Local Weather Radar & Forecast 4+

After the app called Storm was ruined by developers that took it over, I searched a long time for a replacement. This app does the job. This app is using a data feed that actually includes what is happening around me in Colorado with only about 10 minutes delay. That is pretty good actually! Our weather is insanely dynamic in Ft. Collins and other apps would either completely omit a dangerous storm from the display within a mile of me or crash with a ton of ads. But this app’s underpinnings are solid and the UI is a familiar approach with useful layers for true weather geeks. I use it for aiding in weather photography, which requires more than the average weather app delivers. Well, this app delivers!

I’ve been searching for a simple but informative weather app for years. I most look for a 7 day snapshot and I frequently use the radar. This app seems to fit the bill finally. But it needs a couple things to be 4 or 5 stars.

Radar is usually overly complicated or buggy, so far I’ve been happy with this one. I still haven’t found one that auto plays. Why do I have to hit play? I just clicked on the radar icon, obviously I want it to play when it opens. When I open the app it says Forecast at the top and there’s a big picture that currently looks a little overcast. Is this supposed to change and match the current forecast? If so, it’s not even close. There’s currently a snow storm in my area. This would be a simple addition to get a simple weather scene to match the current weather forecast as other weather apps do.

And lastly, add widgets! I’ve been using the iOS weather app and weather bug widget on my Lock Screen and home screen for years. I was disappointed to see you guys don’t have a widget option.

I have a busy schedule. So I need to be able to check the weather report that is clear enough for me to get the point. I don’t need a lot of advertisements. Thank you for keeping it simple. I do not get distracted away from my schedule.
