Mr. Chilly Reviews

by Jgrannis

With the new IOS update we can now see when an app automatically takes the information in our clipboard. Why is mr chilly doing this? I’ve used MrChilly for a long time but it’s very concerning that you are ultimately stealing people’s clipboards on launch of MrChilly . Everyone - you can see this when u open MrChilly . Be careful!

MrChilly accesses your clipboard without consent when you open it.

With iOS 14 they added notifications when apps use the paste feature from clipboard — it appears when you open MrChilly, meaning it swipes information you have copied to your clipboard upon opening the it.

Really deceiving... wonder what else they’re collecting and doing with this information

I thought this was a great app so I paid to support it. But now that we are in a heat wave and I’ve been paying closer attention to the temps, I’m realizing it’s not even close to accurate! It says it uses weather underground as a source, but the temps in weather underground are higher than what is showing in Mr. Chilly. Plus you can tell just from literally walking outside that the temp showing in Mr. Chilly is nowhere near accurate. Two stars because the UI is great but if it’s not accurate what is the point? I wish I could get my $2 back.

This a nice and cute app that shows a color gradient based on the temperatures in the different neighborhoods in SF and greater Bay Area.

However, it doesn’t tell you anything else about the weather/microclimates in the neighborhoods. For example, it would be nice if it could also show the cloud cover in the neighborhoods in addition to the temperatures (eg is it sunny in Mission Dolores? Is it worthwhile to go to Ocean Beach?).

MrChilly is good because San Francisco has different micro claims. So it is great to know what parts of the city are with temperatures. What could make MrChilly better is have more San Francisco neighborhoods listed and have MrChilly be updated more often so that MrChilly can still work with the latest version of IOS and iPhones.

I love the concept. Beautiful color coded maps of temperatures. The data seems to be based on forecasts, not live info. I use it every day because it’s very helpful and I can quickly understand temps in a glance. Living in the East Bay, working in SF where temps can vary by 5-10°, this is great!!

Of course there is still room to improve. For example, I wish we could have a view for Marin/Sonoma/Napa so I can plan my weekend coastal hikes and trips to wine county. I also wish MrChilly could do more with live data easily available, but also keeping things as simple and clear as they are right now. ☺️

I use MrChilly a lot when planning my outfits for the ever-changing Bay Area weather.

Occasionally, scrolling through time too quickly seems to be too much for MrChilly , making it crash.

by Jesserblah

I only wish it indicated the weather as well as the temperatures. I’m a native San Franciscan and I live in the mission but work in the outer Richmond and while it may be a beautiful, sunny day when I leave home, out by the beach could have low dense wet fog. Would just be nice to be able to know a little more info on those locations, i.e. if an umbrella is necessary or if there are high winds, etc

Seriously one of the best apps ever!!! I don’t know how they do it but it’s super accurate and really helps plan for the day. You can pick your parks, picnics, hikes or beaches based on what temperatures you are in the mood for. Also the additional extended Bay Area map allows me to plan more appropriately for the days I cross the bay. Whether I’m going to an A’s game or a Berkeley event, I actually have SOME idea of what to expect for the weather. It’s so clutch!

I recently left the Bay Area and miss MrChilly soooo much. Any recommendations on how to get something similar in my new area of ever-changing microclimates?!?

Coastal weather can change in a minute. True San Franciscans never leave home without a sweater. MrChilly lets you preview anticipated temperatures for the next 24 hours in neighborhoods from Marin to San Jose

Thank you for not using geo location map data. The other two apps in MrChilly Store Story do this and for those of us who don’t live in the locales these apps are featured for it shows local weather instead, without the benefit of the cool graphics.

Love the cute animated whale and boats. Will Karl be a future additional layer? Maybe some interesting landmarks or geo features to denote elevation?

Lastly, in the settings section, it would be great to have a few other to give feedback via Twitter or email items like those listed in apps like Transit or the like.

It was a brisk day. No sign of trouble. Then all the suddenly son, MATEO, nearly shook to death from a untimely gust of san Franciscan wind. If not for Mr. Chilly, I would have never known that we were minutes away from the , ,

by Candy Boobs

MrChilly is so helpful if you’re going to multiple neighborhoods. The UI is so gorgeous and easy to use.
I do wish it showed precipitation and wind. I’d even pay for that version.

The simplicity of fixed maps makes MrChilly so simple and fast. I don’t have to zoom and pan to find my info. Wish it was available for more cities.

by Dondedoug

All apps should be this straightforward, simple, and informative. Not trying to do anything else but give you the weather. No point system, no checking in crap, no adds, no complication. It’s a weather app that just gives you the weather. What a concept.

by SFGal202

Love MrChilly. Even though it will shut down immediately after I pop it open. I still love it when it works. I can plan my clothing for the day when I’m SF or if I’m going around the Bay Area. I’ve recommended to friends who also enjoy it. Love the sliding display by the hour and color map effects. Keep it going!!

by Falling Lots

Opened it for the first time in a long while. After some number of seconds, it crashed. I mean, it could be described as a spontaneous exit, because I already saw what I was coming to see...

But it wasn't an exit I asked for. So, crash.

Considering how long it's been since it was updated, this is... Unsurprising.

by Sninesix

It’s one of those hyper-local apps that you just need. It replaced another app that gave simple, real-time, weather data that was left to rot. Thanks to a hackathon this cute app emerged. I pay for it because it’s useful and useful apps deserve financial support, especially given how trivial the amount is. If you live in SF you need this period, but it supports the greater Bay Area so everyone around here should have it.

I love using MrChilly! It is both easy to use and easy on the eyes, such that it’s always a joy to open it up. Sometimes I open MrChilly just to look at it, even if I don’t need microclimate data. But of course, when I do need to know, I can always count on Mr Chilly for reliable predictions. I would give MrChilly 6 stars if I could.

by CarnalRugbum

Mr. Chilly is most excellent! It’s necessary in San Francisco to know what the weather is a 10 minute walk away, because that’s just how it is here. Mr. Chilly delivers! It’ll tell you where the fog line is, the difference between Sunny and “Where the frick is my windbreaker?”, and just slide your finger for the predicted temp at 9pm.
Mr. Chilly rocks! -Carl

by Pnshah

It’s seriously the mort beautiful and useful of the sf microclimate apps. Not too much or too little info

But.... recently it keeps crashing and more frequently. Now, I can’t even start it as it crashes right on loading.

It’d be 5 stars without the crashes.

by Peterknca

I use MrChilly daily! Great visual for seeing the temperature and planning my driving times! Thanks!

by Mobile Milone

This is the best SF weather app and the only one that helps you predict where the fog is and where the sun is shining at any given hour of the day! Thank you for making MrChilly!!!

by Joannabk85

Finally, I found MrChilly! My job involves travel around the whole city and it is just so good to know what I am in for. Thanks so much!
