We in the North can only hope the delicate Apple Car will safely pull over and stop working when Apple Weather App sees a down-to-the-minute forecast of 3 inches of snow or more. 😉
Too bad you can’t enlarge the print so you can read it easier. Nice program but it’s annoying to have to get closer to the screen to read it on the desk top. The App Store has the same problem. Changing screen resolution would just mess up everything else. Maybe someday.
Control-zoom on the Mac to zoom into any spot on the screen.
— meant to type control-scroll up to zoom in
Found that shortcut plus a few others will only work if you enable them in System Settings in Accessibility – Zoom. The only drawback, mild as it is, if you are using two displays, both displays will zoom in unison. Still would be nicer to be able to zoom the individual app but this work around is helpful. Thanks.
I’m prefer the UI of Dark Sky for iPhone over Apple’s incarnation of it. I live in the north. Right now it’s snowing outside. Finding predicted snow fall and likely hours through the day for precipitation is immediately seen in Dark Sky app. I still haven’t found it in Apple’s app. Also, the Dark Sky map shows the area of snow falling at this moment. Apple’s app is showing nothing. As I’m typing, Dark Sky messaged me an update on the snow fall. Apple’s app sent no message even though notifications is set up. It’s a dark day anticipating the ending of Dark Sky.
Apple deleted “precipitation probability”. Metric units are not available. Dark Sky data was easily available with less app interactions than Apple.
Apple should have just changed the name.
Another coding failure by Apple, whose focus is more on news and entertainment, than engineering skills
Biggest complaint is that data is displayed in crudely drawn squiggles or bar graphs instead of numeric values – Huge Fail
