I need a new weather app for my iPhone
Jun 11, 2018 21:51:02 #
As the title says I need a new iPhone weather app. I used Storm for about two years and loved it. It could display past, present and future radar, wind speed and direction, highs and lows, weather fronts earthquakes and more. About a month ago it was "upgraded" to Storm Radar" which does a poor job of doing any of the above. With the upgrade Storm can no longer access any information. I have tried several apps but they are all lacking. The best one I have found so far is "Weather Bug". What apps do the iPhone and/or iPad users on UHH use for their weather information?
Thanks for you responses in advance!!

Weather Live (upgraded version) & Radar Scope (upgraded version) best storm tacking I’ve ever used.

I like and use several. All have some different features;
Radarscope
Hi-Def Radar
NOAA Weather and NOAA Now
Hurricane HD
Wundermap and Wunderground
Weatherbug
Good Luck and let me know if you find a better one.

I use Weather Underground for local weather. It networks hundreds of thousands of private weather stations and gives the weather conditions in very fine detail.

YR.NO. is the weather app for the Norway meteorological institute. Don’t let the Norway dna turn you off. The app does more for local hometown USA weather than all of the others. It’s free, install it and you be the judge.

Radar Scope for Radar, Weather Bug adapts nicely if you change locations a lot. It can track your location (if you want it to) and give you currant weather. It also has plenty of advertising.
I am a storm spotter, so on iphone, Radar scope is the go to app. I use the paid version, but the free version is very good too.

I use Lex-18 on my Android... it is also available for i-phone. It is a free app (but you do have to put up with occasional ads). It puts a "temp" reading in the upper corner of my phone and gives me warnings automatically if they are issued by the National Weather Service. IT has current radar for the location, and the "entire world". It also has current readings, hourly and 10 day. It allows you to set various locations I have my "Home" Clearwater Florida (and it is down to the block), Oklahoma City (used to live there so I have that), Warminster PA, (have friends there), NYC (friends there) and a follow me mode that gives current radar and all information for your current location based on GPS... nice for road trips like driving from Clearwater Fl to Warminster PA. AND, it free so you can try it and if you don't like it, you can uninstall it.

I use weather.gov. That's the primary, and official, source on which all the others rely.

I find this doesn't work well when it is raining.
