The venerable U.S. weather app Wx, named a Mac Gem by Macworld magazine, is now available for iPhone! Wx displays current conditions, forecasts, alerts, and radar for U.S. locations using high fidelity XML data from the U.S. National Weather Service. The app is designed for two specific types of customers: serious weather watchers who want detailed information and facts with no fuss, and casual users who want a fast, clean, and functional weather app that has low memory overhead and low CPU/battery usage. Wx lets you choose your location on an embedded map, and uses that to setup custom forecasts based on the latitude and longitude of the location. Forecasts include a 7-day summary "point" forecast, and a 7-day “pro” forecast that graphs temperature (actual and apparent), dew point, relative humidity, cloud cover, wind speed, wind direction, gust speed, 12-hour probability of precipitation, 6-hour liquid precipitation amount, and 6-hour snow amount. These forecasts are about as good as it gets if you need to plan work, sports, hobbies, and outdoor activities based on upcoming weather. With their high spatial resolution, the point and pro forecasts are especially useful in coastal and mountainous regions, where typical zone forecasts can be inaccurate. Wx also lets you receive current conditions data from nearby NWS observation sites (over 1700 available in the U.S. and its territories), get radar data from nearby NEXRAD radar sites, and receive warnings from nearby city- and county-based alert zones. Wx lets you bookmark and setup weather maps for quick reference. Choose from some default NWS maps and images, or provide the URL for any map of your choice and load it right in the app! If you have preferred weather providers, you can load your favorite maps and images right in Wx and keep them handy. Wx is crafted with attention to detail by a professional software developer with 29 years of experience, 15 years focused on developing weather software for OS X and 12 years writing apps for iOS devices. Wx has multiple levels of redundancy to handle severe weather events that can strain NWS servers, and even offers network settings for both Wi-Fi and cellular operation so that you can fine tune the app’s performance and bandwidth needs. Wx is also available for the iPad and OS X.

This app is excellent! A huge Thank You to the developer for maintaining this app over the years. If you’re a visual person like me, the graphs are indispensable (especially dew-point), and I love that the source is straight from the NWS. The app is small but mighty, and doesn’t rely on gimmicks. 11/10 I use it all year long!

There are other apps out there with more funding and a slicker UI, but this one consistently delivers the best information.

WX is the best weather app of all time. I’ve seen dozens of apps come and go over the years and I always return to the first app I installed on my iPod all those years age: WX. Always works, easy to use, and never a request to pay for updates. (I am hoping the developer releases an update to support the new NWS radar format. I’d gladly pay 4.99 just for that)

It’s great that you can add custom map links, as this allows me to access ‘latest’ images for a lot of different less mainstream maps like GMU, SSEC, or NCAR upper air maps. However, we can only link jpegs, and it would be amazing to add functionality for animated GIFs and PDFs as well, which would open up a lot of additional options for providers that only use those formats, like many of the NOAA products like GOES, and others use. Right now when I try to use an animated GIF or PDF it just says “download error.” Nonetheless, great app, customizability is an awesome feature that the other apps don’t provide.

Wx has been updated to support the new high-resolution NWS NDFD forecast feed, which transitioned from experimental to operational status on April 17 2024. With this change, point and pro forecast data in Wx is now available over a finer spatial grid with 1.5 mile resolution (down from 3 miles). In addition, pro forecast data now offers finer 1-hour temporal resolution (down from 3 hours) for the first 36 hours, which increases the fidelity of data plotted on pro forecast graphs.
