5/5When Reasonable Accuracy Matters
If you’re like me then your planning and job depends on at least a reasonably accurate forecast. I understand it’s a fluid business, but accuweather and weather channel might as well trade their computers in for a window. I’ve seldom seen such reactive forecasts. I’ve been trapped in a lot of what I call “not rain” rain before as the major weather conglomerates struggled to update. And I found myself going more and more to Nick Pittman- who at least was confident enough to admit a mistake, or doubt, and honestly seems to be more in touch with the data at hand than the others. Much better accuracy here, better forecasting -by far- from here. I need to have a more dependable source than the reactionary bellicose mainstream weather apps - and I’ve found it.

5/5Accurate & precise
I love the app, it’s easy to use, always accurate. My only “complaint” would be not being able to delete locations once you’ve added one. I like to keep track of weather on places I have upcoming vacations to. Once vacation is over, I would like to remove that location. For now, I delete the app and download it again so it clears.

5/5Thank You
Thank You Nick, I deleted all my social media and I’m glad I can still get all the weather updates from you. Always on top of it all. Gracias 🙌🏽❤️

4/5App review
Very accurate - love having an accurate, no nonsense local weather app. One issue I do have with it is with my iPad mini 2. It worked great until the last iOS update. Now it starts to load but then it fails to load and the iPad returns to its previous screen. So I can’t use the app on my iPad mini 2 now. It works ok on my iPhone Xs.
