If you need a weather app that balances simplicity with depth, Hello Weather delivers. It lets you pick your data source—a huge plus for accuracy—and its customizable interface means you see only what matters to you. Perfect for daily planning or keeping an eye on severe conditions without clutter.

My Full Experience

I’ve been using Hello Weather for about three years now, and honestly, it’s become my daily driver for checking forecasts. The recent redesign really stepped things up—it feels smoother, more intuitive, and packed with useful details without feeling overwhelming. One thing I love is the ability to switch between weather providers like AccuWeather, Apple Weather, or others, which is super handy when one source seems off for your area. For instance, before heading out for a hike, I cross-check using different sources right in the app—no need to jump between apps. The customization is where it shines. You can choose what data to display: temperature, precipitation chance, humidity, even new additions like air quality and allergens. I keep mine pretty minimal—just temps and rain chances—but my partner has everything turned on for her gardening routine. The radar is solid too, though I’ll admit the future precipitation view took a little getting used to after the update. It’s not flawless—some users mentioned minor quirks like settings not sticking initially, but those seem resolved now. And while it might not replace hyper-specialized apps for storm chasers, for most everyday uses—commuting, travel, outdoor plans—it’s more than enough. The paid version (which I sprung for) removes ads and unlocks all data sources, and it’s totally worth it if you rely on weather info regularly.

Key Features

  • Choose your weather data source (e.g., AccuWeather, Apple)
  • Highly customizable display showing only what you need
  • Detailed radar with hourly precipitation percentages

Why Users Love It

No data collection or ads in paid version
Responsive developers who listen to feedback

Perfect for: Ideal for anyone who wants reliable, customizable weather info without clutter or hype.

I've been using this app for years. I love the straightforward design, and the ability to source different weather providers (paid version) helps me stay well-informed before making important weather decisions. The app was just updated. I didn't think it could get any better! It’s fantastic! Wow! I've been using this app for years.

App Update! Don't know how many years I've been using HW Pro at this point but the update is AMAZING! Hard work definitely paid off. My original review noted that there weren't data for allergens and air quality but this addition is very helpful. The new UI is intuitive (just give it a sec) and the customization makes it as crisp and clean, or as maximalist and informative, as you'd like. Alert and update notifications allow me to turn off my obnoxious local weather station notifications. Very old review: This app is really simple and really well laid out. It shows me everything I need to know and none of the extra stuff. The writers have some fun humor and who couldn't love the icon?? Pro tip: (I actually may be the last to know about this) tap the high temps for the week to see the low temps! If you need allergy info or a bunch of news, radars and ads and such, probably look elsewhere. But if you're like me and need the temp and when it'll rain, this app is definitely worth a good look Perfection! App Update!

This is an exceptional weather app. I purchase multiple weather apps and with this update, will drop a few of them because Hello Weather is accurate (pick your source), complete with so much information, and all wrapped up in a simply beautiful visual!! Congrats to the developers on this one! I have had the Lifetime Subscription and so happy I committed years ago. Keep up the awesome work! Oh and - check out all the data they collect. Nada!🎉 Fantastic new version!

I’ve been using Hello Weather as my main app since DarkSky was removed. It felt kinda clunky, but it worked and I liked it better than most other apps. But this update REALLY made a huge leap forward in usability and polish! Huge props to y’all for all of your hard work! The new app is fluid and amazing 🤩 Massive improvement!!!
