I’ve been using Sonuby Weather for a while now, and overall, I’m quite impressed. The app provides accurate and up-to-date forecasts, which have been incredibly reliable for planning my daily activities. The UI is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and find the information I need quickly. I would love to see more customization options for the widgets, such as different themes or the ability to display more detailed information. Despite these minor issues, the Sonuby Weather app is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to stay informed about the weather. I highly recommend it to others and look forward to future updates that will make it even better.

Thanks a lot for your review and your subscription, I appreciate it very much! :) This is the kind of feedback that keeps me going. In a future update, it will be possible to create custom weather reports / dashboards and I will try to make it possible to provide layout options as well. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with :) Cheers, Julian.
Extensive weather information well presented

I am a sailor who naturally pays close attention to the weather. I recently read of Sonuby, downloaded it, began using it, and within a few days subscribed, although extensive information is available for free. What you see is customizable and I think attractively presented. The developer has responded quickly and positively to my suggestion that a sailing profile be created in addition to those of other outdoor activities already available. I am very pleased with Sonuby and expect to continue using it on a daily basis.
Developer Response
Thanks for your positive feedback, the sailing report is now available! :) Cheers, Julian.
Terrific App for Landscape Photographer
Coldstream24
Although it does not have a customized dashboard aimed towards photographers the app still provides invaluable information about the weather conditions for shooting outdoors. The skydiver dashboard is useful for photography. Looking forward to seeing enhancements and maybe a way to create your own customized dashboard?

Thanks a lot for your review! There is now a photography report available in Sonuby. I hope this improves your Sonuby experience! :) Cheers, Julian.
Customizable, full of features, with “weather in motion” map view

Ever since Apple purchased, then dropped Dark Sky, I’ve longed for a better weather app. I love how this app slows customization of so many aspects and views. Best of all, for me, is a “weather in motion” map view! I love seeing if a line of clouds is moving toward or away from my area.
Developer Response
