For USA Weather only: wXL23 is a free, no-ads, and open-source ( GNU GPLv3 / APL2.0 ) advanced weather application that is geared towards storm chasers, meteorologists, and weather enthusiasts. NWS ( National Weather Service ) data is optimized for mobile format and provided for divisions not normally covered together in the mobile space: SPC, WPC, NHC, OPC, etc. Level 3 Nexrad radar (single, dual, quad pane). This weather app is not affiliated with NOAA or the National Weather Service. If you *only* need current conditions and your local 7 day forecast then this app is probably more then you need although it will easily provide those 2 things as well. If you are looking for wasted screen real estate or fancy graphics this app is not for you. Given the depth of information covered there is a steep learning curve if you seek to use the program in it's entirety, help information is available and touched on below. Common weather acronyms are used throughout so you should be familiar with those as well. Currently United States locations are supported. - Current forecast, 7 day conditions, sounding data for an unlimited number of locations from NWS. - Customizable home screen - Metal based Nexrad radar interface with numerous options. 2 pane and 4 pane version also available in MISC tab. - Optimized text product viewer for easy access to AFD, HWO and others from any NWS WFO. - Vis/IR/WV/Radar mosaic viewer ( with animations ). - SPC products (such as Watches/MCDs/Convective Outlooks/Mesoanalysis) - WPC products - Weather models - NHC products NOTE: iPhone 5s or newer required for Nexrad radar viewer.
The most comprehensive
Used it exclusively on Android and just switched to iOS. I think the android version is a bit more refined but this app still has all the info and I probably just need to get used to the slight differences. Hats off to the developer!
United StatesAmazing Tool, very underrated.
This is an amazing asset for American(USA) meteorologists. This app will have everything you need! It’s very well polished and quickly updated. I live in the NYC metro area where people want information quickly. This app allows me to look at guidance, on my phone, while I'm out of the office. I highly recommend for fellow meteorologists.
United StatesThe Greatest Weather App
I’ve tried a bunch of weather apps, but this is the only one that delivered all of the information I wanted. I initially found this app because of the radar function, and was quite glad to see that it delivers the data straight from the NWS. The forecast/current conditions from the NWS is also appreciated, as it avoids me having to navigate the clunky web interface from them. If that wasn’t enough, the wealth of products from the SPC and others is unparalleled when I want to get deeper than just the radar and forecast. One small issue I occasionally experience is only having the current conditions load (only affects one station at a time) unless I refresh it by switching to another station and back again. I’m not sure if that’s an issue on my end, the app, or the NWS’ API. Once again, thank you for this wonderful app.
United StatesUpdate
Ok so I had to change settings as I had it setup to use closest airport but for some reason it wasn’t working so changed airports and it radar started doing its magic.
United StatesFirst looks IMPRESSIVE
Finding this out was a pleasant surprise to say the least. I was amazed at the organization of all the weather sites that I normally look at individually in various YouTube videos blah blah blah. Here they are all together and easily accessible through buttons and tabs and I really like that I appreciate this app so very much. I have already told people about it in my contact circle. And I have given it the highest rating because I will be able to delete a lot of other weather apps riding along on my phone which are now seriously UNNEEDED. THIS APP AUTHOR IS A BONIFIDE PROGRAMMER.
United StatesGetting crashes when trying to look at radar.
Flipping through the frames or hitting the play button causes crashes on some types of radar display. Play button often doesn’t work either even when it doesn’t crash.
United States3 stars because…
It needs to be available for Windows 11 since I use my computer for weather forecasting.
