Weather 4+

This is such a beautiful weather app! It is absolutely STUNNING! It is very precise and on target, which I found surprising. Not even the local new’s weather guy can predict what time rain will start to fall with such precision…so you’d naturally THINK an app certainly can not either, and you’d probably be correct…BUT WE AREN’T TALKING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER WEATHER APPS! This is so precise far as timing is concerned AND so extremely ACCURATE far as predicting exactly what type of weather is heading your direction…it’s spooky and exciting! lol! 🤣😂 My husband and I have this app on every device we own (where apps are downloaded & used). You can see weather in real time, hour by hour if you prefer. And whatever your local weather is doing will reflect on the app upon opening. What I mean is if it’s raining 🌧️ in your area, and you open your app, you will see rain drops on the screen! Beautiful! And if there’s lightning 🌩️ ⛈️ ⚡️…you’ll see THAT too! It will appear as though the rain is falling onto your screen. And lightning will flash and appear as though it’s directly under your device’s screen! And if it’s just a cloudy day, you will see clouds under your device’s screen. Sunny day! You’ll see the sun! It’s absolutely exciting! Whatever the weather, this app reflects it on your device’s screen. So very cool!😎

I always use this app because me and my family are always going somewhere and we need the weather to tell us how hot or cold it is going to be so we know what to where and pack but I can’t look at the weather in a time schedule and tell everyone the weather if it loads for five minutes every time. Even if I have all my bars (4) it still takes forever to load and it is kinda annoying. When we were going up north we alway stay there for about a week and we have to leave at a certain time or we don’t get there until late because it is a long twelve hour drive and we also have seven kids and when we need the weather I can’t tell them unless I have my phone on for five minutes with doing nothing on it and I need my phone for important things not saying that the weather isn’t important but I still can’t just have it open on the weather app when I need to do other things on my phone. Also if is not always correct. I was playing with my baby sister outside and it said that it wasn’t supposed to rain and it did it STORMED and she got soaked because we live on a big property and I looked at it five minutes after it was done storming and it said that it was still raining for about another two hours and it wasn’t even raining. I absolutely love this app but it has flaws.

Raising my rating after updating to ios16 and seeing the Weather app is finally showing some evidence that they’re at least trying to incorporate Dark Sky features. Glad to see that it finally has multiple days of hourly forecast available. It still misses the mark in a big way for me. My biggest gripe is hourly forecast for Dew Point being buried in the “humidity” graph. Dew Point is the best way I’ve found to tell how “muggy” it will feel. Relative Humidity doesn’t give any such indication and is a meaningless stat on its own. For example right now the relative humidity is 80% but dew point is in the 30’s and it feels great outside, not muggy at all. On the hourly Humidity graph, it only graphs relative humidity, I have to scroll through each hour one at a time to see the forecasts for dew point. I travel a lot to un-air conditioned warehouses in the south/gulf region and dew point forecasts in Dark Sky have been my go-to for knowing how to dress and plan for the day. If it's 100 degrees with a dew point in the low 40's I know it will feel cooler in the the shade/in the warehouse, if it's 100 degrees with a 70+ dew point I know it will be like a convection oven, even in the shade with a fan blowing. I would prefer a tabular view of this data like Dark Sky had… at the very least give Dew Point it’s own graph please. Happy to at least see the data in there, but I continue to prefer Dark Sky.
