Tomorrow.io: Weather Forecast

For years, I have searched far and wide for a weather app like TMRW. The depth of customizability, especially when it comes to notifications, was exactly what I was looking for. I do several outdoor activities that are weather dependent, so this app is incredibly useful. For me, I don’t just want to know the temperature and forecast — I need to know if I’m going to have to take my allergy medication, if it’s going to be too humid, etc. The only thing that would make this app better for me would be more notifications customizations and widget notifications. Specially, I’d love widgets and notifications for my activities and allergy counts. Thank you for making an amazing weather app that is free and not pumped full of intrusive ads.

I was so excited to find this app a little while ago because finally there was a weather app that would replace storm (before it was downgraded into just a weather radar app). I loved how TMRW weather has detailed hourly forecast info at a glance as soon as I opened the app, and a great extended forecast after one quick scroll. I just want a lot of info, instantly available, laid out intuitively, requiring minimal navigation through the app. This most recent update (June 15, 2021) just ruined the app for me because now when I open it all I can see is the temp and scrolling just takes me through big chunky pictographs with minimal info. Like they redesigned the app for old people who don’t want anything more than some basics. WHY is it so hard for app developers to not ruin their own products? One after another, they seem to want to streamline by reducing the availability of information, while adding large visual elements that don’t really contribute much. Guess I’m back to square one.

So clima-cell dislodged the weather channel app as my favorite weather app. It does seem to be the best weather app around for day to day forecasts, for tightly localized areas. I live in northern Colorado and I’m a daily motorcycle rider so I need a dependable accurate forecast. If I get caught in a snowstorm it could go badly for me. Climacell gives you the ability to tightly localize your weather area and that is one of its advantages over other weather apps. For example I have one locale for home and one for my office, they’re separated by about 12 miles. They differ, sometimes significantly, like snow/no snow and perhaps as much as 10 degrees. I’m no the kind of reviewer that gives out many 5 star ratings, so a 4 star from me is what would probably garner 5 from someone else. I mean, 5 stars means perfect, nothing could be improved on in the app. So I hesitate to give anything 5 stars, even a weather app as good as this one can be improved on, but it is the best around right now.
