Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (27 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Really enjoying this app great improvements over the past few months

We've had a heat spell the last few weeks and FB has been an easy way to stay on top of all the warnings. Also like the graphics and accuracy. Worth it for sure. Much more complete than the app that came with the phone

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Price Increased and Review Nagging

I have had this app for years. They recently changed the screen layout for iPadOS and raised the price. Now, they keep nagging me for a review. Here’s your review. Now leave me alone.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
New watch complications

The new Trio watch complication is exactly what I have been looking for. It gives me temperature, dew point, and wind in a very readable format. When it comes to watch complications, I think simple is better.

★★★★★Sep 20, 2026
Upgrades/Features

The developers are extremely responsive and are adding new suggestions and features often. This app is highly customizable and pretty accurate (we know weather can change in an instant). Looking forward to seeing where this app goes in the near future.

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
By FAR the best weather app

Our extended family uses this on everything from desktop to Apple Watch. This app has it all - and in an interface that makes sense and provides a fantastic amount of detail without being overwhelming.

★★★★★Jul 23, 2026
The Best and Excellent Weather app

I’ve tried just about every weather app available for the Mac over the years, and Forecast Bar is, without question, the best weather app I’ve ever used. The menu bar integration is clean, fast, and incredibly convenient. I can see current conditions, detailed forecasts, radar, hourly and extended weather, all without opening a separate application. It’s highly customizable, lightweight, and always reliable. What really sets Forecast Bar apart is the attention to detail. The interface is beautiful, the information is accurate, and it’s obvious that the developer cares about creating a quality product. Whether I’m checking the weather for my local area or planning travel, it has become an indispensable part of my daily workflow. If you’re looking for a Mac weather app, I highly recommend Forecast Bar. It’s worth every penny and, in my opinion, it’s the best weather application available for macOS.
