Weather NOW: Forecast & Alerts

The view with today’s weather graph and the upcoming few days is quite nice. At a glance I can easily see the trend for temp. So often these apps just put in the temp with no visual. Helps that I don’t have to scroll and lose what date I’m looking at either. The radar page is flawed. The animation that plays back the current weather pattern is very choppy. Unusably so. Also, the snow graphic is very hard to see. Lastly, the graph page is so smooth when animating that it can be addictive just switching locations and watching the graphics morph between readings.

If you want money, try being straight forward and honest. Instead you are forcing previously satisfied users to accept your “new and improved product” with NO opportunity to REGET it. Even worse, you lock out your former, very satisfying app. The net result: both app’s, new and old are closed and deleted, now and forever. Why do I give you one star; so I can write this and warn everyone else who should be smart enough to review my honest, true and factual experience, provided of course, that you’ve got the integrity to print this ! ! ! Additional Thoughts: After being contacted by the Developer for a second opinion, I restored this app, and found it was even worse than I originally stated. Each step and each page during sign up, leave you NO OPTION except to accept the offering, page by page in order to finally get the “new” App. But the “new” app has locked you out from keeping the “old” app. You can’t keep the old app even if you want it. Nor can you restore any prior settings . Additionally, you have to agree to a release to accept and provide your locations, addresses, usage, etc. I have family in two countries in the far east, five countries in Europe, along with ten states. Your previous app kept me informed. I don’t want to expose any one to you or your income producing advertisers. Maybe NOW you’ll get the message ! ! !

I want to like this app but there’s a problem. There’s a pale third line indicating a temperature on the daily and hourly graphs but I don’t know what it is. This is my only recourse to get support. When attempting to access support on the website I’m prompted login. Since I don’t have an account I tried to create one. I was prompted for a user name and email address only, no password. I verified that I’m not a robot and the data was accepted. When prompted to login I’m asked for a login and password. I was never prompted for a password when creating the account. So what gives? I can’t be the only person who’s encountered this. I’m using an iPhone 6. Other than this snafu I’m pleased with the app but I want to be able to read it properly and the user support has proven useless. Is this a bug in the developers’ latest update? Or is this app just data-mining for email addresses? I’m hoping it’s the former, it’ll be rectified soon and I’ll be notified within a few days. If not, I’ll contact Apple to let them know about this.

I first heard about the WEATHER NOW app through an email which offered free apps for a short period of time. I downloaded the app and instantly loved it. I had always been fascinated with the appearance of earth from space. Recently, I received an notification about a new app, the WEATHER NOW X app. This is a newer version. I downloaded the app and the graphics are excellent! With that being said, there are two reasons why I rated this new version THREE STARS instead of the FIVE-STAR rating I gave for the original version. I dropped one star from the rating, because of the constant annoyance of having to look at advertisements EVERY TIME I wished to add a city to my geographic location list. This feature was a real sleeper to me. I dropped another star from the rating, because of the ten-city limit on the geographic location list. When I had the original version of WEATHER NOW, I was able to put about seventy different cities (and more if I wanted to) on my list. I liked to see the temperatures of various cities around the world. The new version has a limit of up to ten cities. I learned that I would have to upgrade to the PREMIUM version in order to add more cities and I feel that this is a way to get more money out of people. While I enjoy the graphics of the app, the annoying ads and the ten-city limit were what caused me to give this app a THREE-STAR rating.

Lots of pretty colors and gimmicky graphics such as the large earth globe on the main page which does not help anyone but sure does look pretty. Weather radar is very important to me and the very first thing I notice is how the radar map display only uses about half the screen real estate and that is a big strike for me. Another big strike is that the temperature was off a full 7° for my location. It says 61° when my other three weather app which use the National Weather Service feed All day 68°. Believe me I can tell the difference between 61° and 68° and I just verified as I walked outside. I rarely ever give one star reviews sorry but delete city.
