Pros and cons of Weather Office+ app for iPhone and iPad
Weather Office+ app good for
Simple, useful access to Environment Canada weather forecasting and alerts.
Overall, this is my preferred app for Canadian weather. What stops it from getting 5 stars are the following usability issues:
1. Font size is too small. Especially difficult against the daytime background. If jammed for space, I suggest opening a detail screen for each day.
2. Only using 6 hours of the 24 hour forecast info. Please make it all available. I’d be happy scrolling through a table - which makes it clearer than trying to put everything on one graphing surface as well.
3. Make better use of screen real estate for radar. Right now, limited to width of the iPhone screen and doesn’t get any better in landscape mode. Makes it very difficult to use at a glance without zooming in and panning around.
This app is good to have when you need a link with Environment Canada!
I love this app. I use it every day. I love how you can easily keep track of the weather in various locations. Very accurate up-to-date forecast.
My go to weather app for accuracy. However after the last upgrade too many weather alerts or weather statements. You open the alert up and there is no alert for your city. Please fix.
I like the reliability of the environment Canada forecast.. Would recommend..
Some bad moments
V3.0.0 will not start. Not a good way to launch a new version guys.
I purchased this app because it claimed to have the weather for cities in Canada- well I wasted my money since there is no info on Winnepeg. Whats up with that?
