Mercury Weather

Keeps crashing, not native so it feels janky and slow (ported from iOS app). Good app on iOS, bad “app” on Mac. No free lunches, none, ported apps are either bad like this one or somewhat kinda ok (like Ivory) but none of them are great, none of them feel native, none of them respond well, none of them follow Mac conventions, they all smell weird.

It is a great app with great features. I love that it is available on Mac, too. Apple TV next?

Where is the radar?

Update: Thanks Kai for the quick response. No idea how I missed the tap and hold feature. Still holding on to one star awaiting the iPad update:) Also want to note that this works well on my Vision Pro! Not sure if devs actually used this on an iPad? On my 13” the app only utilizes 50% of the screen real estate- that would be okay if it was not for the fact that seeing wind details (when activated in settings) is useless on the small widget. I would have like to see the ability to tap that “widget” and have it zoom out taking up a larger space so you can actually see the values of the wind speed etc…This is true on the phone too. For now I canceled my subscription so it will not renew at the end of the year…if it improves I will sign up again.

Good so far needs more work to be Amen! 🙏🏻 best weather app

Thanks for providing actual programmer’s notes on each update! Much appreciated.

Hard to see wind speed on hourly prediction. No lightning/radar map. No air quality. The interface is very choppy even on an M3 Max. Oh, did I forget to mention… no maps at all. I think it has some good potential though.

like seriously. i’ve spent at least an hour hitting every button i can find. NOTHING changes the units

Found this on the Dev spotlight in App Store along with Orbit. Their Orbit app looks useful, but Mercury weather app seems to be an unfinished product. At least there's a free verstion, but I really don't see the point of a $15/year paid version when there are no forecasts, no weather map, no weather radar, and no severe weather alerts. Some reviews said they still have to the stock weather app because they need alerts and radar, but why bother with Mercury even if (what little of it there is) looks polished and shiny. This is no doubt a good weather app for anyone needing the very basics of weather information. Devs, if I'm wrong correct me and I'll relook at anything I've missed, but this app so far misses the mark for me.
