After manually inputting my location, a whole bunch of weather data pops up. Other weather apps have used Core Location without a problem. Unfortunately, that is the only good I have to say about it.ДЄs part of the set up process it asks to access location services to determine your local weather - which it failed to do. Other reviewers are correct when they say this app is gorgeous, the graphics and weather details are outstanding. I've now bought it for my iPad and iPhone. But while it does more than so many it still doesn't match up to Forecast Bar. My standby, Weatherman, does use much less. The hit on resources is as little as any other weather app that does anything substantial. I had tried it a few times but there was always something about it, especially the active map and the high CPU/RAM hit.

But I continued to want I it all in one app! The above is a roundabout way of saying Forecast Bar is easily the best Mac weather app at the moment. WeatherUnderground, local news affiliate weather, etc.). I found myself merely using the menubar function and relying on web-based weather (e.g. More, it does not give my second most desired feature - hourly forecasts. I find a decent, if not excellent radar function to be essential. I have tried so many weather apps over the years, even paying for more than a few.

Given a lack of full open disclosure of pricing contact info other than an email address, or the company behind it there is no way I will consider using this App. Additionally they collect data regarding the use of the App and the only way to opt out is to not use the App. Nowhere in my research did I find any information about the companies behind the App or magazine or where they are located. Clicking on a link for the Mac version of the App on the parent companies website took me to a website of an on-line avant garde magazine that supports the app features for which a subscription cost $50/year. My research also indicates it is also focused on games as 'games' is in the parent companies title. Based on its URL it does seem to be a non-US company. The only information provided is a single email address. There is no information about the company anywhere or where it is located. This is a multiple device App but you must purchase a separate subscription for each device. It does show a short term subscription of $.50 for one month but no indication if that can be renewed. Some pricing is present on the App store but the subscription ($4) does not indicate the subscription term (month, year). First of all it is a paid subscription app but nowhere on their website could I find any pricing and had to dig to find out it was subscription based.
