WeatherSTEM 4+

I really like the new dashboard layout! I also really like all of the great camera views. The new map is beautiful too. Keep up the great job!

I must say this app was an unexpected surprise. I previously used weather underground until they sold out and decided that they were more interested in harvesting every piece of personal information about me they could get their hands on. This unfortunately meant that I was back to using the weather service. Don’t get me wrong they do a good job in the location they cover but that location is farther away from me and closer to the bay which doesn’t exactly represent the conditions I experience here. They don’t have as many locations as WU but I was lucky enough to find they had one less than a mile from my house. So far I am finding the information to be extremely accurate and their promise of updating every 60 seconds has been true. The only thing I would like to see changed is the voiceover accessibility for those with visual impairments. It is doing an OK job of reading the current conditions however it appears there are other elements to the application such as weather forecasting and lightning that are not accessible. Even with the accessibility issue it is nice to finally have a better understanding of what the conditions are around home, even when I can’t be there.

This app has possibly the most potential to be the greatest. However, there’s a ton of quirks that need to be addressed. I can’t log in at all through the app, the map function force closes the entire app, no alerts, these are just a few. I rely on the accurate wether and alerts for my job if this app can get it together it would be a total 5 star app all day everyday.
