Weather - Local Climate° Hack 1.8.7 + Redeem Codes

I couldn't stand the weather channel anymore bc of the nonstop ads and news stories that I don't really care about. This app is what it promises to be. I was going to give it four stars but when I compare it to the other apps out there that are super shady this one stands out for its decency. A single non-intrusive ad at the bottom of the screen, with the option to upgrade to the premium version for a single one time payment.
I don't know about you but I would STEER CLEAR of any weather apps offering you a subscription...that is ridiculous. Also I looked at the reviews on some of the 5 star apps...they are all written by people who do not understand English...Another red flag for an app. Sorry to talk so much about other apps but it's why this one is good...the developer seems to be genuine.

This weather app is nothing to write home about, but it’ll do - at least, the iPad version isn’t so great. Case in point (on the iPad); there is no key map... you know, something to tell you what the little symbols mean. Like humidity. Which one is which? It looks like rainfall(?), expected rainfall (?) and humidity (?) are basically extremely similar. There is no explanation for what any of the symbols are. Also, no indication of whether the humidity is rising or dropping (indication of an arriving or departing weather front)... none of the symbols indicate that info, so whichever symbol is humidity, it doesn’t indicate that. Also, the little arrows next to the temp, being wind direction according to the help info, doesn’t explain where up is (it just says it’s pointing in the direction the wind is blowing)... is up north? Also it provides no air quality index. Also (this would be nice to have), it doesn’t provide any recent past information... like, it’d be nice to know just how cold it really got last night, or yesterday... maybe last week). Having said that, this app is my go to app, it’s the first one I check for temp and future weather events. HOWEVER, If I need all that other stuff (see above) I use another app, or apps - which sort of defeats the purpose of having a weather app). Jus’ sayin’...

I got this app because I needed to know what weather it would be in a day or days. So I got it. And it was for free. And I’m really glad I did because it’s very convenient. I love the idea of colors for how bad the weather will be. Especially because there’s a scale telling what color is bad, good, or in between. OR between that. I love this app. And congrats to the producers who made it. BUT, there is two problems. First, it once said that it was going to rain 90% at 4:00. Then, when it was 4:00, I looked outside and it wasn’t raining. So I checked this weather app again, it it moved to 5:00. 90% chance. And then it was 5:00, and it wasn’t raining. I looked at this weather app AGAIN, and it moved to 6:00, 90% chance of rain. And this continued the rest of the day until 12:00. Secondly, it will FREEZE SO BADLY. But, to be honest, I’m not sure if it’s my WiFi, or the app. But the WiFi that i have around my area rarely freezes. So those are the two main problems I have. But, all in all, this is a really nice app. I also forgot to mention that this app is also ad free for FREE. Again, congrats producers! Even though I have these problems, I still enjoy this app. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a a good layout of weather for a location with hourly, daily and radar easily found all in same screen. However, for the “Show Local Weather” feature to work the app requires you enable “Track Location Always”. I don’t like or use any app that tracks my location (I’ve turned it off in all of Google). I would accept some delay to load local weather data for the safety of not always tracking me, but this app doesn’t offer the Show Local unless it can always track my location. Therefore I am deleting the app as there are other weather apps that are not so intrusive.

Bottom line: It’s a simple app that does a bit more than its sibling and its advertising is far less annoying. And, it works on older devices. Works for me.

The other Impala weather app is the one with the big clock on it and the animated backgrounds. Comparing the two apps: This one has at least seven day forecasts (the other one, five) and a weather map. Forecasts on this app are larger and easier to read (than on the sibling app).

Something this app does not have (that the other one has) is interstitial ads. Thus far, the only ad I’ve seen is a banner across the bottom of the screen. If it stays that way, then GREAT!

(I know you need advertising to stay in business - I just hate ads that get-in-the-way and sometimes prevent access to the very content that I turn to the app for)

Something else that’s pretty good, too: iOS 9 compatible, so I can run this on my iPad 2. A serious design flaw of iOS for iPad is the lack of a native (Apple) weather app - such as all iPhones and iPods have. Shame on you, Apple. Even Windows 10 comes with a weather app - for desktop computers! (And shame on other weather apps that have shut down support for iOS 9 - Weather Channel and Weather Underground, I’m looking at you)

I really appreciate the design of this weather app. All the information is right there on one screen including radar. You can tap on each day to see what the hourly forecast is. And you will want to because the general description for the day might mislead you. For example, today it shows thundershowers because there is a 2% chance at 10:00 this morning. All the other 24 hours in the day are at 0%. Really!? It’s really great otherwise; just make sure to always check the hourly as I said, so you aren’t misguided.

In my own non-scientific, random checks of the other weather sites , this site is most often accurate over a 72 hour period. Sometimes even a five day period will hold up to scrutiny. I believe God has a lot of fun with the weather prognosticators; however, He must they be feeding these folks some secrets under the table ha ha! Thank you...
However, I must say, the plethora of tricky commercials is pushing me away. It is becoming harder and harder to simply check in to see what the day’s weather is supposed to be. I need a machete to get through the weeds of “pay for Pro“…!

I had this app for years- It’s feature rich and clean! The features are on a single page! Scroll through your saved cities with its week displayed virtually. Pull down and that areas map goes full screen with Doppler time-lapse. Click on a day and the hourly info drops down to reveal/hide precipitation and all that good stuff and the option to click 3 pop up maps (wind rain temp) if you want to see details of the surrounding area.

It used to be $1.99 to get rid of the ad. I wanted to love it and pay but the temps, some location names were wrong and the Doppler map and temps were a little off. I saw they updated the accuracy of things but also changed to subscription! 😞

This app is great. I can’t get the weather channel app and at first this seemed to be a good replacement. However, as time went on, it seemed like the app got slowly more corrupted(?) with ads. Today I opened the app and immediately got an ad. That’s normal with this app. I closed out of it and barely had enough time to go to my local weather and look at at before another one appeared. Now, there are so many ads on the screen. I’m on the brink of deleting this app. I know you can buy a subscription but it seems ridiculous to subscribe to a weather report app. I know I shouldn’t complain. Overall, this app is okay when its free, but there’s something sketchy about this that I don’t love. Anyway, I have to go and delete this app. Thanks for reading.

How can I change the location from ‘Pilgrim Village’ to ‘Madison Wisconsin’ or ‘Shorewood Hills’? Not obvious, and of course, no on-line help documentation. Apple programs seems to follow a commandment ‘Thou shalt not document’. I was able to chang the location temporarily ditzing around but that added an unwanted account to my email that has received an average of about one spam every 18 minutes! In settings on my iPad pro, I could turn off email for that account but not delete it. Then, my location reverted to ‘Pilgrim Village’. It appears the programmers are very interested in me receiving about 80 email spams per day as a fine for having a weather app on my iPad pro.
