AccuWeather - Weather for Life 8.1.0

Out of the box, your iPhone has plenty of built-in apps to cover your most basic needs, including a nice weather app that can be customized to give you basic information about multiple locations. Some people, however, want the full weather report at any given time.

For those people, AccuWeather Inc. has created a mind-blowing tool that revolutionizes the way we get our forecasts on the move. You never thought a weather app could be this cool.

Makes even a rainy day look awesome

Let’s put it this way. No matter how bad the weather is outside, AccuWeather makes it look spectacular. It has brilliant animations, realistic representations of the actual weather you’re having (rain, fog, scorching heat), customizable data that you can actually drag and move on your screen in accordance with your viewing preferences.

It’s in line with iOS 7 too. It uses translucency, flat graphics and thin fonts. The color palette gives off a cosy feel and it’s easy on the eyes. The UI is intuitive enough for everyone to pick up and use, but the developers were thoughtful enough to include an animated descriptive guide to show people how to play with the customizable items in its interface.

Descriptive weather animations

The best thing about AccuWeather is it’s looks, but it shines twice as bright coupled with what it can actually do.

You get descriptive weather animations illustrating the weather forecast for any given time (up to the next 15 days, or more with in-app purchase), complete with temperature, humidity, pressure, UV, GPS location, an animated weather radar for tracking a storm’s path, easy swiping between screens for weather details in different cities, a local forecast summary, and much, much more.

As its name implies, the MinuteCast feature offers minute by minute weather forecasts for the next two hours, hyper-localized to your street address. Severe weather alerts are pushed straight to your iPhone’s lock screen.
