Weather on the Way 4+

Fantastic app and fantastic help

I purchased this app last night after stumbling across it when I was looking for something - anything - that would help me plot weather across my route simply. This app did it beautifully. The interface is great, simple, and informative. I also had what I thought was a glitch (but was not) when I tried to open it on a second device. It turned out that I simply had to wait for that device to sync with my App Store/Apple ID so that the purchase would be recognized. In the interim, I emailed the developer and got a response within minutes. How great is that? I assume the forecast information is accurate since I have not actually traveled as route yet (though, from what I’ve seen as it relates to other weather forecast, the temperatures and cloud cover appear to be accurate) but, from all that I have seen so far, this app is fantastic. If you are a traveler, buy it!

Good app but expensive

I like the app and the concept is good. Functionality appears to be good too. But like 99% of apps in the App Store, I will never subscribe to it. More and more apps are switching to a subscription based service. Everyone being greedy trying to reach into consumers’ pockets. Most apps are over priced or not worth the money at all. Why in the world people pay, it beats me! With that said, this app is subscription based, and even though I am against monthly or annual subscriptions, I feel that if you travel a lot the 5 bucks per month is reasonable. But again, only if you do a lot of travel or for whatever reason you need to know the weather along the way. The problem I have with this app and the reason I gave it two stars, is because for the occasional trip that I do five bucks per month would make it a waste of my money. I would use it enough to justify 5 bucks per month or an annual subscription. So I am moving on to other similar apps with free versions. Or, I’ll keep doing it the good o’ fashion way. That is, open the good o’ Weather Channel app and check the weather along the way. Not hard to do at all.

Developer Response ,

Hi. Weather on the Way does have a free version. The paid subscription only applies to advanced PRO features, you can use the app for free perfectly well to plan your trips, especially if you don’t need all the advanced data. We have a breakdown of which features are PRO and which are fee on our website and in the app.

CarPlay! Bingo!

This app gets my nomination for App of the Year! It’s about time somebody came up with this. I know, there’s all sorts of DOT regs on this, like no motion, etc., but you don’t need motion. I love that I can drive somewhere and be able to see what’s coming on my route on the larger screen. It needs some tweaks, but I’m still here for it: it needs the ability to lock the screen North-up, pre-set ranges you can use in your viewport, and the ability to remove the temperature readings and the directions would make this app close to perfect for me. Nicely done!
