I like the clean layout and line graph display of the forecast. In combination with other favorite weather apps Mercury provides an intuitive display and nice widget options. The trip planning forecast is a nice addition—though it would be helpful if the temp display on the main city list showed high & low for the day so you could understand generally what the day was like to help with planning and packing. When a trip approaches within the week the weather for the travel city is spliced into the forecast. Monthly average temperature graph (premium feature) is very useful. It’s unfortunate that the app lacks radar, but the iOS weather app and many others fill in this gap. I think the design could be improved if some of the elements were made more compact, for example, the search/globe icon in the top right takes up a whole line of vertical space in the top of the app which essentially leaves a blank bar at the top and pushes the forecast at the bottom below the fold (for standard sized iPhones). That blank space at the top could be filled with glyphs and small widgets to give glanceable weather data for the day. I also think the hourly graph should display the day when it crosses over midnight.

I like that I can have this app displayed as widgets showing current weather, hourly weather and 7 day forecast. With but one glance available across multiple devices I can get all the information I need. Weather alerts are detailed and prominently displayed if needed and I love the fact I can have numerous other locations available, again with just a glance. The price and the lack of radar maps reduced it to a 4 star rating imo, but this is one solid weather app. Despite the price and it being without maps, this app was still good enough for me to do the switch and become my full primary weather app. Try it.

I have a road trip starting in a couple days, so decided to try out the new “trip weather” feature. I added in the cities for the first 6 days of the trip. But the “trip view” screen that lists each city just shows the *current* temperature in each of the cities. I would prefer to at least see the high-low temperature for each day in each city, so it could be used as an easy reference when deciding how to pack. I realize I can tap on the transportation icons above each day on the main screen, but the “trip” screen seems like it could be more useful. I realize this is a new feature, so maybe there’s more to come.
