They seem to be upsetting a lot of Android users by charging £2.99 a year for it as a subscription model.
Personally I don't mind since I've been using forecast.io for years and it's invaluable when planning to walk the dog without getting caught in a downpour.
- soylentcola 10y agoYeah, this is why I didn't buy the app when it came to Android. I've got friends on iOS who swear by it so I was psyched to see it hit the Play Store. But when I saw it was a recurring bill, I just stuck with 1Weather or Weather Timeline. I guess there's just a point where I can get weather info (sometimes from the same source, as in Weather Timeline) for a few bucks one time. And if it's a service that requires constant funding, I understand that. But it doesn't make sense that I have to keep paying while many friends just paid their $4 one time. I think it's that different approach that turned me off to it regardless of how good the product was. Is it enough of an improvement over other apps (even ones that use forecast.io) to be worth a subscription fee instead of a one-time payment of $4 or $5?
