4/5On the go Live weather
I think this is a great app, I like all the features it offers except for one thing it lacks but not sure if it’s due to me using the free version at the moment. This one issue will keep me from buying the pro version unless this can be corrected. The one thing I don’t like is that if you go off route it will not automatically recalculate a new route from your current travel path. It will display and ask that you return to route. The app does offer multiple routes but it would be safer for a driver to not have to pull over and not try to manually choose an alternate while driving. Lacking this feature is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars.

5/5Great Weather Detector - No Step by Step Directions
I purchased this on a trial to try out. It’s pretty accurate on the weather used it for going cross-country. timeline will be off tad just to remember I would recommend running a map or Google map app at the same time to get an accuracy of timeline arrival. We found it to be off anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes an hour. This was not including the time that we allotted for stops for gas, food, etc. One thing I did love about the app was that we could get a guideline of if we left a certain time a certain day, guesstimate timeframe of arrival and also very good to know ahead of time if there was any type of weather to look out for. Feature that lacking that it did not offer was step-by-step directions as this feature would have been great to have, then we would not have to run a Google map on the side. The other thing that I loved about the app was that we could alter the directions by adding a stop into another city or state it would allow us to alter the direction just a bit to give us a better direct route Tricking the system working around the map to make a better route and work around weather. All in all, I would recommend this app if you don’t need the step-by-step directions, but I feel I would be able to give this application a five star if they would add this feature make it seamless for somebody traveling I would still use it in the near future when I take another trip It’s very cost-effective. I’m glad I was able to find this application before my trip and it really did help me make decisions about how I was to travel through certain states or I was going to miss them all due to tornadoes hail wind, rain, or snow

2/5App Developer Don’t Understand Route Planning
Just got the app and to plan my first trip from Denver, CO to Augusta, GA, here are the problems and they are very annoying: 1) Picked Denver as my start point and Augusta as my end point, went to “Add Stop” and it takes me all the way Augusta first and then back to my first stop in Kansas. This is a basic lack of understanding by the developers as to how people plan trips. The only workaround is to know the route and to add stops along the way until your destination is your final stop. Makes it very time consuming to plan the route. Also keeps you from experimenting like heading to Albuquerque as a stop and then having the trip to adjust to the southern route along interstate 10 to weigh the trade off of extra miles to Augusta vs warmer temperatures and better road conditions since this is a motorcycle trip - can’t do it without making Albuquerque my first destination and then going stop by stop to Augusta. 2) Once you set a trip and departure time the weather along the way stays the same even if you modify the departure time, you can’t just change the departure time and watch the weather along the way respond to see the optimum departure time. You have to redo the whole trip with the new departure time at the onset.

5/5Worth it!
I’m not sure that I have ever reviewed an app, but this one deserves my time to say 5 Stars! I drive between SC and VA on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This app has provided me with peace of mind. I used to spend a lot of time checking different weather apps and watching the national weather reports to try and determine the safest routes, when to leave and how to avoid any potential weather issues that could impact my drive. This app takes all of that stress and uncertainty away. Super user-friendly and worth the price for premium! I’ve pinned this app to my taskbar! Highly recommend!

5/5DELIVERS
I downloaded this app for help determining when was best to take my road trip at a time inclement weather was expected. I found it invaluable and can confidently say, based on my personal though limited experience, that this app absolutely delivered on its intended purpose: For my trip, WOTW solved the "when is the best time to leave for my roadtrip (when inclement weather is expected)" question any frequent road tripper has faced. It answers this question in a manner unlike anything I've experienced before. No more looking at predictions across multiple cities and basically taking wild guesses on the best time to depart. How does it do this so marvelously? The "time leaving" slider. That's how. This slider is he best road trip weather planning tool I've experienced. It does exactly what you'd hope. Upon entering a destination/departure time, a slider appears below your route map. You can then scroll forward and even backward in time while weather conditions on your route map change dynamically based on current expectations. Perfect. Integration with Apple CarPlay is icing on the cake. I'm talking it's RIGHT THERE on your car's screen AS YOU DRIVE. It overlays above Apple Maps somehow. I wasn't able to explore all the amazing capabilities but saw enough to highly recommend Weather On the Way to any frequent road tripper. Or even - well, just anyone who wants weather from here to wherever "there" is, now or whenever, no matter how near or far. Highly recommended.
