Live Weather - Forecast Pro is a free utility from developer Sumit Kukadiya that covers the standard bases: current conditions, hourly forecasts, a 10-day outlook, and a weather map layer. It packs in a solid list of data points including UV index, dew point, cloud cover, visibility, and atmospheric pressure. Released in April 2024 with no updates since, it is a version 1.0 product in every sense, and the single five-star rating on record makes it nearly impossible to gauge real-world reliability.

Data Breadth vs. Execution

On paper the data offering is respectable. Sunrise and sunset times, wind direction, precipitation, humidity, altitude, and UV index all show up alongside the core temperature readout. That is a lot crammed into a 45 MB package. The concern is polish: the store listing itself contains typos and cut-off sentences, which raises honest questions about how carefully the underlying data presentation and unit-switching logic were tested before launch.

Who This Is For

Casual users who just want a quick local forecast and do not mind being an early adopter may find this serviceable at no upfront cost. Anyone who relies on weather data for travel planning, outdoor work, or safety decisions should look for an app with a longer track record and a meaningful review sample. One rating from one user is not a foundation of trust for a utility you depend on daily.

The Version 1.0 Problem

The release date and the last update date are identical, April 25, 2024, meaning no patches or improvements have shipped since launch. For a weather app that pulls real-time data, ongoing maintenance matters. API changes, location permission handling on newer OS versions, and unit display bugs all require active developer attention. Sumit Kukadiya has not demonstrated that cadence yet, which is the single biggest reason to be cautious.

Pros

  • Free to download with a wide range of data points included
  • Covers current conditions, hourly, and 10-day forecasts in one place
  • Includes less common metrics like dew point, UV index, and altitude
  • Lightweight at 45 MB for the feature count it advertises
  • Weather map layer adds a visual option beyond raw numbers

Cons

  • Only one user rating, making quality and stability nearly impossible to judge
  • No updates since the April 2024 launch date raises maintenance concerns
  • Store listing contains visible typos and incomplete sentences, suggesting rushed release
  • In-app purchase structure is unspecified, so cost ceiling is unknown
  • No established developer reputation to provide confidence in data accuracy
