App Profile: Atmosphere Weather

Best at a glance weather app I've found so far. Simple to interpret. And everything is on the main screen. No tedious drilling down several levels to find the data. Fairly customizable. And compared to other weather apps, no setting thru multiple ads for any action you perform! I like the 24 hour set up. Your entire day easily viewable to spot changes in weather, or focus on a specific time. I don't purchase many apps, but this was an exception.

This weather app is something new, and it has a lot going for it. Downloaded it via an Instagram ad with a free trial period to see if it is something I want to use daily. I like it, but I also see room for a lot of improvement. I especially like the wheel. It’s attractive, and the color coding is visually intuitive. The dynamic map at the center helps, as does the phase of the moon in the lower left corner. But the rest of the app is unpolished, unintuitive and cluttered. There should be an option to make the app badge show the current temp in my location. It has great promise and I expect that it’ll improve over time (if the developers open to feedback & suggestions, but the main thing for me is that I won’t pay 40 bucks over 10 years. Dark Sky is only $4, and that’s a one-time payment, and it is incredibly detailed and beautifully laid out—and accurate. It doesn’t have the nifty wheel, but I’m really not willing to be bled by yet another subscription. If the developer wanted to charge $6, even $8 for his work, I’m quite convinced that s/he‘d make a lot more over time. Although Apple users generally have disposable income, I think they should balk at paying a never-ending fee for a weather app. That’s true for me, anyway.

I was getting very tired of the native weather app on my iPhone. Found this app and haven’t looked back. Radar, temp, winds, rain, storms all on one page and accurate. I can select multiple locations to view and even choose my favorite MLB team “Cubs” and see game time weather and even purchase game tickets! I give it 5 stars and looking at purchasing the driving app from the same company. The best!!
