Great accurate weather app. I have seen Foreca given as the source of weather data for many weather apps. Might as well get your forecasts right from the source. And it's only weather related metrics, no news or stories that so many other apps include that clutter up their apps. I have paid for other apps that I no longer use due to that. All I want is a detailed weather forecast and radar, nothing else. Also the ads are very minimal. Whenever I check the weather I might see 1 ad if any.

WOW. This is one of the absolute best weather apps I have ever used. It is extremely customizable; you can even select between those little fixed banner ads, and occasional full screen ads (the banner ads are very low key and not at all intrusive). You support the developers one way or another; ads or a premium subscription. I prefer NO ads whenever possible for apps that I use regularly and typically purchase ad free versions, or select from Playpass apps.

I like some things about the app, but the map is disappointing. The future forecast on the map is lame. I was watching a hurricane on the map and the animation was swirling until it got to the future portion, and then it stopped swirling and just moved like a clump. Maybe that is hard to get right, but one thing is for certain, this app does not get future storm movement right. That is true in normal weather too.
