WeatherGeek Pro 2 App Reviews

Seems to be for the "closer to raw data crowd" kind of like in the original Star Trek when Spock looked into that tiny rectangular screen at the Sciences station, fiddled with the one knob and then announced just about anything about anything! My tiny brain would like my data presented in an easy to read and interpret form while also being able to drill into it and perhaps see the assumptions, maybe a predicted accuracy due to the distance and quality of data gathering stations, etc.. We live in nowheresville, central Florida where you are lucky to have a paved road let alone a cluster of weather data gathering stations that can help correct for our huge number of lakes, rivers, and man made waterways that screw around with the humidities, temperatures, and even boundaries of rainfall. Something that could do those things as well as update quickly enough to track the localized weather zones rapid changes would be greatly welcomed, probably incredibly expensive, and would require unprecedented government cooperation and civil expenditures unrealistic to expect by the parties involved. Oh, well... The app seems to work well for what I believe it is designed to do with the data available but it doesnt meet my needs.

I love the app as its feature packed, but despise the fact that it crashes so often. Id purchase more features, but not if it keeps crashing and frustrating me to no end. Please fix! Thank you.

Crashes constantly. Plus the intro screen shows up on open every time. Please fix. Fix that and its a great app.

The HRRR data from the in app purchase will not display even when the data IS available from NOAA. The in app purchase for skew -T charts only covers a few stations and will not display. Upper air data is also blank. This app is a great idea but takes your money and does not deliver the data you pay for.

I love this app for the fact I find everything I need to forecast weather right here. There are bugs though. I can not access the Skew-t graphs at all, nor can I access the HRRR model maps like it claims. They have options but when I click on them nothing happens and they are greyed out. It also crashes. It is very aggravating when Im watching a model run and all of a sudden it just cuts out. But Im willing to deal with the crashes for the convenience of having the maps all here. I just wish I had access to all of the maps it advertised.

This used to be me go to app for mobile weather model information. It was very convenient to access model info on the go. I also used the app extensively for analysis. Unfortunately since I updated to iOS 7, the app has been unstable and a pain to use. It crashes every time I try to loop or flip through model info. I hope a solution can be found, and I would love to use this app again. At the moment, my go to mobile model app is produced by unisys. Its not as awesome as weathergeek pro is when it is functional, but the unisys app gets the job done if you need a more stable mobile weather app.

Except for Radarscope, no app in the store gives so many potential ways to see and understand the weather and the models used in forecasting it. The app could use some redesign in how one navigates the various windows, but there really isnt much like this on in the store.

This app is by far the best weather model app on the app store. It includes a ton of info and almost everything I could ask for. But there is one problem... its awfully glitchy and will very often black out when looping, especially on the gfs. Overall its still the weather app for your average weather geek!

What works...works. What doesnt...doesnt. You guys need to get this right. If your functionality worked with the options you present this would be an awesome app but because its not ready for prime time other weather apps beat this hands down.

This is a fantastic app if you are actually interested in meteorology. It is perfect if you are in the atmospheric science field, or looking to be.

I cant find any data for snow accumulation. With snow data this would be 5 stars. GFS, NAM, etc should include snow predictions.

Theres no better way to interact with models on your iPad... Great display scheme - good selection of models - good mapping. Annotation features are a plus too. Just a few tweaks (some may not be possible thanks to Apple) would get this 5 stars. But still best in the field...

New update has this ap hitting on all cylinders again. Thank you! Full of great info and raw data so you can play meteorologist. Access to weather modeling on iPhone allows one to get the unadulterated big picture RE the weather on the fly. This thing is thick: Its got cape, freezing levels, upper atmosphere conditions, vorticity, rh, hourly-60hr precip, precip type, etc, etc; and multiple models to choose from, including the spaghetti spreads to gauge certainty in the forecast. Hrrr in ap purchase highly recommended for short term weather picture. This thing is for the green eyeshade gang serious about their weather -- not so much for the person wanting to know if they should put on a sweater.

Best in class for looking at forecast models on iOS. No comparison.

Just charge for the app capabilities up front. Too fragmented, cumbersome and above all annoying to navigate. Screen shots of app is primarily of in app purchased info. Better apps out there that dont rely on candy crush approach to a weather app.
