Nice little weather app

2.2

This latest update replaces the really nice, globe based radar view from Forecast.io with a boring run-of-the-mill radar view from some outfit called Aeris. The developers say the former is being “deprecated” even though it’s clearly still available in the Dark Sky iOS app. It was a perfect, 5 star app before. This unwelcome change has cost them a star.

2.0

The issue I mentioned below with the opaque white background has been resolved. I literally have no complaints with this app whatsoever. It’s the best weather app on the Mac hands down!

1.5.2

The issue I mentioned below with the odd locations appearing out of nowhere has since been resolved. Additionally, the ability the remove locations has been significantly enhanced. The app just keeps improving! But the latest small glitch I’ve noticed is that when you turn the background image completely off it is replaced by an opaque WHITE background whereas previously it would have the same TRANSLUCENT background as the rest of the window. It just looks weird and out of place. That being said, I am running the El Capitan public beta so that could possibly be the source of the issue. Does anyone running Yosemite see this as well?

Radar images! This is bar none the BEST weather app on the Mac. We now essentially have a Mac version of the awesome iOS app Dark Sky! The only thing missing in that regard is the ability to "spin the globe” when viewing the radar map. One small glitch … I have 2 locations that appeared out of nowhere as LAT/LONG coordinates. Somewhere in the middle of China. For some reason I can’t seem to remove them. Other than that this app is just about PERFECT.

1.2:

All the issues I identified below have been resolved. The one-time charge for more frequent updates was a bit more expensive than I anticipated, but these guys are running a business so I get it. This has definitely earned a spot in my menu bar. Great app!

1.0:

Works as advertised. Great UI design. Love the animations. But it could use some improvements:

1. Multiple city support is a MUST. Especially for 5 bucks.

2. The font size needs to match the standard Apple menu items. Right now it is noticeably smaller and looks out of place.

3. Weather can change quickly. A “hyper local” weather certainly needs automatic update frequencies of less than 1 hour. 15 minutes minimum in my view.
