WxFix Tips & Tricks: How to Get a 6 Day Forecast
With WxFix on the App Store and on users’ iPhones and iPod touches now for nearly two months, it’s time to provide some tips & tricks to help you use the app to its fullest capability. There’s a lot to this app, and if we can help you discover and make us of its many features, we’ll all benefit.
First up, how do you get a 6 day forecast by day instead of by hour? We’ve heard from several users who either didn’t know this feature existed, or did but didn’t know how to access it, and were tired of swiping through the hourly forecast screen to see the forecast 6 days out.
So, how do you do this? First, make sure you’re in the “Now” screen (touch the “Now” button on the lower left tile on your screen display), select “Current” (if it’s not on the “Current” screen already), tap once anywhere on the Now/Current screen…. voila, you’ll see the six day forecast pop up from the bottom, with the current and next two days showing at the bottom of the screen. Swipe the day forecast tiles to the left to see the next three days after that, swipe back to the right to go back to current and next two days. You can touch each day tile to see the forecast summary for that day. You can do this for any of your favorite locations you’ve saved, as well as for your current location. Tap the “Now/Current” screen again and and the 6 day tiles will pop back down.
So there you go… now you know how to see the 6 day forecast. Next up, for WxFix Standard users, how to drop a pin and save it as a favorite.
