  1. 3/5Used to be better :(

    I LOVE Hello Weather for it’s simple user interface and functionality. I’ve been using it for years. However in a recent update, they changed the default weather source from Dark Sky to Apple Weather — which is never accurate. I only noticed this because I knew where I lived had a severe thunderstorm watch…and yet after this source change, the app somehow didn’t even mention the possibility precipitation. 😬 If I wanted to use Apple Weather, I wouldn’t be installing alternate weather apps, would I? The way you can change this is by subscribing. I get it… you need to make money. I would gladly pay for this up front rather than shell out a subscription, though. We’re in a recession and this is a weather app. Even so, in principal, I think that was really not cool to pull the rug out from under us users that have been using this app for a while. I really loved these guys but now I’m just frustrated. I will probably need to find a new app. Just wanted the devs to know that I loved their product but this was disappointing.

  2. 5/5Best Weather App For Everyday Life, Period!

    I have tried a lot of weather apps and this one excels them all! The clean and well-thought out interface make using this app a delight. I’ve used it for a few years now and have never had the desire to look for a new weather app, it’s that good! After using the free version for a short time I decided to become a lifetime member. This is the only app I’ve ever done that for! It delivers everything you need to know each day with out all the data clutter most weather apps suffer from. The radar is implemented well and has always been reliable when I feel the need to check it… super powerful. But the beauty and power of this app is found in the fact that I rarely feel the need to check the radar because the summaries given for each day are THAT GOOD! I also appreciate the weekly forecast with its simple descriptions of what to expect. This app has never failed me and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a clean, beautiful weather app that tells you what you need to know without all the other clutter!

  3. 5/5Perfection!

    App Update! Don't know how many years I've been using HW Pro at this point but the update is AMAZING! Hard work definitely paid off. My original review noted that there weren't data for allergens and air quality but this addition is very helpful. The new UI is intuitive (just give it a sec) and the customization makes it as crisp and clean, or as maximalist and informative, as you'd like. Alert and update notifications allow me to turn off my obnoxious local weather station notifications. Very old review: This app is really simple and really well laid out. It shows me everything I need to know and none of the extra stuff. The writers have some fun humor and who couldn't love the icon?? Pro tip: (I actually may be the last to know about this) tap the high temps for the week to see the low temps! If you need allergy info or a bunch of news, radars and ads and such, probably look elsewhere. But if you're like me and need the temp and when it'll rain, this app is definitely worth a good look

  4. 5/5Still Awesome After One Year 👍

    So I have been using Hello Weather for a year now (as of this month), and I have to say it’s still an awesome app. The app is always reliable and always works, without all the clutter that most apps have. I really like the fact, that you can select other weather services to compare information (guys you need to keep that, because most apps don’t offer multiple weather sources). The developers also respond quickly to any recommendations, questions, and concerns, which really wins me over (a lot of apps NEVER respond to their customers). If you want a great weather app that is not only visually amazing, but accurate and has all the information without any unnecessary filler GET HELLO WEATHER. I will be renewing my yearly subscription soon! 👍 (and guys thanks for keeping the price reasonable, some weather apps are charging ridiculous amounts of money). P.S. these guys are so awesome with this app I may just have to invite them for Christmas 👍🙂

  5. 5/5Finally, a literate weather app!

    I have downloaded & deleted more weather apps than I care to count, but I think this might be the one! I don’t ask for much in a weather app: I want to be accurate, I want it to give me weather alerts, and I just want to glance at it and see a sentence that tells me the weather forecast. When I wake up I don’t feel like looking at icons and deciphering what they mean, I just want a simple sentence saying it’s 35° and we’re expecting snow this afternoon, or whatever. Everyone wants different things, but it’s surprising how few apps will actually give you a sentence like that, everyone else seems so obsessed with gimmicky icons to the point of being illiterate, but this app nails it. I also like that I can easily see the hourly forecast and the daily forecast. Good visual chart on the hourly forecast that doesn’t just list the temp, but intuitively shows at a glance if it’s higher or lower. Nicely done guys, keep up the good work.
