Inside the settings, Forecast Bar lets you customize things like units, language and the look of the icons, and while I wouldn’t mind things like a dark mode or the ability to change the current conditions image, I was more than content with the options. I spent more time browsing past dates than actually checking the forecast, and if you’re a weather junkie, it’s worth the $2 download for this feature alone. Sadly, you can’t span the globe for precipitation without visiting the settings to change your location, but watching storms form and dissipate in a single place is no less mesmerizing.Įqually enthralling is its implementation of Forecast.io’s Time Machine feature, allowing you to see the weather on a specific date decades into the past or future. Tap the satellite button in the top right to see a 10-day moving stretch of radiant blues, pinks, and yellows. Like the Mac app, Forecast Bar for iPhone is powered by Forecast.io, which means it delivers super-accurate data and also features the same gorgeous radar map found in the Dark Sky app.

Once again, Forecast Bar shines here, packing an array of information into a small space without it feeling cramped or cluttered. Tapping on a day expands it to show a chart displaying one of four details: precipitation, wind speed, humidity or UV index, along with cloud cover and temperature. Returning to the main page, you’ll see a seven-day forecast below the today box, with icons and temperatures accompanied by a brief but useful text summary.
