1. 5/5Excellent map with tons of layers

   The big draw for me to this app is being able to quickly select from tons of different layers on the map and then seeing that data globally. And excellent wind information too that shows visually and numerically on the map and you can pick the altitude. So far in using it there is one major missing feature or perhaps I can't find it but I need to check humidity frequently so having a chart of predicted humidity would be really helpful. They have charts / plots for temperature, pressure, etc and you can view humidity on the map but no plot of it. Without that I do still use Apple's weather as it has humidity charts. But for everything else I use Ventusky. Then one minor feature which might not be possible with the data sources / calculations they have right now but if easy to add, would like to be able to see a little plot of tidal information anywhere in the world. As you do have great tide numbers on the map layer but for areas I'm not familiar with I don't know if that means high tide or how much further etc. As going somewhere with a tidal land bridge and don't want to get stuck (obviously I'll check elsewhere but would be sweet in here).

2. 5/5*Updated* Good Start

   So far so good. The updates for the initial bugs have really helped. Look forward to the possibility of landscape mode on iPhone. Biggest downfall right now and what keeps me going back to the website instead of the app is there's no wave information in the app. My job is on the water so that's a significant loss in my book. Look forward to seeing that as an addition. *As the developer said in their response to my original review, it would take a bit, but they came through as promised and the wave height has been added with all the other features they've put in so far. It works great! And now information I need daily for work is quickly and easily accessible and I can even get updates while out on the boat if needed as long as we are near shore and get cell service. The app is much smoother to operate on-the-go over the website (not criticizing the website, merely thinking of ease of use on a smartphone) and now has all the features for forecasting a day or several working out on the water. Thank you!*

3. 5/5Glad to have found this gem

   When Apple deprecated Dark Sky, I researched at least 2 dozen weather apps to become my go-to app. I ultimately went with Ventusky and based on 10 months as my default weather app, I’m more than delighted with the choice. I’m not a professional user, but it’s worth pointing out the # of other reviewers saying they use this for their jobs. For my needs it’s great. Accuracy: Very good in my area (Northeast US). Content: the # of weather variables you can look at + the array of models / data sources offered is first-rate. Lots of good detail - for example not only do they show the AQI, they show the various components. Features: The features in general allow the user to make good use of the content behind the app. The devs and designers have done a nice job providing settings that allow you to customize and see only and exactly what you want to. Interface: As expected, it took a little time to become accustomed, but it is well worth getting to know how to use it. App does a very nice job showing weather trends graphically. Graphics are eye-pleasing, user interaction is smooth. Transparency: App clearly shows the underlying weather data sources. Privacy: I very much appreciate that the company does not collect any user data or display annoying adverts. This is a powerful app. Not only does it provide data from numerous sources, it allows the user to zero in on exactly what they care about and customize the user experience. It’s serious high-quality weather - no annoyances like some of the other apps I evaluated. It does what it’s supposed to, and I’ve never had a problem (such as crashes or settings not working right).

4. 4/5Overall very useful and great visualizations, use of data. But there is a data issue.

   I use the app frequently as we are at an altitude where wind can be a concern. Being able to see wind speed at various altitudes helps greatly. Just one thing: there’s a bug in the app when I happened to tap on the farthest day out (current day + 7, last three times of the day) where the shown wind speed jumps up to 230mph for all locations. Clearly this is a null data problem and not really an issue for normal use of the app. Just wanted to flag it so the developer can add it to the bug list. Which is my only other issue with the app: the developer has many obstacles to getting in touch, providing feedback, etc. I’m posting this info here in App Store feedback as I’m hoping the developer is bothering to check this feedback. Recent lack of developer replies maybe suggests this won’t happen though.

5. 5/5I Love this App. It forces me to educate myself.

   I’ve had this app for several years. This is not a lowest common denominator weather app. In other words, it’s sophisticated & very accurate. With information and data a professional or avid meteorologist would require. I guess I’m saying it’s not a dumbed down app with averages and general info. I especially like the touch map location change. Touch the map to change your location. I am below the “novice” category user. But I manage to muddle my way through and I’m constantly learning more and more. I probably use the wind speed mode most often. I live in Abbott, AR. near the Arkansas/Oklahoma line called Arklahoma. Where we can have high and gusting winds 30 to 60 mph. Sometimes higher… Not to mention tornado activity. Especially in the spring.

   Love the radar forecast and Webcam

   Good hourly detailed info. 1hr and 3hr radar available in the free version. The winds speed and direction overlay is better than any other app I have found

   Critical for our hot air ballooning pilot decision making. The multiple low altitudes wind conditions are especially helpful. Thank you!!

4. 2/5

   The app is easy to use and having different meteor models is great. On the other hand, the app crashes often when changing layers, and this issue has not been solved in many updates, either for the app or phone.
