Reviews of OpenWeather:

The forecast is usually pretty accurate. UI could be a little easier on the eyes. I'd love to have mmHg as an option for pressure (hPa & inHg are available). I really enjoy that you can choose all of the measurement units not only temperature. The widget is my favourite I've had so far, it tells the weather and temperature for the next 3 hours and can be refreshed without opening the app. 

Simple, the way any Weather app should be. I was a bit concerned I wasn't going to get 'hourly' graphs anywhere but I tapped on a day and then it showed me the view I was looking for. Two things I wish this had but I'll be ok without: 1. Hourly wind chart and 2. The ability to bookmark locations and easily move between them.

I am liking it so far. It is well laid out with all data clearly identifiable. The only feature I would like to see is that it would retain the last downloaded forecast for offline viewing. I generally keep my data turned off and would like to be able to check the short range weekly forecast without having to update the current weather data.

After my fav weather app (weather&radar) got taken over by intrusive ads, i started looking for an accurate replacement. After trying a few this seems to be the most accurate, unobtrusive, lightweight, ad free and fully functional app. I've only been using this a few days but it's proving to be absolutely spot on for weather here in West Wales, which is extremely changeable! Thankyou for making this app, and free as well! top job! UPDATE: 100%This is so accurate they must be making the weather!
