Pros and cons of AccuWeather Platinum - Weather for Life app for iPhone and iPad

AccuWeather Platinum - Weather for Life app good for

Well just look at number threes answer and I will back them up 100% any day anytime anyplace okey-dokey artichokey? Ive only been having this app ever since it came out SO, With that being said what else can I say except get it and if you dont you may live to regret it!!!! All jokes aside:)
This is a really good app. Much better than the new version of TWC MAX, which is awful. I love how you can change how many hours/days the forecast shows. The radar is very easy to understand and rarely ever glitches. However, I feel that this app is a little hard to navigate through. The mix of buttons and scrolling really confuses me sometimes. I hope accuweather will fix this because otherwise I love this app.
I used to think AW was great, then I found out it could be customized. Whoohoo! Now its incredible! Amazing amount of data in a fast, intuitive, easy to access, attractive format. Several days of hourly forecasts and 25 day long-term forecasts are fantastic. The minute forecasts are usually remarkably accurate (break in thunder storms in 10 minutes, eg). I hugely appreciate this app! Only suggestion, currently hourly detail data and forecasts are at bottom of page with daily forecasts up top. Would be more convenient if reversed. Still getting used to i9 format, but still great app.
This app completely surpasses every other weather app I have tried, and Ive tried dozens. I stuck with TWC Max for the past several years despite the various "upgrades" that often made it worse instead of better. But now that TWC not only has completely changed the UI again but also announced they will force everyone to pay a subscription fee starting next year, I am so happy to have found this version of AccuWeather! The interface looks sharp, is easy to learn and use, can be modified by the user, and the app provides all the information most people would ever need or want. A clear five stars. All other weather apps have been deleted from my devices.
They finally updated the version to support an Apple Watch complication! Looks great and is a lot nicer than the standard Apple weather complication. Love the app, but still room for improvement for Apple Watch.
Since the last update when I view the map, the selections for past, future and the others are blank. Hopefully the kept the current conditions when they added the future.

Some bad moments

Tried them all and I always seem to come back to this one. My only wish is that the color scheme was easier to see outside and you could zoom in closer on the map screen.
Best weather app on the market. Easy to handle, very informative
This is an awesome app. It really does what it sets out to do., I highly recommend it. It has everything I need all in where its handy : update really kicked it up quite a bit, I love it., Thanks Guys:
I like being able to plan for trips by checking weather conditions for my destinations ahead of time. I have found AccuWeather to be very accurate in forecasting weather locally.
This is my "go to" weather app!! Plan my activities around it - better than any weather person ever!!!
This is by far the best weather app out there. The layout is great and it is petty spot on.
