What to weigh
Weather forecasts for a specific place
NOAA Weather & Tides provides current conditions and seven-day forecasts for your location or places you choose around the world. Its forecasts come from NOAA’s National Weather Service and are tied to map points, making the app suited to people who want more than a broad city-level forecast.
Useful tools for planning outside
- Hourly forecasts for a closer look at changing conditions
- Map-based views for finding weather at another location
- Animated radar, cloud cover, precipitation and wind imagery
- Hazardous weather alerts and current-conditions notifications
- Saved locations for quick access to frequently checked places
Tides and everyday access
The tide feature uses NOAA tide stations in the United States, so it is more relevant to US coastal users than to people looking for worldwide tide coverage. A home-screen widget provides forecast information without opening the full app, while tablet support and light and dark Material themes cover different screen sizes and viewing preferences. A Wear OS app is also available, including a temperature complication and forecast tile.
What the numbers say
With a 4.36 rating from 13,410 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs, the app has a substantial usage history rather than a rating based on only a small group of users. It is developed by Pandamonium Software. Ads are present, with an in-app purchase available to remove them. Choose it if NOAA-based point forecasts, weather maps and US tide information matter more to you than a minimal forecast-only interface.
