  • Was perfect, now broken

    This app was great, the low profile way it integrates with the menu bar is amazing. However, it now seems to have a problem on MacOS with CPU threads running away and the app becoming unresponsive. This has been happening consistently across multiple machines, and is only fixable by killing the process in Activity Monitor and restarting the app, which wouldnt be a huge deal if this wasnt necessary like once a day. I've emailed the devs for almost a year about this with no response.
  • Dependable and worth the money

    The design language is a few generations behind, but today it’s still cohesive, bug-free, and puts the weather where it always should have been - in the menu bar.
  • It's okay, but buggy

    I have a lot of problems with this. The worst part is the constant updates that need the app to be restarted, otherwise the icon doesn't change to reflect current conditions. That was before the app went all wacky on me and changed to the default raindrop icon permanently. Apparently, they're demanding that I subscribe in order to have an updating icon in the menu bar, even if I manually update conditions. The app also gets confused at times, usually during late night hours. Click on the forecast for a day and it will display the detailed graph for the day after. Another problem that has persisted for all the years I've used this is that the radar window never loads on the first try. Not once for me. I've learned to click on the radar icon, click to close it again then click a third time, at which point it usually but not always loads.

    I think the developer has abandoned this project, which is sooo sad as it was the best Mac Weather app BY FAR!! Soo sad to see another app not getting updated regularly.
  • Nice to have on Mac, but...

    Very well designed as it matches the operating system. It is seemless and gives a lot of infromation with a quick glance so far so good.
  • Used to be great

    I pay extra for more often updates. This app no longer updates itself unless I click on it. I am cancelling it because I have gotten NO HELP AT ALL from the developers. Not even a pro forma response.
  • Works great, but...

    ...after a few weeks, it no longer updates the tempature in your menu bar, and looks for you to subscribe! I deep sixed this greedy app as soon as it hit me up for $$$. And to think I ALMOST put in my newsletter as "pick of the month!"
  • Good app until IOS 14.5

    I was very happy with this app until IOS 14.5 was released. Now it won't open. Too bad, it was my favorite weather app.
  • Have to pay to use
