User Reviews for Fizz Weather

Good, but not nearly good enough

This app is pretty good overall but has some major shortfalls.The Good -Good screen layout. -Good flexibility regarding setting up multple cities. -Includes current conditions and 2 & 5 day forcasts. -Includes radar ad other maps.The Bad: -Cost....Overpriced for what you get. You can set up a web oage to MSN or anotehr weather page for nothing and get the same info. -No hourly forecast. Should include at least some hourly forecast information. -Wind speed is always wrong. Always shows 16-24mph winds and I go outside and the wind is barely blowing. I'm a bike rider so wind is an imporatn factor for me (and the reason I bought this app) and not having it correct makes the app almost useless to me. -Current conditions page is often not updated until you tell it to update. If you exit the app on that page one evening and then start the app in the morning it still shows the same conditions as last evening until you tap "Now" to update it. For a pay-app, I shouldn't have to tell it to update.Bottom line - The standard iPhone weather app is almost as good as this app. This app is SLIGHTLY better than the free WeatherBug app, but not by much. Save your money and wait for improvements before buying this app. I'm sure their next version will have many improvements.

Pros and Cons

Pro's -• Great weather information. Well displayed and easy to understand.• Nice graphics and icons. Radar is animated and shows movement and direction of storms. There is a satellite view also.• Gives the user a lot of useful weather information. On a 3G iPhone updates load fairly quickly.• Only weather program that gives airport delay information.• Alert icon, shows special conditions, like local flooding, dry conditions, etc.Cons -• Sometimes the initial icon displayed is incorrect for the actual conditions. At 8:00 PM, it was dusk and near dark, yet the icon showed sunny and bright. Any at 8:30AM the icon still showed a night time moon.• Font used to display detailed conditions (wind speed, humidity, etc.) is too small. Could be larger, as there is some wasted space. • Radar is good for overall viewing, but not detailed to town and city level.Overall - Great piece of software. Should be on everyones iPhone. Well done and presented. Has all the weather in one program.

Yikes...

Have to agree, for once, with the peanut gallery here. The app used to be great - if, for some reason, you own the app, haven't upgraded, and are reading this, don't upgrade, or make a copy of the old version first. You'll likely hate v.2.A big portion of the main screen is reserved for a pretty picture to represent the city in question. There are three problems here: (1) if you live or frequent somewhere (generally why you'd save the location), you don't care about the picture, because you're looking at the real place now, or will be soon. (2) even if you like the feature for some reason, if you don't live in a major city, no picture for you! (3) half the screen is wasted, and the fonts displaying the info you care about are tiny, and the pictures frequently make it even harder to read (I'm in NYC, and the details unreadable except under ideal indoor conditions).On the plus side, I do like the slide-out tiles for the charts. The controls for those are clunky, but considering the other UI sins, that's survivable.

Ok app

At first I really liked this app over WeatherBug and the native weather app on iPhone (not there's anything wrong with the native app). But the more I used it the more I began to dislike it. The radar isn't very good, the wind speed is always wrong, and the temperature is always one degree lower than actual. As far as the wind speed, there could be no wind and this app says wind speed is around 18 mph. Even when the wind speed outside is 10, it could be around 20-30 on this app. I think that calls for a wind advisory! I really don't like that you can choose 1 of 8 weather stations. I've went back and forth with The Weather Channel and Fizz to match up what weather station was accurate. And each day the reporting stations would change in accuracy. The weather app already on iPhone was more up to date on the hour than this one. I didn't care for the graphics either. The app is always slow moving when flipping through the different locations you have set. I was always skeptical about this app, now I'm using something better. Don't waste $5.99 if you really care about true accurate weather.

OS11

Will not work on OS 11. Needs to be updated, otherwise a good program.

About time..?

All I can say is it about time it was updated because the last one was when the iPhone 5 was launched. It was not working on my iPhone SE and only working on my iPhone 4S. So, what took you so long Developer(s)?!

Could be the best with a little improvement

A very good weather program overall. Basically aggregates much of the information that you can get with AeroWeather and WeatherBug but with a much nicer interface. With a few improvements this could be a superior application.1. As others have commented, the maps section needs improvement. Any zooming and the picture pixellates. WeatherBug is better here because you can zoom in and view just your state and control the opacity. The animation and controls in FizzWeather are good but they really need to improve the viewing options.2. It's great to have weather alerts but I'm presented with way too many from different reporting stations, many of which are warnings outside my area. A little bit more granularity here would go a long way.3. While not as important as my previous points it would be nice to have option in how the date and time is displayed. Not a big fan of "6th Sept" and would like a 12-hour time option as well.UPDATE: Just want to comment on some of the reviews that criticize the accuracy of wind and temperatures. This app shows you exactly where it's getting its data from if you look at the current day stats. You can then swipe to choose the data location that displays the current stats, usually from an airport station. So you have to keep in mind that the wind and temperature data is from these airport stations not from your exact location.

This one abides...

A classic, clean, easy design -- minimalist if you will -- that ably complements the iPhone form factor. It abides among a genre of too-much, crammed into too little space with too many tabs, scrolls, controls and views. One can liken this to the well-laid out dash of a true sports car: it easily informs of current conditions while allowing the driver to deal with the road ahead.

Moderate disappointment

Maybe back in 2012 this was a comparatively good app but now it can't hold a candle to other weather apps. I'll probably keep using Yahoo weather. GUI seems awkward and doesn't show chance of precipitation on main info list. Also doesn't do AIr quality. And satellite images are a joke!!

Finally iPhone 5 support

I've always thought this was one of the better weather apps with tons of info available. Some of my favorite features are the prediction graphs for temperature and precipitation and the satellite maps. I also like the way everything is presented.
