MEGADOPPLER - ABC7 LA Weather app review: dedicated weather forecasting for Los Angeles residents

Reviews

Introduction

If you happen to live in Los Angeles then you’re going to absolutely love this powerful app which provides up to seven days of weather forecasting in addition to live radar map imagery, Push notifications for severe weather conditions, and much more.

The best iPad apps for weather

This is a great addition to the Weather category of the App Store, and although this iPhone app doesn’t feature the most original interface design I’ve ever come across, it definitely does its job with flying colors.

MEGADOPPLER only offers seven days' worth of forecasts as opposed to the 10 days which are usually offered in comparable apps; however, I think this is a worthwhile trade off for such a high-quality development overall.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Los Angeles

MEGADOPPLER - ABC7 LA Weather enables you to save up to three different locations within the interface so that you can more quickly and easily access the information you need on a day-to-day basis.

You can also use your iPhone or iPad’s integrated GPS to instantly find your current location so that you can always grab the meteorological reports you need while on the go. The forecasts themselves are available in three basic formats, depending on what kind of approach you prefer.

If you like a more visual medium then the Live Radar section is great as it offers Doppler radar imagery, displaying rain, snow, and other weather fronts as they make their way across your region. You can also share these weather maps with your friends and family online via Facebook, Twitter, and email.

 

View Seven Days' of Weather Forecasts

If you live in an area of LA that is particularly susceptible to nasty weather conditions then you’ll definitely want to look at the Severe Weather Outlook section. In here you’ll find a three-day forecast from the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma.

As if that wasn’t enough, this app also offers live streaming and archived video footage from the ABC7 studios, and direct feeds to the ABC7 Facebook and Twitter pages so that you can always stay well on top of the latest developments for your area.

Final Words

MEGADOPPLER - ABC7 LA Weather should prove more than adequate for those of you who live in the Los Angeles region.

Although you’re not able to save infinite locations or access 10 days of forecasting, I think the other functionality more than makes up for this, so I would still definitely recommend taking this app for a spin on your iPhone or iPad to see what you think.
