PA Weather 4+

Weather apps are a must these days but it’s easier said than done finding a quality build. I’ve also noticed some change their forecast (rain/snow) % almost by the minute. I believe they’ve discovered it is a way to get users to check it more often and they use that increased traffic to sell ads but it’s less valuable to me.

The one main peeve on this build is requiring 2 fingers to pan or zoom the radar. This is a mobile app made to view on a mobile phone that is almost always being operated with one hand. Requiring 2 fingers defeats the purpose.

In order to tell this story we can’t start at the begging, we must journey back much farther. It was my birthday party, one of my earliest memories, there was friends, family and fun. It was a crisp, cool January night. I believe we had chocolate cake and to my dismay one of the candles’ wax melted on my finger and hurt me dearly. Now let’s fast forward about 13 years to the modern day. This weather app slowed down my phone when I first downloaded it, I was in the middle of an online poker game and I placed my entire college savings account on the line. I could feel beads of sweat running down my forehand, hands shaking uncontrollably and the only thing to take my mind of this senseless poker game was the weather. Since the app slowed down my phone on initial start up it kicked me out of the lobby during a hand I was inevitably going to lose thus wasting my entire life’s savings for college. Thank you PA weather action I sure learned my lesson.

I’ve been following PA Weather for years and was happy to see the app go live. I’m quite happy with the app in whole. The accuracy of the forecasts along with the ability to have a quick loading radar map makes this app stand out when comparing it to other apps. The up to the minute forecast is uncanny accurate! Since this app started I’ve stopped watching the TV weather. This is the app for me! Well done!
