Don’t bother

2024-01-28

This developer limits the number of times a day you can access weather data. Never seen an app do that before. I’ve seen limited features but not limited basic functionality.

Save yourself the bother of removing OverlookWeather…
Don’t install it to begin with.

A nice start

2024-02-28

A beautiful app with some nice minimal concepts. May use it again if a possible paid option is introduced to remove the frustrating lack of location adding restrictions per day.

Fancy app with mere basic info and use.

2024-03-21

Design is excellent.

Showing feels like temp on widget and main app with actual temp would have been lot better.

Notification for big weather change like if it’s going to be raining in next 10 min. Or if it’s going to stop raining in 20 min or if it’s going to be snow in X min or there is tornado warning today (time) makes day lot easy to plan things. For that reason I love apple weather but their aesthetic is not that great.

If OverlookWeather can add those features then one should use it else there is no much info or use of OverlookWeather except it shows fancy temperatures without any real use.

Sorry about harsh words but that’s the real review and feedback I felt about OverlookWeather.

No obvious way to change from Celsius

2024-04-10

All the screens show Fahrenheit in OverlookWeather Store, but OverlookWeather shows Celsius on my phone. The gear icon doesn’t give me options to change unless it’s within one of the links. I know it’s free, but unless I can view the temperature in degrees I’m used to, it’s useless.

Need more data

2024-02-28

OverlookWeather looks great! I just wish that the widgets would show more information. For example, the square home screen widget that shows 3 day forecast does not show the current temperature. I love this widget, but I need it to show the current temperature.

Additionally, the other square home screen widget, which just shows the current temperature also needs to show the high and low temperatures for the day. Other than these things, it’s great! and yes, I would definitely pay for OverlookWeather. If it would update the weather hourly at a bare minimum.

One more thing… I wish that the main app would also have a sunset and sunrise indicator, even if it is very minor.

No longer works

2024-01-28

Dead in the water after 16.3 update. Can’t load any locations or forecasts.

Edit: Had to uninstall and reinstall to get OverlookWeather working again after upgrading to 16.3

Issues with widget

2024-04-10

Pretty awesome and vibrant app. I really enjoy the aesthetic of it. My only issue is with the widgets, no matter if I uninstall / reinstall app or reset my device the widgets will not work, or populate any images which is unfortunate because the widget is the primary reason why I download OverlookWeather. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next update or I’ll have to find another app widget. :(

Beautiful and simple weather app

2024-08-26

It’s nice to come across a simple and elegant weather app that is free. Thank you!

Weirdly good

2024-09-27

OverlookWeather Store is filled with questionable things and this tiny 4MB app that collects no data is an outlier. OverlookWeather itself is functional and absolutely gorgeous.

Exceptional design

2024-10-28

Apple should hire you! Simple and efficient design. Congrats! Start charging for additional features as they come. Cheers!

Very Clean App

2024-11-29

Like the layout and simplicity of OverlookWeather. Looking forward to the future

Beautiful Weather Visualization

2024-12-30

OverlookWeather is a beautiful looking simple way to view the weather

This is a gorgeous app

2024-01-21

OverlookWeather is gorgeous and displays the weather at a glance. It’s minimal and beautiful.
For everyone staying OverlookWeather needs more displayed data and info, you don’t understand that this will cost the developer money which will then require a subscription model from us. I for one refuse to pay a penny for weather data that is free online at any given moment.
What makes OverlookWeather special is its design and minimal interface and data. In this digital world it’s nice to find an app as beautiful that is free.
Subscription models must die.

Awesome app

2025-03-04

Great app, have the widget on my Home Screen, would love to see a complication be able to be added on my Apple Watch

Holding Out for a Hero

2025-04-01

Sick of ads? Sick of in app purchases? I sure was!
I was Holding out for a Hero, an app that would allow me to check the weather for free without ads and in that looked better than the stock app. OverlookWeather has it all: Widgets, Forecast, Simplicity. I am forever indebted to the people who made OverlookWeather. All i can give is a thank you and a place in my heart but you’ll always have it. This is the best app i’ve ever downloaded!

Simple & beautiful

2025-05-03

A tasty bite-sized little app that does one thing and does it well: show you the weather.

And I mean show as in not just showing numbers, but actually showing you graphs and subtle background animations that make you instantly understand conditions without even having to read. Well done!

Nice app

2025-06-03

I like the UI of OverlookWeather, very minimalistic and clean. I do think there is some room for improvement like showing a more extended forecast, currently only shows 4 days ahead. I would also like to see severe weather alerts and customization options. I’d be willing to pay for a pro version.

Hubba Hubba 😍

2025-07-05

Beautiful and elegant. I agree with the other reviewers who just want more data. Very similar lay out to WeatherNerd (during app due to Darksky api shuttering). WeatherNerd gave next hour precipitation, upcoming week overview, and had a calendar for extended forecasts. That was the first app ( and only app) I subscribed to.

This really is a beautiful design

2025-08-05

Loved how you animated the sunrise/sunset with correct moon phase. Would love landscape support with a 48 hour graph.
Again. Thanks for making a great and free app (Though I would probably pay a small monthly fee .. which is saying something)

Wow! (in a good way!)

2025-09-06

I read an article of how awesome and beautiful this weather app was… and I decided to give it a try. Wow! I’m glad I did! It’s simple, and yet very elegant! And better yet, no annoying ads nor collecting data from your phone. Love it! Excellent Weather App!!!

Excellent app

2025-10-08

Beautiful, minimalist yet gives you all the needed info, and best of all, doesn’t collect any data. 10/10 perfect app.

WOW. Now that’s a WOW!

2025-11-09

Love OverlookWeather! GORGEOUS and useful. Like Alto’s Adventure and Apple’s Weather app had a baby. My previous favorite was Dark Sky, and SO sad to see it go. I live by my weather app for work, and being able to look ahead quickly is crucial. Overlook is a new paradigm in design- instead of numbers or emoji, artistic visuals communicate the information. Yet subtle details provide the necessary specifics. Honestly, one of the best designs EVER. Compliments to the developer - feel free to add a tip jar!

Why no update?

2024-04-10

No update on over a year which is a huge disappointment this is by far my favorite weather app and it deserves attention! I love the layout. Simple. Clean. Aesthetic. As the information for the week available at a glance. Intuitive to scroll
Through the day and see the weather in such a crisp, clean visual. Beautiful. Easy to use. The important day to day data without a bunch of extraneous junk. Please keep OverlookWeather alive and give it an update.

App is fantastic

2024-04-10

I wrote a review previously saying that there was no widget and I was wrong! The widget just wasn’t popping up and I had to restart my phone a few times to get the option to add the widget. But now that it’s here, the widget is beautiful and works fantastically.

Clever swipe weather app

2024-04-10

Good for a quick snapshot of the current weather. No frills swipe action upcoming current and previous weather expectations. Great App. A little more info would be a nice addition for OverlookWeather .

Simplicity Perfected

2024-04-10

This is by far the most enjoyable weather app I've ever downloaded. Great animations & the weather details on one screen without the extra mess. You won't regret it!

Beautiful

2024-04-10

Just the greatest app the absolute best weather app of all time absolutely perfect no one could make a better app

Great

2026-01-10

Does what it’s supposed to do can ask for more than that.

2026-02-11

Nothing negative to say. Does the job, looks great and superior to the stock weather app
