While I like the options that are available, I find it really irritating how it has things that seem to imply that it will result in more detail in the widget, but actually it takes you to a web page in your browser. Particularly annoying is the 'Animate' item for the radar. Why doesn't this animate the radar display within the widget? No, it takes you out of dashboard and to their web page.
Similarly, when you look at the alerts, the text it shows is ridiculously truncated, such that you have no choice but to click the 'details' link, which of course takes you out of dashboard and to their web page in your browser. Why can't it reveal the details within the widget?

I thought I'd try it again on my new iPhone. I had purchased the Elite, a lifetime payment of $9, a couple of years ago. It located a city several miles away while other weather apps found a site much closer. The app took up too much space so I deleted it.Well I gave it another shot.
I followed the directions to put it in my iCloud. It didn't transfer to the new phone, and when I attempted to contact support and send feedback four different times. Their response? What terrible customer service. The other weather apps that I've used actually answer a customer back.I kept at it trying to figure out why the app wouldn't transfer and it didn't show up on my list of apps but did show up when I synced my old phone. I located an area on my library in iTunes for hidden apps, and re activated it. Now I could download and view it.
What a waste of time! The same old problem of location and stick with pictures and videos. While they may be interesting I don't want them on my phone.I did gain one thing in the whole process though. I found my hidden apps section, and I got Weatherbug off my phone again.There are much better weather apps that gives accurate data out there. What a waste of my time and money!.Totally inaccurate. I’ve used WeatherBug Elite and it’s earlier versions for years. For some time now, I’ve been noticing that it totally missed the forecast.
Since I was a longtime user, I just put up with the inaccuracies. Friends have used other, better apps and would often know better what the weather would do. Today was the final straw. The hourly presentation showed 0% throughout the day. No hint of precipitation anywhere the WeatherBug forecast.
Of course it was pouring rain with lightning, thunder and pea-sized hail. No hint at all from WeatherBug.
I was getting significant weather warnings from other apps, but WeatherBug was showing sunny with 0% chance of precip. If this was just one isolated incident, I’d blow it off. But this is the norm for WeatherBug.I gave it two stars because the radar presentation is actually quite good. I spent 30+ years as a radar air traffic controller, so I know what I’m talking about. I’m also a commercially rated pilot.
I have formal education and training in meteorology.If the radar presentation wasn’t good on this app I’d permanently delete it.Great weather summaries but harder to read now. I've used WeatherBug Elite for many years and much preferred the interface of it vs the newer WeatherBug app.
While I was glad to see it's been updated, as I've been getting warnings about it being an old app that could slow down my phone, it is harder to see the information. (1) the darker background of the old version was better; (2) now more 'white' space on the 10-day tab so you see less days on the screen without scrolling; (3) most annoying is the huge space right below the current temperature!Otherwise, I like we can reorganize the tiles. Why I still like the app: very pleased with the weather conditions info, forecast, weather alerts.
What really appeals to me is that WeatherBug uses local weather stations-ours is at the elementary school a mile away.Weatherbug is awesome! We are an “outdoors” family that relies on Weatherbug for guidance every day. It has an amazing set of assists well packaged for wonderful ease of use. We use the weekly overview, the detailed daily description, and the hourly views with a single tap. The Alerts provide timely updates for weather advisories and warnings. As a sailor the wind info is indispensable. For snow/ice the traffic cams give video of road conditions around our house and at the destination selected.
The radar real-time motion shows 100% accurate view where 1hr of motion is displayed allowing very accurate up-to-the minute ability to estimate rain/snow etc. We love this app and it really improves our quality of life.
Thanks Weatherbug developers - great job!.A daily morning alarm that has no off button. Weatherbug use to be a very useful daily info app in my life, with reliable weather alerts that I depended upon.
Now it serves as an uncontrollable daily alarm clock to wake us up and numb us to weather alerts that we depended upon, such as tornado warnings. Every morning I get a Pollen Alert, through the same push alert mechanism used by real weather alerts.
There is no way to turn this off except by disabling all push alerts (which would include disabling tornado warnings). Presuming this might have been some insidious scheme by an allergy medication sponsor, I deleted Weatherbug app and spent $10 to get the non-advertiser sponsored 'Elite' version. Nope, the daily Pollen Alerts occur there too, also with no way to stop it.
Pollen alerts occur even on days when there is nothing but rain for the day. I must now consider abandoning this weather app altogether. Humans need to sleep. I have written the developer three times, and found that to be a little better than broadcasting radio transmissions into a black hole.Still need multiple weather apps.
I admire different features in different weather apps. I suppose it’s human nature to have favorites. WeatherBug is my favorite for hourly weather at my place. When I am taking a road trip this hourly data at a fixed location is less interesting than more regional coverage. Other apps do a better job here.
Only one app gives me an overview of surface winds over a wide region. And sadly it is no longer supported. We need a weather app that can be user programmed from bits and pieces of our favorites. I would start with WeatherBug and end up with something very different.
Suppose we each would craft our own ideal weather app. Good luck.Doesn't work in Alaska. I've used WeatherBug for years and have always enjoyed the app but several things don't work in Alaska. I just purchased the elite version thinking there was more functionality but it was a waste of money. In Alaska the lightning reporting feature (Spark) doesn't work. The observation section doesn't work. The UV, Pollen, and live cameras don't work.
And several of the radar layers don't work. Also the only alerts I can get are watches and warnings. I cannot get special weather notices or advisories which are very important as they usually contain life threatening information when traveling in Alaska. I would also like to see the moon rise and set times as a nice feature. To really add pain to this purchase is that I get ALL of this information on the Free Weather Underground app. I just don't like the way they have it laid out.Fixed things, broke others. Had this app for years now and overall and generally very happy with it.
It does always seem to have some issues though. Some of these were fixed it seems with this big update (map animation for one) but nit sure how I like the overall format. I don't like that you can no longer swipe between your saved locations.
There also seems to be a bug with my main location. There are a couple in my town, and even when I switch to my preferred one, the 'now' screen indicates it's the other one, so I'm not sure what to trust.
May be a small thing to some but my preferred station is literally a few hundred yards from my house and especially wind data is important to me.The best paid weather app for iphone. First off disregard all reviews of less than 3 stars as they are rubbish written by morons.
Have tried all of the best professional paid weather apps. This one is the best as of 2017 for iphone. Some others are close. This has info laid out well.
Has all needed info. Alerts are good. Very configurable. If you have a rock bottom cheapo phone with no memory then buy a decent phone. Although this app takes less memory than many. Its not a problem. And you do not need to use clouds.
It will find any location or you can enter it. Has very good radar graphics also. For ten bucks i would not be without it.Customised home screen Restored!
After having killed the ability to move the home screen cards into an order that suited you, WeatherBug has now restored that functionality. Sometimes I wonder what developers are thinking when they remove customization functionality.
Living in Southwest Florida, I don't want to have to hunt down the card with the lightning data when the sky turns black. And air quality may be of importance to some in this area during fire season — so that's when that card may move to the top. Different strokes for different seasons. And all in all, a great, accurate, customizable weather app.
