The ability to see weather coming at you to me is invaluable. Ever go out hiking or biking and have a thunderstorm catch you, to late to look up! I know when I was farming I would have given lots of money to know what kind and intensity of weather was approaching, that would have literally over the years saved me a great deal of money and time.
To me the weather apps. and campgrounds finding apps. alone justify the cost of the smart phones and plans
But you're assuming that the weather apps are any more accurate than the weather people putting them out there. And so far weather forecasting is right up there with water witching, and reading tea leaves as far as accuracy is concerned.
I mean I can see you check out your apps and they say a big storm is on the way, so you cancel your climb, hike, cookout, whatever. Then it's "Oops, sorry we were wrong, the storm fizzled out."
