4.5 out of 5
Bait and switch

When I downloaded ForecastBar because of the iMessage features, it wasn't clear at all that this was for a trial period, then if I want to keep the functionality, I have to pay. It's a bait and switch and I'm super turned off. It doesn't matter how much I liked ForecastBar in iMessage, on my phon... Show more

Extremely Disappointed

Discovered Forecast Bar early this morning. I was excited about some specific complications for my new Apple Watch Series 5 and all the other things offered by a seemingly well designed and popular app. After a couple of hours I was impressed enough to go ahead and purchase the Premium Subscription...

Basics: great. Extras: poor.

ForecastBar does what it’s supposed to do on the iPhone and iPad. In fact it does so a skosh better than most other apps of its kind. A clean and customizable interface along with little “above and beyond” items (like the temperature on ForecastBar icon) make it a pleasure to use in the phone. It... Show more

Something's Changed

i've been using Forecast Bar for over two years now and in that time i'd rate my satisfaction anywhere between 90-99%. recent updates, however, have forced me to start reconsidering whether i keep ForecastBar as my main source of weather updates and predictions.

the information is just as g... Show more

Watch features need work

I really like the idea of ForecastBar. ForecastBar is really nice, it looks good, gives me information just the way I would want, and had plenty of customization but the main reason I got ForecastBar was for its watch features and well they don’t really work for me. I set everything up as I want... Show more

Incredibly in depth- lots of potential

I absolutely love how customizable ForecastBar is and all its features. I used to love Storm Radar before the weather channel bought it and ruined it. It’s been a lot of apps since then and they’re all disappointing. I even bought the carrot weather app and found myself like “soo this is what ever... Show more

Love the app but frustrated with Dark Mode implementation

Been using ForecastBar for a couple years now and it’s high quality with a lot of good details and customization.

However, now that dark mode is baked into iOS13, I find myself disappointed with the current implementation and my inability to get my in-app weather screen to embrace the lovel... Show more

Dates not shown and two other deficiencies

It’s generally fine, but I believe users would better correlate the forecast with respect to their schedule, especially the extended one, if the date of each day were shown. To be fair, it is accessible, but it’s by tapping on the left column, which would be fine. The problem is that when doing s... Show more

Best Weather App Yet!

I was a long time user of another app that decided to mess up a good thing a couple of years ago and completely change their UI and UX, and offer no support when queried, which lost them this customer. Since then, I’ve been looking for a new app.

I work in public safety, and it’s beyond ... Show more

LOVE THIS APP!

Long-time user of forecast bar. It is my go-to weather app. It has the best layout and features of any weather app I’ve used, and I’ve used many. We are self-employed landscapers and property managers and couldn’t live without it.
the developers are constantly striving to make improvements and ... Show more

Love it

This is by far the best weather app I've ever used (and I've tried a lot)! The UI is easy to use, has lots of data, and more importantly the forecast is accurate.
UPDATE - Removing two stars... the problem(s) I have is ForecastBar is not at accurate as it used to be, also if there is a 16% chan... Show more

Nice app with (affordable) personal weather station support

A good app with a great feature, support for Netatmo personal weather stations. Most of my daily weather and forecast data come from a weather service, but my Netatmo station is far more accurate about what temperature it actually is at my house. Forecast uses my station to “override” the current t... Show more

Updated Review. Accurate and customizable

Best weather app I’ve found and I’ve tried at least 6. Customizable, great watch app, and outstanding support. (Got hung up on the new IOS widget functionality, no app issues just an Apple issue)

I’ve been searching for a weather app that was accurate, allowed for use of my Netatmo weather s... Show more

Highly customizable, clean interface, accurate data

Key points; highly customizable, accurate data, great customer service from devs. Great app.

I love ForecastBar because it can be tailored to suit your own taste. The interface is clean in general, and you can add or remove fields on information if you want more or less to be visible from a... Show more

Weather App to Have

I have quite a few weather apps and all of them are in the four star rating. I keep checking for a better weather app all the time since they keeping better. Forecast Bar is ForecastBar to have I’ve been using the for several weeks now and love it. After using it for a week there was one thing ... Show more

Best New Weather App

I’ve been happy with other weather apps and was using one or two of the best known. When I saw Forecast Bar, I thought how different can it be? I mean it’s a weather app. Then I tried the free week trial. After the trial, I cancelled the other subscriptions and moved Forecast Bar to a primary place... Show more

Nice to see a weather app for MacOS, iOS, and WatchOS

I have always been interested in weather but have wanted a forecast app for all three platforms. Forecast Bar provides for all Apple platforms and allows the choice of two excellent sources of data - either The Weather Company or Dark Sky. The interface is very configurable and is essentially the s... Show more

An excellent weather app

I find this weather app extremely accurate. I’ve compared it to several other iPhone weather apps side-by-side, and it consistently has the most up-to-date information. It will also say things like “rain beginning or ending at such and such a time” and invariably it is correct.
It’s predictions ... Show more

Especially great for Apple Watch support

This is a great weather app for Apple users because it gives a consistent, highly configurable, interface for detailed weather information on Macs, iPads, iPhones, and Apple Watches. That’s the reason I originally started using it, but nowadays the most important reason is the myriad of complicatio... Show more

Watch App Unreliable

I love the iOS app, as it is full featured and easy to customize, however, once I configure the watchOS app, it works fine forts few hours and then it just displays 0 degrees in the complication. If I access ForecastBar , the data is correct, so I assume the issue is with the complication itself. T... Show more

Great functionality, but...

The interface and functionality are wonderfully detailed, both on the phone and my watch. I love the customization and widget functionality. The weather is very accurate and I love the alert customization. My only gripes, which sadly, are deal breakers for me are 1) The radar is very slow to load c... Show more

Radar often not available in free trial

I’m done with data being overlaid on top of the radar that I can’t turn off. I don’t even know what the data is and the developers don’t care enough to answer my question. I won’t pay for an app the developers apparently can’t control. My search for a good weather app continues.

I'm enjoying... Show more

Nice little app, but...

...it doesn't update properly on my Apple watch. I set the complication to show on the bottom of the face and that seems to update properly. However, when I press on it to expand it and see the other data, it doesn't update at all. It seems I have to open ForecastBar on my phone in order for it to... Show more

This is the one

After using several weather apps, this is the one that is most accurate, timely and informative. However much info you want, or not, this is THE one. Graphically pleasing and easy to use. It has proven invaluable these last few days, especially, during this period of rough weather.

Awesome app.

ForecastBar itself is great. It works great with my watch, it updates like it’s supposed to. Allot of other third party apps don’t due that for me. Looks great on my phone also. Many different icon options also. My only issue with ForecastBar is I’ve already paid for the Dark Sky App, why am I pa... Show more

Complication issues

Have to daily restart either watch or phone in order to get both devices to reflect the same weather conditions been happening for a while, was hoping developer would do an update to correct this issue that I am a lot of other reviewers are having. I have a renewal next month and seriously consider... Show more

Great app

I’m a weather enthusiast and have many weather Apps. I love ForecastBar. As my go to weather source with the ability to customize it to your liking makes it more user friendly. However I’ve not changed anything yet awesome!!
