Real Weather 2.1.0.0
Windows Phone users can browse through loads of apps of this kind in the Store, but only a few of them are really worth keeping. Among those who make a dash for the first places in the users' preferences, Real Weather brings an interpretation quite different from the rest.
Cool looking and customizable interface
This utility will greet you with a quite nice appearance that includes high-quality backgrounds and graphics well balanced to form an appealing and very functional layout.
The wallpapers on which the weather data is presented can be changed with minimal efforts and you can use as background the photos in your personal gallery or opt for the Bing image of the day.
The color scheme can be changed as well and the modifications will also be visible onto the live tile. After a couple of uses, a reminder will pop up, prompting you to review and rate Real Weather.
Weather data at a glance for any location you select
With the help of this utility you will be able to check out the current conditions or get the forecast for the upcoming days for the location you are in.
In case you want to view the same type of data for a different place, simply deactivate the GPS localization from the "Settings" menu and insert the name of the new location.
In a few moments you will receive inside the main screen the information regarding the humidity, temperature, pressure and cloud cover. Unfortunately, you might stumble on certain inadvertencies, like having the same value shown for the minimum and maximum temperature.
Funny weather description and 3-day forecast
Real Weather has a specific feature that can put a smile on your face, more precisely it refers to the amusing way in which it describes the current conditions in the dedicated section.
Insofar as the prognosis for the following days is concerned, the same approach is preserved and inside the area where the forecast is presented you will also get the estimated low and high temperatures for the next 3 days.
