User Reviews

Wx Almanac is valued for accessing weather history with a clean, ad-free UI. Reviewers highlight its simple design and the historical data it provides. However, reliability is a major concern, with multiple reports of crashes or the app failing on newer iOS versions and some devices. A few users also note it isn’t supported in their setup. Overall, the app delivers its core history feature when it runs, but stability issues hinder consistent use.

Pros

Clear, simple, user-friendly interface
Free app (no ads)

Cons

Frequent crashes or not working on newer iOS versions and devices
Not supported / doesn’t work on some setups

I have downloaded it twice and I can’t get it to work. All it will do is crash.

App crashes with newer IOS updates and iPhones. Sad days

This is the only free app I could find that gives weather history, to answer questions like “How much rain did we get last week?”. It provides weather history for any single day, or a chart for any one-week period. The app is clear and simple, and works well. It would be nice if the developer would add the capability to show longer periods (a month, perhaps), and climate averages for comparison (Was last week unusually cold and rainy?). I give it five stars.
