Macworld Review: "The most impressive aspect of WxFix Standard is how much power it packs into what are now standard weather app features...WxFix gets just about everything right."
WeatherFix (formerly WxFix) is the first mobile weather application that delivers you a forecast for anywhere on the planet. Integrating the most advanced weather forecast technology from Global Weather Corp. with a rich, dynamic mobile interface, WeatherFix enables you to store and monitor as many locations as you want, anywhere on the globe.
Features:
• Location aware using GPS, Cell Network or WiFi - Dynamic find and follow, updating your weather forecast every 3 kilometers (Patent Pending) - If iPhone can’t locate you, enter your city, zip code or other location description in the new pop up window
• Hourly forecast by location, up to 24 hours • Hour forecast includes 9 weather variables • 6 day forecast by tapping on screen • High resolution local-area Doppler radar (where available) - Full zoom and pan to show any number of locations - Change resolution and loop speed
• Get weather forecast anywhere on Planet Earth - Drag and drop the pin on your desired location (Patent Pending) - Use the search bar to quickly find your desired location
• Create and store personal favorite pin locations by dropping pins on the map, or from your contacts list - Personalize favorites with your iPhone photos - Personalize favorite with a screen shot - Share favorites via Bluetooth with another WxFix user - Share your favorite forecast via email with anyone - Receive NWS severe weather alerts for your favorites
• Search tool will quickly find your favorite locations - Search for Time Square, Disney World, an address, etc...
Unlike existing weather apps that locate you in a generalized area, like a city or zip code, and then provide forecasts for weather reporting stations that may be miles away, WeatherFix combines precise location finding with a geo-spatial "grid" forecast model derived from a variety of weather data sources. As a result, you get forecasts essentially for your exact location – even when you’re moving, and for the precise locations you want to monitor.
Whether it’s at home, on the job site, in your tractor, on the golf course, at the beach, or even on a mountaintop, WeatherFix Lifestyle Weather is "Your Life in a Weather App - at the Drop of a Pin."
Note: Local Doppler radar is currently available in the US. Other radar feeds around the world are coming soon. Regional radar and country mosaics are also in development, will be available in Spring, 2010. 2010 Eelios, Inc.

Nice Start This is a good app. It could be cleaned up just a bit, i.e., there is no need for a maps button and a radar button - these should be integrated. If it could combine Fizz Weather's style with this functionality, then we would have a 5 star app. Please add an extended forecast (10 or 15 day) and do something about the ground clutter showing up on the radar on a clear day. All that said, this is a nice start and worth the $. Four stars.

Golfer Truly amazing resolution, and the pin drop and movement on the map is awesome. I dropped a pin on the first tee of my golf club and got the weather forecast for the next 4 hours. Would like to see the map and radar views integrated, but you have to try this app.

My default weather app I love this weather app. When I travel I don't have to think of where I am at and add it, the app just knows where I am at. Elegant design for current forecasts with just enough information there. The hour by hour forecast is awesome. It took me a while to "get" putting in favorites and the map, but once I did I use it all the time.During stormy seasons, the radar is beautiful and fast. I don't need another app or to go to the web to get the radar, love it.

Parlee Nice app. Took me a while to figure it out, but I like the way it locates you automatically. Also the pin drop is pretty cool, but not obvious. Like the way I got the weather forecast just moving the pin around.

A Weather Station in the Palm of Your Hand The WxFix application drives innovation to a new pinnacle above the clouds and way above other similar software merchandise. The preeminent feature, the ability to access the local weather conditions with in seconds gives anyone not tied to a television set or radio the edge in prepping for the weather conditions when on the go. The Doppler Radar resolution performs well up to par on the Apple I Touch. Not too difficult for a layman to navigate around this software product’s landscape. The Drop Pin and Favorites aspect of the software adds a bonus to an otherwise outstanding app.

Great early wx app Good resolution model data gives you pinpoint accuracy. I like the integrated method of pulling up the week's forecast. Saves favorites from your contact list. Radar may be best potential feature but map background should be subdued so the radar data is more visible. I like it!

Top Notch This is by far the best weather app out there. The functionality is a breeze, not to mention the sunny graffics. Wxfix weather app is the only way to go when you need that on the spot forcast update. It came in really handy while I was golfing, checked the radar and was relived to see the lightning and rain was going to slide right by. Thanks Eelios, great work!

Accurate , slick and yet simple I first started with WxFix Lite and liked it so much I upgraded to this version. Its well worth the money & has the most unique and usefull feature in being able to drop pins on the map to receive an accurate forecast for that location. I'm excited about the future of this app.

Impressive start, needs refinements The app itself is by far a better idea than the rest of the weather apps. I live in the Omaha metro area(same pictured in the previews) and really tried putting this gps based forecast to the test. The result... It works very well.
Things to improve on..
-On a clear day, I am getting radar clutter, maybe turn back the intensity.
-push notifications
- satelite view besides radar
- customizable start screen
- ability to turn off the map view lat/long tag( so you just have the currents)
- customizable accelerometer pages... Shake to maps...shake to warnings..
- more options to customize and refine...this is definitely a diamond with a few more cuts to be made.
In all I love that an Omaha based company is bringing something different to the table that will change the way we look at our weather. Great start guys!

WxFix Radar Rocks! I live in a state where the weather changes very suddenly. This is the first weather application I have ever used that actually gives a forcast for my current location. It has been incredibly accurate and I am very impressed with the technology. I also have received alerts quickly and I will use this weather application in place of watching the news. I was in a major storm and downstairs in my basement, I watched the radar as the storm came over me directly and passed. I was able to come out of my basement knowing I was safe. Thank you WxFix!

WxFix is the absolute best on the app store Because I work outside on mulitple job sites, my work depends on weather conditions. I enjoy being abe to drop a pin at each jobsite and I can schedule my jobs accordingly. It has been a big time saver for me and I highly reccomend it to anyone who is dependant on knowing what the weather will be at the drop of a pin.

Best Weather App I really love this App! I usally don't go for apps I have to pay for. I've tried all the free weather apps from the big name players, but none of them captured the ease of use, and slick interface that WxFix has. The drag and drop functionality always gives you pin point current weather from locations that you pick, not predetermined ones. I can view weather at my house, my work, or where I'm going to hike at this weekend. The animated radar is a nice feature too. And its one of the few weather apps that allows you to finger swipe or double tap for additional information. My only complaint is that I don't dig the vibration when you go to view the Alerts. Summary: Great personalized weather app, worth the price, I'm happy with my purchase.

Unless you live on another planet, you need this app! I work outside in Colorado. Although we get 300+ days of sunshine I need to know *exactly* what expect and *when* to expect it. This app is my only source when it comes to trusting a forecast. The radar map alone is totally and priceless, in my opinion. Bravo!!
