Top Pcmac Reviews

Not as good as their older weather app

By Lmc56 (Pcmac user)

I used the this app weather app for many years. A year or so ago it started bugging me to upgrade to their full news+weather app. But I liked the weather app so much I put up with and ignored their prompt every day. Recently the old app stopped working so I gave this new one a try. Meh. Not as concise and useable as the old one. Lots more scrolling required to see info that was right up front before (like 10 day forecast). Horizontal scrolling (on hourly, for example) shows less data at a time than old vertical scrolling). MANY more ads interspersed with the data, along with new layout and color scheme, make it harder to pick out the data at a glance. I'll be looking for a better weather app. Update: I gave it a month to see if it's just my reaction to change. No, the new app just isn't as good, for the reasons I listed above. Just not as quick, easy, and clear as the old one. Too much scrolling, too much clutter. I find that I just don't use it nearly as much as the old one because it's just not that good. Streamline the new one to be more like the old one, and I'll give it another try.
Where is “Set your start screen?”

By SusICap (Pcmac user)

Just downloaded the app. Had read reviews here, where the developer wrote that you can set your start screen so the app “feels like a weather app,” however, clicking on the this app on the top left does NOT bring up a menu that lists that as an option (on ios- iPhone). Am I missing something, or has that feature been taken away? Hoping it’s the former, as I liked the older weather app; it’s the main reason I downloaded this news app. If there’s no option anymore to set your home screen, making it necessary to wade through a lot of other items just to navigate to what I really want to see, then I question whether I have use for it. Have read the FAQ for the answer to this question and could not find an answer. Might anyone please help?
Works well overall

By Cleo kitchen (Pcmac user)

I really liked the old weather app, but I’ve adjusted to the new one. It’s a little less intuitive but the information is reliable and mostly correct. The app has quirks like sometimes showing you 2 cities or getting the hourly forecast stuck on the last time you opened the app. Annoying, but overall it’s good.
Works just ok

By Bill-l (Pcmac user)

I liked the old version but I understand that it could not be updated for the new iOS. However the new version has problems with the weather. The scrolling is very jerky if you change location when it changes the map. Also when you change location the hourly forecast does not change. Try the winter forecast in Boston and Orlando. It will show the same hourly forecast for both. It also does not update the hourly forecast if you reopen it later in the day. The only way around this is to completely terminate the app not just close it.
