Weather - NOAA Radar & الطق‪س‬ ٤+

Smart colors, fun, and easy! I use this app at least 3 times every day in the summer to conserve air conditioner energy. It is quick, user friendly, and one can have multiple locations to monitor. (But one location at a time, as opposed to an ability to compare weather simultaneously.).

The only thing I disliked was that the app second guesses way too soon while your typing in the city, removing the keyboard while still typing which taps into the attached ads located directly under the keyboard. Very annoying; but easy to quickly double click and swipe away the ad. Besides, we are not using the keyboard all the time anyway except to enter cities. So I’m 5-Star happy.

I really like the look and feel of this app, but there is one thing that I would like to see addressed. When the app is opened, it always opens up with the topmost selection in the saved locations. I’m a snowbird and spend half of my time in Florida and half of my time in Massachusetts, and would like to easily be able to rearrange the list of saved places so that the app opens up to where I am. If I turn on current location, It tells me that I’m in cities that are 100 miles away, or more. It looks like it’s picking my location based on my IP address which is usually somewhere other than where I physically am, and if it’s NOT using my IP address, then the app really and truly has no idea of where I am. If you delete a saved location, from say,it’s 4th spot down on the saved list, there is no easy way to get it back to that spot that I’ve found, other than to delete every saved location after that then re-enter all of them in the order you want them in. So, right now, my winter residence is in saved position #1, and my summer residence is in saved position #4, and I can’t find any way to easilyswap them around. Fix that minor annoyance, and I’ll change my rating.

After using this app for almost 6 months, I have found that a number of locations are not found when you try to add them. This seems to be the only weather app I’ve tried that seems to have this problem. I’m glad I didn’t spend any money on this thing before testing it out thoroughly. Granted, it is a very good looking app and provides a lot of good info for locations it can find, but all in all useless if it can’t find simple locations such as Cheyenne Wyoming, Casper Wyoming, Prudhoe Bay Alaska, just to name a few. Yes, Prudhoe Bay Alaska is also known as Deadhorse Alaska, but if one would not know this they would probably give up on that location. It should actually be found under both names!!! If you look at any of the other reviews where the reviewer is critical of this app, note that the developers response (if any at all) is this almost copy and paste...not very helpful!!! Like I state in the subject line, “there are better” weather apps available!!!
