Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar for Negative User Reviews
✓ Forecast good; software mehThe forecasting generally is quite good, with a very good, customizable UI; and, for a fee the same app runs on the Mac. But, (1) the radar runs fine on the Mac but never ever runs well, if at all, on the iPhone (12 running 14.5.1) or the iPad (Air 3 running 14.5.1); and, (2) the watch app is attractive but useless because its refresh process is glacially slow, thus the watch face temperature is never accurate. Often you have to open the app, hard press to refresh, then wait . . . wait . . . é voila, current data..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Can’t use app AT ALL w/o PremiumFormer Premium subscriber — had to cut costs for a little while. Still, I kept the app on my phone, and would now like to revisit/reevaluate it to determine whether or not it’s worth resubscribing to. Problem is: the app won’t let me see ANYTHING without a premium subscription. An ad-supported interface for “free” users would be one thing, but not being able to access the app at all without paying? Forecast Bar’s really working against itself by wasting a huge opportunity to show users what the app has to offer.🚮.Version: 8.2.3
✓ It's not freeWhy can't they say it a trial instead of free app. I don't mind the price but they have to be honest about it..Version: 3.2
✓ Has Potential / Falls ShortThe iOS version has potential but the GUI layout is a little awkward compared to both the other available options and the macOS and tvOS versions. It’s also buggy. The app was reluctant to change locations, agonizingly slow when it did, and often required restarts on both my iPhone and iPad. And the subscription levels are very expensive, especially because you need a separate subscription for your desktop and iOS versions. Strangely, however, the tvOS version is a one time purchase at $3.99. While its GUI is also a little awkward and occasionally inconsistent, it is at least reasonably priced. If they fix the bugs which cause lag and give it a reasonable pricing structure (one time fee preferred), I’d definitely use it. Until then, it’s not worth the significant cost..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Absolute RubbishUnusable. I have gone into settings and changed the language and units and it just goes back to US settings..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Ouch subscription basedUnfortunately you need to pay to get anything from this app..Version: 3.1
✓ Australia pays more doesnt get full optionsAgree with other reviewer- tired of Aussies having to pay more on the app store for apps that are USA centric- make it cheaper guys and we might buy it. Then again, unless your app syncs into the bureau of meteorology then the forecasts arent that overly accurate in our part of the world- i must say i did use this in a trial period and it 'looked' good- but temps showed different to other aussie apps..Version: 3.1
✓ Subscription serviceThis is an ongoing subscription service with limited accuracy & features outside the USA. Deleted..Version: 3.1
✓ Doesn’t workApp says I need a silver subscription to get widgets. I bought a silver subscription. I still don’t have widgets. I have no idea how to fix this..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Nice but DeceivingVery nice weather app , but it's very deceiving. I got it free from a download of the day website and worked awesome for a couple of days until the new update on Oct, 22. Now after the new update it won't work now because it wants me to buy it. That really sucks. Another app with a hidden secret and agenda! DELETE!!.Version: 3.2
✓ Hidden Subscription CostAfter using app and liking how it works it surprise forces you to buy a subscription. I choose to delete apps that do that..Version: 3.1
✓ Needs more testingGetting ‘missing data’ a lot on the watch middle complication. In app purchase trial ended. Tried hitting premium trial. Nothing happens..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Bait & switch appAfter a few days of use the app switches to a subscription based model. This needs to be stated up front .... DELETED app!.Version: 3.1
✓ False advertisingI got this app on a special. It was "free" but it is a time limited demo. The app is nice but I don't like being deceived. A free app should be free. This is a demo..Version: 3.2.1
✓ I would give it five stars ifThere’s a problem with the widgets when you update the app the widgets don’t show up the the shop a blank screen and when you turn your phone off and on again sometimes the widgets don’t show up and I’ll be at them and they still don’t show up please fix it would it need a lot of fixing in this app and then it would get five stars I got it just for the widgets and they don’t all work all the time.Version: 7.1.1
✓ Changed my subscription!I paid for the full subscription which gave me access to all the layers on the map. A new update and feature set now requires me to pay for an additional subscription to get access to the layers I initially had! REFUND ME PLEASE!.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Best new weather app .... BUT.....not freeware.Fantastic looking new weather app. Matching great widget "that's configurable !!!" Free preview. Then it shuts down and requires $$$. Was expecting an ad version..Version: 3.1
✓ Subscription basedThe 'included' or 'not included' settings appeared to have no effect, and I noticed that I had been automatically subscribed for a trial period, which was not made clear on the App Store page. I'd rather own my apps outright, so I deleted this within minutes and bought Dark Skies. Nic.Version: 3.2.1
✓ InaccurateIt is so difficult finding a weather app that doesn't include my small town with the closest major city. I have no choice but to select the city which is a half hour drive away and then I get completely inaccurate weather notifications. I went to see what time a storm was starting the other day and Forecast Bar said 0% chance of rain for the next week. Well, any other app said differently and it rained steady for two days. So annoyed I already paid for it on my Apple TV but at least I can save my money and not subscribe on my phone and Mac..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Don't buy if you live in AustraliaWe pay more in Australia then America & we get less?. There's limited of stuff on here for Australia users,only good in USA.Version: 3.2
✓ Ripped offThere was no mention of a subscription when I first purchased this app. Now I have to pay to continue to use..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Worthless for actual weather.The app looks very good and there are tons of customization options. Unfortunately, the weather conditions and forecast are almost always completely wrong. Once there was a snow storm outside and the app was reporting sunny weather. The temperature is usually off by 2-5C. When comparing the information with other 4 or 5 apps, this one is the one that seems to be wrong. I contacted the developer and they told me that a choice of different weather providers would be available, but so far no luck. So, pretty but useless..Version: 4.0.1
✓ WidgetsWish there was a small lockscreen widget that showed the current temp and perhaps also the hi/low for the day. The data point widget shows humidity which really is not useful to me. Would like a widget like that one with the current temp. Don’t like that the watch widget is now in color. The temp is white which is great but the hi/low temps are in color and there isn’t enough contrast against and they are so small, they are impossible to read. Wish the numbers were all white so they are more easily readable..Version: 8.5.2
✓ Une version en français SVPEn 2018 c’est un peu surprenant que l’application ne soit pas régionalisé. Et ne supporte que l’anglais de manière complète..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Forecast bar lives in a dream world...... where people actually want to pay a subscription fee for a weather app! A WEATHER APP! Come on guys. Totally ridiculous.Version: 3.1
✓ Trial version then zero informationI like the app and the watch complications. After a week it blocked ALL information and functionality. Not clear at all that this is a trial only. The message Trial ended and subscription Ad is all I see now. Why not a model with some basic services with an upgrade option. Now I feel like they scammed me and in not sure I want to send them my money. Similar reviews from others now that I look. Only option now is to delete this app and move on to one of the other 50 or so weather apps..Version: 8.5.3
✓ Widget does not reflect the app settingsI like the app a lot for many reasons. One of the very useful features is that it allows you to choose your radar. The Dark Sky is pretty accurate for my area so I choose that one. However, the widget still defaults to the Weather Company on iPad, which makes the widget feature very useless no matter how versatile it is. Can the developers look into this issue please? Otherwise, the app is a five star app..Version: 8.2.3
✓ Going down hillThis used to be an elegant and simple app. Now you've. added a ton of premium content that just makes it necessary to close and reopen almost every time I use it. You have me looking for a replacement. How about rather than trying to add levels of payment you focus on not breaking things for your already paying customers..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Great app with some glaring issuesThis app is visually the best. It takes the data from Dark Sky and then outs it in an incredibly simple yet customizable package. Two significant issues; 1. Radar is very slow to load and 2. Alerts don't work; you get alerts but when you open them they always say Null. Fix these issues and this is the best weather app, until then it makes it difficult to use..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Basics: great. Extras: poor.The app does what it’s supposed to do on the iPhone and iPad. In fact it does so a skosh better than most other apps of its kind. A clean and customizable interface along with little “above and beyond” items (like the temperature on the app icon) make it a pleasure to use in the phone. It’s a bit annoying that the icon looks like its for a water intake tracking app (see: just about every water intake tracking app in the store; their stickers icon would be better) but that’s minor. Tha Apple Watch is a different story. I’m a paid (annual) Full Access + Watch subscriber but the watch app doesn’t even show up. I’ve written to the dev multiple times and received no response at all. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt. An app that doesn’t give what you paid for, and a dev that won’t even respond to requests for support doesn’t merit a good rating, even when the basics of the app are fine..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Thanks but no thanksElegant but expensive. Not a fan of the yearly fee model. Annoying and soon to be deleted..Version: 3.1
✓ Reminders stuck on (null)I have tried setting different default lists with overdue and upcoming reminders and only getting null. 5 stars if u can fix asap.Version: 3.4
✓ LostIf you are looking for a weather app that cannot determine where you are, and is supported by developers who don't answer email when you inform them of the bugs, then this is the app for you. The Mac version may be good, but I do not feel the least bit inclined to find out. A dismal offering, not worth buying..Version: 1.2
✓ DécevantPas très précis, franchement décevant, besoin de sérieux correctifs..Version: 8.1.3
✓ No working Celsius on the watch appApart from the lack of celsius readings on the watch (setting is there but broken) this is the best of 10 that I’ve tried -other than the most expensive apps. You can choose The Weather Companies’s data which is the best by far in Alberta. Reasonably priced, wonderful phone app and very accurate..Version: 5.6.2
✓ Best weather app but…I'm a big fan of weather apps and have used many over the years. My job demands accurate weather reports. I find this app to be the best I've ever used for so many reasons. Soon as it prompted me for a subscription I was immediately disappointed. Why can't you just charge a flat 1 time fee for the app and I would oblige, within reason. So looks like I'm back to the hunt for another app. It's not that the subscription fee is expensive, I'm just not a fan of these types of apps that have recurring fees..Version: 3.1
✓ Disappointed, buyer beware, questionable customer supportDownloaded app with 7 day free trial. Apple Watch app not working on my series 4 watch. Contacted support and they responded saying that the watch only works with the paid version and asked if I was still on my free trial. I responded right away, but haven’t received a response. Emailed two more times, still waiting for a response or a resolution, been at least 3 days now. Going to let the free trial expire and will not purchase. Be aware before you spend anything, you may be as disappointed as me..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Good overall appGood overall weather app and customizable with proper subscription tier. Weather alerts notifications speed can use some work. They are definitely slower than other apps. I bought subscription for MAC OS platform which indicated cross device subscription. Worked for a while on iPhone and iPad but now when I open app it brings me to subscription screen. Hmmmm!.Version: 8.2.3
✓ 'Feels like' calculation needs workNice app but the number displayed in the 'Feels like' is way off. If the current temp is 23C and the humidity is 82% the Humidex reading is 27C not the 23C that is displayed. Please fix..Version: 7.1
✓ Something's ChangedI've been using Forecast Bar for over two years now and in that time i'd rate my satisfaction anywhere between 90-99%. recent updates, however, have forced me to start reconsidering whether i keep the app as my main source of weather updates and predictions. the information is just as great as it's always been, but these last few updates have made the app unstable and sometimes nearly unusable. immediate freezing, blank screens when in the app, forcing my entire phone to lock up, and generally just *not good*. i don't know if Forecast Bar is trying to do too much with the family of apps across the Watch, iPhone, and desktop, but the more functionality they stick in, the worse it seems to get. and yes, i'm a fully paid subscriber on all platforms..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great functionality, but...The interface and functionality are wonderfully detailed, both on the phone and my watch. I love the customization and widget functionality. The weather is very accurate and I love the alert customization. My only gripes, which sadly, are deal breakers for me are 1) The radar is very slow to load compared to other apps such as My Radar and The Weather Channel. And 2) I can't use this app on my apple watch (series 3) without having to connect to my phone's Bluetooth! Every other weather app I've used allows me to use them without my phone needing to be present, why doesn't this one! If you make this app standalone usable with the apple watch, I will give it five stars and make it my go-to weather app..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Bait and switchWhen I downloaded this app because of the iMessage features, it wasn't clear at all that this was for a trial period, then if I want to keep the functionality, I have to pay. It's a bait and switch and I'm super turned off. It doesn't matter how much I liked the app in iMessage, on my phone, my Apple Watch, whatever, I'm not going to pay to play. It's a shame too, as the app gave me most of what I was looking for, but I'm not interested in having to pay every year to unlock functionality on my phone, then extra for functionality on my watch. Had this app been a pay once and up front for everything sort of app, I'd have very strongly considered it, as it's what I'm looking for, but like I said, the bait and switch nature of their sales pitch has completely turned me off. I get a week of functionality for free? Ridiculous. It's on me for not being aware of this from the get go? Yeah, but honestly, when you're downloading sometjing for use in iMessage, are you usually taking the time to read all of the details? No! Deleting and going back to the other paid apps I use that don't bait and switch like this junk..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Watch features need workI really like the idea of this app. The app is really nice, it looks good, gives me information just the way I would want, and had plenty of customization but the main reason I got the app was for its watch features and well they don’t really work for me. I set everything up as I wanted in the app, set the complication on my watch and closed off the app, the complication showed just what it was suppose to but that’s where it stopped. From there on the only way to get the complication to show accurate info is to open the app, refresh it and then swipe it closed. I’ve tried opening the app on the watch and waiting a bit but it doesn’t work, has to be the app on the phone. I guess I will keep looking for a good weather app that’s friendly w my watch cause no one wants to have to open an app on their phone every 30 minutes or hour to see what the correct weather is..Version: 5.6.4
✓ Watch app still does not work properly.Paid subscriber. The watch face complication often shows the weather from hours or days ago which can get confusing. This can be sometimes remedied by opening the watch app but even that often only shows a loading icon. Opening the iOS app usually helps the watch app catch up but that defeats the purpose of the watch app. I sent this info to the developer weeks ago to which they told me the latest update takes care of this issue, though I had already installed that update. I followed their suggestions of changing the data source, deleting the app, restarting my devices, etc, which I did at least twice. The watch app is still not functioning on its own..Version: 5.6.2
✓ GarbageSubscription for this so so app? App deleted and purchase history hidden from App Store..Version: 3.1
✓ This is only free for one month...It's only free for the first month then you need a subscription. App itself was fine but would like to have known before the "trial" was up..Version: 3.1
✓ To developers, AppleWatch bugFirst, I love your application, and use it on all my devices. BUT for the Apple Watch complication, a strange bug occurs after one month (more or less) of use. The watch seems connected to the iPhone, the iPhone shows that there is no connection. The Apple Watch battery depletes in a few hours, and even a reboot does not solve the connection issue. Only a complete full reinstall solves the problems I had Apple techs level 2 contact me, and the culprit is the Apple Watch complication for forecast bar. It seems that there is a problem that happens after a while. Removing the complication and the app from the Apple Watch solved every problem (2 month testing and still connected, no problems at all) I hope you wil be able to solve this problem. Continue your great work on the forecast bar app, it’s awesome (despite the Apple Watch complication problem.) Another problem on Apple Watch série 4 and watchOS 5 : alerts make the watch REBOOT every single time. Removing app and canceling subscription. Cheers !.Version: 5.1
✓ Watch to slow to updateTemperature on watch doesn't update frequently enough even though I have it set to fast..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Good app but bad widgetI love the app but the widget refused to load properly at first. The widget loads with no graphics. It will launch and open properly. I’ve tried multiple times to edit the widgets, deleting the old and installing the new and it still won’t load properly. After several more attempts to load the new widget, it now won’t load at all. I have cycled power on my iPad to see if it would reload, to no avail. If widgets are important for you then, you’ll have to use another weather app. This current version widget simply doesn’t work..Version: 7.2
✓ Nice little app, but......it doesn't update properly on my Apple watch. I set the complication to show on the bottom of the face and that seems to update properly. However, when I press on it to expand it and see the other data, it doesn't update at all. It seems I have to open the app on my phone in order for it to update on my watch. For example, on the face of my watch it says the temp is 73°. When I press on it, it shows the temp is 68°. (It is currently 73° and hasn't been 68° in a couple of hours.) Other than that, it seems to be a nice little app..Version: 5.3
✓ Very buggyWhatever changes I make to the Apple watch settings within the iPhone app do not get synced to my watch. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling but to no avail. Shame since I would have been willing to pay for the app..Version: 5.4.1
✓ Money grabbersEmailed developer to inform him that his app was not working properly with the new Apple iOS/initiated changes for Home Screen widgets. Never emailed me back after I sent him a video showing what it was doing. But he sure immediately seized the opportunity to only include the new Home Screen widgets with his silver and gold pay subscriptions only (of course I have the bronze plan). So not only does he not get an upgrade to my current subscription I have had for years, he gets nothing going forward. Forecast bar deleted. Happy ex-customer..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Radar often not available in free trialI’m done with data being overlaid on top of the radar that I can’t turn off. I don’t even know what the data is and the developers don’t care enough to answer my question. I won’t pay for an app the developers apparently can’t control. My search for a good weather app continues. I'm enjoying my trial of the app, except radar is frequently under "extremely heavy load" and only available to subscribers. I haven't been able to see the radar for the last 5 days. It is basically a Dark Sky clone. That's where their data comes from..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Not sure what’s going onEither the developers mess with the app too much or they just can’t get it right. I paid for the app because it now totally does not work without paying. But even then, the watch only updates the weather when I open the app on the phone. Making it pointless and no better then any other weather app. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it works after an update and then after another update it doesn’t. Right now it doesn’t..Version: 5.6.4
✓ Extremely DisappointedDiscovered Forecast Bar early this morning. I was excited about some specific complications for my new Apple Watch Series 5 and all the other things offered by a seemingly well designed and popular app. After a couple of hours I was impressed enough to go ahead and purchase the Premium Subscription; mainly, so I could use the awesome watch features of Forecast Bar. Well, here I am about 12 hours later, and I have discovered that the app is stupid slow on both my watch and my phone. The phone app and the iPad app freeze on a regular basis causing me to quit and restart. The watch app doesn’t show data in the watch complications on a regular basis. I’ve read the FAQ item about this problem and followed all of the developer’s guidelines for remedy. As is, I have to manually refresh the watch app quite often so the watch complications will show data. When you look at a watch face, you want information at that instant – not after having to mess with some software. Also, the iPad version of Forecast Bar keeps alerting me that it is not connected to a watch – so, I can’t change some settings which means I don’t have full use of the iPad app. I know an iPad doesn’t work with an Apple Watch like an iPhone does, but having a less than fully functioning app is very disappointing. I hope this app can be fixed very soon. Otherwise, I will just have to delete Forecast Bar and move on to something else. Nobody has time for tech like this..Version: 5.6.4
