It’s not just you: Apple’s Weather app isn’t working again for some people.

@iChris For me it has been criminally inaccurate to the point that I had to switch apps. Not sure what is going on over there.

@jmanes same experience here. Really bad.

@iChris @jmanes Apple Weather has always been horribly inaccurate here in Canada. Though to be fair, I even had problems with the Environment Canada source in CARROT losing accuracy, to the point I switched to Foreca.

@pimoore Ooh what’s Foreca?

@iChris It’s one of CARROT’s weather sources, and I seem to be having good luck with its accuracy — for my location, at least. Hello Weather also has it as an available source.

@pimoore @iChris @jmanes Yes, agreed! It's been terrible here in Missouri too. Both the performance and the accuracy. And just like Pete I took a cue from CARROT and chose Foreca. Right off I noticed that the radar is so much faster to load in the app. And it's more accurate. I stopped paying for the CARROT premium several months ago but I may actualy pay the minimal amount for a year of Ad-free Foreca. Bonus: excellent widgets on the iPad.

@Denny @iChris @pimoore I went all in on Hello Weather. They have a lifetime license option and it has been great!

@jmanes @denny @ichris Hello Weather’s biggest Achilles’ heel is its lack of notifications, though I’m hoping they will address this in the next version.

@pimoore @denny I'm the worst supporter of apps when it comes to weather, and what keeps me going back to Apple's stupid weather app. I can't bring myself to pay for a weather app. And yet I complain about it. I know. I'm the problem. It's me.

@iChris @pimoore I'm not a fan of subscriptions but I may actually do it in this case, 1 year of Foreca is only $3.49. As I understand it there is actually a bit of cost for them to run the service and that seems like a reasonable amount for 1 year. It's certainly a lot less than I paid for Carrot weather!

@iChris @denny I actually love Apple’s weather app apart from its inaccuracy. It’s much improved from how it used to be, the UI looks modern and clean, and like you said it’s free and built in. Hello Weather (which I have lifetime for) is coming out with a new version and API update at some point. Once that’s out I’ll be evaluating it against CARROT and deciding from there.

@pimoore Agreed on the Apple app. Love it. Want to use it. But the lack of accuracy and slow load time on the maps too is terrible. The maps often won't load at all on a really fast connection.
