Weather on the Way for Negative User Reviews

✓ WarningThe app has a trial period. You are told you will be notified before trial period is up and you are billed for an annual subscription. I never got a notice!!! I kept looking at subscriptions to cancel but it appears it does not show up until Its billed. Once billed you are on the hook for one year. Let this serve as a warning on getting an app with a free trial that auto bills. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a bill. I will be smarter in the future. I might should have deleted the app, maybe that would have stopped the subscription. My Research didn't confirm it worked that way. The app itself is ok. The trial version is two hours behind, which doesn’t give you an adequate test of its real capabilities. I guess I will now have a year to see if its worth it. :).Bro HVersion: 1.8.11

✓ No Audible/Directional Navigation FeaturesBought a new truck that now has CarPlay. Was looking at apps that were recommended for CarPlay, especially one dealing with weather. I downloaded it based on reviews and paid for the Pro version for a year. I have now tested it a few times on my hour and half drive to my ranch. I was surprised to find there was no audible voice/ directional navigation for the map even though it uses Apple Maps. It’s been fine because I obviously know my way to the ranch. I have an upcoming trip to San Antonio and Austin. Because I will have to make a stop in San Antonio for an hour before heading on to Austin, I will need to rely on the navigation function to get to my stop in San Antonio and back out to head to Austin and navigation to the point in Austin. In my test drives to my ranch near Weimar, there has not been a navigation feature, audible or not, to see if I can rely on the navigation and weather features. Maybe I’m missing something.AggielandVersion: 1.7.8

✓ NOT a weather app!!!I installed this, thinking that it would allow me to use Apple Carplay to see the weather forecast, but it doesn’t. It wants to help me navigate where I’m driving. I don’t want that. I already have a great app for that (Waze), and there’s also Google Maps and Apple Maps for that. I JUST WANT THE WEATHER. Also, they want a boatload of money for this app. NOT WORTH IT!.JaeraVersion: 1.7.4

✓ Limited FunctionalityThe app provides very limited functionality and I find it hard to use for longer trips requiring stop overs and route customizations. It cannot even account for time zones let alone something more complex! It seems nothing more than a toy..ShinMaru01Version: 1.0.1

✓ Didn’t re-routeI was keen to try the CarPlay integration so I set up my first trip. Unfortunately, I couldn’t begin my route the way it suggested and had to detour. Most navigation apps would have immediately updated and re-routed me but this didn’t. Even after driving a few Km away from my starting point, it never updated. My location indicator updated, so the app knew where I was. It just never triggered a new route Plus, the map style seems to be dark. This makes it difficult to see if there is any sunlight on the CarPlay screen..CogunnVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Navigation lackingThe lack of rerouting in a city is a disaster for navigation component of this app. The weather integration is good. App deleted..JaHaGenauVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Needs more work on navThere is a lot to be done here. This is the worst app for navigation use. I want this for weather on the route or roughly so. The app refuses to reroute. If it was reasonably close to the route I use with my Garmin, the weather display would good. Let me turn off guidance! CarPlay mode interface is too clunky and oversized. The weather balloons cover the position indicator. Who thought of that? As it is now, I can’t use this and don’t think it’s ready for paid subscriptions..GeolehmanVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Doesn’t show in CarPlayAnd it costs £21.99!.AlfistiMilanoVersion: 1.9.0

✓ Weather/radarI found that when we were traveling in Montana and South Dakota the information was not correct and it was not as accurate as using radar and seeing when and where the rain would be. We were in a motorcycle and the information about weather is really important. Not able to count in the accuracy of this tool, the idea is. Great. But we would get stuck in bad situation if we tried to count in it instead of the weather radar..Bb222222222222333Version: 1.8.4

✓ Good app but expensiveI like the app and the concept is good. Functionality appears to be good too. But like 99% of apps in the App Store, I will never subscribe to it. More and more apps are switching to a subscription based service. Everyone being greedy trying to reach into consumers’ pockets. Most apps are over priced or not worth the money at all. Why in the world people pay, it beats me! With that said, this app is subscription based, and even though I am against monthly or annual subscriptions, I feel that if you travel a lot the 5 bucks per month is reasonable. But again, only if you do a lot of travel or for whatever reason you need to know the weather along the way. The problem I have with this app and the reason I gave it two stars, is because for the occasional trip that I do five bucks per month would make it a waste of my money. I would use it enough to justify 5 bucks per month or an annual subscription. So I am moving on to other similar apps with free versions. Or, I’ll keep doing it the good o’ fashion way. That is, open the good o’ Weather Channel app and check the weather along the way. Not hard to do at all..FototicoVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Ice ice babyI’ve been loving this app. Have used it for 2 months for work. I travel often for work. It’s been great until yesterday. I checked my route many times and it had all clear. No spots of wet or ice. However my husband called before I left and warned me of ice on many parts if my journey. So I checked ODOT trip check and no doubt there is at least a 45 minute stretch of black ice and ice. Quite a few deadly car crashes and more. While this app is great for many reasons, always double check roads..OREGONBUBBSVersion: 1.9.1

✓ So Much PotentialFirstly; Thank you to the developers for the free trial of the full app, so we can get a taste of the apps capabilities before buying. • Who is this for? Using Apple Maps, the app displays your route, that you enter, as you would normally in a navigation app, but the weather forecast is displayed along your route. This is really helpful, for us living in the Scottish Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧, where we can see if ferries ⛴️ could be affected, or if roads could be affected by rain 🌧️, ice 🧊, or snow ❄️. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • The CarPlay Display; The display is very clear, again using Apple Maps, and the colour scheme highlights likely road conditions. But this is where things go a little weird… As a driver, you (hopefully) are looking out the window, so you know what the weather is. I don’t need the screen to tell me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Driven Mad ⚠️ The factor that makes me scream “Noooooo!”, is the robotic monotone SatNav voice from 1999‼️ There’s no option to change this, or use your chosen Siri voice, which drove me crazy! This has to be fairly easy to include❔⭐️ Go or Stall⁉️ • This is a very accurate, clear, and potentially great app, and it should be used before starting a long journey by everyone, especially new drivers and/or if you are driving on unfamiliar roads and/or terrain. But it just needs finishing off, and I look forward to giving 5 Stars when it is. Overall: Definitely a “GO” 🟢⭐️⭐️⭐️.IDavidson2Version: 1.9.6

✓ Route display too distractingThe weather features are great, even in Southern California, but the “always forward” route display’s constant pivoting is extremely distracting (unless you’re on a long straight stretch of freeway). The Maps option to select always North display is ideal for visually relating to upcoming turns. Another desirable feature would be the ability to import Maps Favorites destinations, rather than having to re-enter/search for each..CanyonistVersion: 1.7.7

✓ CarPlay bugsI tried to use this app on the start of a 3000 mile road trip. Had to quit using it because of the inaccuracy of the weather conditions and the annoying “return to route” message that kept popping up. I contacted support and they responded quickly. But, they have no idea what is causing this annoying message. I tried putting my iPhone on top of the dash and many other different places in my car hoping it would help. It did nothing. Canceling my subscription..Pad'rVersion: 1.8.7

✓ Promising App but Only for Parkway UsersThis app is amazing, but not for limited driver license holders or drivers who aren’t allowed to use the parkways/highways yet, or even for the elderly who doesn’t like to take the parkways anymore. There are no route options for avoiding parkways or tolls for this app. I hope it gets added soon :(.JanuelyeeVersion: 1.6.8

✓ Free version worked well, now trying to force me to paid subscriptionI installed app about a week ago. Just using free version. Works pretty good, allows me to select start and stop locations, and even adjust travel speed. And I can adjust my departure time. Quite useful for seeing weather on the way. But this morning it won’t let me adjust the departure time. The default is “depart now.” This morning when I try to adjust departure time it tries to force me to install the pro (paid) version. Hopefully this is just a temporary bug which the author will fix. If it keeps doing this I’ll end up uninstalling the app..Another RV TravelerVersion: 1.8.2

✓ DesappointedI used this app for a couple of days, at the bogeying, I was seeing the winds, now it requires the pro. I am not paying to get something that should be included. I am quite desappointed. Too bad. When towing a véhicule, the winds are important! L.Line.giguereVersion: 1.8.7

✓ ColorsUnable to change the colours..KeithG2510Version: 1.9.6

✓ Too much radar colorThe colors of the radar are too bright and overwhelming. They are also reverse of the NWS and other weather services that I have used as a professional pilot for 40+ years. There is also no way to set the radar transparency so the radar colors overwhelm the entire display making it difficult to see where the radar is in relation to where I am researching. Overall the functionality of this app is at best a 2 out of 5..Vizslas99Version: 1.7.7

✓ Way too expensiveAnother money grab. The app looks good but could never justify that amount of money for what it is. So I'll be uninstalling and moving on. Just another example of why I don't like the app store and most apple products in general. But if you have plenty of $ to throw at something like this then I'm sure you would be happy, just not for me. And yes I know there is a "free " version but if you want to use it as intended (car play) then you have to cough up the cash. To each his own.Sensei WuuVersion: 1.8.7

✓ Trip to Las VegasWe went to Las Vegas from Alberta Feb 7 and back to Alberta March 15. This App was useless as far as the road conditions on the same day as we were travelling. I15 was black on the Idaho 511 app and closed. This app only said it was wet. We detoured through Yellowstone and the app said it was good roads couple wet spots. Actually snow covered ice to slush a lot of the road but passable. I canceled my subscription and will be deleting the app..Lester2023Version: 1.7.8

✓ CarPlay barely useableJumps out of CarPlay multi view screen after .5 seconds Jumps out of route details after .5 seconds Update: tried on different Car (not sure if relevant as previous car unavailable). I think problem was related to how Apple Maps is used. If you go to Dashboard view, this app is NOT shown. All other NAV apps transition in and out of dashboard view. Instead of Weather on Way Apple Maps is displayed. Even if you kill Apple Maps on your phone, it is launched. To go back to Weather on Way you need to go back to launch icon as Apple Maps has taken over. I think my previous complaint was related to issues with Dashboard view but behavior was different. Definitely bugs in this area..G IrvanVersion: 1.7.2

✓ Was good, now notWas good until now you have to pay a subscription just so that you can use the app on CarPlay!! What the?!.Shmerrr1Version: 1.9.6

✓ Weather was quite inaccurate- especially wind speeds before I’d even set off!Wind speeds for my journey on this app stating 13mph with gusts up to 25mph. All other weather forecasters on static stations were on 38-45mph. Bit of a discrepancy there- and I know who were correct so am cancelling this one..DribbleyEsq55Version: 1.8.8

✓ Tried on an iPhone and Apple CarplayStarted well but I had to take a less congested road from the roundabout and the app never recalculated the rout which joins up out of town. It just asked to rejoin the route. If this hastens in an unknown town or city you would be lost. This is a critical function that renders it unusable. Pluse the male voice needs an alternative female voice with no US accent. Apple, Google and Waze all do this. Sadly Waze has an American drawl of a voice and is horrid..Meester ChrisVersion: 1.9.3

✓ SubscriptionMake it a one time reasonable price and I might pay for the app..Squirel57Version: 1.8.8

✓ WindWe have winds here that are over 37 miles an hour and app reports 27 km. This is way off.Christos-rebetisVersion: 1.5.0

✓ It is an ok appI wanted to use this app to see the weather on my son’s trip across the country in winter. The week I used it it was going well until the last day. The app said the route was partly cloudy most of the route, when in fact it was snowing most of the drive. So, do not count on the accuracy of the weather on this app. Use only for timing. But, then again if it’s poor weather, timing will be off as well..Mollie26Version: 1.5.5

✓ Rarely AccurateI just got done using this app for the last year and I’ve decided to cancel my subscription. Everything is great about this app except for the actual weather forecasting. It would be one thing if it just couldn’t get weather it was predicting a few days ahead of time right, but it can’t even accurately predict what’s directly ahead of me. The Apple Weather app seems to know the weather in the town that’s a half hour down the road, but this thing regularly does not. Unless it can do at least that, it’s just not worth the $25..HEED MY WARNINGSVersion: 1.8.14
