Weather in a straight forward presentation

rdubbed · 15 years ago

If you like smiling suns and cartoon clouds, then this weather app might not be for you. But if want more detail in your forecasts, then this app gives it to you in a different, but easy to understand format. At first it might seem like a stange way to look at a forecast, but after you use if for a while you realize that it has all of the information you need packaged in a way that is easy to grasp. Plus it allows you to see any hazardous weather conditions like storm warnings. Give it a try.

Simple and Easy to Understand

Mike and Joy · 14 years ago

Great App that is perfect for a quick look at the upcoming weather. Would like to see the ability to get a text forecast besides just the weather alerts.

Without question -- THE BEST!

fixpain · 14 years ago

This early version is very sophisticated, and it allows you to customize your display for the best ease of use for YOUR purposes. The graphical presentation is extremely easy to "grasp," and you get to see a weeks worth of "prediction" to compare to the present numbers. The developer responds almost immediately to questions ..... and has plans for some NEAT enhancements for upcoming iterations. THIS IS THE ONE that you are looking for ..... honest! You can find much more simplistic visuals -- but youll NEVER get the details that you choose and use!

best forecast summary

FredericRobins · 14 years ago

I am a meteorologist, have been using this app for a couple of months. It is the best single display of MOS (for single sites) that I have seen. Wind speed display is not quite as good as in the NWS hourly forecast, but still good. Otherwise, Pinpoint is where I go for a quick wx forecast summary of the major variables.going out a week, including a very good QPF/POP/cloud cover graphic display.

Just stopped working

Was a really great app, but yesterday it just stopped working. Graph but no values.

very good--how I think about weather

EL PPIG · 14 years ago

I like this app, its how I think, much clearer presentation of information, Im surprised this isnt how most weather apps are laid out, good price too, I hope they add it it in time, I like it that the graphs are based on raw data from NOAA, Ild get it if I were you, obviously . . .
