Description

Easily find the best times to witness natural wonders — or simply avoid getting caught in the rain! This beautifully crafted app and widget collection shows forecasted rainbows, clouds, rain, snow, wind, auroras, and other weather phenomena in a compact timeline format that's quick to understand at a glance. Innovative features include: • Extreme weather warnings are shown directly on the timeline, so you can see exactly when the danger is expected — including thunderstorms, fires, hurricanes, flooding, and landslides. • Inline minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts show the next-hour conditions derived from radar stations. • Air quality forecasts combine local sensor readings to provide health guidance. • Our proprietary algorithm even predicts the chance of rainbows! Use the interactive map to request forecasts for any location in the world — including mountains, trails, lakes, and literally anywhere you place a marker. We take privacy seriously with NO ads, NO tracking, and NO third-party analytics. Weather Strip only stores location data on your local device, and it always uses approximate locations when requesting weather forecasts. Weather Strip also respects your data plan, with optional background app refresh that automatically learns your habits, and the ability to view your recent forecasts even when your connection drops. Weather Strip is completely free to try for two weeks. After that, a minimal subscription price helps us keep the service running. (Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time by going to your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase.) Not all features are available in all locations. Forecasts are issued by Foreca and Apple Weather globally and by the U.S. National Weather Service (NOAA NWS) in the United States. Designed by data visualization researcher Robin Stewart to help everyone enjoy the outdoors.

    This app is great, it would be perfect if it had a way to indicate visibility like apple weather. Please do this. :-)
  • Broken Widgets

    The app is great, but the widgets are totally non functional.
  • Love the overlay format

    Still getting used to it but really wanted an app that would overlay predicted precipitation, cloud cover, wind, and temp all at once. Found it here! Def worth the modest monthly price (in annual plan) to keep my location private and support development, maintenance, and data fees incurred by the developer. Thank you very much for building an app like this.
  • Keeps getting better

    The author just added more enhancements to this app: some of my favorites are customizable "feels like" temp plus the ability to make it the primary main screen readout with actual temp as secondary, and an extended 9-day forecast available on the "strip". Great stuff. Kudos!

    The most innovative interface in a weather app since the original Weather Line.
  • At A Glance

    All the weather data anyone could want at a glance. And artistically presented. Perfection! PLEASE make us a Watch complication to go with it.
  • Subscription is a Deal Breaker

    Absolutely love this app, just wish there was a one-time purchase option. I avoid subscriptions as much as possible so that is a deal breaker for me. I have happily paid upwards of $50 for other weather apps to avoid subscriptions and would do so again for weather strip if they made that possible. Developers deserve to be paid for their work! Hopefully they will add this in the future.
  • So good, so contemporary

    Building on generations of best apps, this is the undisputed best app in 2024. Get it and also subscribe because the widgets are superlative. I have had this since it launched and this is still the best weather software ever. It might be the exemplification of such a thing. It’s so good. This is what you’re looking for. –pmod
  • The best hi-info instant-comprehension weather app out there

    Tired of looking at columns of numbers and trying to form an internal visualization out of them, or wondering how the cloud cover and precipitation likelihood will actually change over time from those crazy weather symbols, etc.? You may find, like me, that this information-loaded, incredibly intuitive, wholistic, and instantly comprehensible weather app is the only one you need ... it did away with all my favorites accumulated over years of searching, except the couple I keep for alerts & radar. This amazing app translates reams of data into a visual representation that is immediately comprehensible by the day or week. The widgets in themselves convey such a quick understanding of the detailed weather picture that opening the app is often not necessary. Weather Strip should have 10 times the number of 5-star reviews shown on the App Store.
  • Great information clarity and density, but a bit dull

    Weather Strip earns it place on my home screen with the amount of information it packs into each glance. It is a brilliant portrayal of the immediate situation and what’s to come. I think the design is brilliant, but I can’t say the same for the color scheme. The poor color choices are my reason for giving the app only four stars. Weather Strip makes every day seem a bit gloomy and flat. I wish the developer at least provided one or two alternative color choices, and that one of these was a bit brighter. I would like a brighter sun in a bluer sky for the sunny days, darker more brooding clouds for the cloudy days, shinier snow, wetter rain. It would be wonderful if Weather Strip not only gave me the information at a glance, but helped me feel the weather at a glance. Still, nothing else in the App Store comes close to matching Weather Strip yet. It will stay on my home screen even if it is a bit dull to look at.
