Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the weather forecasts?
BlueScore uses multiple reliable weather data sources including MET Norway API, WeatherAPI.com, and other professional meteorological services. Weather forecasts are most accurate for the next 3-5 days and become less precise for longer periods.
Why can I only search for dates within 10 days?
Weather forecasts beyond 10 days become significantly less reliable. BlueScore focuses on providing accurate, actionable weather information for near-term travel planning.
What's the difference between the free and Pro version?
The Pro version includes extended search options, access to more destinations, advanced filtering capabilities, and additional customization features. You can upgrade through a one-time purchase in the App Store.
How does BlueScore calculate weather scores?
BlueScore analyzes your weather preferences (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) for different times of day and compares them against forecasted conditions for each destination. Locations that best match your criteria receive higher scores.
Can I use BlueScore offline?
BlueScore requires an internet connection to fetch current weather data and location information.
Troubleshooting
App Not Loading Weather Data
- Check your internet connection
- Ensure you have the latest version of the app
- Try closing and reopening the app
- Restart your device if the problem persists
Adding Custom Places Issues
- When adding your own places, ensure they are within supported countries (Europe & Asia)
- Try variations of city names or nearby major cities in the search
- Custom place search works with Apple Maps database - very small towns may not be available
- Search requires at least 2 characters to start finding locations
- If a specific location isn't found, try searching for the nearest major city or well-known area
- Added places will then be included in your weather rankings alongside curated destinations
Performance Issues
