Long time photographer, and when I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to check more data and detailed forecasts, this is great. Bought lifetime to support and also just because yay, no subscription! Price may be steep to some for lifetime, but hey, the days of one-time purchases are gone, so the developer even giving us an option is great. Subscription prices are definitely reasonable, too. One thing I’d ask for is (contradicting my own review) for a bit more data. I can hop into one of my many weather apps and see exactly why a sunrise/sunset is going to be good/bad, but sometimes, it’d be nice to get the breakdown of info in the app. Next, a page layout for locations. Obviously, conditions don’t vary much over the course of a couple miles, but as someone who regularly makes trips halfway across Texas (which is many hundreds of miles), conditions vary greatly, and it’d be great to just swipe between pages for each location. For example Houston, Austin, and Dallas… Really no complaints about the app, especially considering this is made by one person. Polish you rarely see nowadays. Much love and respect from a fellow nerd. 🙏 Lastly, I’d love a combo large widget, with times AND quality forecasts on it. We have a large times widget, but I’d love to see a large one that combines quality forecasts and times. Would be so nice, so useful, and undoubtedly beautifully designed. Please! :)

I was so excited after finding this app, but after almost a year of using it I’ve found it can do more harm than good. I cant tell you how many times I’ve seen Good or Great as the forecast a few days out that gradually get reduced to fair or poor. Seriously 90%+ of those that ive seen ended up dropping to fair or poor. Then on the flipside there have been some absolutely killer sunsets when the apps forecast said poor or fair. What prompted me to write this was the other night. It had been raining all afternoon and was going to clear up about an hour before sunset, and more often than not thats a recipe for a crazy one. I left home but forgot my drone, was trying to decide whether I should turn around or go. Looked at the app and it said “20% poor.” Of course then I missed one of the best sunsets ive seen in this city with a crazy rainbow. Its my fault, my instinct was that it was going to be good but the app nudged me the other way. My advice is to use this as a quick look to see what theyre forecasting, then check the weather yourself. If it rains all day and clears up towards the evening, be ready!

I tried to edit my 2 star review. I initially gave it two stars because I was not hearing back from AlpenGlow support. However, they were trying very hard and they found me via twitter and asked if I was the 2 star review and wanted to help resolve my issues. Within minutes we connected and got my issues resolved. So. Great App/Great support. They went above and beyond to find me when the messages from the apple store were not reaching me for whatever reason.
