What Weather App are you Using? Login/Join

I'm looking for a good iPhone weather app with clear animated radar. I live on the SE Florida coast so good radar is welcome. I don't mind paying for a good app to get away from ads or pop-ups. The default weather app with the iPhone isn't all too detailed, any good suggestions I can look into? Thanks


Regards, Will G.

I just use the weather channel, weather bug. And I also use lightningmaps.org to locate local storms.

Just the one that came on my IPhone7+, weather channel. If I want more detail I go to National Weather Service, (NOAA).

I too use TWC app, it seems to stay pretty well updated and I like the ease of access to 10-day and hourly forecasts.

I use MyRadar for a radar app. It seems very detailed, loads fast and you can zoom in and add layers easily.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

My Radar, though it suuuuuuuux on my iPad, and Storm, the replacement for Intellicast. If you want current weather and Terminal Area Forecasts (5 sm radius around a specific airport) then use AeroWeather...you can select "decoded" to translate from the aviation-speak jargon.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

WeatherBug, the paid version.

It was great on Android, just "ok" on iOS, IMO.

No apps, I just use the browser to look at different stations on www.wunderground.com

The options include a bunch of personally owned and very local "weather stations", which I compare to the normal one for the given zip code. There are two such stations in my mountain "neighborhood", which is as good as it gets just short of owning my own gear.

I've used Weather Underground for a long time on Android. It's worked well and I really like the widgets.

I've been using "Dark Sky" for a few days now, too. It's interesting. It claims to make super-accurate super-local rain predictions (as in, where you are it will start drizzling in 18 minutes and continue for 37 minutes before stopping). So far it seems pretty accurate.

Dark Sky. It has hyper-local forecasts, thus it can tell you based on your GPS coordinates when, for example, to the minute, rain will start at your location. It also has daily and weekly forecasts, custom notification settings, radar, etc. There is a free version without the notifications if you just want to look at the app.

I've seen it pop up a notification "Rain starting at your location in 13 minutes", and be correct within a minute.

MyRadar Pro, RadarScope, and Wunderground. All do it a bit differently but I use all 3. RadarScope is my favorite for radar detail, storm speed, etc. radar pro gives a good overall view, and Wunderground a good forecast.

My radar is usually the closest to accurate, though their wind readout animation is often a mixture of high and low altitude winds, and often confusing or just plain wrong.

I use AccuWeather and it is very accurate and the radar is very good.

If you like lots of info and to customize try eWeather HD . https://tinyurl.com/y83vxbqo .It costs but is worth it in my opinion.



I'm alright it's the rest of the world that's all screwed up!
