The best

This is literally the only weather app on the App Store worth anything. Simple and concise information, and very well designed.

Great but not accurate

The app itself is great, but the weather information is not accurate.

Beautiful widget!!

Love the widget. Perfect implementation of the new feature. It could use some added info like multiple locations, current location, or hourly forecast. But other than that fantastic!!!

Forecast +

Beautiful widget. Really wish it was location based. If that is possible and implemented this will be a 5 star perfect widget! Good job peeps!

Great!

Other than not syncing with your current location, this app is perfect. Fits with the notification bar seamlessly. Clean.

Very nice! Please add feels like temperature

Im excited to use this widget--its what ios weather should look like! But in my area we really need to know the feels like temperature. Hope this feature can be added soon--maybe an option to show feels like instead of humidity? Thanks!

Could it be location based please??

That would be very useful.

Add feels like!!!

Pleassseeee add feels like!! Wind, humidity and all that affects greatly how much cloth I should actually wear!!!

great weather widget

Nice looking widget. Current location would make it perfect.

Nice idea

Good design and layout but temperatures not accurate.

Important function missing

Great widget, Ill give you 5 stars as soon as you create a possibility to display the forecast for the rest of the day.

DO NOT BUY: Incorrect temps; complete lack of customer support

At first glance, this little app - which does only one task: show the current weather and five-day forecast in Notification Center - struck me as way cool. To display just the current weather, it uses only a wee bit of space. You can tap to take a quick look at a five-day forecast, then tap to close it. So far, so good. However: the current temperature is almost always wrong, often off by several degrees. The forecast high for the day, displayed at the right of the current weather line, is almost always identical to the CURRENT temp, and is wildly different from the ACTUAL forecast high. Further, the forecast high on the current weather line almost never agrees with the forecast high for the day in the five-day forecast weather line. SO, there seems to be two errors happening here. First: wherever this app pulls its temp information from: the source service is wildly inaccurate. Second: information in the app itself is contradictory - as evidenced in two completely different points of info about the current day forecast high. Ive triple-checked the location that I added to this app, and it is correct. Even if it was wrong: it wouldnt explain the presence of conflicting information for forecast high for the current day. I could have forgiven the developer for this, hoping it was just birthing pains -- but: they have been ignoring their users on Twitter for the past 6 days; and two very polite emails reporting the problems to them have not had the courtesy of a reply. Most legit developers at least have auto-replies in place, which they can use to inform the recipient how long it would take to receive a substantive reply; this developer hasnt bothered to do that. I work for an app developer providing customer support; I do not write bad reviews lightly; but I felt I had to warn other users about the errors in this app, AND the complete absence of customer support. Its not an expensive app, but why spend even $0.99 on an unsupported, inaccurate piece of junk?

Needs hourly forecast

Great app, just wish it showed the hourly forecast. Feels like temp would be nice as well

Minimalistic yet functional

Updated: -temperature update is slow. -accuracy is another issue here. The current, high & low temperatures are completely wrong. Maybe you should update your weather data source. Whats good is it in the widget give you wrong data !!! Great little widget. So much better than Apple default app. Please add the following: 1. Feel like temperature. I believe you do have space in the middle. 2. Customize how often the widget update the temperature. Ex: every 3 hrs

Great UI but inaccurate information.

The temperature shown is inaccurate. Please fix this!

Slow to refresh, temperature wrong

App hasnt refreshed in 30 minutes. Temperature is off by 7 degrees Celsius. No hourly forecast. Uninstalled. Not worth the purchase.

Could be better

Could be better with location services but works decently well as a widget

Weather wrong

Looks great but weather is wrong... No point of having a weather app that doesnt show you the right weather for your region. Also, avaniolabs doesnt care to answer peoples questions on Twitter.

If I could change one thing…

I love the way that this app looks in the Notification Center. I find it more useful at a quick glance than the built-in weather report with iOS 8. I dont understand the "max and min" we go out on the right-hand side, but the thing that frustrates me the most is the fact that you cant look up the high and low temperature for the current day! I can see the forecast high for the next five days, but not the date and Im trying to plan. As far as accuracy goes, its the weather… Its never going to be perfect, but it seems to be close enough for my purposes. Also,if they wanted to get some bonus marks they could include wind data. The way I envision it, the widget would look identical, but wind speed and direction would be available by tapping the temperature display area.The information could just toggle back-and-forth so that it doesnt take up any more space. Thats my two cents.

Very ok

All that you need for weather info. It does not use location services and the weather is precise.
