and perhaps I will take another look.
Developer Response ,
Hey JeJoMc, thank you for the candid review. In the latest version pressure, rainfall and summaries and more have been added.
Humidity on the way! EDIT: Humidity added as well!
