Could be a useful app if it didn't take so long to load the radar image. It often takes 5 plus minutes for the image to load. While you're waiting, the app often times out which means you have to start over. Get this to load in 20-30 seconds and I'll rate it 5 stars. For now it's easier to dig my phone out and tap the Weather Channel.

Rob thanks for the suggestion. I am testing an option which should help the image load faster on the F5Plus devices. Basically I am looking to apply the same memory saving techniques on all watch devices in order to limit the image download size. Given the limited BLE link speed, I did not realize the impact even a 20k larger image had on download time until I recently got an F5Plus myself. Hopefully the next release will help decrease the load time.

Great app that takes advantage of Aeris's renewable free trial license (every 2 months) to provide local weather radar for your Garmin. Yes, it used to work with WU but it doesn't any more, but there's still an easy way to continue to use it for free if you take just a little time every 2 months to renew your free license. Given how many times this app has helped me avoid having to get rescued from violent thunderstorms, it's well worth a little effort on my part.

Great app for users outside the US and NEXRAD coverage. Weather map is easy to read. Only issue is that Level 1 zoom barely covers my needs, it would be great if a larger area zoom can be selected or if panning is available, although it is understandable if it is a limitation.

tl:DR To use this program you need to buy an Aeris developer licence for $45 a month. The "free developer key" in the description is for 2 months free service, after that you pay. I'm not happy to leave a review like this. The radar feature was invaluable over last summer to warn us of a storm bearing down on us. But this was when "Weather Underground" still offered free developer keys. They phased those out recently. The only other option is "Aeris", and they charge a LOT of money to use their service. $45 a month if I read it correctly. I have a phone app that does this for free. The convinence is outweighed by the cost, so I have to unhappily delete the app from my devices. It sucks, because I really, REALLY liked this one. If someday, down the road, WU or Aeris gets it together and allows us to access radar maps for free or a minimal cost, I'm back on board. But for right now, I can't justify the external cost and I have to give it 1 star for usefulness. Sorry dev, this isn't on you, it's on the service you have us use to use your app. You made a great app, it just sucks that it relies on a 3rd party who tightened the screws.

I understand the frustration with the third parties. With Aeris Weather, it is possible to renew the developer key when it expires at the end of 2 months with your same account and the link in the description. I agree that it is a pain but it does avoid the $45/month cost. I am continuing to look into alternatives but so far, the removal of WU has been a big hit, as i now have to remove it from the app entirely. Leaving me with only the option of Aeris Weather and their 2 month expiring key.

I'm giving it a one Star because it doesn't tell you that it's a paid subscription. It might work but not for 25 dollars a month

I have a Fenix 5X with V3.6 of the APP. I have renewed my account on AERIS website, because 0 was displayed on my Fenix and I had forgotten to renew! Bad Guy After few seconds, -2 is displayed on my Fenix and when I tried again 0, again is displayed. After few minutes, probably after the reconnection with AERIS, my Fenix has retrieved well the image. Thanks for the job

After finding the link to how to setup a Aeris account I was able to get it to work without having to pay for any kind of subscriptionsubscription. On my Vivo Active 3 it chops off the top of the image because it's a round screen so I can't tell what version the app is. I wish Weather Underground still provided free API keys but they don't so I had to go with Aeris, don't know how accurate their Radar data is or how frequently it is updated.

It's a little bit of a hassle to create an account yada yada, but follow the directions and it will work. I set it up on a forerunner and Edge 820. Worked first try on each. Like!

I have this installed on both an Edge 820 and Fenix 5S+. When it is connected it works well and connection drops between phone and device is really a Garmin/phone issue not the developer's. I have a grandfathered WU API though which I prefer over Aeris. Fortunately was able to copy the WU API developer code from my old Edge to my new watch and it works well. :)

No bueno. Don't work on my vivoactive hr with aeris Id and secret code. Watch says aeris API keys missing or invalid. I checked that all characters there and correct. Lame.

I am sorry it is not working. If you are still getting the API keys are missing or invalid, then please use the contact developer link so I can troubleshoot with you. The app is checking for a specific number of characters in each of the App ID and Secret keys. If Aeris has changed the length of their keys, I will need to make an update to the app once we work out what the fix is.

I recently downloaded the app for my Fenix 3 HR and after getting the keys and entering them in the settings and checking a few times that they were correct. I get the screen saying it's retrieving the image only to get an error code 403

I can only use the Aeris weather b/c I heard you can no longer get a key for the other one. It takes a minute or more for the map to load on my brand new Edge Explore purchased 09022018 from REI. TRying to resize an existing image is also very slow to reload over a minute. I’m hoping something can be done with compression to help with the loading issue. It would also be great if the last image could be retained when you leave and come back to the widget. It looks like it reloads every time. Thanks. Mike

I have decided that I always want to trust that you have the latest available information, and with caching the image, I have not worked out a way that I am comfortable that you can trust the data is fresh. Thus a fresh download every time. When the image is resized everything you see besides the text is provided by the weather service thus a new download. As far as download speed, there is no option in the Connect IQ platform for any type of compression. The two main things which affect image load time is Cellular network download speed and the BT link between the phone and device. All of those are out of my control.

Leider wird der API Key nicht mehr zu Verfügung gestellt durch den Hersteller oder ich finde diesen nicht. Nach zwei Tagen suche auf der Web Seite des Hersteller, gebe ich heute nun auf. App habe ich gelöscht. Schade zwei Sterne von mir für den guten Garmin App Shop Auftritt.

Doesn’t work on Vivoactive HR, even though Garmin lists it as compatible. Just comes up with a red screen and some faint background text. Garmin should know better!

Please read the full description and follow the instructions to get a Aeris Weather key and install it via Garmin Connect Mobile. That should solve your problem. If it does not, please use the contact developer link and I will help figure out what is going on.
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
