Weather WOW! Reviews

by PHJ1216

Downloaded this. Was supposed to get the "premium" version. I waited 15 minutes for it to download. And all I got was my battery being drained!!! As others have stated can't figure out how to go back after you get on the weather page. Entered my town. Put it in the list. Went to check the weather & it gave me info for a place inTexas. Not even in the same area of the country. Ended up having to delete it & redownload it. All the same issues. Not wowed with this at all.

Probably the most inaccurate weather app I have found yet. Forecast for the week ahead is about 10° - 15° degrees lower each day than every other weather source is reporting, which makes a big difference. No idea what source WeatherWOW uses for information.

Another annoying issue is WeatherWOW STILL makes sounds when I the phone is set to silent!! Sound also keeps playing in background while reading the two or three news articles it offers.

Several updates to WeatherWOW still haven't solved any issues with it.

How can I get Fahrenheit? Celsius not useful to me.

I am trying to navigate around the ap and found it challenging, to say the least! I found a news article that looked interesting but once finished reading it I couldn't figure out how to get back to the Westher Now page. Granted, I am not terribly computer literate but surely a return button would not have been too difficult. I did read the tutorial, by the way. If I can't figure out how to get the weather daily this won't be of much use to me. Perhaps a Help Now button!

Such a cool interface! I really love having to go through lots of motions to get some basic info.
Actually, the basic info has been wrong most of the time. This morning was not partly cloudy, and it’s not raining now, it’s blazing hot, and this kind of wrong info has been the typical for WeatherWOW.
Not to forget the incessant ads.

I love the sound effects for rain. Like the temperature display, but the daily and future forecasts are difficult to interpret. I'd like to know when it will rain or snow, how much, and for how long. WeatherWOW can't find the town of Walpole, Massachusetts. It shows on the list when you type the location in, but the weather and conditions are not correct. It does find East Walpole which is not a separate town.

WeatherWOW is simplistic, yet beautiful in its design, I would really have considered making it my default weather app if not for two things: it's a bit clumsy in its navigation (way too easy to swipe to a page where you don't intend to go) and there is very limited customization. Surely there is a way to switch from military time to 12 hour format!

by Brubee

The intent is good, but WeatherWOW is flawed. The temperature format is good, but some of the other data is not so useful. The forecast is not in an understands format. Also, the news is taken from another town with the same name as my town. In other words, the articles do not apply to my town. Best I can do is an average rating.

Turn the annoying sound off, set the F/C and select your city. Make sure premium mode is on to get rid of the excessive and very annoying ads....

Then you've got a pretty nicely designed weather app that just might become one of my favorites! Looks great and has a nice flair to the looks. The news is not always accurate- mine is picking news from a city I'm Ireland with same name but hey it was fun to see what's going on over there too!

by Smokemlehr

This is a good simple weather app that does exactly what it says: it gives you the current weather. The only thing between me and a five star rating is the fact that you can't tweak the units of measure for barometric pressure and other little tweaks like that. Otherwise it's a five-star app.

by Tomdib1

Does what it says. The only problem I have is that my town name in NY is the same as town name in England (and also a noun) so all my "Latest News" doesn't apply to me & I can't figure out how to shut it off. Otherwise, it gives the weather very well.

by Avensdesora

Seems to be ok but the news feature is so-so (as in confusing a tiny MI town for New York's Brooklyn). Also, the degrees are customizable but the rest of the measurements need to be, too. Looks like a great start but still needs some tweaks.

Wow....it has a wow factor!
Finally, accurate weather information comes right to your phone. Set your location and you not only get accurate weather information, but also .local headlines ticker at the bottom if the screen. Select one that appeals and you get the article opened right on your browser. What could be better than that? I'd give it 5 stars but then the developers won't keep making it better! It's a great app. Get it now.....!!

Beautiful interface. Its just not that obvious to me how to get to the screen where you add cities and change from farenheit to celcius. If that were a little more onvious I would give it a 5🌟s.

You're going to enjoy WeatherWOW. It's user friendly, decent mix of news and whether, and certainly much better than the default weather iPhone app. Give it a try; you'll like it.

by KaFaren

So convenient to get a simple weather app combined with Local news. Most news feeds are national or international, which is fine. But the small-town papers that carry info on your neck of the woods is unique. I like the animations too.

by Daryl Kent

This has a simple interface for quick checks of the weather where I am. I wish it had a radar but there are lots of other apps for that. The animated background is really cool.

by Sdslobecheski

I love WeatherWOW so much. It gives you so much information, and even news from your area. There isn't anything they've done wrong with this amazing app.

by Mrkelly1122

By far.. Better refresh and information all around... Must have.

I travel frequently and live WeatherWOW - have used it for a couple months now - found it to be accurate and really appreciate the current news stories feature - I can check the weather and the news quickly for where ever I am headed

by Jessethowski

People, these negative reviews are RIDICULOUS!
It's all laid out right in front of you…what could be easier?
WeatherWOW is great, and I am so glad that I got it. My regular iPhone weather section is great, and every other app
I have downloaded has been nearly the same exact thing except more complicated.
The news feature is beautiful, and the weather is much more detailed.
I say go for WeatherWOW – it's well worth it.
So there.
*HMPH*
I do have a couple of criticisms: the icons are difficult. Describing something in words is much easier than trying to decipher a picture.
Also, the tutorial should be made available at any time, not just when WeatherWOW is first opened.
Daily forecasts should be more frequent than every three hours—and what do the abbreviations mean?
