The venerable U.S. weather app Wx, named a 2009 Mac Gem by Macworld magazine, is now available for iPad Wx displays current conditions, forecasts, alerts, and radar for U.S. locations using high fidelity XML data ...
This used to be a go to app but since they deleted the landscape mode it s near useless The developers lost interest in the app and have orphaned it     Sad flitetym
They removed landscape mode capabilities in early October I have been waiting since that time for them to restore the landscape functionality to the app finally gave up and deleted the app and am now looking for a better solution I have to say these developers must be REALLY lost if they can t even restore previous functionality to the app Either way I think that lack of landscape mode is information that a prospective buyer should be made aware of         Finally deleted the app J/H
I have been a happy user from the beginning but if landscape mode does not return soon I m deleting the app Also I think it is very improper to remove this basic functionality and not inform the user before they update What nerve     No landscape mode Demnoir56
what dick said why won t it go into landscape mode for ipad             forgot something gjdksjy
Never understand why an update comes along to apps and the developer drops landscape mode It is a necessity for the iPad Pro             Please return landscape mode to the app Dick R
A update to 3 0 to support iOS 10 that doesn t have a landscape mode on the iPad Pro Hello You people ever heard of a iPad Pro Keyboard or Logitech Create Zero Stars ZERO     Seriously NoGoodName
I would like to see landscape capability returned         Functional but Portrait only Ed_94536
An upgrade in weather service servers once killed the functionality of this great app the developer had to scramble for weeks to restore it Now the latest IOS is working its magic It remains a mystery to me why this can never be anticipated and addressed beforehand I guess its back to the old Forecast app again Content and functionality over jellybean graphics and candypants wearing millenial marketeer aesthetics anyday thanks much As in eat MY shorts o k     New IOS wrecks Wx DanaosX
Wx for iPad app does not work on my iPad Pro using the latest beta iOS It launches but will not allow me to add any locations It allows me to choose a location from the map but won t allow the choosing of any local stations The Use this location link remains greyed out disfunctional I have no problem with the iPhone version using the same iOS It works fine The Star rating pertains only to this problem The app is great when it works     Doesn t work Radical Grace
One of the things I like most about this app is the number of maps that are available that offer a lot of information besides a radar picture As a pilot this bigger picture information is important to me There are a few things I would like to see added to the app mainly a way to change the units This is becoming one of my most used weather apps that I use in conjunction with one another                 One of the more detailed weather apps I ve seen JReekes
The developer has made some good adjustments to the app s new GUI with this minor release that aspect of the app is now quite usable However there is still no way to get the good local NOAA forecasts only the forecasts for their specific observation stations This is not at all useful in areas with highly varying microclimates For some users this may not matter in which case this is a good four or five star app For users in mountainous terrain however or for those on the waterfront this app remains far less useful than it was before             Better Erik M-H
This used to be my favorite weather app Unfortunately the latest update replaced an easy to read appearance with a very harsh black on white scheme think typewritten text on white paper It s too harsh and jarring to be readable I look forward to an added option to restore a less painful appearance         Used to be great now too hard on the eyes VonTrousers
Thank you for fixing the text forecast format That is the first thing I look at for local wx forecast Only thing I don t like is the bland white background                 Thanks eepisski
I have 4 or 5 weather apps on my phone at any one time The weather in my area is changeable a small wind shift can drop temperatures by 10 So I check early and often kind of thing Of all the apps I own WX is the most reliable and complete Its Pro section offers 10 distinct seven day forecast graphs covering temperature precipitation wind direction and speed humidity and cloud cover Localized to the nearest NWS station the data are complete and highly reliable The precipitation models consistently beat all the others possibly excepting Dark Sky Likewise the Wind Shift plot is dead on I suppose that the home screen is not the most attracting landing spot It certainly doesn t look like most other iOS7 apps but it s easy to read and just like the Summary screen give me the information I want at a glance Well worth owning                     Reliable and Complete Frankns
Hate the all white background intensely All white is hard on the eyes and for me much more difficult to read Please at least give us the choice of background color Otherwise will have to find new weather app     Background changed to all white barks55
Great weather app One of the best for weather The new update is really good                     Great Weather App Jims49
This app provides me with more consistently accurate forecasts for my location than any other app that I ve tried I m glad the developers have continued to keep it up to date even as the NWS services keep changing because I d hate to have to go without it                     My favorite weather app Windcrier
App stopped downloading the written forecast     Currently not working rr20101212
My iPad mini seems to go to sleep on the dock and the app does not include the current time I need an app for a nightstand weather station so I know what I m up against when I get up before dawn to exercise If you don t need to know what time it is and having to wake your iPad up to see the current conditions is not a deal breaker then this may be the app for you One minor third issue that would be nice would be a red display option Blue light messes with ones ability to sleep         Sleeps on the dock and no current time Lost in space too
Wx stopped working It doesn t fetch data     No Longer Works coosonian
A very good app Does what it says it will do Lots of information no problems                 A great app Randek
Looks pretty but crashes when trying to add any location I guess if I lived in Cupertino it might be O K But if you want to see weather anywhere else your out of luck How do I get my 4 99 back     App crashes Stay Away Wired40
The only way to manually refresh is to kill the app then reopen This would be a five star but to have to do this just to refresh is nuts Need a refresh button on the iPhone and iPad versions just like the desktop version I would have held off if I knew this before my purchase of the iPhone and iPad versions Wait for an update on this before you spend the money             Needs refresh button thegrants82
i like the simplicity and information rich character of this weather app                     my favorite weather app fxt44
Program is working again Was a 4 5 star program Now it simply will not open after closing program in background rebooting iPad etc                 EDITED Working Again garysteven
No longer works Continues shutting down immediately after opening     Arizona User FelinoErse
Great app but the app keeps crashing when opened Reinstalled and restarted iPad 3 and it continues to crash         Crashing problem Lewis Cronis
On the new iPad 3 the maps are tiny and they don t scale and they can t be resized If the app was updated for the new iPad I d have given it 4 stars         Needs to be updated for the retina display OptPhD
This is one of the better weather apps it is very complete with weather maps and US locations but not worldwide locations although these locations such as Europe can be viewed on the map One just can not retrieve the weather from anything but US locations I hope they add other locations in the future Right now it is all about the US so I hope they update in the future Still this is a great looking and fun weather app for US weather                     Real Good Stormswatch
Great app Thanks for putting this together it is exactly what I was looking for The NWS NOAA is the best and most accurate information and this app doesn t junk it up with unnecessary graphics and animations I have two requests 1 The wind arrows should point where the wind is from not where it is going I m in aviation this is the norm in my field It s also how the data is represented on the NWS web site I understand others might like it as it currently is perhaps a user selectable option 2 Could we hide reorder the graphs in the pro section Those are minor quibbles of course Still five stars                     Fast accurate Best WX app out there Fellow Flyer
Looks like it is now working I just updated to iOS5 so I will give it back it s good rating Worked great before this last update Now doesn t seem to be able to get updates                     Update broke it Puzzled user2
I fly small General Aviation airplanes as an instructor and occasional business which is construction so that means spring and summer flights mostly and Wx is THE issue for well for everything EVERYTHING Ok I ll calm down this app is now on my home screen and it sits between Radar Scope and Foreflight It s a nice concise and clean snapshot of the present Wx and you can add as many locations as you want plus maps GOES basic Doppler reflectivity clouds infrared a good sample of what NOAA has to offer This app is a great supplemental weather tool and it s not trying to be your one stop shop for a Wx product because true Wx freaks like myself know that you can never have too much information or too many weather apps 2 cents for what it s worth                 Works great for a quick at a glance update flyinghatchet
I ve been using the desktop version for a few years and the iPad version is now my general weather iPad app of choice It s reliable and the developer is very responsive                     My general weather iPad app of choice astroclubguy
Coming on the heels of some major storms around here I am absolutely thrilled about this latest update Changing to county based alerts allows me to pick up areas that I couldn t before Also have to say that the developer is fantastic you have a question you send an email and it s quickly addressed Even when I inquired after a feature that turned out not to be practical it was explained why it couldn t be implemented rather than simply being told no Money is very tight for me but I do not regret what I spent on this more than reasonable for everything that it does Well worth it                     Best Weather App On iTunes Kate.M.
This app is convenient for getting weather conditions and forecasts at multiple sites in US and looking at National Trends with downloaded maps However for local weather look at free apps in your area from local TV stations or other sources before you spend the money The radar map in Wx does not zoom in so the resolution for your specific location is limited             Radar map does not zoom Look at free apps for your area first HiramGuy
Really useful app that may fill the void for a prosumer weather app for the ipad This app is way ahead of all the other offerings Love the ability to web clip maps from all corners of the internet i added clear sky astronomy chart for my city 2 suggestions pinch to zoom on the maps and the ability to use gif loops would make it highly useful This is already one of my favorites highly recommended Worth the price Foster2                     Great app fosterfoster
Finally an app worth the purchase price Nicely done Ken Florian                     Excellent app Ken Florian
The best of them BUT extend radar range to include offshore Pacific Ocean please radar coverage of the Pacific THAT is where our weather usually comes from For inland users I rate this 5 for WestCoast users it needs an update extending radar range so 4 stars and waiting                 My favorite I ve tried many But needs radar update vi of NorthernCalif.
By far the best of the crop of current iPhone weather apps for the casual meteorologist Nice combination of NWS detailed forecasts and observations in a pretty package and the only app I know of which will produce meteograms Still missing though is any real customization it would be nice to choose what is plotted and please please include an option for metric units in the next update But on the whole great app keep it up                     Genuinely useful Benjamin Sanderson
Nice looking weather station in landscape mode Graphics for radar are probably the worst of any of the weather apps out there Also they can not be resized zoomed in or out Annoying that in portrait mode a quarter of the screen is taken up by locations bar which cannot be collapsed unless you go to landscape mode         So so Bill2011
Add an indicator to show pressure rising and falling pressure change over time it is the change that is interesting more than the current pressure Add the ability to zoom in and our on NOAA maps ie pinch                 Pressure fredreinrag
I like weather apps and have tried several This is the best wx app I ve seen so far Grade A                     My 1 weather app Jweinberg
This is the best weather app in the store And it s certainly not difficult to set up In fact take a little time and you ll enjoy the exceptional options and graphics while you choose where to get your information from No other weather app comes close To the developer GREAT JOB                     This is fantastic kenolin
Great application Lots of useful information at a glance I like the flexibility and configuration options Contrary to an earlier comment it s easy to set up new locations and name them whatever you want Easily the best weather application of the dozen or so that I have tried previously                     My favorite weather app so far ToolGuy
There isn t any way to set up your location A waste of money Stay clear of this frustrating App     Not User Friendly BR HOG
Don t know what the previous versions were like but this one s perfect for me Fast no glitz and great location options                     Wx for iPad bgoodeve
Weatherbug is 8 times as useful at 1 4 the price I haven t used the Mac version which may be good this is not No radar zoom Lame Odd navigation Unappealing fonts Needs total rewrite     Needs serious work UnclePax
Very cool interface clean design Well worth it                     Very Cool F2959

The app looks good and I like all of the information it delivers The developer was very helpful in tracking down an unusual problem with the DNS servers from my ISP Comcast                 Nice when it works
What I look for in a weather app is a more indepth understanding of whats going on Wx does not provide that It gives thorough forecasts and coollooking gauges for displaying current conditions and a nice set of maps Its interface is clean The Pro Forecast a line chart of predicted upcoming temperatures is nifty But thats it The app includes a list of predefined NWS maps but could go much further in that direction If it did I would rate it more highly How about a link to a map that shows a radarenhanced or weather mapenhanced satellite loop I actually prefer the AccuWeather pro app for iPad even though it has unsophisticated maps           OK but not enough to it
First it needs the ability to choose a default location I also wish it had more detail about forecasts I bought this based on ratings hoping to replace Weatherbug which just added ads But I still use Weatherbug for the detailed information it provides Not sure this app is much improvement over the free ones out there           Needs some features
This app is convenient for getting weather conditions and forecasts at multiple sites in US and looking at National Trends with downloaded maps However for local weather look at free apps in your area from local TV stations or other sources before you spend the money The radar map in Wx does not zoom in so the resolution for your specific location is limited           Radar map does not zoom Look at free apps for your area first

I agree with the other reviewers the change to all white is horrible After having used WX weather app both desktop and iOS version for years the app gets deleted     Went from best to Gets deleted
Nice looking weather station in landscape mode Graphics for radar are probably the worst of any of the weather apps out there Also they can not be resized zoomed in or out Annoying that in portrait mode a quarter of the screen is taken up by locations bar which cannot be collapsed unless you go to landscape mode        So so

So tired of all the webbased weather sites finally an app that shows me exactly what I want to know in a clean responsive interface Great job                 Excellent nononsense weather app
It is great to see the best weather app for Mac now on the iPad Wx is fast stable and easy to add and save current and new locations Developer support is outstanding It has a simple and elegant interface just the weather thank you very much                 Best weather app for iPad
No hourly forecast No local radar I just want my city not the entire geographic region Adding a new location is not simple you have to choose radar stations and stuff near you and I dont know if one is a better choice than another Waste of 4 as adsaturated as it is the free TWC app gives me more useful information     Not very useful
There isnt any way to set up your location A waste of money Stay clear of this frustrating App     Not User Friendly

Thank you for fixing the text forecast format That is the first thing I look at for local wx forecast Only thing I dont like is the bland white background              Thanks
OK I bit I am a meteorologist working in Greenland and while I can find everything and more than I need for free on the internet this APP does have some nice aspects The best being the quick access bar on the left I have been able to add some old DIFAX charts as images which I really likeold school stuff The one real big thing I am disappointed about it not being able to ZOOM into the imagesespecially the satellite Come on One of the greatest things about the iPad is the two finger zoom Also you have looping on the radar but not satellite Come on Hopefully these are on the way with the addition of adding some different RADAR images One more thingadd a way to request TAFMETAR data A simple ADDS type request format would be great And hopefully someday go more international Overall a nice APP              OK even Nicebut needs more
I fly small General Aviation airplanes as an instructor and occasional business which is construction so that means spring and summer flights mostly and Wx is THE issue for well for everything EVERYTHING Ok Ill calm down this app is now on my home screen and it sits between Radar Scope and Foreflight Its a nice concise and clean snapshot of the present Wx and you can add as many locations as you want plus maps GOES basic Doppler reflectivity cloudsinfrared a good sample of what NOAA has to offer This app is a great supplemental weather tool and its not trying to be your onestop shop for a Wx product because true Wx freaks like myself know that you can never have too much information or too many weather apps 2 cents for what its worth              Works great for a quick ataglance update
On the new iPad 3 the maps are tiny and they dont scale and they cant be resized If the app was updated for the new iPad Id have given it 4 stars        Needs to be updated for the retina display
Weatherbug is 8 times as useful at 14 the price I havent used the Mac version which may be good this is not No radar zoom Lame Odd navigation Unappealing fonts Needs total rewrite     Needs serious work
App stopped downloading the written forecast     Currently not working
I have all three versions iPad iPhone and Mac The iPhone version STILL hasnt been updated for the larger screen after what18 months Also the text forecasts on all three versions have been broken for the last month or so It was a good app but in this ecosystem apps require maintenance every so often to keep up with the changes and this developer needs to get with the program        These guys are asleep at the switch
Im an over the road trucker and I downloaded this app because I wanted to save the time and hassle of cranking up my laptop every time I go to NOAAs weather site not very ipad friendly Unfortunately the information provided by Wx is woefully inadequate for any kind of serious planning that requires detailed information about the weather I created locations for some of the nastier winter driving spots I travel on a weekly basis What I got was a picture of either rain or snow and a single temperature reading In roughly the same amount of space at NOAAs website I was told when it would be snowing at which elevations and for how long as well as projected total snowfall It also gave me projected temperatures at various elevations throughout the day This info was available for 7 days If you want this kind of detailed weather info for planning purposes then go to NOAA or your state Dept of Trans trip planning page If all you need to know is whether to grab an umbrella as you walk out the door or if itll be rainy or sunny this weekend this looks like a great app        Superficial Info
Great app but the app keeps crashing when opened Reinstalled and restarted iPad 3 and it continues to crash        Crashing problem
Great weather app One of the best for weather The new update is really good                 Great Weather App
Looks pretty but crashes when trying to add any location I guess if I lived in Cupertino it might be OK But if you want to see weather anywhere else your out of luck How do I get my 499 back     App crashes Stay Away
The only way to manually refresh is to kill the app then reopen This would be a five star but to have to do this just to refresh is nuts Need a refresh button on the iPhone and iPad versions just like the desktop version I would have held off if I knew this before my purchase of the iPhone and iPad versions Wait for an update on this before you spend the money           Needs refresh button

I like weather apps and have tried several This is the best wx app Ive seen so far Grade A                 My 1 weather app
Wx stopped working It doesnt fetch data     No Longer Works
Hate the all white background intensely All white is hard on the eyes and for me much more difficult to read Please at least give us the choice of background color Otherwise will have to find new weather app     Background changed to all white
