Latest reviews of Holiday Climate app for iPhone and iPad
This app doesnt work on my iPad mini retina. I just see world map, but search isnt work. Back my money, or fix it!
The app generally works well for those locations listed in the cities list. Settings can be set to either degrees C or F but if you set for F and then use the Search function, the dispay reverts to degrees C and the other data reported in the bar graphs makes no sense. The numerical values do not relate correctly to each graphs legend. Reseting to degrees F at that point, erases the current location you searched for, and displays a default location for the current country setting. So there is no way to get a degree-F report for any location other than those in the listing. There is also no support section on the developers web page, so my complaint is aired here.
The search facility does not find major tourist destinations. When choosing say Florida, and picking a city from the list (short) supplied the application presented me with an error message in German on countless occasions. The application does contain links to outside websites (easy to create) but in my view you would be better off accessing climate information by using Google or similar - getting it more quickly and for free!
App doesnt even open. Waste of money. iPhone 6s
