5/5Working Weather
This app helps people who live outside to anticipate their weather. Various views help to anticipate winds, precipitation, temperatures, or cloud cover, as well as providing a bird’s eye view of surroundings (like fires, smoke, etc). Nearly instantaneous perspectives can make a huge difference for people who are exposed to the elements. If you desire to understand the science behind weather and forecasting, visit NCAR just SW of Boulder, CO. All the weather channels get their data from the USA government data, then repackage it. The supercomputers have made incredible progress during the last half-century. Zoom Earth has brought out quite a few features that still seem like science fiction, but they are amazingly accurate on the ground (especially when viewed on a tablet).

5/5Excellent live data
You can see current weather and see predicted weather up to a few days. You can see rain, wind speed and where clouds are expected to go. You can pinpoint a specific area on the map to see the weather as it effects that pinpoint. I’d like to be able to set more than one pinpoint at a time if possible. That would make it even better. You can see current fires and temperatures. I use this app all the time for weather updates on moving storms for myself and people I know in other areas. The weather is shown above the land mass with lines to separate the states. But you can also look at the entire planet. I use it almost every day.

2/5You reprimand me for posting “personal” stuff here & IGNORED my request or question below re: name
You did not address how you can see my name as I have “hide my email” enabled & it’s supposed to forward to my email and hide my personally identifiable info. 😏I contacted apple support over this cause I have my settings to not share when downloading 3rd party apps. ***I just re-downloaded so I could contact you here vs. your form as it requires an email. ****Please email me as to “how” you’re able to see my email or Apple ID (you left this out in your “Developer Response” 2nd email) I even created a nickname but you addressed me in the email that you sent in reply to my review of the app the App Store with my actual name !! 🤔 I can see features now but the forecast values under “layers” shows 10 but don’t see any when clicking on it only an “on off “ feature .

5/5Rising star above the rest!
This app has come a long way since I found it. This latest update just put the app to one of the most detailed weather apps with the simplicity of never going beyond the main page. No submenus, no complicated paths to get lost in. All menu options are placed eloquently along the edges of the screen (ipad for me), not obtrusive or in your way of viewing the product whether it be satellite, radar, temperature history to any other important product that the weather services provide planet wide. While some other apps may provide highly detailed data, I have not come across another app with the simplicity of navigation like this app provides.

5/5Incredible functionality and map layers, new Zoom Earth app is great.
I have been using Zoom Earth for years before it became an app. I love the functionality and different map layers that both the website and app provide. I use Zoom Earth all the time for looking at both live and HD satellite views, along with wildfires and precipitation. I was so excited to see that they created an app for Zoom Earth, and I immediately downloaded it. It is just like the website, except you don’t have to use a web browser. 5 stars out of 5, I would highly recommend Zoom Earth to weather nerds like me.
