Weather Kitty 1.1.4
But it's not just fluffiness, the app is also good at providing you with the latest weather reports, as it collects the information from Wunderground.com and lets users enable notifications for whenever conditions change dramatically.
Sleek and extremely cute design
The app launches directly with the home page featuring a HD wallpaper with a kitten. It comes with onscreen instructions, showing users how to access all features inside the app and what gestures to use, in order to change cities or themes.
You'll have to enable your GPS so that the app may detect your location and display conditions on the home screen. You can add cities manually and shift through them by sliding the screen left and right. Simply tap on the paw on the bottom of the screen to access settings and other options.
Customize the app to your liking
Weather Kitty lets you pick from multiple themes, you simply need too access the store and browse through all the nice available themes. You can also pick Grumpy Cat, but you'll have to purchase the theme for 1.99$.
In fact, many themes of popular cats are paid, but the price might actually be worth it since the themes are free of annoying banner and popup ads that appear inside the app. Still, there are plenty of free and cute themes to pick from. In addition, you can share the app easily on social networks.
Check the weather
Swipe the screen up to check full weather reports imported from Wunderground.com. It shows you the wind speed, air pressure, heat index and dew point. It also provides you with a 10 day forecast, with chances of rain and temperature indexes.
The app also displays hourly temperatures and conditions for the upcoming day. In addition, it shows a radar filled with detailed information, together with details on when the sun rises and sets and all is delivered in a neat design with kittens in the background. All in all, it's a good and cute idea, but the app needs some improvements as it takes a while to shift through cities and it does crash a lot.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The interface is really nice and fluffy, with cute themes of famous or ordinary but sweet kittens for your phone screen. |
Function7
It has some stability issues and seems to take a while to shift through cities and apply changes to the interface. |
Security9
It only needs access to some areas of your phone, mostly the ones that are connected to its features, so there's no need to worry about privacy issues. |
Battery3
Consumption is really high and there's no option to limit updates so that you may save some battery. |
Price8
The cutest themes are paid and the app comes with banner and popup ads. Still, paid themes cost about 1.99$ and they're free of ads. |
Compatibility8
It works on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
It's a nice app, but not even the cute kittens can compensate for the high battery consumption or stability issues.
