OpenWeather App Reviews

Easy to setup and use. I love the interface, very intuitive and displays information in a very comprehensive and coherent manner. I only have one issue - visibility ALWAYS shows as 6.2 miles regardless of location.

, but it needs more features. The forecasts are great, and great minimal design, but it should have a map. Great app though!

It’s refreshing to have a weather app with no ads. I wonder though how they make money.

Love the minimalist, easy to read interface! I hate all the ads in the major weather apps which slow their loading time and this is a great alternative to those. Like many others, the lack of a map keeps this from getting 5 stars. The easy to read hourly forecast and “precipitation within the next hour” features make the map less necessary though.

It’s not bad when you compare to other Weather Apps which are filled with tons of Ads and the interface is clean and simple similar to how Dark Sky was before Apple took over. The only feature lacking in this App is the Weather Radar it’s probably due to the cost of aggregating weather radar information across the U.S. so if your a person who doesn’t mind the lack of a Weather Radar this app might be for you.

During snow forecast, it doesn’t report inches of snow, it reports inches of rain. Not very useful. Also, the forecasts are kind of questionable up here in the Pacific Northwest.

Recently discovered this app and found out it is the source for some weather apps. Wish it had radar and precipitation push alerts along with AQI. Then I’d say it would be a pretty complete app. Seems pretty accurate so far.

Only thing missing is a map/radar. Otherwise wonderful app!

I love the simplicity and the clean ui, although it does lack radar (which open weather does have) other than that, it is perfect

I have compared OW head to head against Apple, TWC and many others. OW wins hands down. I could be outside, with Apple confidently telling me it is sunny and clear. OW in turn, accurately informs me that it is snowing. I have turned to Open Weather as the only reliable weather source. I know that weather forecasts are based upon science but those doing the predicting have zero control over the climate. That is the reason we can’t have perfect weather forecasts. However, OW shows that we CAN ex

I really like the uncluttered presentation, but do find the hourly precipitation and time font coloring and contrast compared with background makes it difficult to read - in either light or dark mode.

Open Weather is a pretty bare bones weather app. It seems to be accurate. It doesn’t seem like the developers are putting a lot of work into Open Weather judging by the change log. Updates are infrequent and the app lacks radar. I don’t know if it actually does notifications or not yet. It is free but so is Apple Weather. One review said that Open Weather was the new Dark Sky. That would be cool if true.

The OpenWeather website has a radar though... if the OpenWeather app had a radar, then this would be the perfect minimalist weather program. Apple's official weather app has so much visual garbage, and frustrating to use.
