Degrees - Weather App for Mac Review

I tend to go to Google for the current temperature and weather forecast. I prefer to know how to dress before I select my outfit, and the last thing I want to do is slip out in my pajamas to find out for myself. Plus, I don't own a television, so there is no way I could flip on the morning news to find out there. Sure, it isn't a huge problem, but having an app to see the temperature is certainly convenient.

Note: Don't forget to check our previously featured weather apps:

While there are a couple of good mobile apps for it, I prefer this desktop app from Mac Update. Degrees puts a small, simple temperature icon on your menu bar. It will automatically detect your coordinates to give you the most accurate reading possible. Or, you can manually enter a location to find out the temperature there.

What People Are Saying

There used to be this really annoying dialogue box that would pop up and ask for a rating every time you used Degrees. But after a lot of complaints from users who were otherwise happy with the app, the developers removed it. Now it runs smoothly, and everyone seems to enjoy the simple weather program.

Check it out for yourself!
