Weddar - Social Weather Reviews

users of Weddar can quickly report on what the weather is like at their location. A total of nine options are available to choose from, ranging from “Hell” to “Freezing.” Users can also set levels for “Cloudy,” “Rainy,” “Windy,” and “Snowy” via a tab bar, at the bottom of the Report screen. Once you’ve reported on the weather in your area, your report will appear on a map in the Check screen. Other reports will presumably appear here, too. Furthermore, users can check other locations (and make requests for weather reports for other locations), along with viewing statistics and searching for reports. A profile screen outlines everything about you: The reports you’ve made, locations you’ve tagged, points you’ve earned (via making reports), requests you’ve made, and more, can be viewed on this screen. A leaderboard shows off the service’s top contributors, and settings can also be toggled within Weddar . All in all, this app looks like a great app – and something iOS fans will undoubtedly enjoy.

You can log in with email rather than Facebook or Twitter. You can also enable anonymous reporting.

But connectivity has problems. Always has problems "connecting to the interwebz". Maybe they'd have more success if they tried to connect to the Internet. Some of the jokes are funny, until Weddar stops working right.

Also, the reporting system could be improved. I think the levels for wind, rain, etc. are effective. But the differences between "ok", "good" and "great" are too subjective and could mean anything. My "ok" could be the same as someone else's "hell", so even if I look at the reports around my destination, they are actually not helpful at all because I have no idea how I should interpret the feelings of strangers. Basically, the system itself renders Weddar useless.

I absolutely love the concept and design of this app. I like saying how the weather is, as opposed to being told. However it is frustrating when I do want to check the weather and there are only four or five reporters in MANHATTAN online in a given day. Some more advertising of Weddar needs to be done to actually provide the service Weddar is supposed to be doing, because if no one is saying how they feel, Weddar is not useful when I want a report. Building a huge following is the most important thing Weddar needs to improve on, because all the groundwork is laid. Weddar is beautiful and fun, so it should only be matter of time.

I very much like the idea of Weddar , but like others would like to see more reporting options and the ability to add brief comments. Also, I'd prefer to see Google maps view rather than satellite. And I'd like the opening screen to show a much larger area: I already know what the weather's like in my neighborhood. I'd prefer a quick view of the weather in the whole country. Panning out to see the country/world, too, takes too much work. This should be made easier.

For those complaining about FB/Twitter, you can easily turn off posting in the settings of Weddar .

For improvements: should change the happy look of icon to reflect the weather (stormy, hot, cold, etc) that way you don't have to click the icon to check the conditions. I would also like the rain/cloud/wind/snow extras to be included in the twitter report.

Great/fun app! Really good design on the icons. And the idea behind it all is brilliant.

Could benefit from a few things:

+ More weather options (thunder, hail, etc.)
+ Emphasize the need to tap the weather icons FIRST then tap how it's feeling. Too many times have I just hit the cloud and it posted when I wanted to include wind, rain, and cloud observations. It's easy to change the report, but the extra step is something which could be avoided by a GUI change.
+ Time stamped reports (reported X hrs ago). The fading of the icon is a good indicator but it's hard to judge how much transparency corresponds to time passed.

This sounds like a great idea for an app, and I'd love to use it and am happy to contribute by reporting. But I refuse to link to my FB account (if I don't tell FB where I am, why would I tell an app linked to FB, reporting my location with my full name?) and while I don't use twitter, the same would be true. That rules out reporting, and since you can't even use Weddar without logging in through one of those services, I've deleted it.

I would give this 5 stars if more people would use this...would be more fun! If your a weather freak like me, it's fun to update your weather in your town and see what it's like everywhere else...we just need more people using it 😊

I agree with some other folks here that what Weddar needs most is a larger user base. It really is a fun concept, but when I'm the only person in the entire state of Texas using it at any given time... Well, you get where I'm going with this.

Really great idea that I recommend to all people using iPhones. But they never seem to stick with it. It'd be nice to have a reminder that could be set up within Weddar . Or a location aware alert once iOS 5 comes out (if that's possible).

This is a great little app, but it would be nice if it had an option to either have your posts be anonymous, or at least to obscure your name. Otherwise who will post the weather by their house?

My favorite weather app is back!! I'm so glad I checked out of the blue to see that Weddar has just been updated after a crazy-long hiatus. So happy to have this app back in my life. Just add support for iPhone 6/6+ display size and it's perfect!

One key feature that's missing is the ability to interact with other people using this app. There's no way you can contact them or even give them a thumbs up or whatever. Feels like how a bunch of lonely people goto Starbucks so they can ignore each other in a group.

Weddar is not bad. There should be a way to see how long ago a report was made and I don't need to see the full name of the reporter. If you have to sign in with your social media your name should be limited to first name only. And you should be able to post a comment like muggy.

Weddar for me would be great if only the location would change. I currently am around the New York area and it tells me I'm in Lisbon not matter where I am. Other than that, great app.

Good app, just needs a larger user base. If you're thinking about getting this don't let the other reviews drive you away, they're outdated, about previous versions

Great app! I like being able to see others' opinions about the current weather and not just a number.

Nice to have a crowd sourced weather app. Has big potential. Especially the Midwest who is obsessed with weather.

Nice designed app it just needs to let you use a nickname...

I don't mind reporting, but let me use an alias or a nickname or something, also there is no contact info for 96HP on either site. Obviously they want to remain anonymous, so why not let us?

Also how about including the time the report was made and the temperature?
