User Reviews

Highway Weather is praised as a road-trip weather planner with real-time updates and usable radar data, helping users avoid storms. Recurrent downsides include unreliable in-drive updates, occasional crashes/white screens, persistent subscription/purchase issues, and a sometimes clunky UI/navigation.
Pros
  • Valuable for planning road trips and avoiding bad weather.
  • Real-time weather updates while traveling.
  • Radar/forecast data is useful and generally reliable for current conditions.
  • UI is relatively simple and not cluttered with extraneous information.
Cons
  • Forecasts do not reliably update while driving and may not reflect current conditions along the route.
  • App can crash or freeze, including white-screen failures after updates.
  • Subscription/purchase handling is inconsistent, with issues like needing to refresh purchases or problems with added options.
  • UI/navigation can feel clunky or non-intuitive, making some features hard to access (exits from forecasts, navigation between screens).

Developer has obviously stopped updating and app no longer works. Takes forever to load “see forecasts” and has no options to exit the forecasts to return to the search screen. It’s a shame… I really liked this app.

I’ve used this app for several years, and it just gets better and better. I first used it when driving commercially, OTR. Now retired I use it with a RV. The couple corrections I’ve submitted to the developer were performed quickly and they were great to work with each time.

Sparse and rigid to navigate through, I purchased the monthly license and what was indicated as a 7 day trial. This was to be able to adjust departure times and view a 12 hr forecast. This app doesn’t offer a a trial, you are billed regardless. Even with the purchase, the features are sub par. You’re better off with the Apple weather app.
