Ratings and Reviews
Updating prior review.
This is actually a great app if you don’t mind the ads.
Annoying Ads, More Accurate Weather
The ads are really in your face on this app, which is why I give it only 3 stars. I can barely stand to look at it. I’d give it at least 4 stars for weather accuracy, though.
I have another local Austin weather app and in side-by-side comparisons find the forecasts to be more accurate on this app. This WAPP called for 100% rain and it indeed poured. The competition called for only 30% rain. On the other hand, the competition’s ads are on a subtle banner across the top of the screen, which is so much nicer.
I would happily pay for a subscription to be free of the annoying ads in this app.
Waiting for Weather
If you want an updated weather forecast on the weekends you’d better wait until Monday morning and just watch the live show. I checked this morning (Sunday) for a forecast and the latest one available was from 13 hours prior. Just for reference it’s approximately 8:30 on Sunday morning when I write this. The broadcast had been on from 6am to 8am. No morning forecast pushed to the app so those of us who don’t like to get up at ungodly hours can see the outlook.
