Reviews: What People Think About Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar
Hobermikersmith
Rating: 4/5
Been using this app for a couple years now and it’s high quality with a lot of good details and customization.
However, now that dark mode is baked into iOS13, I find myself disappointed with the current implementation and my inability to get my in-app weather screen to embrace the loveliness that is Dark Mode.
The app reflects Dark Mode within the settings screens of the app and on the widgets, but the in-app weather screen (where all your forecasts and such are) it does not (I’d love to be wrong and have missed some quirky detail here). I think this is where the customization backfires because I can only get my app to display in a mid-range grey colored background.
Technically I could try to achieve a fully black background by creating my own background pack via the customization (and I have) but even this I cannot get to work and so I’m left without Dark Mode support in the one place in the app that I really, really want it. And so I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that the app supports this new iOS feature when it isn’t done app-wide.
Again, I’d love to be wrong here, but until I can get the app fully Dark, I’m not feeling it.
Will update to 5* if/when the developers adjust their implementation to fully embrace Dark Mode app-wide.

I was a long time user of another app that decided to mess up a good thing a couple of years ago and completely change their UI and UX, and offer no support when queried, which lost them this customer. Since then, I’ve been looking for a new app. I work in public safety, and it’s beyond being a weather geek that I know what the weather is somewhere in my jurisdiction, and what it is predicted to do. And I like to use my watch to do it. (I never said I wasn’t a weather geek...). After two years of looking for something that updated reliably and proved to be accurate, with a customizable UI so that I’m looking at data that is relevant to me, I found it. Forecast Bar.
As far as support - I’ve emailed Derek and Jason a few times with questions about how to do something, or since the latest UI and UX update, suggestions or requests going forward to make it more of what *I* want (self serving, I know) and have received responses within minutes - and from a real person, not a bot. Better yet, they e incorporated a couple of the suggestions!
If you’re looking for an all’s round great weather app, spend the money, get Forecast Bar - you will not be disappointed.

Had updated my review because I started using the watch complications again due to the developer giving a response to my review saying that a recent update had fixed the issue. I updated my review too soon because I am having the same issue again. Back to the normal weather for my watch
Original review: “Love all the customization his app lets you do and I’ve decided it’s my favorite looking weather app and I’d love to use it for along time. With that being said every 2 or so days when I remove my Apple Watch for charging and then put it back on the watch can’t receive anything from the app..? But then when I click the empty bars it makes on my watch face under “fore cast bar” it will try to open the app for about 3-5 seconds and crash no matter how many times I try it and the main face of my watch still only says “forecast bar” and lots of lines. Please update to get around this issue because everything else about the app I love but I won’t be able to continue using it if I have to power off and restart my watch every time I get done charging it which honestly sometimes doesn’t even fix it. Will Change to 5 stars if fixed”
