Weather Mate - NOAA Radar Maps

If you’re like me - a former loyal user of the Storm app, which was abandoned recently, you have found your new weather home. This is the first app I’ve found that is as good or even better in some cases as the original Storm app. You’ll find everything of what you loved about Storm here. And the interface is much better. Easier. It’s got more potential. Weather Mate has all the bells and whistles I was accustom to in Storm and MORE!! Stuff like Radar, Pressure Fronts, Storm Tracks, Lightning & much more. You won't find them in any other app now. I’ve spent a lot of time and money evaluating almost all weather apps on the app store & concluded that Weather Mate beats the competition fair & square. Most importantly, the people running this seem like they actually care about their users, and will listen to user feedback. So delete that piece of crap, Storm Radar (which replaced the original Storm app), and ante up for this terrific replacement. Bye bye Weather Channel, and good luck with your "upgrade". Now that I’ve found this new weather home, I hope it remains on iTunes and stays supported for a very long time.

Few days ago, when all the others on my wife's iPad said 26° WeatherMate said 42° which was spot on with the TV weather dude. Best presentation of Weather Underground data. Why? You can actually pick *exactly* which weather station you want to use. (Check the Weather Underground site for a map of the ones nearest you.) I keep coming back to WeatherMate. Easy to read. Plenty of detail, even for weather geeks. Tried 20+ other weather apps: no kidding. Some pretty good ones, some trash. I’m a weather geek. I put it on mi esposa’s iPad, she prefers it too. Let's face it: other weather apps are simply inferior. WeatherMate sources from the nearest station. (In our case, a mere half mile away.) Makes a huge difference in our hilly desert southwest. The software is nicely done: smooth scrolling, comprehensive detail (even travel planner with historic norms). Access to long text and suspected hourlies is easy. Selection among a plethora of display elements is easy. The widget is great. Support is generous and courteous. 😊 WeatherMate, rain or shine. 🌤

I’ve had this app for a couple of weeks now. Replaced ‘storm’ that has been sold so many times I get tired of the changes. At a glance, I can see the most pertinent and current information. With the swipe of a finger I can see the rest. Very user-friendly and easy to read. I love the ease of this program and all the information it provides without having to search for it. So far it works seamlessly with my phone and Apple Watch. Accuracy seems spot on. Ads are a pain as always - but I like this app so much I’m considering actually buying it. I would love to have a temperature alert - that I can control (so I know when to cover plants or blanket horses). I live in Florida we have very erratic weather! The only thing missing is the push notifications if bad weather is coming but I haven’t double checked my settings...

It’s a good app. Very good. Awhile back I gave it a glowing review despite the few, short ads. Today I opened this app and was immediately faced with a Lending Tree ad, which had no X to turn it off, and was taking too long, so I went to my other weather app. I still wanted to look at the “future” radar screen, but there was the same, overly long LT ad. This time I waited over 30 seconds but the ad stayed, so I touched the little arrow which I believed would take me to more of the ad. Instead, I got the screen as I had hoped to do, but as soon as I touched the radar button, the doggoned LT ad came on again! I don’t mind sitting through one short ad if the app is a good one. With this app there is always an extra ad if you want to watch the radar. I don’t appreciate that, but the second ad was previously very short. To have to see the same long ad twice before you can watch the radar is unacceptable Weather Mate, you have lost a supportive fan. You seem to have forgotten that you have more, excellent weather app competition out there to compel you to keep up with it, but, instead you are falling back.

It is very user friendly. I love the various maps you can use including radar, satellite etc. I appreciate the option to add other cities. I also love the accuracy of the weather forecasts. I personally wanted to use this app for its maps and the info provided through the forecasts. They only thing that is missing is an option to view the temp without having to open the app. Often I am checking the weather as I am rushing out of the house to work. It would be convenient to have the temp outside of the app, so I would not have to open the app and go through a commercial to get to the weather. Of course like every other free app out there you will be forced to watch a commercial, but it is something I tolerate. 😒 Otherwise I really like the app.
