You want real weather information? Here it is!

If all you want to know is what’s happening outside your window, other apps will suffice and provide cute animations of the moon on a clear, cloudy, rainy, or snowy evening. You can even see what is expected temperature- and precipitation-wise over the next 12 hours! But that’s the limit of their utility. This app takes the absolutely opposite approach. You can drill as deeply as you care to into forecasts, weather warnings, trends over time, satellite mapping (animated or not), and much else. Set it up to tell you what’s happening anywhere you have family or friends, and you are all set all the time. Adding and deleting places you are traveling could not be easier - and, presto, the info is right there, front page, for you.

The only problems I’ve encountered concerns changes the NWS makes that (temporarily) deny the app detailed narrative weather forecasting. But the situation always is soon fixed. These folks care about delivering a quality product. If you want one, buy Wx.
