ClassicWeather HD

My fav weather app for 4 years. Now onto iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 18.x but one feature has gone. Unfortunately, now there is NO TEXT SUMMARY of the forecast any more. There is a tab for that feature but it is missing a brief but useful description like before.

I used to love this app, but the update has made 2 changes that I don’t appreciate at all. It changed my location town, which now is a name of a town it doesn’t exist in my state, let alone in my county. The second change I totally don’t like is, it doesn’t give the option anymore, to chose 2 icons per 24 hours (which was a DAY icon from 7am to 7pm and another NIGHT icon from 7pm to 7 am). Now it’s either one icon per 24 hours, which it doesn’t work well: if you see a rain icon on a certain date, you don’t know if it’s going to rain during the day, when you’re out and about, or during the night when you’re sleeping. That’s pretty important. The second option is 3 icons per 24 hours, which doesn’t give you an accurate prediction: if you set the icons, for example, at 8am-2pm-8pm and they’re all sunny, you’d think the whole day is going to be sunny. But no, you could have a really bad storm between 2pm and 8pm that lasts 3-4-5 hours, which won’t show up, since none of the icons are set to one of those times. It doesn’t make sense.

I have been using classic weather for years and found two locations within a few city blocks of my Chicago home. Then I was advised to update to the HD version. First, the “upgrade” eliminated all of my locations. When I tried to add either of the two locations there were “no results.” Fortunately, this only happened on one iPad and I still have at least one of the locations on my second iPad and both on my phone. I will start looking for a new weather app and hope to be able to delete this app on all devices. Thanks for making things worse!
