Weathertron — Live Rain, Snow, Clouds & Temperatures Reviews

by OtherBob2

App is amazing, but often resets so need to go through the tutorial and enter location and settings every few days… it’s sad, because this really was my favorite weather app

Boring. Very little info .

Love WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures . I don't like tapping through the tutorial every time I use it after an update. It happens often.

I really like the interface, but WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures regularly resets and goes through the tutorial section (and requires me to renter my location). This is extremely grating when I just want to quickly check the forecast for the day. Please fix - this has been a bug for over 3 years now

I think its good but for the iPad I want some more info. Give me barometer info, wind info. Maybe some maps. There is such a large screen for such a little UI. Stop cheaping out and make a separate iPad interface. You could do a little more. And the graphs could be labeled like every 3 hours if you don't like every hour. I think the UI is a stretch. You don't have to avoid an anti-skeuomorphic design paradigm that has taken over much of iOS design. Maybe add a clock to it. Something that I can leave up. And dimmable, for beside my bed. I like that for a bed interface. Maybe put alerts up for weather reports for my area.

The line graphs are nice, but the tutorial runs every time you open WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures

A little goofy. Also no Today widget. What use is a weather app without a today widget

by CoasterFanDan

I'm convince the bad reviews are other developers trying to trash WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures. Plus I am no way affiliated with the developer, you can click on my name and see how many apps i've reviewed so you can see for yourself… I really liked the way this looked so I took a chance with .99 cents. This thing was very accurate. I played around with it. Looked at it compared to the weather channel. The hourly temps for today matched, plus the weekly temps for the week matched… its getting to the point where I don't trust reviews much anymore, I just go with my gut… and yes I realize the irony is I'm writing a review here. But honestly. I like WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures….

I have way too many weather apps but I liked the screenshots of this one so I picked it up. The UI is very cool and gives you a quick look at the current weather and the forecast. Shows cloud cover and rain, if any, happening right now and you can easily see the high and low temp for the day. It does only allow you to have one city available at a time which is a bit of a problem. Also I'd like to see the wind speeds which don't appear to be shown anywhere. Overall though its a very good start and I hope WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures continues to be developed.

Most of the reviews seem to be related to bugs after the demo in which either the conditions don't refresh properly, or the location finder doesn't work quite right. You have to play around with it for a minute or two in order to get it set up properly. They'll take care of the bugs, I'm sure, but from what I've seen, it actually is accurate, as in 1 degree within weatherbug on temp, and so far, accurate with cloud cover.

It really is a slick weather app. I like the way that info that is usually presented as a number or picture is shown as a graph with a bit more detail. There is zero clutter, and if it continues to be correct, will be my go-to weather app.

My big complaint is the lack of some sort of shortcut to go to the current conditions. You have to scroll around the screen to the little red arrows to get to right now. They should add a button or gesture that'll take you to right now instantly. It'll make things so much better. That's my biggest complaint.

Otherwise, good app. I'll be using it. And like I said, the accuracy seems to be pretty good, despite the negative reviews.

Mornings always call for a check if Weathertron and it’s basic UI is what I need. Fast, pretty accurate, and lo overhead. If you need to see humidity, radar, etc. other weather apps are loaded with stuff but this is like first getting in car - you check your gas tank. That’s what WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures is - essential.

by Bronxred

UPDATE: They fixed the bugs. Thanks! Five stars!

This is a gorgeous app. If it turns out to be as or more accurate than Climate Clock and Dark Sky, it will be my go-to app and I'll shout from the rooftops for others to try it out. Like others, I'd like to see it use multiple locations, but I don't think it deserves the loss of a star for that. The problem with getting back to "Right Now" is a real one, though it has an easy fix I'm requesting from the developers — make tapping TODAY take us back to Right Now. It almost does as is, so maybe this is an early bug. If you can also add alerts for when it's about to rain in my location, or a temperature badge like Climate Clock does, we'll all be in weather nirvana! In the meantime, thanks for a gorgeous app!

It provides an easy-to-comprehend, quick view of today’s weather, along with the same view for tomorrow. Then you get a 7-day forecast without extra details that would create clutter. If you want an app to give you dew points and all the weather nerd data, use the Weather Underground app (which I also use). But WeatherTron is very good at being that fast, go-to app for checking in on current conditions and the forecast. Because of the visual layout, I basically have an idea of the entire day at a glance, including precipitation chances, cloud cover, and temperature. I open WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures probably 4-5 times a day, almost obsessively. :)

And after reading the reviews here, I can say that I’ve seen no accuracy problems with it.

Years since any updates, but it still works:)
Boasts the nicest balance of info and simplicity. Only thing missing from my list is wind speed. Still the best for an at-a-glance, pretty comprehensive idea of today's and tomorrow's weather forecast.
(Particularly since IBM scuttled Weather Underground's functionality, and Dark Sky provides consistently inaccurate conditions and today's forecast for my city).

Intuitive visuals; projected temperature trend line is a nice touch

by GoGo Soda

This is my goto weather app. It is simple but gives you what you need to know quickly. Thanks for a great app!!!

by JustPictures

Weathertron is awesome! I use it many times a day. It's amazing that it has kept working for 6 years without an update - but that won't last forever. KEMPER OR SOMEONE PLEASE PICK WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures UP AND KEEP IT ALIVE!!! And, if you can, add wind speed and direction.

by GSpeer

The simple GUI tells everything you need to know with a quick look. Also nice is that the info is collated from several weather services.

by R Koshy

Most elegant weather app around. Can get a read on weather conditions at a glance(low cognitive load) plus it is so beautiful and easy to use. WeathertronLiveRainSnowCloudsTemperatures builder’s aesthetic sense, functionally and interface-wise is unparalleled.

by Llambrano

I'm glad to see people up there that still care for good visuals. Excellent job presenting the information in a very simple, and efficient way. Well done!

by Monjohn

We have all tried dozens of weather apps. I have several on my phone now. But this is the one I check first thing everyday. The way that is displays the data with graphics instead of listing data is inspired. I can take all important data in with just a glance.

I would be really bummed if it went away.

Thanks for creating it!
