Weather Ultimate 1.6.5
Simplistic UI that lacks features
You'd expect a weather app to be filled with all sorts of features and tools for you to use, but Weather Ultimate is quite stripped of even the most essential sections that almost all similar apps have. Therefore, it seems that the app is most suitable for users who only want basic information, without complementary sections.
That being said, the only changes that you can do to the app is enable information in the notification bar or switch to Fahrenheit degrees. You can also set the update interval to a minimum of 1 hour or up to 23 hours. The app comes with a help section that includes instructions on how to use it.
Check the weather for the next 4 days
Weather Ultimate displays the temperature, humidity percentage, visibility and wind speed for the current day. There's also information on the hour when the sun sets and rises. All the data is featured on a neat background that portrays current conditions.
There's also information on temperatures for the next 4 days. But there's no hourly forecast or comparison between days, making this app lag behind many similar weather applications.
Home screen widgets
The app lets you select multiple locations, but only by typing in a city in English. It uses the phone's GPS to find your location but doesn't pin point it to any map. In fact, the app doesn't use animation or graphs to visually display upcoming weather phenomenons.
Weather Ultimate it's missing some other features as well. It doesn't give notifications of severe weather alerts, nor does it have a news section. The home screen widget displays your location, date and hour, temperature and wind speed. It comes in two sizes.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The overall design is neat, but there are few settings to be made to the interface and the app lacks animation and graphs. |
Function6
Compared to other similar apps, Weather Ultimate is quite simplistic and lacks many essential features. |
Security8
The app needs access to quite a few areas of your phone, but you shouldn't worry as they're all connected to its features. |
Battery8
Consumption of battery is quite normal, but only if you turn off location services. |
Price9
Completely free of charge, but the app comes with banner and full page ads and there's no option of removing them. |
Compatibility8
The app should work just fine on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
Simplistic but relatively accurate app that needs some more work.
