Forecast Bar features


Get weather details live

Find out live weather in an instant to know what to wear. Have a glance at the detailed weather overview, what it feels like, wind, humidity, as well as the UV index chart. The app also offers an animated compass. Finally, continuous background updates deliver the most recent weather conditions you can trust.


Check on extended forecasts

Confidently plan your day, weekend, or the whole week with the weather outlook option. Enjoy your outdoor activities at the right time and never get into the rain again. Most importantly, pack appropriately for your trips by checking on weather conditions at all destinations.


Receive daily weather reports

Wake up knowing what you are about to face throughout your day with a personalized weather report automatically delivered to you each morning. That way you only have to check the app to get the specifics. Additionally, you can also put the app in your Today widget and get all the necessary information at a glance.


Customize the weather panel and language

Configure as many locations in Forecast Bar’s resizable panel as you wish and effortlessly switch between them with a few keyboard shortcuts. Fine-tune your map to see all the overlays, set your preferred language out of the 18 available, and easily change any other settings to your liking.


Travel on the weather time machine

Check the weather up to 70 years in the past or future with a single click. See how the weather has been changing over decades and what the predictions say now. This Forecast Bar functionality is indispensable for journalists or researchers writing articles and reports. And a good fun too!


Don’t spend time on sync or updates

Treat Forecast Bar as your ultimate weather assistant that’s always there doing its work. The app automatically updates to new versions and sources the latest weather conditions. What’s more, Forecast Bar uses iCloud syncing so that all your settings across iOS, Apple TV, and Mac are exactly the same.

    App version: 5.8.11

    It is failing to open right when I need it most. What good is a weather app if it dies during bad weather? (Perhaps because it is getting more requests than it can handle.)

    App version: 5.8.8

    Used for many years, but today it stopped working. It starts and closes immediately, reinstalling the app or restarting mac doesn’t help. It may be that app wasn’t updated for few years or its servers stopped working UPD: it started working again after few days. When it’s working the app is good, with helpful weather insights
