Arcus Weather 5.0.5a

Check the weather in multiple locations using this neat app
Weather applications are really popular on Google Play Store, mainly because many people like to check the weather before they step out of the house, and the easiest way to do that is by using a weather app on your phone.

There are many weather apps on the market, some focus on design while others are more interested in providing users with the latest reports. One of such apps is Arcus Weather. It's filled with all sort of features that you could use in order to check the weather.

Sleek interface with plenty of features at hand

The first thing that you need to do inside the app is to enable location services so that it can pinpoint your location and provide you with a local report. It doesn't come with a tutorial or anything like that, which means that you're gonna have to figure the app on your own.

The app may have some trouble with establishing your location, so you might need to manually input your exact location. You can add multiple locations, as to make it easy to check the weather in all sort of cities from around the world.

Check the weather easily

The app lets you check the weather easily, simply by tapping on the desired location and by sliding the screen left to get access to hourly and daily forecasts. It comes with a side menu that provides users with access to all sort of sections.

It has some settings, choose the unit system for temperature and wind speed, as well as the time format. You can also choose from two available themes and users have the option to add charts to the home screen. You can also adjust the text size chart.

More features

Other than that, the app provides you with information on upcoming conditions for the next 10 days, together with temperatures, a graph with precipitations and wind speeds. You can also check humidity, pressure, dew point and visibility.

The app tells you when the sun rises and sets, as well as conditions for the next few hours and days. It even has weather widgets that are highly customizable and you can have the app display a temperature icon on the notification bar. Users can also change the language of the forecast.
