2025 Editor's Rating

The renowned U.S. weather application, Wx, which was recognized as a Mac Gem by Macworld magazine, is now accessible on iPad! Wx provides current weather conditions, forecasts, alerts, and radar information for U.S. locations by utilizing precise XML data from the U.S. National Weather Service. The application caters to two main customer segments: individuals dedicated to monitoring weather intricacies seeking detailed information and those looking for a swift, sleek, and operational weather app with minimal memory usage and low CPU/battery consumption.

Wx permits users to select their location on an integrated map, enabling personalized forecasts based on latitude and longitude coordinates. The forecasts consist of a 7-day summary "point" forecast and a 7-day "pro" forecast that outlines various parameters such as temperature, dew point, humidity, cloud coverage, wind speed, and precipitation details. These forecasts prove to be highly beneficial for planning work schedules, sports activities, hobbies, and outdoor pursuits based on forthcoming weather conditions. The point and pro forecasts offer superior accuracy in coastal and mountainous areas compared to standard zone forecasts.

Moreover, Wx users can access real-time data from diverse NWS observation sites (with over 1700 locations across the U.S.), view radar readings from nearby NEXRAD sites, and receive alerts from city- and county-based warning zones.

Furthermore, Wx enables the bookmarking of weather maps for swift referrals. Users can choose from a wide array of default NWS maps or incorporate custom URLs to load preferred maps directly into the application. Additionally, users can integrate their preferred weather providers' maps and images into Wx for easy access.

Noteworthy is the meticulous design of Wx by an experienced software developer with 29 years in the field, including 15 years specializing in weather software for OS X and 12 years dedicated to iOS app development. Wx incorporates multiple layers of redundancy to seamlessly manage extreme weather scenarios that may strain NWS servers. It also provides network configuration options for Wi-Fi and cellular connections to enable users to optimize the app's performance according to their bandwidth requirements.

For Mac users interested in a desktop version of Wx, the OS X variant is available on the Mac App Store. iPhone users can explore the Wx app tailored for iPhone devices on iTunes.
