The app hasn't been updated in close to two years with its last one making it compatible with iOS 7, some bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features. It scores very highly with users who have given it 4.5 out of five stars. Users enjoy just how easy it is to access a seven-day forecast and appreciate that it's not just for land but also for water.

The app supports weather conditions for over 130,000 cities around the world, you can mark locations as favorites, you can have the app "follow me" so it always finds where you are and delivers those weather conditions, and this app is available in a whopping 38 different languages.
