Detailed Review

What The Forecast?!! by Byzantine Apps represents a distinctive approach to weather applications, combining meteorological accuracy with irreverent humor. The 2018 People's Choice Webby Award winner distinguishes itself in the crowded weather app market through personality-driven forecasting that maintains technical reliability while delivering entertainment value. The application's core functionality centers around its extensive library of over 12,000 descriptive weather commentaries that translate standard meteorological data into colorful, often sarcastic assessments of current conditions. These descriptions range from practical warnings about precipitation to humorous observations about particularly unpleasant weather patterns. The app maintains standard weather features including temperature readings, precipitation forecasts, and severe weather alerts while wrapping this data in accessible, entertaining packaging. User experience prioritizes simplicity with a clean interface that immediately displays the humorous forecast alongside traditional weather metrics. The design facilitates quick weather checks while encouraging social sharing through its memorable descriptions. Real-world usage patterns suggest users frequently consult the app both for practical planning purposes and for the entertainment value of its commentary, creating a dual-purpose utility that serves functional and recreational needs simultaneously. User feedback consistently highlights the app's ability to combine reliability with entertainment. Reviewer catfleming (July 11, 2025) notes the app 'never fails to give me a laugh and something to share with my friends,' while ClaudyPod (June 19, 2025) appreciates receiving 'ballpark weather forecasts' while 'giggling at the same time.' Multiple reviewers including MarciaColver (July 5, 2025) specifically mention the app's consistent ability to generate amusement during routine weather checks. The application's primary strength lies in its successful marriage of accurate weather data with engaging presentation, though the humor-centric approach may not suit users preferring strictly professional meteorological reporting. The app excels for casual users seeking both weather information and entertainment, particularly those who appreciate sarcastic commentary and social sharing capabilities. While comprehensive enough for daily planning, professional meteorologists or users requiring highly technical data might find the presentation style overly casual for serious weather analysis.

My goto app for a giggle. 😂 Thank you for the "tap temp to change C/F"!!! I grew up with Celsius (logical) but now live in the US with Fahrenheit (weird). My app is always set to C but when someone here asks me about temperatures, I always have to go to settings to change it - and then again to change it back. Annoying. Your app makes that so easy!🤓 Give the guy who made this happen a raise! 👏 Thank You My goto app for a giggle. 😂Thank you for the "tap temp to change C/F"!!!I grew up with Celsius (logical) but now live in the US with Fahrenheit (weird).

Love this app simply because it forecasts and describes the weather like I feel it, not like a meteorologist who has to sugar coat it and use appropriate language. This is weather described as wildly inappropriate as the weather itself. Love it!
