Weather Gods 4+

Mostly good app, with amazing potential.

The layout is confusing at first, this is not designed like most weather apps; however once you overcome the learning curve it is worth it. This seems to be very accurate and I am very pleased overall. The reason this is not a 5 star review is because of a couple of things. First the Apple Watch complication only updates once an hour, I would like the option to change the update frequency since I don’t mine the battery loss. Secondly I think it would be nice to be able to change what the complication shows too, but I think the way it chooses what to present works well, so this isn’t a bug deal. Lastly I am having some issues with the app not connecting to the watch and refreshing, it is in the watch dock and location is set to always. I assume most of this things will be fixed/modified in the future and would still highly recommend this app.

Great app, but one issue is popping up

UPDATE: I appreciate the developer response and finding out what is actually behind the issue! Since my original review, this issue seems to have been resolved. I’m still getting an occasional extra notification, but nothing to the extent that it was previously. Thanks for the response! Much appreciated!

I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the app itself, or if the notifications on my phone are messed up, but I have some weather notifications set up for this app. All of the ones I’m expecting to show up...do. But they are showing up multiple times. I got about 20 notifications in the span of a minute. I didn’t have this issue before today.

I’ll check to see if this is an issue on my end, but I just wanted to give a heads up! I’m giving 4 stars right now, but aside from this one issue...this would be a 5 star app! It is definitely one of my favorites, by a long shot!

Hi, it should all be fixed now. Thank you for your patience.

Praise be...

This app is fantastic. I’ve been using it on the reg since version 1.0, and the developers have been making steady improvements, refinements, and enhancements ever since. And now Siri Shortcuts! You guys are the best!

I’ve used A LOT of weather apps. I’m what you may call a weather geek. The one thing that keeps me coming back to this app, and the one thing that hasn’t changed since it’s launch, is the intensely visual way Weather Gods displays weather data. Instead of numbers and tables, it uses sounds, graphs, and animations, brilliantly overlaid into one single “weather wheel” display. Humidity, precipitation, sunlight, wind, moon phases... it’s all there, beautifully illustrated and effortless to navigate.

So if you’re looking for a well thought out, elegant, creative weather app to put all others to shame—an “end all” so to speak in your tireless pursuit for the best of the best—this is it! Rests assured the devs are great, and the app is even better.

Thanks for your in-depth review, appreciated. Not sure understand the location issue - be great if you could tell us what that is ? Startup, agreed can be slow on older devices, but on new devices is only a couple of seconds, but we'll keep working on it!

With data visualisation, sometimes you have to make choices which can appear odd on occasion. For example lets say its 40% chance of rain, do we show rain in the hourly view or not ? As you can imagine there are quite a few of these choices to make, and as we get feedback we get them more refined. No weather data is 'correct' per se, its just a case of making it as clear as we can without being misleading. Many thanks for your support & feedback.
