Ratings and reviews

Just downloaded to try it out. Excellent so far. Great UI/UX and plenty of features and functionality. Been looking for something like this for a while. Will save me having to browse ad-infested weather websites each day for the forecast!

Had issues with the app due to a setting in Bartender. Derek and Jason sorted me out in the end and I’m back to seeing Forecast Bar as my weather guide of choice.

I used to love this app - but the update in early May 2026 caused it to stop working completely. Fails with Sequoia and later. Have written the developer multiple times with no response or acknowledgement, which mirrors what many others have also said here. Shame as it was a good app.

Love this app on my mac desktop. (Though haven’t tried on mobile). Visually attractive, great provision for user configuration. So easy for a quick glance or more of a delve

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.)

Update - Sept 2025 - it started working again. FWIW many of my settings reset to default. (Not a big deal, just a heads up for anyone else). My original review, below for historical purposes: When it does work the app is great. Starting in mid August 2025 it has stopped working. The app starts and crashes immediately. I’ve done all of the obvious uninstalls/reinstalls etc and it still crashes. I tried to contact the developer, but they are not responding. I don’t think the app has been updated in several years. If they fix it, I will delete this review and give it thumbs up. It’s a good app when it works.

August 27th - app won’t work anymore.

Installed it but did never run. No menu bar item. Clicking on the app does nothing. Dissapointing.

Honestly very good lots of options !! We can almost customize everything I love apps that allow this level of customization. I think I would like a more modern design option like an improvement of the transparent style but with more rounded corners and a better structure (for the top and bottom bar).

Very elegant, can be quite informative, but the localisaton is poor - i’ve gotten wet many times on 100% dry days - a couple of times hailed on when its 7-8C I won’t be renewing either my iOS setapp sub or the Forecast bar subs (they’re not included - another £25 pa)

New 11 rewrite is so far very nice. A very good refresh and still functional for those of us on older OSs.

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

Since the update to 5.8.9 a few days ago, the app no longer starts. A Finder message with the text "The application Forecast Bar.app can not be opened" and a number "6" and an "OK" button is displayed

Si l’idée est bonne, les traductions en français laissent clairement à désirer, ainsi que les options de personnalisation. Mise à jour le 27/08 : impossible de lancer l’application suite à une mise à jour. Bref, à jeter pour a part.

Man, garbage on the pure fact alone that it pops a modal about bartender settings that darkens the screen, isn’t dismissable, wants you to change bartender settings for it, and won’t go away until you do - but makes it impossible to do so. Try your own software peeps. This is obnoxious.

This has been an auto-install for a long time but the past year has been unstable, not working at all most of the time. Fix it or remove it from Setapp.

Tghe best Weather app on the NET. Congratulations guys on a superb app

Doesn’t work with MacOS 26. Been months. Developer not interested anymore I guess.

A fine, well-featured weather app.

A few days ago, the app stopped working. After launching, it immediately closes. I tested it on two devices (MacMini M1 and MacBook Air (Intel)).
