Universal [BETA] Today Weather - A beautiful weather forecast app

[thotran7989]

Can I make a suggestion?

I'd recommend changing to app icon to something weather related. Clouds, a sun, etc.

Current icon is the sun

Yes, please...the orange squiggle doesn't really convey "weather app"!

Nice! Might have to try that one out though I've never heard of those providers. Today Weather allows you to switch between the big ones...Weather Underground, Dark Sky, Weather.com and Accuweather.com. It's a very nice feature since different providers have varying accuracy depending on location. In my area, Weather Underground is one of the most accurate, while Dark Sky is one of the least.

True True the sources that Today Weather uses are more common and reliable probably.

I've now also tested out the Today Weather beta as well. UI wise it's really nice and the option to switch between weather sources is really good! My feedback can be found below.

• The lack of chance of rain per hour and day in both mm and %

• The lack of a widget is a big thing for me. I tend to use my current weather widgets more then the app(s). I would like to see the following features within the widget/app: 1) overview of upcoming hours and 5 or so days with both temperature and rain chance (mm+%) 2) chance of rain per hour and day in both mm and %. 3) see a small rain bar as is now in the app (chance of rain) with mm/% rain. 4) have the option to switch between locations from within the widget

• Next 24 hour doesn't show any rain icon, only clouds while then chance of rain does show an increase of rain of more then 0% see also screenshot below. The source I'm currently using is Weather Underground and my location is Dordrecht, the Netherlands

You are welcome

- I see the percentage chance shows for both days and upcoming hours. I hope you can also add mm of rain as well besides percentage.
- Great that a widget will be added in next build. When will that be? Weeks/Months?
- I'm still checking which one works best for my region. I do know there was quite some discussion about quality of weather sources in the general Weather app/widget topic and I know for the US there is this site as well to see which services is most accurate for your region. Unfortunately that doesn't apply for people such as me from Europe (the Netherlands). Although I did found this Climendo app today which says that they can determine which weather source is most accurate for my region and then uses that as a source for my weather.

I did notice that the temperature currently doesn't show in the app for the upcoming days if you select any of the weather sources. I've tried them all.

Would it be better to add th ability to select data sources?

In Norway, I trust nothing but Yr.no, in the UK the met office is generally more reliable than WU but is a pain to get.

Any more spots left to test?

Any chance of a Watch app someday?

 

[thotran7989]

New version:
- Support widgets.
- Bug fixes.

We will support Yr.no data source on next build

The temperature currently still doesn't show in the updated app for the upcoming days if you select any of the weather sources. I've tried them all.

Will there be an option to get no ads (paid version once?)?
The widget looks nice but would love to see upcoming days as well + mm rain for both today and upcoming days.

I just downloaded Today Weather from the app store.

Will landscape mode (iPad) be supported in a future version?

It looks like there will be a subscription model.

I think that’s not the app we’re talking about in this thread? It hasn’t left beta yet

 

[harlenmm77]

Yes it has. It’s available in the App Store.

 

[pacorob]

I've noticed it as well that the app in the App Store doesn't have the prices but the beta app does have them.

Other then that I still hope that the below things are implemented at one point:
* show amount of rain mm for upcoming hours/days aside of % of rain (widget + app)
* show temperature upcoming days (widget + app)
* show minute by minute rain forecast in widget (optional)
* show upcoming days weather in widget as well

If all of the above would be implemented I would switch to your app/widget get a subscription (for a lifetime) and I could stop with using multiple weather widgets (e.g. now BeWeather 2, Buienalarm, Partly Sunny, Widget weather).

 

[ct2k7]

Yes it has. It’s available in the App Store.

Ah it was released after I had checked

 

[JNGold]

Just installed the app and it's missing one thing that I would like to request. The widget should show a 4 or 5 day forecast in place of the hourly update. If possible, have this option be user selectable.
