So yesterday my area was forecasted for Tornadoes, lightning and strong winds. The only “warning” I got was “Light rain coming soon”. In a scenario where someone’s life could be in danger and that’s all you get (even though they say it gives warning about those types of things), is ridiculous. Now I have two other weather apps that I always have anyway that being MYRadar and The Weather Channel (was testing to see how far the stock Apple weather app had actually gone compared to the two other weather apps). Even the government warning system that all smartphones get was on top of things compared to Apple’s stock weather app. Apple’s precipitation, temperature and air quality map doesn’t show that much information at all compared to those two apps that I’ve mentioned. Sure it has fancy graphics for different types of weather, but that’s basically it’s only strongest attribute. I suggest revamping the app on a major scale if you’re going to call yourself a “weather app” because how the app is right now is unacceptable. Especially, when people rely on that app and not any other weather app.

The new version is truly bizarre. The low is now on the left and the high is on the right. We read left to right, including weather chronology. The night time temp is now on the left. Is that last night’s low (outdated) or tonight’s low (read right to left)? The hourly forecast still reads left to right as the hours pass, but the daily below it seems you have to now read right to left, even within the same app. Strangest thing I’ve ever seen. Update Jan 12, 2021: This is app is driving me crazy. Says low in NYC tonight of 21 but hourly forecast shows 30. I think that was last night. Everything is backwards or screwed up some other way. Good news is I just downloaded the Weather Channel App and replaced Apple Weather after a decade of use. It has everything in the correct chronological order. Very easy to use as well. Download that one and then you can dump this until they get it back to the way it used to be when it was so easy to use and read.

I want to be able to arrange the information to put what I want to know at the top. I’m not as interested in the 10-day forecast as I am about current conditions and what it’s going to be like *today*. I never look at radar, so the map is useless. I would like to move it out of the way. The other thing that’s really annoying is the page layouts from city to city change depending on current conditions. The map isn’t always in the same place and if it’s raining or snowing, there is a temporary box inserted showing projected precipitation. When the rain/snow stops the box goes away. None of this is anything the user has any control over. I have several cities in my list. Not only is it visually confusing, it makes scrolling through them a pain. I have to keep adjusting my thumb position when I swipe so that I’m actually moving to the next city instead of landing on an active box for the current one (the hourly forecast or map, usually).
