1. 5/5Concise and Accurate Data, Wonderful Snark

   If you need me to use more words to convey my feelings about this app, go back and reread the title again. For people that don't know how weather measurements work: this app gets data from a server somewhere, which in turn gets sensor data from a weather station somewhere near you. There aren't an infinite number of these around, but if you are in the US, the nearest one is probably within 1/2 mile of your current location. In that distance, it is very possible that the temperature is different, the wind is different, the falling moisture is different, etc. The app is not failing, it's just impossible to have infinitely precise measurements. If you need infinitely precise measurements, whip out your own measuring tools and test right where you are. Just saying.

2. 3/5Won’t work with location service off 😢

   I enjoy this app, and it’s no less accurate than any other. It’s entertaining first and foremost. Unfortunately there’s no option I can find to simply enter a location you wish to know weather info about. It only works with ‘location services’ on the phone. I keep location service off as a general rule and it’s frustrating to have to turn it on to get weather! I then have to turn it back off afterward. I would like to enter my town and have that info saved. I also would like to know the weather in a couple other places too, especially when I’m on a road trip! I often don’t carry phone service on the iPhone and only use it on WiFi, and grab my hotspot when I am going to be away from free WiFi areas, so I am afraid what the forecast won’t work in those times... Just not as useful as I would wish. Maybe the paid version offers the ability to save several locations and provide weather without needing location service on? I don’t know! But I think I’ll be going back to no weather app and and simply checking on a weather website where I can input my location as is useful.

3. 4/5Widget doesn’t update??

   I love this app; definitely spices up whatever weather with the phrases and brings a chuckle to my day. Given that I only just redownloaded it after a few years when I realized it has a widget (I’m always late to the game lol), I might be sorta dumb and missing something, but the only way I find I can get said widget to update to current time is to remove the widget completely and then add it again, which I find frustrating and it sort of defeats the purpose for me. Otherwise it just stays the same for hours upon hours and then is no longer accurate, even though opening the app itself shows current time, temp, and weather. Again, maybe I’m missing something but that’s the only downside. Weather is accurate and I love the customization options, too.

4. 5/5Informative and entertaining!

   I absolutely love this app. It takes some real genius and talent to create a useful application. To make an app entertaining takes creativity a unique perspective on life. This application is both very useful and uniquely entertaining. I expect a weather application to be informative but funny as well? What a great idea! The developers have really delivered in both aspects. Every time I open the app, I get very accurate and up-to-date information on the weather which is very important to me. Secondly, I get a daily dose of humor that is refreshingly edgy. I'd gladly pay for the app, but I'm very appreciative of the fact that it's free. Thanks are in order for the developers and fist bumps to whoever had the guts to make it so entertaining! Great job, folks!!

5. 1/5Unnecessary demand for continual current location access

   I drive for a living. I don’t care about a funny comment about the weather at the current tiny township I’m passing through because it will be in the rear view mirror soon enough. I want the weather 50 miles away at one of the locations I entered in the settings. But this app demands to look up the weather for my current location upon every startup and refuses to default to a preset location. For being designed in such a presumptuous way, it gets a single star. Reply to Dev: I thought I was clear. It’s not about foreground / background location lookup, it’s about pushing a location lookup at all. It’s not about battery, it’s about pushing the current location lookup at all. Perhaps Dev doesn’t move much during the day, but I’ve ranged across 1000+ square miles as part of an average workday and when I pull out the weather app I don’t care about *current* location - I’m looking for one of a few preset locations. Dev didn’t understand my review at all.
