The Weather Channel Max – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

The Weather Channel Max ($3.99)
Version 1.76
REVIEW – “The most informative and powerful weather app you will ever need”
Personally I have never really considered needing another weather app besides the one that is automatically loaded onto the iPhone. But I must admit that The Weather Channel Max is pretty cool. 
The app has the basic info with current weather with all the usual information that you could ever ask which is followed by hourly weather, 36 hour forecast and the 10 day forecast. It even includes beach conditions, great for those of us in Orlando and on Spring Break!
But then the app continues to get interesting. By clicking Explore Map you can get a map that shows you the current and upcoming weather conditions in an updating map. It was just cool seeing the rain come in, even though it was sad to see such great weather get ruined by rain. The map was very interesting because it allowed me to see exactly what the conditions were like exactly where I am.
It even includes weather forecast videos for my area which allowed me to get real information without having to wait around for the news forecast. Though I did have the problem that if I watched the video, the audio would automatically play whenever I opened the app. I found this slightly annoying when I really had no interest in a weather forecast narration.
The app even includes severe weather alerts that can be accessed within the app or you can have them set as push notifications so that you can always be kept in the loop about the weather.
I honestly thought this app was a great tool to have, and it will probably keep me better informed about the weather than I have ever been because I rarely focus on anything beyond the current temperature and whether or not it is going to rain.
Even if thought that a simple weather app was enough, you might want to look into this app because it really takes weather apps to a whole new level and the amount of extra features available is rather amazing.
