Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is nice because it uses live animation and visual effects, but it would have been better if image quality would have been higher. |
Function8
It works just fine, although it would need some more feature and the option to receive alerts of severe weather conditions. |
Security8
The app needs permission to some areas that aren't connected to its features, so it might pose some slight issues. |
Battery3
Since it uses live animation, consumption might be quite high so keep an eye on resources when using this app. |
Price8
It comes with banner and popup ads which you can remove if you upgrade to the premium version for 2.49$. |
Compatibility8
It needs devices running Android version 2.3.3 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
It's a nice app with cute live animation, but it still needs some improvements.
