WeatherWheel: Alerts, Forecast Reviews

by JstPlnOnry

WAY too many notification alerts for all over the US with NO way to turn them off. I don’t live if Texas or Oklahoma or New York, their weather alerts don’t concern me. Alerts should only be for the locations you enter to monitor weather, not places you don’t.

This is no longer working after the latest ios update. Please help.

I was really excited when I saw the clean design and great graphics of WeatherWheel, but I haven’t been able to get it to work. After asking if I want to allow notifications, location services and whether I want data to appear in metric units, WeatherWheel crashes every time. I keep hoping there will be an update to fix that, but for now it’s useless on my phone...

As a longtime weather enthusiast, I've been personally testing weather apps for a long time, but clearly, the developer has little or no experience with weather. First of all, I cannot see government issued alerts. Secondly, it lacks an hourly feature, replaced by a nice-looking but essentially useless wheel. Thirdly, it lacks radar, a news feed and many other key features. Also, in New York City, I was shown a prediction of 42 degrees and rain while I got 2-4 inches of snow and 30 degrees. I would not recommend WeatherWheel to anyone in need of a decent weather app.

WeatherWheel has potential to be amazing but falls short by way of an extremely trivial flaw - the fact that it shows 12pm as 12am, which in my lifetime has never been the case. easy fix I'm sure but it's enough of a mistake to leave the rest of WeatherWheel 's features and interface somewhat moot. I wish I could rearrange the locations as well as see a more accurate day/night cycle. I get that it's just for effect but it just doesn't work for me.

Trying to add a location, it automatically adds what it thinks you are looking for, without letting you approve or not. I was looking for La Fortuna in Costa Rica (which it cannot locate), but it added a location called Elst in Europe. Looking for Springfield, IL? Type Springfield and it links you to...some Springfield. It doesn't say which one. Is this the forecast for Springfield Illinois? Missouri? Massachusetts? It doesn't give you the option to choose and doesn't tell you which one it is showing the forecast for. But back to La Fortuna...I typed "Costa Rica" hoping it would give me some list of locations to choose from. Nope, apparently the forecast it offers is for the ENTIRE COUNTRY OF COSTA RICA FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC! Not helpful.

Then the real kicker is there are ads that look like they are part of WeatherWheel , but really link you directly to other apps and webpages. That's a deal breaker.

I have a trip coming and I am evaluating weather apps for it. I would gladly pay premium if an app looks promising. This one was more frustrating than anything.

WeatherWheel gets 2 stars instead of one for the unique and fun way you can scroll through the times. Too bad I'm not going to Elst.

Kind of annoying that WeatherWheel doesn't just register my current location for weather services, and THEN ask for more locations to add. That's a weather apps meta. And with tons of similar apps out there is important to have the basics before adding more independent designs. It's nice though, just annoyed by that one little detail. I recommend it.

First...where is the support? The second is why is the moon always a half moon? Would be great if the moon would change phases.

I’ve been using weather wheel for a while and it’s been great however when I updated to iOS13 it keeps crashing when I press on the card to see a more detailed weather breakdown of the day.

App is colorful, with illustrations taking the front seat instead of word-based information. Adding a location was initially confusing, as it's not clear if you're naming a location outer searching for one initially. WeatherWheel can speak the forecast for you, but does so in German and there are no language options. So if you like pretty weather apps that communicated the forecast in pictures AND you're a German speaker, grab this one. I'm neither of those so this just isn't WeatherWheel for me.

Pretty cool to be able to turn the world. It gives an accurate location. Yet to see if it is an accurate prediction of weather to the minute lol. So far pretty accurate. Only flaw so far it says AM till it hits 1PM. So at 12:00PM it still says AM.

Idea of scrolling through weather is brilliant and I’m recommending to my friends.

Found my location.

One fix needed - wind arrow points the wrong way

And though it’s not made for hunters, addition of barometric pressure would make it a grand slam

It could be better. I like that you can make it speak the forecast but the voice is off putting, it's probably the default robotic voice but it's unpleasant. Plus the graphics get blurry as it's spins around and you can't really focus on the weather. The concept of WeatherWheel is interesting but the execution could be better. Overall neat but I like the weather that comes with your iPhone a lot more.

This is elegant in its simplicity. The update was an excellent improvement although I would like to see the temperature icon also relocated to direct line of sight. I was able to set location for even remote areas I never thought I would find. It is easy to use, visually appealing and, using my own location, it appears to be reliable. I recommend downloading this interesting weather forecasting app.

It's pretty awesome, I like it. :) You can easily spin the wheel to view the scenery change. The graphics are lovely and I like that it changes in real time. I recommend WeatherWheel. :)

Update: The temp seems to be off by 10-20 degrees and it would be nice if there was an update to have 12h time instead of 24h. Still a nice app.

How do I delete a location?

I like WeatherWheel. It is simple, but has cute/beautiful styled animations. It has a lot of potential. Shout out to the little Pride flags!!

WeatherWheel tells you when it's going to rain in real time also this application is really good for people who work out in the weather outdoors and other stuff like that

I rarely submit reviews, but WeatherWheel deserves credit. Very easy to use and very entertaining. And a major bonus for me, being completely blind WeatherWheel is compatible with the screen reader Voiceover. And Siri is awesome as always and a great feature. I am very sure WeatherWheel 's graphics are stunning, but even if you can't see them WeatherWheel is still stunning. Siri gives the forecast with personality and with nice upbeat music in the background.
