5/5Best Weather App Yet!
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.

5/5Updated review. Watch app still unreliable
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”

5/5The most accurate
I have used this app for over a year and absolutely satisfied it rarely is wrong. Better than a app at local tv stations. I have used app for a year now and I don’t like the change right now maybe later if I don’t change my mind I might delete and go to another weather app. N I have had the updated app a couple days. It won’t let me put my actual location permanently. Keeps going to whatever location is at the top of location screen in settings which is wrong and it needs to be eliminated and only what the user puts in like the old app did. Also needs too have the background color preferences put back instead of light gray or dark gray !!!!!!! Update on the above post. The developer has already made some much needed improvements. The issues I mentioned have been for the most part fixed and the app is now working much better than before. I am going to recommend keeping it now because the problem’s that I mentioned that gave information seep about weather conditions are more accurate to location i’m in. Thanks developer for your help.

5/5This app reminds me of the one snapped up by Apple!
Remember the weather app that was snapped up by Apple? Well, if this app keeps going Apple will snap it up too! It’s just that good! The many ways you can customize it keeps growing with every update so you can make it your own and it’s organized to make it pleasing to the eyes. Plus it does a fantastic job of giving you so many weather points, your friends will swear you’re a meteorologist! Really! When I say it will be snapped up by Apple like Dark Sky was is because when Dark Sky kept getting better and better, Apple took notice and bought it! I was just beginning to enjoy Dark Sky too! I won’t say whether Apple’s integration was good or bad but Forecast Bar is my favorite weather app and I hope it gets better and better for awhile before it gets eaten up by a bigger entity! The app for the iMac is amazing too! Thanks for working on this app guys!

5/5Highly customizable, clean interface, accurate data
Key points; highly customizable, accurate data, great customer service from devs. Great app. I love this app because it can be tailored to suit your own taste. The interface is clean in general, and you can add or remove fields on information if you want more or less to be visible from a glance. I think this app is worth the subscription, though many people want everything for free. Most weather apps have a boring or gaudy UI, are somewhat accurate, and have ads, with an option to pay to remove ads... that’s all. ForecastBar has served me perfectly. I’ve used Accuweather, The Weather Channel app, and the Apple Weather app, among others. Forecast Bar beats them all hands-down. The developers even went above and beyond for me with a recent update: I have my version of the app customized to avoid affecting my night vision (light discipline. red text on black) but a prior update made the phone go bright white while loading, which defeated my purposes. I emailed the developers, and they made the screen go black on startup instead of white. Problem solved, and most other people probably didn’t realize, or necessarily care, but it made a huge difference for me. Forecast Bar has never given me much of a reason to complain. Even when I did have an issue, though minor, it was fixed within days. Definitely a satisfied customer!
